man that **** looks super clean very nice

 

Nice, very nice. Looks like its off the showroom floor! You have different wheels on left and right side?

 

Beautiful looking wagon. Clean as heck too! That's exactly what I need

 

Winter shots

 

Man, I lust over this wagon!

 

I just saw the thread..

Very nice ride!

 

That black and white pic is now my background on my laptop

 

Are those Strut Mount Braces the ones from IPD???

How do you like them? Are they as good as the ones that connect the 2 towers together?

oh and yeah.... That is one NICE 240.... Better then Showroom!!!

 

Those strut to firewall braces are a good upgrade.
they aren't "better" then the strut brace. they both do different things.
these help alot with braking.

 

Great looking rig, beautiful! More old Volvos should look like this! Sweden?

 

Well, the strutbraces do a great job for stability under braking. It also tightens up steering response and make for a more "modern" drive.
The struts are stock, but not on this car.
They came as standard on the turbo models.

As for handling I changed the front torsion bar, front/rear springs and shocks, all bushings and strut tower bearings. All at once, it kinda makes it hard to be to specific about what upgrade provided what change.
But, the 205/16/55 sure makes a difference to.

Thanks for the info.

Back in my Honda CRX days in the 90's (not ricey trust me)
I wondered across some cheapo 50 dollar eBay strut braces. I was shocked how much help they really were. Then you would see the occasional diagonal ones to the firewall, but without stock mounting points on the firewall on that car it wasn't really popular.

Good to know that they both do different / but some what similar things... (sad to say they don't make the cheapo 50 Dollar tower to tower brace for the 240s)

 

went for a drive ended up with more shots, summer`s here!

 

Once again, Very clean!

you thinking about droping the front .5"-1.0"? That would set it off man.

 

LOVE those rims. That is sharp, man. I would never get mine so pristine, I would be too afraid to drive it!!

Seriously though, where are the rims from?

 

Cheers! The wheels are Mim Juventus 16" X 8" ET20

 

I will say this wagonis one of my favorite ones out of the many wagons out there. Keep it clean!

 

 

damn dude...

that thing is still freakin clean. nice work. I still say you should cut a coil, maybe 1.5, off the front and rear. it would have an amazing stance.
