https://ozvolvo.org/discussion/comment/188316#Comment_188316 Early S40 are 4x114.3, so not a good fit on a 960.

Bit of stuff still floating around. Black Phase2 T4 is still here, white manual Phase1.5 T4 has found its way back here but now with a dead motor. Lots of the “nothing” stuff has been ditched. Will check on condition of door trim and antenna for …

Hey, Bowie, you’re still alive! :) Haven’t seen your brother at Marulan for a while now too.

https://cdn.ozvolvo.org/uploads/985/JKSN2RCC7ZTS.jpeg Finally got around to looking at it, and yeah: that kick down cable isn’t happy. Thank you hive mind.

240s have a wide lip on the wheel arches that is particularly thick (three layers of sheet metal, IIRC). So not only does it intrude into the wheel wells more than most, it is far less willing to 'conform' to the tyres' needs than most. Cut it and f…

Good day in the race car today. https://cdn.ozvolvo.org/uploads/437/KHQEZXF25XMB.jpeg For some reason (date clash??) a depleted field for the final round of the Summer Series today. 9 cars, with the series leading Toyota 86 absent. So the #711 Cel…

Final bid was $25k, which seems about right to me.

"EOI" scares off almost everybody. Putting a price on them will at least get the discussion going.

The early B230s also have a crappy, undersized thrust bearing on the crank. I thought that the improved version came out in late 1989?? Based on what I have read, you can make skinny rods survive ok if you detune the crap out of the engine in the …

I know nothing of the specifics of the Gas-a-justs or how they relate to 120s, but monotubes are a big win.

George M has also said that it has a stroker crank in it. I'm trying to work out if the Hans Appelgren who apparently owns it is the old dirt biker and former Husqvarna motorcycles importer of the same name.

The kit was originally paired with an A cam. Back a million years ago, the A cam was considered to be the best factory performance turbo cam - but I don’t know if the people saying that had actually used the bigger cams or simply dismissed them as …

George M has confirmed that it is a genuine 123GT. I am intrigued by the 2.4 litre B20 though...

I'm not doing any of this. Just bouncing ideas. :)

I have a spare in good condition.

Attitude/philosophy to building a motorsport car. Been kicking the idea of this post around in my head for a while now, but was finally motivated by some new blokes at the Deputy 4hour Enduro yesterday. They'd built their car on a budget and appear…

The lower bush in the leg is about 60mm above the bottom of the threaded sleeve. My plan is to weld the sleeve to the leg at the bottom, in three ~10mm long welds. This will limit the distortion and ensure that it is away from the bushes.
