Hi there, maybe you all don't understand me, but I can't speek swedish. I could be that some of you already seen my cars on V3M, but I also wanted to show some pictures here:

















If there are any questions, don't doubt!

i'll try to keep it update.

[Redhead85]

hey.. and welcome.. =)

liked your rear springs. where did u get those? is it homemade coilover?
looks really nice and i think Enok is looking for something like that.

[rwd-student]

It are dampers engineerd bij Koni, Netherlands. I'v found them on a second hand partswebsite. They are very rare. They work excelent.

[Redhead85]

they look as they were made for that car. do you have any serial number or model number from them?

[rwd-student]

Yes, they where made for the volvo 300. If i'm at home, i will take a look for the serial number.

[Redhead85]

it's possible that what u got there is R-Sport spring. (coilovers) and they are kinda rare.

[Bekkis]

[rwd-student]

A little opdate on my cars

The 340: I lowerd the front a bit, because I could't get any stiffers springs over here, i try'd it with one coil less At the same time mounted new koni's I adjust them half way stiff. Because of the very stiff rear, and pretty weak front its very nice oversteerd!



Rear lowering will be soon I hope. And also install the miggdiff. I do want to get my driftlicence, so I can drive competitions.

The 343: oliecooler, oilthemostat, turboheader etc:

[GustavE]

 
quite a snake pit under your hood.
me like!!

[rwd-student]

Yes I know... I feel  about it.... But I want to make it looking good. When everyting works, I will make everything look better.

[Mefistofeles]

Where did you find the adapter, that between the engine and oilfilter?

[rwd-student]

Hai David!

It is a Mocal thermostatic adapter, bought by www.racehardware.nl (Holland, distributor) http://www.isa-racing.de/

Original it had also a adapter:



But I wanted a thermostatic one. I think I can sell the old one to some renault freak.

I'm waiting for some new parts for my 343. A few seals, sparkplugs, vacuum hose, adapter for oilfeed turbo... I think I can start up the engine for the first time then. But tomorrow on vacation in Belgium and french

Hi there Frits!

Nice to see that your project is getting forward.. I'm in between..It's not snowing yet you know..
Yeah! That mocal thermostatic adapter would fit great in my project too, so i just have to buy one....

have a great vacation man!

[rwd-student]

A few exterior changes, i like it 

[FREJ]

Looks great!

Nice car you have there!

Some that I noticed:

343 L? In Sweden we just have DL or GL or of course GLT! (For the 300, but on 1 & 200 we have L to)

The wing on your tail I have never seen, neither the holder for the licenseplate.
And nice "ramp" between the rear lights!  To bad it does'nt fit my 1987 360 

Keep up, but have you the engine running now?

[rwd-student]

Hey there!

In Holland we had a few cheap ass 340's. The 340 L and the 340 winner, everything that not definately should be on a car, was left away. And my 340 L has a single solex carb instead of the 2 trap webber. My car has only 64 hp....

The 343 was DL or GL yes..

The rear tailspoiler is a standard mkII GLT!

The licenceplate holder is a original volvo accecoire :] Came with the reflector as a set.

About the 343 Turbo... Eh, engine isn't running yet. I have to buy a few last things, but I don't have the money right now.. I'll have to wait.

Grtz,

Frits

[rwd-student]

Little update

I'm pretty busy with school, so don't have much time for the volvo's. The 343 isn't running yet, but i'll get some little parts this week for the turbo oilfeed.

I was thinking about a 60mm exhaust from the turbo. Only one absorbtion damper, I think it is enough.
 
I also have some other wheels, which looks a bit modern. However, in the winter now, the white ones go back.



Grtz Frits

[FREJ]

Nice wheels, both sets but I agree, the modern looks better in the summer.

Keep up with school, its important!

And thanks for updating us here on 300 Power!

[rwd-student]

It runs!

Without exhaust lol

[Kurre86]

Very nice!

[FREJ]

Cool!

[ale]

Congratulations!

Nice to hear the motor running and the turbo blowing!  Hopefully may I borrow a camera this winther and upload some snowy movies for all 300 maniacs to see.

[rwd-student]

I got it new on a second hand market.

Actually, I didn't really liked it. So I toke it off... But it damaged when I dismounted it 

My english isn't good either

[FREJ]

Nice drift pics 
Seems to be a lot of fun!

Do you have a video at youtube or somewhere else maybe? 

[rwd-student]

That was definately a lot of fun yeah! One of the best days of my life 

I made some onboard movie's whith a old fashioned camera. Have to get it digital. I'll give it a try.

Nice!
But what is MOT? Manifold over temperature? 

[rwd-student]

I think it means a yearly check in england  Before you can hit the road.

However, we call it APK in dutch. Don't know how I say it in swedisch?

Okey 

In Sweden we call it "besiktning". Direct English translation will be "inspection".
It is performed by the "Swedish Car Testing", "Svensk Bilprovning" in swedish.

[rwd-student]

Boost..

[FREJ]

Hello again, sorry for not comment the video you put up here in your last message!
Nice power in your car now!

And about the last pictures.. took a spin or two in the brain before I got it!

What has happend.. is it just hard driving or is it something else that cause the HOT exhaust manifold?

[rwd-student]

Haven't been updating for a long time too. However, the 343 is gone. Put the engine and gearbox into the 340.

Done the first drift competition. Got 4th. Everybody liked the turbo.

The exhaust is just a bit hot. THe (phone) camera makes it look like superr hot. It isn't

Regards

It is in dutch, if you have any questions, don't hesitate
about the 343. It stands workless @ my parents home. Probably gonna sell it.

The 340 is amazing now.. Loads of power. I guess about 130 horsepower. 5 gearbox and welded diff. Turbo works excellent, spools up very quick.
