hello everyone I though I would start to write up this thread. First off all the car its a 1983 244 turbo with a b21ft silver in color will get pics up soon. The first thing I did to the car was put in a full 3" exhaust.Next was the interior I loved the gt so I picked up some gt seats and all black door panels. Since then I have done the 740 alternator mod just gives me better access. My exhaust manifold was losing studs so I got parts to convert the b21 to a b230. I put the battery into the trunk. I ordered a 32" by 12" by 3" deep intercooler from ebay and a turbo xs rfl blow off valve. I added the trans am wing like on dougs 242. The wheels had chrome on them which I didnt like so I went and painted them black. I still have plans for the engine and I need to finish the exterior. and get all the interior wiring up and running so my guage lights work. Comments and ideas are welcome when i get pics posted.

how did this "lh2.2 swap" that resides in your sig didnt get listed!? :???: Seems like a rather large piece of the mod puzzle.

take care

Come on now, it's been a month! Where's the pics? Anyway sounds pretty cool, so get some up here so we can see them! Or, just come and hang out next time we get together for an OVT thing... Where'd you get the exhaust done?
