mines being welded this weekend mate so will let you no how good sideways she is ;) this is my 1st 340 i have ever owned so couldnt tell you if there better than a 1.4 but there quicker than a micra lol thats about all i can tell you im striping mine out this weekend as it needs weight reduction putting some recaros in harness and got a hydro bought for me from the mrs so that will be going.
1.4,s are class for messing i and 1 welded there super ya wouldent think it is there only a 1.4 ,and they take horrible trashing, :D you wouldent really need 2 strip in out tho well it would help a bit but you would get away with it like,look cooler striped out tho hehe, i,m go starting on my 340 soon this week lower it and try find super lights there
expensive tho ,,it might look ok with the wheels that are on it aa will soon fine out i,best of luck with your volvo! let me know the story,, sm4

Hi mate.
Parts are hard to find up here in the north also
Put a list of parts you need in the Demand section.
Someone is bound to have what you need.
Cheers Mark.

Looks good to me :) Just don't weld it, drift it, scrap it. Even volvo's deserve to be sold on :P As for the 4inch blocks. We tried a 340 1.7 saloon with 4inch blocks on, put some 7x13 superlights and 195/45/13 tyres on, and the stud sticking out the bottom of the damper was rubbing along the ground as he took it up the road. So 3.5 is really the lowest you can go :)
