I own a more offensive volvo. Rust bombed 740 with one seat, off road lights and a flying tigers shark face. I live in Atlanta, you can drive it if you want.
He always kept everything good about his channel all the way from the beginning, like he never changed because we all liked it from the beginning and the crazy diversity in the cars he review makes it good too. Thatdudeinblue is definitely one of the best.
im from sweden ive seen a bunch of volvos with 300 000 miles PLUS. and yes it is true that volvo is the most common platforms for drifting and dragraceing. verry popular to put bmw engines in them but also LS and 2jz. this 240 your driveing got a b23 (hints 23 2,3L) but a b230 is a 2,3L but many of them got turbos stock and those are know to make 700hp there is a guy thats going for 900 wheel right now and that will be the record. But there is the volvo 850 T5 motor witch is front wheel drive but its known to make 1000+. And you can take the t5 engine and put in a 940.740,240. Becasue the t5 engine bolts right up with the 960 transmission (m90h transmission) and then you get rear wheel drive. the nice things about volvo everything bolts toghter with everything. KINDA like honda.
BraatenSafe-- My Gawd, you get put on blast in a thread up above for this comment, and your ignorant stubborn ass is right her- just a few comments down stating the EXACT SAME SHIT all over again!! I mean really dude, how DUMB can you possibly be??!?
I love that you're not just all about what's the best and fastest. You're not like any other car channel as far as I don't know anyone who has as much passion for cars as you do. I love that you find the unique and fun things in any car and find the awesome parts in all the ugly. That's true passion man, and I feel like you deserve more than you do. Keep it up man!!
Volvo is a great automotive innovator. One of, if not the first, car manufacturers to see the value in front and rear disc brakes. That's not to mention how readily available they are, and easy to upgrade. I think the 240 is one of the car communities most overlooked options, but anyone who owns a Volvo understands the quality and practicality of the car. For me it was love at first shift.
Jesus, are you guys part of any clubs??? the LS and RB are amazing engines, better than the GE, i've heard that getting an RB to fit is a real pain in the ass, but i think thats a rhd problem.. not sure RangerGecko44 FaZe Rain
You're making me miss my volvos. I was given a '93 940 when i was 16. Drove it for almost a decade. Ive also had a 240 and 740. I miss them all. Cars aren't made that way anymore...
3:30 That is so true! Us Swedes modify Volvos for basically everything, rally, drifting, racing etc, the amount of modified Volvos here are ridiculous. The 240/740/940 is a great platform because they are REALLY easy to work on, and 940 turbos for an example, could easily push 250hp with some cheap supporting mods. Great beginner drift car :) Oh and you should really visit Gatebil this summer.
a 240 volvo in good condition is another beast, it's a very predicative and comfortable car that is as fast or faster than many cars supposed to be "fast" cars on long trips
You need to review a turbo 240. I know a guy who has a stock (looking) 240 that has a TD04 turbo that makes 330whp with 300,000 miles on it. Also, cut springs are definitely not causing the vibration.
Joey Kissinger it's the toe rod angle and the slight misalignment. I had roll correctors to fix it but those are what actually caused the wheel to fall off on my trip. The correctors were putting such high stress loads that the bolts that held the strut to the ball joint snapped and sheared
Alexandre Gaumond They are great cars! Try to find one built after 87 at least (wiring was greatly improved, still not great tho :/) and get ready to do the rear bushings on the back axle if you want it to drive decently. There are guides online to build a bushing tool, it's an absolute pita though. When you first get it, do all the usual maintenance and make sure the pcv system isn't clogged. However, they are great cars. Mine is (kinda unfortunately) an auto but with redone suspension it feels great and the steering feel is phenomenal imo. Good luck!
i love seeing cars that you can tell the owner doesnt give a single fuck what other ppl think. they just do what they want. thanks for presenting the car David :)
That's what we call in SWEDEN... A WRECK! Pour power and lousy balancing of the wheels. I Suggest You come to Sweden and try a REAL tuned Volvo 240series...
Am I the only one that missed this channel's videos because UA-cam didn't show it in my feed? I missed 2 months, and I didn't even realize it until now. Another reason to binge watch though.
More likely that he is just inspired by every swedish 15-30 year old. They all drive volvo 240s or 740s or Nissan King Cabs. (But its mostly the younger ones 15-18 who drives king cabs) and they all look like this Volvo..
I have a 1999 S70. Thing has been so reliable for me in the year and a half I have had it. *Best part is*: I got it for $300 with 142k miles It now has 154K and I have had only a couple minor problems like ABS module, etc. Nothing that has left me stranded. Interior is also pretty nice.
I'm from Sweden, and my father has always had Volvos my entire life. Started with volvo 140, then 240, a 360 even. And several 740is, then a 945 Turbo that I got when i turned 18. Now it just sits in his yard since he says its his. But I got my own 940 now that has around 200 HP. With turbo and i freaking love the car! It rattles a bit, smells a bit funky but shit. It's my car!
I had an 84 240... such a fun car. Every time it snowed late at night I would take it out and drift everywhere. Mine was straight piped to a 5" black tailpipe, sounded identical to this one. I miss that car... I drove it from central Florida to northern Vermont, after paying $1200 for it.
Hey dude. I know you'll never respond to this but it's cool. I remember when you first moved to Atlanta and you went through a bunch of drama. You were on the ropes and thinking about moving back to Va. but you stuck it out and for what it's worth, i'm personally proud of you. Cuz if you would've came back you never would've got to review that sick Volvo. Roll with the punches bro. Keep the content flowing and I'll always be subscribed. Best Wishes- Bobby.
dude in blue givn this car too much cred. Its a badass car but too many ghetto ass issues especially the vibrating steering column which is caused by NOT cut springs but bad rack bushings and possibly motor mounts/wheel hubs. like i said badass car but those issues should be addressed
My StepPopz had a 240 sedan when he and my Momz met, and it literally had just over 8oo,ooo MILES on it. He was a regional manager driving a full circuit over a third of North and ALL of South Carolina every week for close to 15 years, and that was his daily driver for every one of those years. when he finally sold it as a still fully running, fully functional car, it still had the original factory built driveline under it- engine, transmission, and rear end still worked almost good as new. Just goes to show how good Volvo's can be if you religiously follow the maintenance schedule
@@austinazcona700 they wouldnt aprovew the b23 tho... too reliable for them lol! nah but the b23 is hard af to break if you ask me i have a 240 beten to hell that i baugt for 50$ blow 20+ sets of rear tires and 8k rpm stock motor still going strong!
So he couldn't get the wheels balanced? Sacrificed the electric 5th gear to put on a custom knob that falls off? The 4 speed trans had been gone for ages before that year. I bet it still has 5th, but you just can't use it because there's no switch to engage it. Seems a lot of repairs or upgrades were just never finished and half assed. Why would he leave off the reverse lockout? It's attached by 2 bolts. Another sacrifice for the custom shifter no doubt. Doesn't run right? whatever happened to "stage 0"? The bumper isn't hard to bolt in either. Why would you use zip ties over wrenching about 4 bolts? All that effort in a diffuser, but not fix the brakes? The stock brakes are quite capable. 240s have 4 wheel disc. There shouldn't be an issue on the street...What a hack job. This car is an extension of laziness and ineptitude.
Firstable, it is most likely 5spd(4 speed plus overdrive, and Volvo 240 is the only mass produced car with push button overdrive for fifth speed!), and if he did not tempered with a transmission, then find those wire pig tails from fifth speed(OD) is still there(most likely), and all "Phat dude in Blue" have to do is - put a cool none stick push button somewhere in dash or shifter(make it a trigger style) and you have 5th speed for a highway. Second it needs a cool big round rally style "Hella" light, that arranged in a trapeze formation on the grill of this car, it looks mean and awesome. Thank you for a review, I really enjoyed watching this cool project.
I've been driving my 940 for 4 years and it's been fun. Had an oil leak and it kept running with barely any oil in it. It was basically completely out of oil. I also drove around without an alternator belt for a few days. No matter how many times it stalls out it just keeps running. Nothing can kill this thing.
I'm taking the 92 240 wagon to new heights. I'm in Little Rock and Ill hit you up once I'm done. Same whip as here, you can just stop by Kroger on the trip. I love these rides. I took a late 80's BMW in late night traffic for at least 4 miles, with a stock 2.3 with almost 200,000 miles on it.
A tip for your friend. Get a extractor exhaust manifold. It will make the 240 sound like a Rally Car haha! Mine has Extractor exhaust manifold, a cleaned katalytic converter, 2.5" exhaust with 2 resonators and it sounds awesome!
David i have always been on your side when it comes to you saying you haven't changed your video style but i think ive finally put my finger on it. its very subtle but i feel like your glamour shots have gotten shorter and become more like review vlogs in a way while alot of your older stuff have had more shots of the car and more exterior pulls and shots of the cars. the one thing missing is the big boost fly by. The quality is still great and still amazing video. just those subtle changes make more of a difference than i thought. id like to see what others think but thats just what ive noticed.
my mom used to drive a 240 for years. I love the old volvos and personally would love to find a 240 and build into a sleeper car. Great video btw. That car is sketchy as hell but for some reason I find it hilarious and F it I'd still drive it for giggles
I kinda love hate when you do buckets but it shows you haven't forgotten about the enthusiasts that's building on a budget I love it David one they hopefully we'll get you in my s2000
sweet got a volvo 740 beater myself, camed it and got 132hp out of it with that alone lots of fun throwing sideways even with that little power, did you know you can buy 3,1L stroker kits for these engines?. have seen 2,5L builds with ported heads and twin weber carbs at 280+hp these engines are so simple and lovely to work on :)
buying an 82 Volvo 240 diesel wagon in perfect cond. tomorrow...... it doesn't have a diesel any more and keeps up with my 86 pretty good. cant wait to make a video.
We had a Volvo 240 for 18 years. Sold it at 303 000 miles, do dents, no scratches and no rust. Original wheels and everything was original. Sold it in 2008.. Had a 850 144hp and a S70 126hp now. Me myself drive a C30 2.0D :P Raised in a volvo home :P
Wow, Love your channel! I realy think that you should do more videos about old Volvos! They are realy cool and here in sweden we gott tons of them and sadly most of them goes to Young teenagers that destroys them;( but My dad found a Volvo 944 fullpresure turbo that has bin in a garage for 20 years now and im planning to restore IT! I vould Love to se a complitly restored and tuned Volvo! Keep up The good work mate!
i love this video man .... i am glad people still appreciate these cars..... very nice please do videos on more iconic cars like this if you can... thanks
in sweden we have a thing called "epa" wich is a car but only allowed to go 30km/h. most of them is cut but you can have uncut "epor" and then you can be a 15 yro driving around with a uncut 240

The 2.3 can be very powerful. People are running over 1000hp on them and they can also be bored and stroked to over 3 liters

Yes, he's not wrong though lol.
Bob Sagit Pretty sure any car making 1000+hp is gonna cost well over 10K to build. If it didnt, then it's a complete shitbox.
razflyer Yeah you are pretty much right. But for how long a 1000hp B16 would blow up after 3 1/4 mile drags or 3 dyno pulls

That dude in blue is back!!!! These videos are why I subscribed
the milage is probably not accurate...probably allot more......
Rafael Valentin believe it or not it is accurate, the odo has never been rebuilt and hasn't broke yet *crosses fingers*
Austin Azcona Haha don't worry, it's a pretty easy fix! Awesome car btw!
At car shows I go straight to cars like this. Love it.
I think there's a difference between offensive, and actually dangerous. Stay safe David.
Nothing about this 240 is a whole lot more dangerous than an original 240
I've been driving my 940 for 4 years and it's been fun. Had an oil leak and it kept running with barely any oil in it. It was basically completely out of oil. I also drove around without an alternator belt for a few days. No matter how many times it stalls out it just keeps running. Nothing can kill this thing.
drifticulties!
I'm taking the 92 240 wagon to new heights. I'm in Little Rock and Ill hit you up once I'm done. Same whip as here, you can just stop by Kroger on the trip. I love these rides. I took a late 80's BMW in late night traffic for at least 4 miles, with a stock 2.3 with almost 200,000 miles on it.
I love this car! Can you please put an LS motor in it...
A tip for your friend. Get a extractor exhaust manifold. It will make the 240 sound like a Rally Car haha! Mine has Extractor exhaust manifold, a cleaned katalytic converter, 2.5" exhaust with 2 resonators and it sounds awesome!
I'm offended.
David i have always been on your side when it comes to you saying you haven't changed your video style but i think ive finally put my finger on it. its very subtle but i feel like your glamour shots have gotten shorter and become more like review vlogs in a way while alot of your older stuff have had more shots of the car and more exterior pulls and shots of the cars. the one thing missing is the big boost fly by. The quality is still great and still amazing video. just those subtle changes make more of a difference than i thought. id like to see what others think but thats just what ive noticed.
does the owner have an instagram or UA-cam?
insta is @drifticulties
Lucas Pariano thanks man
V10? You can put v12 in that. A norwegian guy fitted a bmw v12 in a 240 and made it street-legal!
This could have been so cool but the exhaust ruined it for me
@Carl Rosendahl Actually I have a 240 of my own and a 180SX, but nice try.
my mom used to drive a 240 for years. I love the old volvos and personally would love to find a 240 and build into a sleeper car. Great video btw. That car is sketchy as hell but for some reason I find it hilarious and F it I'd still drive it for giggles
"Don't suck"
Get rid of that fucking exhaust then.

I kinda love hate when you do buckets but it shows you haven't forgotten about the enthusiasts that's building on a budget I love it David one they hopefully we'll get you in my s2000
Those wheels are hideous. But the rest is cool.
Ceazar Carr Wheels look really good imo
If it were on a clean Volvo, they would look great, but its supposed to look out of place so the rims are appropriate.
Ceazar Carr they'd look better without the stretched tires i bet
Why? Otherwise, it wouldn't be offensive!
Yeah that's probably true, I hate stretched tires.
this is a great show concept - thx so much for showcasing the underdogs of cardom!
Ricer
McChicken Cock There is a difference in making a car a piece of art and a "ricer". Guess 10 year olds cant see the difference yet.
Levin Be +1
Its super dope
I thought I could freely express my opinion I guess not.
P.S Im actually 11
That has nothing to do with opinion. Its a fact. Would be the same as to say fire is cold.
I like the rad tag look of the beast
S M H...
sweet got a volvo 740 beater myself, camed it and got 132hp out of it with that alone lots of fun throwing sideways even with that little power, did you know you can buy 3,1L stroker kits for these engines?. have seen 2,5L builds with ported heads and twin weber carbs at 280+hp these engines are so simple and lovely to work on :)
My brother just bought his 7th Volvo today and this was recommended how fun
buying an 82 Volvo 240 diesel wagon in perfect cond. tomorrow...... it doesn't have a diesel any more and keeps up with my 86 pretty good. cant wait to make a video.
Yes! This car is seriously the most unique youve reviewed. The cat sticker is what makes it complete haha
A volvo is never sketchy to drive in!
We had a Volvo 240 for 18 years. Sold it at 303 000 miles, do dents, no scratches and no rust. Original wheels and everything was original. Sold it in 2008.. Had a 850 144hp and a S70 126hp now. Me myself drive a C30 2.0D :P Raised in a volvo home :P
You are my favorite car UA-camr! Keep up the great work David!
i´m from Finland and i own a volvo 240 and this video made me so happy
dude i cant thank you enough for this, i love theses cars they are so under rated! i have a 1985 245 wagon myself M46 trans 275k still bangin gears
Wow, Love your channel! I realy think that you should do more videos about old Volvos! They are realy cool and here in sweden we gott tons of them and sadly most of them goes to Young teenagers that destroys them;( but My dad found a Volvo 944 fullpresure turbo that has bin in a garage for 20 years now and im planning to restore IT! I vould Love to se a complitly restored and tuned Volvo! Keep up The good work mate!
i love this video man .... i am glad people still appreciate these cars..... very nice please do videos on more iconic cars like this if you can... thanks
Posted on my lunch break lol Thanks for the amazing content man! Keep it up :)
in sweden we have a thing called "epa" wich is a car but only allowed to go 30km/h. most of them is cut but you can have uncut "epor" and then you can be a 15 yro driving around with a uncut 240
Absolutely love the character of that car
