Project Exhausting

I reached the point where there was more exhaust tape holding it together than actual steel. So I guess it's time 😆

Finally got my 240 up on the lift and discovered a couple fun things, 1 the rear muffler is held on by what seems to be chicken wire tape and hose clamps, and 2 the shocks mostly the front passenger side are very much dead/on their way out.

Help Speaker issue

7 Upvotes

I just installed these Kicker 46CSC54 speakers in my 1993 245 using the BNE mounts, and I’ve been having issues with the sound. The highs and mids sound fine, but there’s almost no bass even with it cranked all the way up on my stereo (JVC KD-SX38MBT). I’m pretty sure I wired them correctly (yellow-grey as positive and grey as negative) so what else could be causing this?

Help Quick question

Do you guys know what is the top part and the bottom part? I think it's how I hold it in the picture but if I install it this way I can't turn the H<->S knob... would it be wrong to install it upside down (the brass part at the bottom)?

Help 1990 Volvo hood won't fully latch

5 Upvotes

1990 Volvo hood won't fully latch, the release handle has a lot of play, I believe it has something to do with the lock plate spring, I'd rather fix the part I already have than get a new one. On the highway looks like its about to fly open. It will latch but you can pull it up till the hook on the latch gets caught.

Picture Fuel Injector Seals

3 Upvotes

Hello folks, I am going to be replacing the fuel injector seals on my 93 wagon. I’m certain they are the OG seals because I notice a gas smell after parking and I know for sure there are no fuel leaks on the rail or at the engine bay because I’ve thoroughly searched with the motor running and I’ve determined there is no leak. The gas smell is most present after parked.

I’ve had some stalling issues where the motor will randomly cut off at a stop light and this has also happened while driving in my city. I am also going to clean the IAC this weekend and throttle body when my gasket comes in the mail.

Is there anything I need to know or be mindful of when pulling the fuel rail off? I also have a set of orange 850 injectors I would like to install but they will need to be cleaned. They’re not terrible dirty, would anyone have advice on soaking them or what would be best to make sure they’re clear? Haha lastly, would it be worth it at all to switch them?

No mods have been done and the motor is straight up stock

Hope the volvos are running well today!

Other Roof rack lighting? Anyone done it?

I have a Thule Canyon rack with an extension on my wagon. I see lots of people with Subies and trucks adding LED light bars, off road lights, position lights, etc. Anyone add a LED lightbar to a 240 roof rack and have pics?
