Well as some of you know i have a new drift toy.
ITS GOT MOT AND WORKS YAY Its a volvo 360 gl 2ltr ugly as you like but with a welded diff lowered around 30mm it will drift well.
Also comes with pair of bucket seats.
Plans are get some better wheels and chuck some stickersw on it for the comedy value.
Its £135 a year to insure full comp too.
Class, mate i love it. not ugly at all, it's a classic.
Talking of which is the insurance on a classic policy ???
Tis matey carol nash come with breajdown and i can drive abroad with it too.
good stuff mate.
get some cw stickers on it
Will do nextmeet also bought trampdrift stickers and i have some to go on like GUMBALL
Wooooooo!
Awesome!!! i want one! you always buy cars and get my mind running thinking i wanna play too!
You can have a go if you want matey at the nextmeet if your there
sound yeh deffo if i can make it. just been searching trader for one lol.
Yes, you can pick those up for pennies & they drift like crazy.
woo just found one for £200
woo...remember what clarkson did to his one on top gear....
woo just found one for £200
Bargain get it as they are doing £500 ish on driftworks standard.
Mine cost me my 2way diff and £250 which works out about about £600 or so.
But mines drift ready YAY
Im speechless
Stu you know you love it
i want. Sorry i know i always copy you but i have only had sensible car's since my s13 and it is possible to run one of these on a budget. Plus no turbo to go wrong.
Has a comedy element to it aswell. I said i would paint it yellow and sit outside my girlfriends work beeping my horn and drifting cos she said she would never get in it. Bonus!!!
Now if you needed a reason to buy one matey there it is
Get one cheap as chips weld the diff up chop the springs and go drifting it ones it blows up start again and its cheap to insure cant go wrong.
Well thats me insured just waiting on the docs and i'll tax the mother

If you wanna be different go and get a 2.0 DOHC Sierra
Weld the diff, or fit an LSD off an XR4x4. More power and torque than the volvo too
yeah sierra is a good idea but wont the insurance be more? I also have limited drive space to keep a car off the road if something breaks. Everyone knows sierra's can drift but i volvo would be much more of a suprise.
i'd say deffo a 1 off, but if wheels has anything to do with it will be a 2 off.
will suprise a few people. but the ford route would be better, more spares available from scrap yards as never see this around.
around 8-10 years ago a neighbour had one of these, lad was only 18 at the time, fitted a triumph quad exit exhaust sounded mint for a Volvo lol. rumour has it he fitted a V8.
would the gastley volvo 480 1.7 Turbo (i think) engine fit?
Bet that went well.
Cali the lock on fords is rubbish for drifting.
You need to mod them abit by putting a p100 rack on and other little bits.
There are more bits for fords though yes.
Well it drifts its harder than the 200 but it goes sidways and stays there just need to get the feel of the car as its been 13months since i last had a car sidways.
As its got no tubby need to be high up the revs and havnt got used to that yet.
POOR MANS AE86
Here you go Tony
woo...remember what clarkson did to his one on top gear....
u on about the £100 car challenge where hammond had a rover 216GTi and may had an audi 80?
if so clarkson used a volvo 760GLE in that episode,watched it the other day. Any other volvos RWD as i quite like volvos (id like a Vxx estate, or an 840 estate.im not fussy)
nice tony,do it proud
Only the older ones are RWD, all the new Vxx Sxx etc are FWD, as are all the 850s...
i was looking at a 340 (1.7l) of these a few months ago, always loke the idea of a trampdrift of to play and learn in!! my parents used to have 1 when i was a kid never went wrong!
Fingers crossed mine does the same.
Need to buy a downpipe as mines leaking might get a stanless one i have found if i cant find one cheaper.
Also chucked the 14" alloys on looks alot better (if thats possible)
Here you go Tony
BEAST!
Tis indeed
mate of mine said its a puller
Cars been stripped and put the 14's on.
Just need to put the harnneses on and sort the downpipe and its ready for the pod on the 13th of feb.
Bet that went well.

