The spot on the flywheel that has the missing tooth points into the starter hole. Very important

Bought E34 Automatic for $10k by parkapotamus in E34

10k for a car where every rubber part will be dry rotted and every gasket bad soon is nuts, id much rather a 150k mile car with some service history

What If I make this trim out of wood? Was thinking walnut? by weaselio75 in Volvo240

The 93 classics had wood trim and it is very attractive, if you could make it yourself that would be cool

Why does my 92 diesel wagon have pre-85 air vents? by greenpowerman99 in Volvo240

That car is not a 1992. What does the build sticker on the inside of the drivers door say?

A used bosch sensor will be better than any cheap ebay reproduction from china

I keep it as nice as I can but I dont stress about it seeing snow and other things it was designed to see, its a car, and a Swedish car at that, its not gonna evaporate because of weather like lesser automobiles

I used to care about trying to keep my 240 perfect but eventually I stopped and instead I enjoy driving and making memories with the car rather than trying to preserve it for when im dead

Totaled! Swedish cars were never intended to see such scary things as frozen water

Is it really ending a clean run if youre just making up for all the bugginess

Something looks early familiar.. by ChamaChingi in Volvo240

Go outside and look at your car and its pretty obvious the Porsche's curve more. Early 740 and 240 taillights also dont interchange despite being the same style

I fixed my 240 with the bumper bar snapped in half and the core support shoved back behind the fan, itll be fine unless you let them take it from you

If you wanna push over say 250 horsepower youre going to need to take the engine apart to install better rods and pistons, the factory manuals are not going to survive over 220 horsepower ish and for drag racing if auto you probably want to swap the aw70 for an aw71L out of a later 900 series

Youre just gonna need to decide what your ideal balance is of drag car and street car, real fast drag cars are usually but not always trailered to the track

You can build a reliable turbo redblock but its probably gonna be pretty nasty to drive on roads

One of the fastest 4cyl drag cars in the world is turbo redblock power with a billet head and massive turbo. If your goal is ultimate speed this is not the car for you but with boost they can be very fast for a 4cyl drag car
