thats SO good looking! I love the front.

[adrianpike]

What spring length & rate are those?

[Geoff240Ti]

Nice! You really make me want to go that route on coilovers.

I take it your exhaust must have some bark to it? Look well done though!

[speedn_j]

the steelies look awsome

[kyote]

Springs are 275lbx10" front, 250lbx11" rear
Exhaust is 2.5" catback (to say that it is catback doesn't account for the fact that the cat is no more than a shell with a pipe welded in the middle of it) with a 30" Cherrybomb. Sounds Amazing.
I'm staying with steelies, but in the 740 flavor.

[oldschoolvolvo]

looks nice!

[cst805]

cut dem butt cheeks off. not your hermanos, the cars.

[ElPiloto]

What about the steering? How far from level are the lower control arms? What's the angle of the rods from the rack to the steering arms?

I have never seen a decent solutions to the above problems.

[kyote]

I know. Trust me, I know.

[dl242gt]

That car is in great condition!

The crankcase breather setup stock is the best one that Volvo used on these engines. Why not just go to the air cleaner instead of that breather? Where you put the breather is where the hose attaches and goes to the air filter box.

Anyway, have fun with a really nice early 242!

[m4ld0.^]

anyway you could take a video of the exhaust or record it somehow?? i want to hear that shiz

certainly.

[Crazychopstick]

Not bad at all.

I have my exhaust routed in a similar fashion.

[242Bleek]

That is cute:-P ,it has alot of potential

[LILJOE]

I'm digging the car dude, but to be honest, you shouldn't let your girlfriend lay on the hood like that......worries me a little.......

[kyote]

Thats mi hermano, hermana, if we were dating that'd be incest ewwwwww... were from tx not wv....

[kyote]

[shaved240]

was the coilover sleeve at the top of the strut or did you move it down a little bit?

[NiM130]

It's funny, there aren't many other car forums around that appreciate steelies as much as we do.

[945ti]

Looks great.
S-can the commandos.

just put your thumb over the "cheeks" voila! no fuss, no muss, no cheeks!. looks perty good I might add.

btw, someone stole the turbo.

[Nick]

Awesome car. I love that era of 242's. Get off the hood.

[kyote]

Looks great.
S-can the commandos.
Also in the works.

The top of the sleeve was like 1/8" below the top of the strut tube.

thanks kyote..i'm currently working on coilover too..seems we will have twins

[adrianpike]

I think it's a common project.

[kyote]

A great common project with VERY noticeable, awesome results; When i got the car, it had the original 178k mile blown shocks and struts, the difference bilstein hds and coilovers has made is beyond comprehension. I've got the rails part down... now to add the rocket :volvo:

[tjanson]

Sweet car...
ditto on the steelies looking good
Love the straight-out exhaust- I want to do the same on my GT. I second the request for you to record the exhaust! How loud is it?

[GreatDaneShane]

personally, i think i look good on the car

[shaved240]

bringin back the oldies