TBH be it a Ford or Volvo, your never gonna win the D1
I had an LSD's Sierra, and for playing round in it was great - never ran out of lock...
For competition however where excessive angles are needed a better lock is always going to be handy, but on a fun mass around car...
Yer stu thats all it is not bothered about bending it.
Needs more power though.
But it will do while i save for a ps.
u going drifting at pod or dragging? does the pod have a drift bit?
i want a trampdrift cheap sierra,just need cash
Yer scoop off the pod on the 13th of feb.
They have a dwyb day on a different location.
If it was for dragging it would take all week to get up the strip
YAY I HAVE BROKEN IT ALREADY
Wasnt even doing anything and i lost all drive and can put the car in and out of gear without the clutch while the engines running but there is no drive to the back wheels think its the clutch maybe the box.
Got your text today matey
If it goes in to the right place on the selector then its the box / diff - is the prop spinning when its in gear?
bloody ell everything breaks on you dunnit
bloody hell, is that record ?????
everything i touch breaks
and its got to be some sort of record.
Stu having a look today matey so i will know later
I think you need to save a bit longer and buy a car new with warranty lol. All the dealership are bound to love you he he. I think you are totally mad. Also think you should dress up as the stig that way no one will recognise you.
going to get a pipe and flat cap n get a pick of me drifting
holy shit, my first car was a 360gls, taught me a lot about rear wheel drive (scared me shitless a few times to) from what i remember inside it had a steering wheel although i do not think that it was connected to anything. I went on to a sierra xr4x4 and the volvo was used (purely in the interests of science of course) in a 'how much damage can you do to a fiat panda in a side on crash test' and at 50 miles per hour both me and my mate came to the conclusion that both cars were shagged. had to be done, science and all that. on a plus the volvo still started, for anyone who cares the panda folded
Tony doent need all the machinary
Tony doent need all the machinary
All i need is a spanner
No stu it was a left as i was changing gear when it broke
clarkson: volvo tree, tree volvo, u get the idea lol
(sierra instead)or even better, the old 2.3 diesel with the 2 ltr dohc head on it and a garret t4 turbo, happy days lol
regards to renault 1.7.
yesi t woul fit but then so does the old 2.5 renault 25 and 21 turbo lump
I am not responsible for anyones death tho lol
all the engines are renault get a turbo off the gle/s model then shit your pants for england my boy(how u think renault get ncap 5 star scores, volvo is 40 pc renault) and the clarkson thing was in about 86 when he got fed up and tested the molictular structure of a tree, not the one with may and hammond (i know the one u mean)and yes i am showing my age!!
So whats the diagnosis Tony? Box? Diff?
diagnosis is its FUBAR'd!
So whats the diagnosis Tony? Box? Diff?
WELL SIT DOWN AND I WILL TELL YOU
Volvo garage just told me its deffo the clucth and its a small job (cough)
To change the clutch i need to
1. take rear axle off.
2. rear suspension
3. box off
4. remove torque shaft thing off
5. clutch off
Nice little job GUTTED looks like the 13th ou of the question.
And i only have 1 and a half days off before the drift day.
Why oh why do i get these cars Chris had no problems with it what so ever GIT.
If it goes in to gear with the motor running, it must have let go big time
Sounds like a big job to fix it though matey - should have got a Sierra
So whats the diagnosis Tony? Box? Diff?
Well it could be the torque shaft now as mate came rnd and says there is fook all up with the clutch and Chris spoke to his mate who is a bit on the good side with the spanners and used to work on these things awhile back and says the same as they are only alloy and used to get chewed up all the sime.
The only problem is i cant find one anywere.
Local volvo peps cant get em and no breakers yards have them.
Any ideas
not to sure as yet but took the backplate off the diff to find only 1 wheel turns at anytim if you spin them while in gear.
Also couple of teeth have gone from each side so could poss be halfshafts Could this be the problem???
pics arnt great.
Also got some comedy stickers on the car too.
i'm sure i saw a super charged one on dw? Buy that for parts? Only going for 300quid!
Yer seen that matey wanted the wheels just havnt got the funds or anyway of getting it home.
If there are teeth missing from inside the diff, id say thats where the problem is
Maybe whoever welded it up didnt do a decent job, its all gone tits up and destroyed the diff....
looks funky. why not spray it matt black
Dont want to spend to much money on it matey.
Plus need a new diff pics to follow.
Well got some free time to have a proper look at the problem and found all is in the diff
THINK ITS BROKEN LOL
Looks like the welds have cought in the diff and mashed it.
Anybody got/know were there is one.
Well sorted myself a diff out going to pick it up tuesday so fingers crossed the car will be going again sunday.
Also bought some paint for the wheels going for a mad drifty look.
Off to get my diff today YAY also put some more comedy stickers on the car (even seen a ovlov in the gumball
)
Need this on the road soon as i am getting fedup already and looking at selling
Diffs off now i am off to derby to pick the new one up.
Bloody cars
Got my diff and had it welded
Just need to chuck it on now will prob be sunday.
Heh nice on matey!
Heh nice on matey!
Lets just hope this one lasts.
If it dosnt break before hand matey you can have a go at the meet.
Double Woowoo!
Double Woowoo!
Dont get to excited it may break before matey
doubt it, that diff looks like it came from a tank
Good stuff mate.
If I'm down there on Sunday, I'll give you a hand
Good job I never try and give the impression mine is a drift car then
Looking Good Tony, at last it should be back on the road
That sticker on the windscreen though...
Thats, erm, very Jap drift, on UK roads, in a Swedish car.... I hope if you keeping the sticker you at least get some cellotape and pull the corner of your eyes back towards your ears

A fellow modder
Wow, tony, your not alone, either that or your starting a trend
Wow, tony, your not alone, either that or your starting a trend
Lol yeah
i think everyone should jump on the band wagon. I really really like the look of these when they are fitted with the minilite wheel's. Just look on dw at how nice they are. Imagine the rock full off these classic's . Far better than a load of crap 1litre shitter's with some free sticker's off a magazine put on the side, or a 5inch back box with a 1inch exhaust .
Whelan, come on mate, you know as well as i do they look pants, but damb i bet their fun to drive, tonys is making me really jealous
just wrote a big essay but it got deleted (stupid phone) but i do really like these. Just look on dw at some of them minter's. I'd link a picture to the one i really like but i'm on my phone and cant.
well it was fun while it lasted i just cant get myself away from a s13 so the car will more than likly be gone by sunday.
There is a chance sombody on here could have it CHEAPISH if they want.
I will have a s13 by the middle of nextmotnh maybe sooner.
will need stuff doing to it but the shell is rust free and a 18month plan already drawn up. (if all goes to plan which they never do
)
I have worked out it will cost 4.5k to import the car i want min and 3k to build one as i have alot of the psfront end already.
As i have now got rid of the volvo got some funny pics before i got rid and a daft video.
(vids in a verysmall yard in work) in the dark
sorry the pics are poor
Thought you said they would be darft
Hahaha Tony you mad head
Shame i had to do the vid by myself could of been so much better.
Cars gone now
200 comming soon
Awwwww sorry to see the old dog go! But here's to the forthcoming 200... ive said it before and I will say it again, you're a 200 sorta guy haha!!
