Hello all,
Wanted to introduce myself, in Johnathan or JB.
I have taken on a 340 project. It’s quite a cool story. Probably 15 years ago, I drove this car. It was my mates, I had an R32 skyline gtst at the time. I loved it!! It had no power, it was like a boat but something about it I fell in love with.
We used to call it the Swedish AE86 (given our drift love hence the connection)
The car has now been sat for 11 years. It is however solid it appears. And so I have agreed to take the 340 from my mate to build it up. He didn’t want to just stare at it anymore 😭
So, my aim is to finish this season of rallycross (funds permitting) in the Saxo vts, and then I shall start the Volvo.
Initial ideas, B230 turbo engine. At first, I thought to just install 360 running gear but now I’m looking at an m90 gearbox with a 740 rear axle and suspension. I am certainly open to options so if anyone has any suggestions I will happily look into them. The budget is not limitless however and I will be doing a lot of the work myself, potentially some of the fabrication will have to be sent out.
It will be a huge project for me so it will take some time. At the end of it, I may not want to race the car but we shall see.
But I can’t wait. I have a YouTube channel called The Road Hunters for anyone who wants to follow along in the future

And I will aim to blog it up on here over time.
Hope to speak to you all and see you about.
