Who else wastes too much time on 240 Volvos?

[DaveyDaveDaveDave]

I have a 1980 242. Its the second cleanest car Ive ever owned. And I want it cleaner. Im doing lots of goofy shit like adding power steering, later brakes, stuff like that. Just looking for somebody who knows what the hell theyre doing with these things and can maybe answer a question or twodozen. So speak up, I already know youre nuts enough to fuck with datsuns, I know theres volvo guys lurking.

[Skib]

I like playing with the 122S

[BJW's FiveTen's]

Dad had a volvo shop for 20+ years I started hanging out there when I was 13. I have had at least ten 240's from a 79 wagon to a 91 sedan also a few Turbo cars and even one v8 242. I currently have a 86 wagon and a 91 sedan. I'll lend you any knowledge Ive learned along the way. I love those cars. Been in two nasty wrecks and the cars are amazingly tough.

Replace the rear main seal ( seriously ,,, it's really common with higher miles volvo's lol )

240 volvo's are bulletproof ...

ocassional wire might get soaked in oil or get a bad connection and good bad ...

there's not a lot that goes wrong with them

 

740's

850's

V70's

 

^^^ are all good cars !!!

 

Like a datsun ,, do your maintenance ,, change your oil often ( especially if Turbo ) and they will last forever

[Aaron Datsun]

I just got rid of a 240 wagon, it was a great car.

[BJW's FiveTen's]

Clean the flame trap and no seal problems. I do it every oil change. Way easier than changing the rear main.

Would you mind measuring the WMS to WMS distance for me? I have been pondering the use of the 240 rear axle as a replacement for 510 wagons.

[BJW's FiveTen's]

the rear axle is 53" I used one in my Fiat 131/brava it was only 3/4 inch wider overall, so 3/8 a side they have huge rear disks and a real ebrake in the hat of the rotor. Also you can get a good gear type (thorsen lsd for around $500 and a lot of ratio choices, its a Dana 30 same as most every jeep from 75-current.

[BJW's FiveTen's]

Also some factory limited slips are a clutch type, few far and in between. Not as strong as the aftermarket gear type LSD.

Thankyou for that. And that is exactly why I want one for a 510 wagon. Sounds like a perfect replacement to me. Now to just figure out bolt pattern issues.

yes sir !

 

Quite a few used volvo's I have come in contact with have already blown out rear mains .. :lol: I just thought it was kinda funny occurence ! :lol:

My fiat was 4x98mm and I had a machine shop make plugs and they were I believe welded into place (they might have been threaded plugs, ). Then they re-drilled to the pattern I needed. Been like that for 15+ years no problems.

volvo pattern is 5x108

[BJW's FiveTen's]

Also every Pull a part up here has at least 3 240's at any given time.

[BJW's FiveTen's]

Here is my 131/Brava with the Volvo Diff.

 

Here is a pic of my first car. It is a 1980 Fiat Brava. Funny thing is back in the early 90's when I started to drive a lot of people thought it was a 510. It was nowhere near this nice then. But it is restored to where I'm proud of it and it is now a very rare car. Just wanted to share. I am so lucky to have my first car still.

Enjoy

I fuel injected it when I was 17. I spun a bearing my freshman year of college. That is what started the restoration. It was stripped to bare metal and dad and I painted it in the garage. I bought a 131sport that had been imported from Germany and that is where the euro bumpers and body cladding came from and the Abarth grill. It also has the euro int, and a close ratio short shift Abarth trans. The weak part of that car was the rear end. I blew up seven of them in High School. So it now has a custom Volvo/Dana30 Rear in it, and so far, it is still alive. The engine is mildly built, still injected. Dad and I still toy with the Idea of putting a Turbo on it. When my 510 runs circles around the Brava I have a feeling it will see some forced induction. I have a built KA24DE-T for my dime, so I cant wait to finish it to re-visit the Fiat again, It is done so I am going to leave it alone until I have another toy to drive.

[schassisowner]

got the gf into a 240 two years ago... just over 105k on the clock. When she gets done with college and wants something newer Ill probably scoop it up for a daily

[ggzilla]

Not another '240' fan ... have you tried sillyvia.com?

[Dat Lurka]

Never had a 240.

I've had a 740 wagon and a 740GL Turbo wagon.

Still have a couple hundred dollars of front end parts if anyone needs them.

the 1800es is my fav vulva

if you had read the thread... and or even the title for that matter...

 

youd realize hes talking about 240 volvos

 

[DaBlist]

Love 140 & 240's. Just wish they weren't so heavy. I think it makes more sense to V8 a Volvo than a Datsun because of their weight.

[ggzilla]

ha ha, got skib

 

All I know is Top Gear said they were terrible cars
