Hoi Holland,
I'm also from the Netherlands. I have an 1982 Volvo 244.
I am interested in the fuel economy after your modifications. Are the all installed yet?
What did you do with the rain gutters? I'm thinking about cutting them of.
I'm also interested in your kammback design. (on a 240 sedan this will be different, but i think it can definitely be improved with a spoiler and/or airtabs.
i previously averaged about 7km/l. After my mods my average is 10,5km/l.
mods that i did early'r:
Electric fan
blocked the grill half
y camshaft> very good improvement
put in a b200e engine (took out the old b19a)
chanced my driving style to very low rev. shifting.
New mods:
Aerodynamic mirrors
get the weight down to 1230/1240 kg.
advanced the ignition timing. original at about 10 dg. btdc, now about 16 dg btdc.
tire pressure at 2,7 bar.
Still have to figure out my fuel consumption after the new mods.
I'm aiming at 12km/l, so i'm interested in how you are getting at 14km/l.
Greetings, Arjan.
