It will be replacing this tired, worn out, beat up 1986 Cadillac Seville Elegante. That only gets 10mpg avg.
I will be cleaning this vehicle up and taking it to a car auction.

I hate to see it go. There is so many memory's from it and so many drugs were consumed in it. All my friends call it the Rossmobile (Rick Ross) lol :-(

Nice man. What about the lolwagon?

Still have it. I just need a daily driver, so this 242 works out! I'm still looking for a 93+ B230FT for the lolwagon.

:-p

[Delfosse]

well.. its in my driveway. sputters above 5psi. but is awesome on the highway.

[dl242gt]

That car was also listed here by the owner. No takers here until you found it. Looks like a good project. It's a first year turbo. The seats unless they are black leather and door inserts are considered silver by Volvo. A whole bunch of the first year turbos are silver and came with that interior. They were considered some type of anniversary edition but it seems to have fallen into the past about just what anniversary it was. Wish you well with it.

Is Off-Topic considered a hard to find part of TB?

O rly??!??

[Delfosse]

the sputtering problem was the intake fuel pump. I also lowered the front today (cut GT springs) and got the drivers side window to work.

now the alternator is dead, and the passenger side window won't go up. :roll:

I give up for the day. time for a much needed shower and then off to bed!

[Sp3aK]

Gonna get an alignment to go with those cut springs?

[2fast242gt]

no why? probbly gain .003 negative camber?

[Delfosse]

I have other things to worry about before I get an alignment.

[Delfosse]

it was test and tune night at the "local" drag strip

the car did a 10.86 in the 1/8th. no receipts :-(
