Nice.
As it is a Volvo. do you have to drive with your headlights on
(It used to be a UK joke in the seventies when Volvos were first seen un the UK with their lights always on)

Cool, I like the R gauges.

Could you post some details about the car. Like what engine and running gear you used. It looks like a turbo with the exhuast. How does it go with that engine? I know you Swedish guys get crazy HP out of Volvo 8v Turbos.

Can you tell i'm a Volvo lover?

Again, nice car!

It`s a 2.3 L engine,Double Weber carbs, 210 Hp, M47 Gearbox and a rear axle from Volvo 740 with a race diff.

This Engine runs very nice
Next year iám going to replace this 2.3 L to a 2.5 L

And the car is nice to drive to!

excellent , good to see .

is the engine dry sumped , if not how highs the bonnet of the chassis etc.

Im building a turbo version , with some very nice SPM internals , so youll know how much power i can sport , if necessary .


ill start off with an M47 , but i have a dogleg getrag to fit once ive done the basic install first.

Nice Rsport gauges !!

Have you got any pics of the rear suspension setup ?
