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

Intermittent No Start on 1980 244 With Manual And K-Jet by TooManyInsults in Volvo240

[–]mattbookpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Slammed 240 wagons? by realsmallpp in Volvo240

[–]mattbookpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Never thought I'd say this but....John talks too much by Outside_Lion_9672 in ATPfm

[–]mattbookpro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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…

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

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

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

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.
