BC Racing Coilover Install - Volvo 245L 1UZ V8 Project [EP2]

In this second Volvo 245 1UZ V8 series I'm installing a set of BC Racing coilovers! A 44 year old volvo 245 with a V8 should handle great and that's what the BC Racing set is for. www.lucacarmods.com/Volvo-240-244-245-BC-Racing-Coilovers

When you slam a 240, you need to get some adjustible upper torque rods for the back so you can adjust the pinion angle and center the wheel in the wheel arch. If you are gonna drift/race it, i recommend kaplhenke www.bneshop.com/collections/240/products/240-adjustable-torque-rods

[@raulmartinez5511]

Love it man, perfect stance, great TIG skills! cheers from Barcelona.

[@anderskisen1375]

Wow we got lucky this time! We almost got a proper outro guys. Love your work Luca! This build will be sweet.

[@LucaCarMods]

Anders Kisen haha.. damn premiere pro cut the last 30 secs😓

[@tomrhodes7771]

I assume if you pre-heat the knuckle the BC housing probably wouldn't go over the 50mm section due to thermal expansion. Loving this series Luca can't wait to do the same to my own once you're done!

[@SuperTurbodave]

Big fan of the Volvo 240's love it can't wait to see it done.

[@StreetForged]

Awesome! I wish there were more low budget options available for the 240, cut springs are a great time though lol

[@THEWATER3UCKET]

I was worried when you said theres wielding kuz I've only welded like twice.. but this seems super easy and definitely manageable with a tiny bit more practice on my end.

[@AfroMyrdal]

Looks sick man! I'm impressed of the detail of the bc manual and that they actually make a kit for this car. You think they would make one for a 360 (the one with volvo motors, not the Renault one.) or both I guess.. :p

[@ugisievins6867]

Did you set the preload on spring? In adam LZ and Taylor Ray, who works for BC, videos they set the preload in other way

[@Freddiegibsons82]

Other than the knuckle did you have to use any of the stock components in the front end?

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

Are you going to turbo the 1uz?

[@96koos]

Mooie nummerplaten!

[@js.2343]

Super vet man! Ik wil ook nog zo'n setje voor mijn 244 uit 75, misschien is het mooi om er koplampwissertjes en een voorbumper uit 79 met onderspoiler er onder te doen, krijgen ze namelijk een hele woeste blik van. Maar dat heeft geen prioriteit natuurlijk

[@StreetForged]

Are you satisfied with the BCs? I have heard mixed reviews about them, particularly the rears being too stiff and having a poor spring rate balance. This and kaplhenke are the only two affordable options that arent basic a basic lowering spring and eibach setup, but I'd rather go with the kaplhenke stuff if people arent happy with their BC purchase.

[@Anuskasv0]

What spring rates did you get and how is the ride? Too soft/hard or fine?

[@dontlikesoccer]

Hey hey, have you driven hard on the coil overs yet? I'm browsing around, curious about BC, over the conventional DIY kits with Koni shocks

[@TURBOMOOSE]

nothing better than bc's!

[@havardwestbyerygh2487]

Get ocean mk18 for the 240

[@peterwoodhead2569]

The rear does not appear to be a coil over set up and unless you have assembled them incorrectly then I cannot see how you can adjust the ride height at the rear, could you explain, thanks.

[@dorian8876]

U r star...wish to have Ur skills

[@DriftarnDk]

Mk18 rims is A must for this car

[@C0DZombies12]

I've seen bc racing coilovers and had my eyes on them. It says for the 1990 Volvo 760, which I have, it says for the non independent rear suspension only versions I believe and I'm not sure if I have IRS how would I be able to tell?

[@danielace4699]

Get under the rear of the car and have a look whether its an IRS rear end or solid axle...

[@winningdesigns6067]

940 sedans are irs, 940 wagons are solid rear. 960s have a leaf spring in the rear. I assume same goes for the 7s.

[@LapLandSystem]

Lets call this car Peach box, as play from the orange color and it being soon sweet beats playin' box?

[@peterhatch1583]

Im in America can you give me the part number for the kit for a 1985 240 volvo wagon please

[@ArchimedeanEye]

The knuckle is not cast iron, it's forged steel.

[@braapunited588]

Hey, nice video. But is this set street legal? I dont know how it is in other country, but in Germany we must registered every new Part on our cars by "tüv". Ist sucks but...yeah :D

[@LucaCarMods]

I believe they are tüv certified. I would have to check to be sure.

[@braapunited588]

Luca Car Mods Thank you for the answer ;) I think i buy one of these sets for my 740 :D

[@magnumowner]

Ive been wanting to get coilovers for my 240 but i dont know if i want to spend 1000$ on suspension when i bought the car for 600$ 🤔

[@LucaCarMods]

See it this way; you can always sell them when you get rid of the car.

[@TURBOMOOSE]

retro turbo has some off brand that are pretty cheap at about 450 right now

[@MrBiskuit]

Ben je niet een paar seconden vergeten aan het einde?

[@LucaCarMods]

MrBiskuit -Ja die zijn helaas weggevallen...

[@tobiaskaczmarek]

Why did you upload this video so late in the night?

[@Itsme-sr8rp]

Tobias Kaczmarek może mu się renderowało?

[@LucaCarMods]

Tobias Kaczmarek Because I just finished editing 😅.

[@Itsme-sr8rp]

[@wesseldeman123]

[@dzrotary]

Im doing a 7mgte in a volvo wagon and is here in youtube kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmqog5WVd9V9bs0,Love the 1uz, there are plenty to go. the &mgte was for free with everything so I rebuilt it 5 years ago and it only has 9k miles.

[@josephsamsor1698]
