Picked up in melbourne for $800
this 1990 240 GL comes complete with full volvo service history since new
98,000 miles on the ODO

normal b230f w M47

Pics when I got it

with the 3.31 rear end combined with the M cam its an amazing highway cruiser and averaged 31mpg on the way home

mods so far
replaced door speakers with some nice 5.25" clarions
upgraded front sway bar to 27mm

got these seats for it

picked up a 90+ to go with the 15g/13c I already have sitting around
bought some 65lb injectors

I have a 531 sitting on the bench waiting for an excuse to go onto it

MS1v3 still needs to be ordered

overall goals are
200whp DD that gets 27MPG+ on the highway

Sorry about the lack of quality.

Why does that pic remind me of my kid's first day of school?

Nice car... and I say that because I know you'll be getting rid of those cheesy hubcaps in short order.

Have you put relays on to not burn out the headlight switch? Or don't need it on HID's?

the HID's have thier own relays
now pull exactly .1amps through the stock wiring for the headlights ;-)

That's what I was worried about with going to higher draw globes, but the HID's sound like a better option still.

Be careful with low beam glare for oncoming traffic with HIDs, the cutoff is pretty bad from what I've seen.

smith_t240 · Jul 21, 2010

I like the 240. New pics. Those old hubcaps are horrid.
