My alternator is down there, I don't know if it wil have enough space. Does anyone have experience with that?
Thank goodness there are only four wheels!
Was just sitting here thinking old Saturns might make a good DIY EV platform, and looking at later IONs. I'd love to find a fun project like this. It looks like someone put some pretty serious thought and work in to it, and learned a lot. Sad to see it end up in the yard. Thanks for making a vid of it!

I have 87 camry wagon 5-speed (4cyl) I need some parts. where is it?
Nice pls do more of these
I'm having a very stressful day, so being a 240 fan this calmed me down perfectly. Thanks for this one. You should make more videos with that car, even the simple driving around the woods or whatever. I'd watch it.
Those wheels are super fresh
Thank you! I have a couple of prior videos about pulling them from a junkyard, and then getting them refinished by a local shop.
Awesome, great Video tysm
We had one of the last 940 2,3L turbo Vagons out of Volvo assembly line. I was just a little kid back then, now im 38 years old. It went to the most famous Volvo tuning shop in Finland called Autokorjaamo Mini. Looked totally normal from outside. Dark blue and 3 spoke 15`` Fondmetal rims. We had it for years and it never broke down. They had to turn it down a lot. First drive clutch was slipping a lot and cardan shaft was shaking really badly. They prolly put forged internals in to engine. External waste gate with screamer pipe was the only hint people could hear when it was on road. Local Bmw 325 and Mercedes boys got prolly very upset because that car. Good days back then. After nineteens everything went to shit in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing! I love hearing people’s stories about these old redblock cars. Not sure if you’ve seen my videos on this topic yet, but I bought a set of Fondmetal wheels from the junkyard last year, and then had them refinished by a local shop.
Great vid thank you keep up the good work dr redblock
Can I buy these off you?
Sorry, they are not for sale. I really love them!
@@Vehicularious understandable, have a nice day! ✌️
Is it a 2.0 or 2.3?
This was a 2.3 engine
Hi Joe and Elisabet! Thank you from Russia!
So beautiful
My SL-1 is still the best car so far. And I've had more than my share. The only imperfection is that it is not an SW 1
This is beautiful
Sounds lovely.
No kidding! I’m good at hand sewing so might as well try to acquire some new elastic and make the attempt. My seats are leather and pockets are quite droopy (actually I think the rear side of 7/9 leather seats are vinyl) Thanks for your channel!
do you need any sort of tune when you change the boost presure?
This car is the result of Chrysler O.D.ing on what became a hardcore addiction to the rebranding and rebadging of cars in the k-car era to create "new" models-a dependence which ultimately contributed to the company flat-lining-only being allowed survive by being "cared-for" by Fiat-a sad fate for a once proud company.
Nice install! Gonna use the same radio and bezel setup you did.
Very helpful! Thanks for making
How much do the headlights usually go for? :)
I know that quad headlights usually sell for about $600-$800 in international markets, if they are clean and have new marker lights and corner lights. I’ve never tried to sell a set of these newer style 940/960 lights with the integrated fog light setup. Maybe a few hundred USD?
Those headlights would sell for almost 1000$ here in sweden lol!
I believe this set I refurbished (new parking lamps and corner lamps) and sold them on eBay to a buyer in Sweden!
@@Vehicularious cool. Just a few years ago (10ish) a set of American lights would go for like 200$ here but times have certainly changed. Last summer my friend gave about 900$ for a set, for a 745 which he bought for 50$😂
Thank's a lot my friend!
the boost meter is in bar not psi, 1 bar of bost is close to 14.5 psi. on stock injectors you should never run more the 0.6 bar
did you watch the same video i did he had a aftermarket boost gauge that reads psi
Tengo uno del año 1988 y anda muy bien
I would not use power tools with motors that may spark around fuel ;(.
thankyou
The wheels are sweet!
I had the digital dash in my 83 280zx, the three center gauge pods on it were still analog oil temp, voltmeter and a clock that never worked lol. I miss my bitchin betty tho. I'm in a 1986 300zx now, almost fully converted to 87-89 body minus tail lights cuz I like the 84-86 tails more than the wannabe trans-am kouki tails. I've got an 84 zx-t manual trans going in soon too, Borg Warner T5, and all the 85 turbo parts with 86 turbo ecu and sensors. I wanted to keep a full stock interior but rats had better plans so it's a gutted street car waiting for a partial roll cage :)
I will admit that my 72 240z did make me smile more. But that was until the L24 took a dump. I had 3-Y header, twice pipes and dual side draft carbs and it was awesome.
I am a college student in the DC area and drive a base 2008. This is like a dream car to me, so perfect for the city
If you decide to get one, please do 2006 or older, because from 2007 on the R56 Minis got BMW N14/N16 etc engines which love to break in every aspect
That 300zx in that exact condition still looks better than brand new Nissans, probably still more reliable too.😂
I have a modified Datsun 1984 200sx. The rear suspension I have in it is from a Z31 turbo (finned R200 LSD) The 200sx had the front components largely 280 ZX and rear components from the Z31. The 200sx was a blend of 280 zx and 300zx parts. Mine was a 1.8 turbo but it now has a modified ford 302 I have owned a 200sx since 1994 and still have it today 200sx has bitchin betty and pop up headlights
Great video. The Z31 is super slept on.
