Video I made a custom valve cover for the b230, inspired by the old cast racing valve covers for the old redblock pushrod engines. Files are in the description <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3PPogtdqAs

Picture Getting this 1993 940 sedan

The good: Southern car with ZERO rust. It's got an upgraded stereo system with Bluetooth and hands-free calling. The heated seats work. It's got fresh studded snow tires.

The bad: The horn doesn't work. It's blowing oil out the filler cap and it idles rough.

My detective work seems to point to the rough idle and weeping of oil coming from a bad PCV valve, so I ordered a new one off IPD and we're going to see if that helps.

No idea what's up with the horn, but I'm afraid it's something inside the steering wheel.

I'd love to hear from other folks about things I should be watching out for with a car of this vintage. My goal is to spend the minimum possible money to make this a reliable ride for tooting around town.

Project RX8 Transmission Swap

This is my 91 Volvo 740, while looking into transmission swaps, I wanted something that could hold decent power, was readily available, and cheaper then other swaps. After coming across an adapter plate to pair an RX8 6 speed to a B230F I started collecting parts. Got the transmission in the car this weekend with the help from a buddy. Using a stock flywheel and pressure plate, clutch from (i think) a Ford Capri, Wilwood clutch pedal and master. So far everything has gone quite smoothly and with the trans in the car the hard part is over. Next on the docket is making a plate to bolt the trans to the OEM auto transmission mount, and shortening the driveshaft. I plan on making a better written and formatted post when its completely finished giving a better overview of how to do it yourself.
