1989 Volvo 340 1.7 32k from new!

It's had two previous owners, and as you can see by the odometer, it's done 32000 miles and although it doesn't have history to back up the mileage, I'm positive that it's 100% accurate, going by the fresh paint on the arch bolts, underside condition, interior, total lack of rust (apart from a ...

Thanks a lot people. Much appreciated. I didn't realise places like Euro Performance catered for the 340 - I spent ages searching Google as well.

Maybe this post could be put up as a sticky or in FAQ?

I'll probably just go for braided lines, EBC pads and standard discs - I run 5.1 in my other ...

Uprated pads?

Are there any cars that share the 1.7 340 caliper? Because I'm after a set of uprated pads for mine. Unless there are any firms out there that actuually produce 340 fitment fast road pads of course?

Can anyone point in the right direction?

Thank you please.

Uprated dampers!

I don't seem to be having much luck in finding any. But I'm after a full set of adj. uprated dampers for a 1.7 340 drift car. Anyone?!

I'm after new ones btw, or a set of lightly used ones.

Cheers!

Hi mate, all is well thanks, just bought a service kit from Volvo. And I'm going to order some expensive Lucas oil for it, so it stays tip top! Keep an eye on RR for progress. :P

1.7 340 engine oil - track work

Hi there

I've bought a 32k mile 340 as advertised on this board and I have a question... what is the best engine oil for a 1.7 that will under go regular abuse?

It will be used on the road, and in the winter, but at the weekend, it will be used for drifting.

I understand 10/40 semi-synthetic is ...
