So this is my car, ive put off updating alot. Just did my car domain so I figure Id make one of these.
Car was purchased in New Jersey in a Junkyard, for the price of a 79 244 and $200.00. Made the long haul from NJ to the tip of Michigan...a total of 940 miles. Without any problems. I moved from MI to Ohio and the car was driven to me during winter a few years back. It's been fun ever since.
Engine/Mods: Ported/Polished/Decked 160
Intercooler
B Cam
.48/.42 T3
Fuel Delivery: K-jet w/ LH jet pumps
Drivetrain: M46-J, stock rear-end
Suspension: *Needs updated, nothing major but a nice set of tires and some decent shocks.
Cosmetics: 25% tint, MC sticker, painted virgo's, painted bezels, newly painted valve cover, and silver IC pipes.
Stereo: 2 10's @ 640W
Started out as a bone stock B21FT. Here it is in MI.

1st Changes made were overhauling the interior and adding some new intruments, magnecore 8.5 wires and a nice set of plugs.
-Soon after blowing a turbo and a cracked exh manifold.
she got a .48/.42 and a MBC (thanks to Isaiah X2 :lol: )
-Next, was to drop a bit of weight and add some boost. Wicked it up to 15psi, and lost the leaky powersteering and outdated A/C compressor..etc also did the cold-only mod.
Pfunk242 improved on the original design, by just reversing the piping and cutting the edge to fit. Produced a nice result.
-Bit more of interior change with an autometer AFR guage with rocker switch. Kind of a neat subtle touch, blends in very well imo, also threw in a higher output 240 alternator around this time.
-After came the biggest part of this on going project... decked, ported and polished head and just a good valve lapping instead of the planned 3angle, also swapped out the stock T cam and dropped in a "B" cam I found in a 242GT.
