wow great progress on the car there mate!

Progressing very nicely over there as well. Funny how car projects in Finland always seem to gain a whole lot of speed when the winter comes.

Yes, same as your project. That is just right, it has to associate to the snowy and icy roads, or something :roll:

BTW, I cleaned Volvo 240`s rear axle, and start to make a rack what helps me when I weld new linkages to axle.

SK, how expensive are the Volvo 240 plate type LSD's over in your parts? Easy to find or as difficult as here (or do you just run one of the US spec locker diffs?)
We still need an LSD for the racing fridge and thought of modifying a 240 unit... If you could take a look at the spline of the 240 LSD axles it would be an enormous help (diameter and # of teeth)

Volvo parts are pretty easy to find, and mostly cheaper than AE86 parts.

Here is some prises:
new DANA -lsd 650€ / 600€ (mine is used and I buyed it many years ago so I don´t remember how much it cost)

Diff 5.38 330€ / 270€ (I bougt mine last year , cost 230€ and that is made to 1030-axle, 5.85 550€ made to 1031-axle

crossspins (without holes 207€ / 140€

plate set 80€


JK race and gripp just offers Grippers lock to 1030-axle at 1300€ (don´t have them home)

then Toyota:
5.71 -diff to AE86 550€


and yes,I will check those later...

How about stock 242 lsd's? any around? Our 360 has a 1031 style diff.

Is there any stock, I heard/read in Finland that all 240 lsds are extra equipments (and Dana produced those), same lsd fits in to 1030 and 1031 axle.

nice job with the welding. looks very clean
keep up the good work.

wish I had something to hang up my shell like that
would be much easier than crowling under the car to fix things
