Hi,

Theres no section on here for the 300 series cars!

Were they ever sold in America or just Europe?

anyway i fancy putting a 16v turbo motor in one. looks an easy mod and the car would go well with all that power. a real stealth machine!

gearbox is in the back of these cars so im wondering where i could go in terms of gearbox mods for reliability.

Anyone care to share there views? has anyone got a modified 300 series cosworth asskicker already?

Can't say I've ever even heard about one until now
Pardon my ignorance, I'm Canadian and I'm new to the Marque.

As far as transaxles, I wonder how easy it would be to take the transaxle out of a Porsche 944/924 etc.... Or it may just be easier to modify the existing gearbox.
That also makes for GREAT weight distribution as well.

If you are thinking of putting serious power in there i would say no, dont do it. The chassis and handeling is bad enough with what its got and over the years ive seen several do complete 360's on roundabouts, even in good weather.

Have owned the 340 1.4 and 1.7 in the past. IMHO the 1.4 was a bad motor but the 1.7 was a corker at the time. If you are serious about an upgrade job start with a good 360 (2L engine) and go from there. The drive train was definatly a different design on these and beefed up a little for the extra power, not sure if the suspension was any different though.
