    Been thinking about a volvo 340 or 360.
    Can people list mods you can do to them to make them better to drift with?
    Such as known suspension mods, brakes, engine swaps etc?

    :dw:

    i ownly know the 340 as i have one and what i have done is start with a 1.7 then 2inch blocks on the back and landy 90 dampers, cut 1 coil off the front springs and while you have the springs off open the dampers drain the oil and put gearbox oil in or engin oil if you dont want it to stiff(this ownly works if your dampers are origenal with NO inserts) then weld your diff and she will drive like a differnt car:thumbs:

    p.s. once you feel you need more powerz do the 16v conversion its simple and cheep and you will have most the parts you need off your 1.7

    well ive just picked up my 16v engine
    Picture425.
    landy 90 dampners are a new one to me though


    best thing to do is get one as cheap as possible, weld the diff, and go from there then slowly upgrade as there really isnt alot of options out there.

    Ok thanks mate.
    Just wanted something dirt cheap and that can take some abuse plus I love the volvo 340 looks when its low and wide wheeled :thumbs:
