Sadly, Its gotta go
Posted: 17 Apr 2006 05:41 am
Its been fun guys, but its time for the volvo to go now, I originally was going to keep the 360GLT for paddock work, but when the rego expires its not going to be re-registerable, only just passed last time. That and the MR2 is such an awesome car to drive, drives like a go kart, wont break traction, sounds like a V8 on the gas with the stock exhaust, and goes like one from 5000rpm all the way to 7500rpm, and looks like a ferrari to boot.
So while it's gonna be sad to the 360GLT go, it's gotta happen. Now, the engine is in top shape and has a 2" stainless exhaust on it, and a minor tweak on the intake, but is stock otherwise. The G/box on it is on its way out with a whining noise, but not as bad as the 1st gearbox when it let go, that said i've got a recon 4spd box with a whole 50k's on it and a spr 5-spd salvaged from my spares car when i had it.
The shell itself wont pass rego when due, as one headlight leaks, some rust, and seat adjust knobs are shattered enough to open up an unwary hand. Speaking of rego, my numberplates are fair game too, metallic blue "EVO 360", not damaged
Now, its got an aftermarket steering wheel and boss kit (autotechnica) which has replaceable colour inserts (red, blue, black... there is a carbon fiber and silver insert but gotta buy them separate).
The Racing hart wheels are some of the lightest wheels you can get, and worth around $3000 without tyres, wrapped with some Goodyear Eagle F1, 205/50-15, which have about 70-80% tread on em. You cant fit wider tyres on the front (there is about .25mm gap between tyre and shock absorber on front, yet doesn't rub). The wheels are in almost perfect condition, save one wheel having a mark i cant clean off, never guttered them. only reason these are getting sold is they wont fit the MR2 due to the different stud pattern. I'm not letting go of these for less than $1500
Also, i have some koni adjustable shocks on the rear, cant get them anymore in australia, couldn't find any for the front, but have a pair of new munroes for the front not yet fitted (stilll in the box.)
Last item i have is the fiberglass bucket seat (autotechnica A999 off memory), which has the volvo slide frame retrofitted to it, so will fit in the 360 GLT, and if the other 300's have the same mount points then will fit those too. the seat has provisions for a harness but never bothered with it.
I'd rather not ship o/s as i'm unfamiliar with how it works, but if someone wants to pay shipping on the shocks, steering wheel, or the rims to send o/s I dont see why it cant be done. Pics can be sent on request. If no-ones interested some of its going to the wreckers, or recyclers, other items i'm keeping till i find a decent price.
