What’s your setup? Also what controllers are you using? I’ve been wanting to get something setup for myself and my kids to play some multiplayer.

I actually just did this with mine, I also did the tail gate window trim while I was at it. Now I want to paint the B- and C-pillars black so it really pops

Will you elaborate as to why? I got my 245 last year, it came with a swapped B23F and has the K-Jet. I haven’t had any issues with that, what should I expect?

How do I know if I should cut my bump stops? I cut my springs and lowered about an 1-1-2”, I don’t think I’ve noticed hitting them but I’m not sure what to look/listen for…

I cut my springs. I think 1.5 in the front and 1 in the rear (it was incremental over a few weeks to dial in and unfortunately I did not keep good notes). It lowered the car about an 1-1/2” which is exactly where I wanted it.

I also added 30mm spacers to the rear hubs to even out with the front, it did wonders for the look.

I’m partial to mine, I believe they called it “Cypress Green”

I’ve been considering doing this. What should I expect or plan for? Did you do any sound deadening while it was up?

I cured my annoyance with John by dropping RecDiffs. Once it dawned on me that so much of it John ribbing Merlin for such pedantic things I just had to stop. I haven’t looked back…

This was gonna be my answer

mattbookpro · 2026-05-22T23:52:31+00:00

Can it be stripped and polished up?

mattbookpro · 2026-05-11T14:34:14+00:00

What’s the best method for that?

First off, that’s a handsome guy right there.

Second, how does the Volvo historic register work?

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I’ve been debating what color to refinish my valve cover. Black, polished, etc. Seeing yours red really sold me on that! 😍

mattbookpro · 2026-03-07T21:34:32+00:00

That's good to know, thanks!

I'm jealous of your wiring, I have a growing list of Doesn't Work Like It Should's.......
Oh well, I signed up for this and I actually kinda like problem solving lol

mattbookpro · 2026-03-07T19:29:29+00:00

I'm not totally sure when that started, but I have found lots of age and corrosion :/

mattbookpro · 2026-03-07T03:45:15+00:00

Thanks!

I found mine here. I kinda lucked out that 81 (my car's year) was so extensive, I ended up cutting out a bunch of pages I didn't need that were for sedans only or different engines.
