valdemaras volvo 360

[valdemaras]

i have one doubt about my wheels, won`t i have any problems with the wheel size, the rims are R15 and tyres - 195/55 , won`t the tyres scrub my arches?

[volvodspec]

what's the ET on those ATS rims? usually these are 35 or 20 for the 15"wheels

the 195/55 won't rub but; if you change the tires put 195/50 on them; these have exactly the same outer diameter as the original tyres so the speedo stays the same

[valdemaras]

the ET seems to be 35, if they were 20 i think then the tyres would lean out a lot more, but to be 100% correct o chek that out

[volvodspec]

i'd worry more for a et higher than 35; the free space between tire and front strut gets really tight then...

if you're shocks/springs are in o.k. conditions they won't rub even if they are ET20

[valdemaras]

on those stock wheels of mine volvo are written ET40 and no problems with 185 tyres.
Oh well when the april 1st comes everything will come clear

[valdemaras]

and one more question:
i find out that sideskirts fits from peugeot 205, but if there diference between 2 door and 4 door, and maybe the sideskirts fits from some other cars, couse it is very dificult to find 205 gti parts in Lithuania?

thaks mate, it`s kind a fun car to drive, but i began to have some troubles and don`t even know how to describe them correctly in english
but i`ll try:
al the mistery begans when the engine worms up, and when driving calm, lets say when driving in town about 55-60 km/h in 4th gear, and almost not pushing the gas pedal the rpm is about 2k the car began (i don`t know how exactly describe it) it begans to woble or to shake backwards and forwards, the feeling is like someone is sitting in back and and moving driver seat or something like that. and everything stops when i push the gas pedal a bit or put the clutch in, and everything is fine when engine is cold or when its warms when driving in lower gear and rpm is higher.
I hope yuol get the idea about the problem

[wouter76]

If i understand your explanation of the problem correctly, than this a quite common problem with the 360 (seen some topics about this issue), i hope you can solve this problem with help from the more experienced/technical people on this forum.

putted cone air filter (a few years ago friend gave it to me, and just a few weeks ago i remembered i have it ) so it was a hell cheaper then to try to find and original filter here in Lithuania

and maded some air intake for it

i should say i am very pleased with the price of parts for my volvo
recently i bought me a new tie rod end and it cost less than 9 euros, and universal joint (i think this is its english name ) cost 19 euros. i`m glad \
and now i bougt wheel bearings for front wheel, and thei came for 7 euros, with some discount ofcourse
so i could say that the maitenanse is kind a cheap thing for thees cars in lithuania

Cheap = cool.

[valdemaras]

Cheap = cool.

yea, when i bought my 360 i thought it would be tough and expensive to get parts, but now i see it`s almost cheaper than VW or audi, which parts are cheap too and many people believe that german cars is a cheap way to drive here, but now i can say that my volvo is cheaper than some german engineering products as well as volvo don`t brake so much as some VW
