I've got a 340 1.4 as the "daily drifter" whilst the S40 is off the road (hopefully back tomorrow!) and its an awesome little car. Even with an open diff and shockingly low power in the wet it drifts like a dream - very easy to control.

When the S40 is back and running reliably I'll think about dropping an F7P engine in and welding up that diff.

That 340 you've linked to is far too nice to drift! check out volvo300mania for a bargain. they often come up "free to a good home". Mine set me back a massive £120 without a spot of rust on it with about a months tax and test left - passed the MOT without needing any work. Best part was that i insured it fully comp without using my NCB for £220 (I was 22 at the time).

I get a load of stick from my mates because they all think its a pile of crap and looks dog ugly (they're partly right I guess!) but I've got a bit of a soft spot for them especially if they look a little something like -



Lovely!
