Missile-The journal

Devsbeater · 10-13-2011, 11:11 PM

Came accross this, its an 87 244 with a b230ft big rod and lh2.2 swap, 3in exhaust, boost controller and shiny paint with no dents or big scratches.

Car has almost zero rust, which is a shame because it is destined to be a winter drift missile, and if it survives that, it will see the track walls at the 2012 Drift events.sorry

British Columbia peeps pm me with an offer if you want to save it before it gathers any wounds. I would feel bad if I didnt ask

to be continued...

i thought 2.2 came in 87's? no? anyways cool car to start a fun project!!!

Devsbeater · 10-14-2011, 07:03 PM

Yeah your right, it was swapped to the turbo cumputers tho.

GabAlmighty · 10-14-2011, 11:25 PM

Trade ya a 84 242 with a B21et? It's not running but i'll get it running first haha. I'm being sorta serious...

Devsbeater · 10-15-2011, 07:53 PM

Could send me pics on FB, but I would probly only be interested in cash.

Devsbeater · 10-22-2011, 11:53 AM

I welded it.

Devsbeater · 11-18-2011, 12:05 AM

NPR intercooler I had laying around is installed, boost is at about 12 psi now.

So far been driving it a month and all I've had to do is replace and the o/d solenoid and repair the wire, and ad 1/2 a litre of oil.

It also handled the first snow fall like a breeze, welded diff is definatly a good thing.

brendon_ak · 11-18-2011, 12:29 AM

is a welded diff just what it sounds like? Both wheels move at the same time all the time?

also sweet winter vehicle! how tough was it to install with the 2.2? I've got an 88 with 2.2lh and I've been thinking of the b230ft swap...

fcpgroton · 11-18-2011, 08:38 PM

All he had to do is swap the computer for the turbo computer. Not a hard thing to do at all.

brendon_ak · 11-19-2011, 03:29 PM

Wow, sounds like a pretty sweet route if one is looking for good OEM power rather than a +t

Love the car!

jungledorifuto · 11-19-2011, 07:09 PM

no more pics until first wall is hit ;)

Devsbeater · 02-02-2012, 09:18 PM

Vented hood and some stenciling I did a couple months ago. Also, the rear bumper has plastic ground off the corners and the trim fell off after tapping some walls in the snow, not really pic worthy tho.

Devsbeater · 04-23-2012, 10:36 PM

Pre registed for a drift event on may 13th.

Havent got my hands on a t5 adapter yet, so may have to try it with the aw70, definatly trailering it to and from lol.

Next day off I'm going to do some weight reduction and lowering and more boost.

jungledorifuto · 04-25-2012, 08:54 AM

well technically speaking.. the now ghetto trendy "missile" drift car term used to reference automatic trans v8 cars that would drift out in JAYPAN

Devsbeater · 05-14-2012, 04:12 AM

Teaser from today, I bent it more after this pic, now the trunk doesnt open. Turbo is on it way out too, but it was the best time I have ever had at a drift event.

Devsbeater · 05-15-2012, 09:34 PM

All the photographers are still editing, one has a little vid of one of the taps, heres some non action pics I took of the car.

Dads truck, buddies trailer.

Also the car became the event tow vehicle for others who wrecked too hard drive away.

Another drift event june 3rd.
