Hopefully I won’t regret doing this, but it’s time to let go of my 1987 Volvo 240 DL station wagon. She runs great, rides awesome, and has always been reliable. Having a 940 B230FT engine swap in conjunction with a 5.0 Mustang T5 transmission and a G80 posi, I’ve had much fun with her throughout my ownership. The white wagon is a daily driver that is modified with both reliability and practicability in mind. Her differential is re-geared to 3.73 ratio for maximum fuel economy. There are many goodies including a 15G turbo, 242GT intercooler, IPD turbo cam, LH2.2 from an ’87 740 with Bosch EZK ECU, 3” turbo-back exhaust, a Hurst Fox body Mustang short flow shifter, 6-puck ceramic spring disk clutch with lightened flywheel, IPD 25mm sway bars front and back, IPD lowering springs, Bilstein struts, polyurethane trailing arm bushings, R-Sport poly motor mounts, IPD upper and lower braces, and firewall braces. This sexy beast is rolling on a set of 16” Hydra with fairly new tires. She also got nice sound that is powered by a Sony deck with Bluetooth capability, a Pioneer amplifier, a Rockford 10” sub-woofer, and upgraded speakers and tweeters.

See below for a comprehensive list of all upgrades, as well as extras that will be included with the sale. The white wagon holds a clean California title in my name and is free of accident history. Body is clean and without noticeable blemishes. No body repair work has ever been performed anywhere on the vehicle. Glossy original paint on all body panels are without oxidation. Being a California car all her life, entire undercarriage is absolutely rust free. There are no fluid leaks of any kind and there is no oil-consumption issue. Interior is clean and upholstery is in exceptional shape, although there is a rip on left side of the driver's seat bolster and two minor cracks on middle of the dashboard. Registration has been renewed recently and valid thru August 2015 (photo shows old tag but new one is on its way).

Odometer currently shows 49,739 miles; although true mileage is unknown as the hundred-thousandths gear is stuck. All other digits on the odometer are turning accurately as it should however. Speedometer is not operational since the G80 posi/locker is installed; I'm quite certain this is caused by incompatibility with the stock speed sensor. Freon in A/C is drained as the previous owner performing the engine swap, so a re-charge should do if you want cold air. With that said, this turbocharged station wagon is overall presentable and mechanically solid! She has just made it through smog inspection without any issues. A smog certificate will be provided for the buyer.

Writing this ad not only making it hard for me, but also reminds me of how much money I’ve spent to get it to where it’s at. I purchased the white wagon off of a local guy here in the SF Bay Area back in ’13, and planned to keep her for a long time. Previous owner has put a lot of love and hard work into this car, and the quality of workmanship shows! Water pump, timing belt, thermostat, tensioner, brake pads, and rotors are all replaced within the last 25k miles. I’ve been keeping up with maintenance and have put in some of the aforementioned upgrades. However, my current living situation involves a very uptight HOA; which has makes it difficult to keep all my cars as well as wrenching on them. So I think it’s best to send her off to a good home of a fellow enthusiast who can enjoy and appreciate for all of her awesomeness!

Volvo developing new three-cylinder engine family

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Pop the hood on a Volvo of recent vintage and you'll find four-, five-, six- and even eight-cylinder engines. But the Swedish automaker is downsizing its engines over the coming years. The new XC90, set to be revealed later this week, will use a new family of four-cylinder engines (like the one pictured above). But that's not even the end of it as emerging reports speak of a new three-cylinder engine family in the works.
The new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine will, according to reports, help Volvo further cut its carbon emissions in line with constricting regulations in markets like Europe and Australia. There won't be quite as many versions as the four-cylinder range, which will include gasoline and diesel versions in varying states of tune, but the three-pot motor is tipped to be employed in vehicles as large as the S60 and its stablemates. Larger than that, however, and the three-cylinder engine apparently just doesn't have the necessary torque.
Expect the new three-cylinder engine to be introduced sometime later this decade, after the four-cylinder's introduction in 2016. The three-cylinder engine is also set to form the building block of an even more efficient hybrid propulsion system in the future, enabling this new engine family to stay relevant through 2025.

The Swedes Bend Sixes And Fives Into Fours
With government agency pressures mounting, the auto industry's latest engine and powertrain trends invariably include the cobbling of heretofore eight-cylinder models into charged (either turbo- or super-) six-cylinder models, six-cylinders into charged four-cylinders and so on. And then there's the mating of these downsized engines to fuel-saving automatic transmissions with ratio counts previously reserved for bicycles and semi trucks. Volvo can at last follow suit with the best of Germany and Japan thanks in great part to an $11-billion multi-year investment by its Chinese owners, Geely.
After we survived the recent Frankfurt Motor Show marathon of news and reveals (chief among said bits being the stunning Volvo Concept Coupe), we were escorted by the Swedish automaker to the far less frenetic air of southern France to explore the most significant step yet in the company's new life. Volvo's entire movement of new tech is referred to as Drive-E, and it includes these all-new four-cylinder engines we just tested, a new modular architecture called Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that will first be found under the next-generation XC90, along with a host of other onboard advancements. Think of it as a Scandinavia's version of Mazda Skyactiv, a total-systems approach to developing more efficient yet more sporting new models.

Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.