Bro, awesome video. I think my84 mk2 Supra has the first production amp subwoofer. Lots of cool tech for the time, in those cars from Japan
Thank you for the kind words!!
1980 Chrysler Cordoba has a optional factory amplifier for the rear 6x9 speakers. has a button marked rear amp. @@Vehicularious
It's like the BMW 850 coupe. Great highway luxury with the ability to be very quick.
Great comparison!! I wish I had thought of that one when I was making the video.
@@Vehicularious cheers. Question is what was the true successor of the 240Z in America? Perhaps the 240sx?
@@jarlnieminen4307 I think the 240sx was probably the closest thing to the 240Z that we received in America. The engine was a bit of a letdown, but it was torquey for a 4-cylinder. If our 240sx had come with an SR20DET, like similar models received in Japan, I think it would have been an awesome spiritual successor to the 240Z! The main drawback to the 240sx is that it wasn’t a flagship car for Nissan, but you can see from the desirability 30 years later that it was arguably a better enthusiast car than the Z31 300ZX.
@Vehicularious definitely a product of that point in time. Flagships became technology rich rather than purely performance focused. Out of the Japanese companies only Mazda seemed to avoid this by having both the Rx7 and the Cosmo eunos.
Will my 89 Fox body had electronic adjustable suspension and it worked perfect
very good work
I used to watch those Mitsubishi/Dodge Stealth commercials where they did 4 wheel burnouts in an airplane hangar & thought I would really like to have one of them. Mind you I'm an American muscle car guy who built my first hotrod from a '65 2 door hardtop Chevy Nova, then both a '65 & '63 Vette, on to the fastest '82 Silverado anyone ever saw on the street.
I had a 740 but i sold it a while ago. I sold it because i didnt have time to fix it. Many problems, spent the whole winter fixing it just for more problems after a while. Greetings from Sweden
It’s amazing how many little problems accumulate on older cars. I like driving a car where everything works, whenever possible. But whenever I look at a used car for sale, I’m routinely seeing 5-10 things that are either cosmetically damaged or non-functional. Old Volvos may be easy to work on, but fixing broken things is still time consuming!
Exactly@@Vehicularious
A very rust susceptible area on these 740 wagons is where the rear frame rail inserts are spot welded into the unibody. Water gets between the insert and the adjacent unibody surfaces and rust forms. I just cut a good amount or rust out on mine and welded in new metal. Highly recommend removing the rubber plugs that are on top of the rear frame rails, accessible in the rear corner storage compartments, and spraying inside with a heavy dose of Fluid Film.
Love it! I myself own an '87 ST but the liftback instead of a coupe, finished in gray colour. Had this car for 7 years now, and i absolutely love it even though it spends most of it's life in storage as it's waiting for me to get a driving license. Mine is an European spec ST originally from Germany, so it's equipped with the shittiest engine available in these, the 4A-C with the carburetor. Doesn't make a lot of power but it's pretty zippy for what it is, and it's a manual! Sucks this one is automatic, because the 5-speed makes such a good sound when shifting, almost like a gated shifter in supercars of 80s / 90s. Shifting through the gears is also visible in the engine bay if you look there while someone's shifting. Absolutely great car for what it is. The one in the video is absolutely toast, and destined for the crusher, but i hope someones parts it out and sells the parts, as they are getting very hard to come by. Good thing is these cars are absolutely indestructible so repairs are not all that common. Fun fact: this one is a pre-facelift due to the interior door panel handle having a square dummy plug instead of a round one, as well as the Toyota lettering on the front grill being offset to the right.
Very helpful. Thanks. I'll be doing the same thing this weekend.
Just like the Griswolds, lol
They didn’t drive a Volvo wagon. Not just like the griswalds
Man, thanks God I found your video. I've got 960 '92 and it is the same, the only difference I see is the carpet on a lover side of the door. But mechanically they are the same. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words!! I had a hard time finding the video I needed when I started working on old Volvos, so I made this video to try and help anyone complete the door panel removal without breaking things. I am glad it was useful to you!
Hey..there is NOTHING wrong with putting a microwave tv dinner on a plate....just sayin
When I changed my thermostat I forgot to put in a new gasket. Realized this after 6 months of driving it. Still not leaking, I have no clue how it is not leaking. Also good to see someone doing PCV maintenance. It's almost as if it is the component that God forgot. No one ever looks at it and most do not even know what it does. Then they wonder why their car is pushing out through all the seals and gaskets.
I did this recently in my 940 but a little differently. This sagging is highly irritating but worse for me is when the belts that can be tightened inside the chairs to give extra support to your lower back are broken (which in time always happens, the tiny stamped brackets that connects the belt to the knob-tightener simply snap). To get to that problem you have to cut a horizontal slit in the fabric inside the pouch somewhere under the opening, now you can work inside the chair with your hands. Instead of that metal bracket I connects the belt with two heavy tiewraps, above and under. You need a visual image in your head of the situation because you won't be able to see what you're doing and work in the blind. Studying pictures of the mechanism or take apart a junked seat will help to understand. For me this solved an issue that really bugged me for quite some time. While at it I replaced the (formerly) elactic band with someting much heavier, elastic cord from a yacht shop, the type they use to fasten deck canvasses. Inside the seat left and right your hands will find small metal hooks you can attach the end of the cord to, it's a fiddly job for a guy with big hands like me but I managed to solve two annoying problems in one session.
