Got the New family car today.

It's a 1978 Volvo 244 Wagon , but before you start screaming and running in horror (you can do that after). It has something different about it :

*Worked 308 -- Forgies, roller rockers , head work etc... bout 340HP when tuned up right.

* Turbo 350 trans --- Shift kit , no stall.

* LSD Diff.

Its Red... its ugly... it just might kick your ass with a load of shopping and three kids in the back.:wave:

Volvo Mods completed:

* B&M Megashifter Quickshifter.

* Sprint Gas Conversion

Next mod will be the fitting of the Edlebrock manifold I bought last night for $99. Should get me another 25HP.

Hosed an VU SS last night, he couldn't believe it. Ahh.. so much fun it's criminal.

well...technically I'm a trev when driving the volvo too.

The wagon might get to the drags later. Depends whether the kids and wife like walking back home if I blow something up...then again I could bring the skyline and we could all pile in that:D

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
