Thanks!
In 2 weeks of driving (maybe 500 km?) the 33cl bottle got about 1/4th filled with beer-colored liquid with a few drops of oil in it. Mostly looked like condensed water to me (smelled a bit like fuel+oil). I cant see any vapor in the clear hose when the engine is running, the hose is semi-see-through (the hose is faded so it almost looks like there is always smoke in there hehe). I was wondering if it was a lot of blowby stuff or not.
just like your gearbox/downpipe support bracket < a thing of beauty!
your planning on reaching 8000+rpm?
benefit is less rotational mass. 3 beltrows, good buy, i need to remeber that...just like your gearbox/downpipe support bracket < a thing of beauty!
how is your car holding up? is it reliable?
This... i need to get around fixing mine for 3" its not suported anymore.
Anymore updates on the car?
What swaybars do you have on it? Sounds sort of similar to having too large of a rear bar and too much roll up front, just like all 240s...Today I did a few tests where traffic allowed (=no traffic) and noticed that it suffers a bit from the wagon pendulum effect (front end stays planted but the back tries to come around slightly after steering input), especially when (engine) braking. Maybe i need to adjust the shocks in the back? and drag less crap around in the trunk

Cool. Maybe next will be a set of Ben's roll correction spacers then. Once they're available, anyway. I can't wait to see what they do for my car.25mm front (with spherical bearing endlinks) 22 mm rear. Good to get feedback from you, you have tried+tested+autoXed much more than I have

Another thing that helps give the feeling you describe is the stance of the car, more rake increases that feeling of the rear wanting to swap places with the front under deceleration. Some of it is normal for the car want to tighten in, but if it's really feeling like it wants to loop around, stiffer front, softer rear, and/or less roll in front, and/or lowering the rear/raising the front will help.
Engine 'shock' of a Volvo 440, fixed to to the intake manifold and the Joshifab strut-firewall brace. We'll see how it holds up. After a short test drive it seems like it reduced the movement of the engine although the shock might be a bit weak. No interior noises though, except for some driveline vibrations on engine braking low speed, but I need to improve the transmission mount first since I think that is the cause of that issue.
Hey hey, slick looking mount there.
Now that you mention the transmission mount thing, i do remeber that long ago when i installed a Getrag in my 240 Turbo, i used two mounts at both sides of the transmission instead of just one at the back like the standard Volvo solution, and that did seem to reduce engine movement.
How was the 'Ring this year, did you go under 10?
Plan: media blast, powdercoat in nice color, save up for good tires.
