it amazes me that anyone would seek to modify these cars thinking they will ever be anything other than they were conceived, designed and built to be.

a safe, solid albeit dowdy family car. running a circuit around lime rock or watkins glen it was never meant to do so why waste money pretending tweaking this or that will ever honestly transform this quintessential family boat.

imo spend your money on parts and stuff which keep your ride in the style it was accustomed to be.

whenever i look at the ipd site all i see is bling for volvo's at high prices.

bling and a 240 just don't go together.

keep your machine up to high standard and it will never let you down. a lotus elan or europa it was never meant to be.

no doubt i'll get some flames for speaking heresy.
