Hello guys, Ive just bought a mint 3 door 340dl in brilliant red and need advice on the follow stuff, Sports suspion, alloys wheels, spoilers and help on tunning the engine up a bit, any advice would be grate as i have no idea were to look? cheers

welcome to the forum , alloy wheels can be sourced from various places , the stud pattern or pcd of 4x100 is quite popular , you can use 300 or 400 series volvo alloys, most vauxhall four stud ,some rover and some bmw E30 series, personally I would not go bigger than 15 inch rims. suspension is a bit more difficult , best to read the posts in the technical section , loweered and uprated springs for the front are available as are lowering blocks for the rear leaf springs , spoilers are very much a matter of personal taste but the standard hatch spoiler either stock or colour coded do's suit the car, good luck with the project

Look at genuine Volvo stuff first there is so much stuff out there if you look!!!!
Cheers Adam

Nice Mr Redline has lots of lovely alloys for sale. I'm surprised he didn't mention them .

oh , did I forget to mention I have a couple of sets of alloys for sale if any one is interested LOL

Oooh, they're smashing, aren't they?

there seems to be something missing from my front wing , cant think what it could be , Oh sorry Gavin thats your car LOL

Well, Mick. If you want to send me a jpeg I'll see what I can do. But then again, I don't know if the people who host my webspace employ taste police?!?

OUCH !!!

very cool, how much you wanting for them? are the tyres any good and does anyone hear know where to get lowering blocks or springs or whole damper sets from? i aint got a whole load of cash but it needs to be lowered, alot.

Hi Robbie, all eight for £60.00 (Iwould say six out of eight tyres are legal),or the four with the best tyres (two nearly new )for £40.00 only thing is you gotta collect them from Milton Keynes see my post (s)in the offers section for pics of treads , Dai (classic swede) dos the springs and Ali did have a set of lowering blocks for sale

yea that is a bit far, umm, got to think about it, i might be driving up to croydon next week, if i do it aint that far from milton k. so if you still got them in a week or 2 and i drive up to croydon then i'll take them off your hands. cheers rob

i'm based in brighton (so round the corner) and have a full set (5 of) of rare 13" alloys (look much nicer than redlines) you can have for £40 if you want

what the tryes like?

4 are fair (i'd say at least a year left in em) ones worn on one side, but that can be used as a spare. you can get your current tyres moved over if you want.
