Never though a Volvo 340 would be this cool. Remember alloyboy used to drift one around Moneymore! Were did you find a 16v engine at, does it fit straight onto the volvo gearbox?

Yep, bolts right in. A few bits to swap off the old engine (Alt, sump, bell housing etc)

Anyway, the engines in and all the mechanical work done. Ive my loom sent away to be altered so thats all im waiting on.

Got my manifold flipped and an exhaust made up. Engines all plumbed in and a throttle cable bodged together then a fuel pump wired up. Should be ready to go when my "Plug and Play" loom gets back, no rush as ive exams over the next 2 weeks.

I picked up a set of revos cheap but they look like a bollocks to fit (sleeved nuts needed and probably extended studs)

Its a bit sharper now. First half of the video is the old 1.7, second half is the new Clio lump. Still loads to do.

This is for sale. Comes with an extra 340 parts car. Loads of spares and the original engine. Pm me.

Only seeing this thread. That sounds awesome. Underrated wee cars for sliding about in no doubt!

See it sitting and was wondering what you were doing with it, should sell easy enough at that money I would have thought.

Just one of those things I've lost enthusiasm for/ will never get round to unfortunately.
