Picked this baby up yesterday from elgin, volvo 360 2.0 66,000 miles. Only done a few practice drifts which saw the passenger side mirror broken and the wing bent.

Lets hear the modification ideas then to make it rally style!!




On the move action shot

 

Cant wait to see that drifting round knockhill! you serious?!

 

You didn't take long damaging it I didn't know that they came in 2.0, is it fun?

 

Porsche 944 style rear gearbox for weight disribution

er.....cool

 

Col its not going to be for anything like that, private road stuff. Paul its 105bhp which i thought wouldn't be enough but its more than happy to get very sideways, the blowing exhaust adds that rally car feel.

Drifting one of those ?
Erm cool.... I think. I used to have one of them yonks and yonks ago.

I've said too much, I'll get my coat before I'm banned forever

 

It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sh*t but therefore soooooooooooooooo good I can't wait for a shot of it We need to film that and the S2000 doing jap-like drift combo's and call the vid, 'chalk n' cheese'

 

I got lent one of these when I dropped my T5 off at a specialist for a service, I rewarded their genrosity of lending me an untaxed, un MOT'd car by bouncing it off kerbs.

Spun a GLT version on the Bredbury roundabout, a company hack, tough as old boots and just as smelly.

 

kenny you wont beable to compete in a drift competition, once those 175's break away it'll slide for ages. Ill let you drive it, you wont believe the suspension crazy soft dampers must be away.

175s

 

I had a Volvo 340 DL (1.4) when I was a student in Manchester! No one is going to nick it!

Anyway, you'll find that the 1.4 and 1.7 units are from Renault! The 1.7 unit is the same as the R5 GTX. The 1.4 R5 GTT engine should drop straight in, using the same mounts I have that on good authority from a guy who use to mod R5s!

 

Theres no need in an engine conversion andy this is the all singing all dancing 2.0!!

 

Turbo and strip it - what a sleeper!

 

Couldn't the R5 GTT 1.4 turbo unit make 160-180bhp relatively easily??

Then again the 440/460/480 Turbo had the 1.7 Renault engine (R5 GTX) but with a turbo. I think they were 120bhp (or thereabouts) as standard, but can take a T25/T3 turbo making over 250bhp with various modifications (IIRC from back in the day in an old M** P****)

Loads of old 440/460/460 Turbos being sold and broken on ebay!

 

Some mods are requied, maybe some huge rally mudflaps. I would like to construct a bonnet scoop and boot spoiler(for down force lol) at the weekend, will have to get the fibre glass out(thinking sti8 size at least).

TURBO, TURBO, TURBO, TURBO!!!!

 

bugger. a more comical drift car than mine

 

just to add, need a spare drift bitch as ours is getting a bit shagged, are the 440/460/480 all rwd? don't suppose any have lsd's? stupid question.....

 

The nearest this thing will be getting to a turbo will be 1 foot high turbo stickers up the side. Andy a turbo is really not required and to prove this ill tell you what make the rear tyres are, you'll love this saxoboy



Kinpin re-moulds

 

 

^^^^ Over inflated aswell.

The volvo 440/460/480 range is all front wheel drive i think but not 100% sure, the other volvo fans on here will be able to tell you, love that drift picture.

 

just googled 'volvo 480' and found that out

I ran 2 bar in the front and 3 bar in the rear last drift day- absolutely 0 traction!!!

 

"Kinpin re-moulds"

Seriously, what the f! are those!! Is that remolds made from old gym shoes or what

 

There the latest in fancy street racing tyres, i would really recomend a pair for the back of the s2000, i might need to buy the 406 rear spolier for the volvo.

RRH get a sierra/capri thats what i wanted but this beauty had to be snapped up.

 

dead right, thought you were mad when you said about the volvo but can see the attraction; now I know you're stark raving bonkers and I want one too! Only one 360 on autotrader site in the whole country, and none on ebay at all!

you coming down to the drift day at Oulton on the 17th? here's our BMW on the last day out

forgot to add, my mate snaaped a drive shaft on his sierra last time (might be because I rammed him on the start line though....) and all the capris are massively snatchy with no lsd, although the 2.8 isn't so bad with the lsd.

 

Cant get the codec for that video, Oulton would be good but to far away for the drift monster. Whats 3bar in psi 36?? I think the rears are at 30psi at the moment, seems fine might try more at the weekend.

About 45 PSI

 

They are FWD IIRC, but you only want the engine!
