Im building the 244 to be my trash car. $300, sold the the engine/accessories and ecu for $150. So Im happy for $150 and I still have the auto trans to sell

Cant wait to watch the build on the fairmont. Are you on the sloppy forum?

cosbySweater · 10-23-2017, 03:45 PM

No I'm not, it should go by pretty quick I'm hoping to have it running by next weekend

cosbySweater · 10-24-2017, 12:15 AM

Update on both cars!!!! Gearstar shipped the transmission today, the car is going in for full paint and rust repair. And the Fairmont has the engine and trans mounts completely done and tonight I swapped in a mustang 8.8 with a 3.07 and lsd and tubular upper and lower rear trailing arms

Damn that’s exciting to say the least.

Thanks, it has been a very exciting week and a half since I got the car. Lol

To not clutter up this thread with too much Fairmont content I hyperlinked the Fairmont build in my signature if anyone is interested in it!

Maybe! But I'm not going to test that theory, my friend that has been coming by to help out with the engine thinks we should do a shoot out at the drag strip with both cars. It would be really fun and maybe it could happen some day. But I like the car in one piece

I will be testinng that theory. Hopefully and 8.8" sticky tire and a good launch will do nothing but hook. We shall see.

cosbySweater · 11-27-2017, 04:08 PM

so I got the brand new 80e in and having issues right out the gate, and the walbro fuel hose supplied with the pump burst. awesome........ so I will get back over to the car to fix it this evening. also being super busy being out of town for most of November so I haven't had too much time to work on my Fairmont. hopefully I can get that pig finished soon.

cosbySweater · 11-30-2017, 02:29 PM

So I found the issue with the gearstar.... They forgot to install a tone ring on the damn output drum so it doesn't register vss..... Great just ****ing great. Luckily I have a 8.8 and reconfigured Ms to run off the diff speed sensor. But man I am so pissed at gearstar, they don't know that I solved the issue but they are scrambling to make me happy, so at least there is that

Andrewhans · 11-30-2017, 06:21 PM

I would be pissed too. Glad they are scrambling to fix it. I'm sure that is not a cheap component at all.

cosbySweater · 11-30-2017, 07:29 PM

It requires me to remove the trans and send it back so yea I'm beyond pissed. I'm just looking to get some reimbursement from them

BillyMaysHere · 12-01-2017, 01:17 AM

tell em it was for a customer or something...

Man you should really get your head gaskets checked out...awful a lot of white smoke there

...Awesome stuff Cosby

cosbySweater · 12-31-2017, 03:24 PM

Whelp I ended up torching the head on my 244 I've been beating the piss out of it for a few weeks and I think I had the head lift on me. So I ordered new heads, intake, cam and springs. More fun coming. Also hoping to finish up my Fairmont today so that will be fun

cosbySweater · 01-15-2018, 01:41 AM

No Volvo updates so far. However I do have some exciting other news. Just finished doing some street tuning on my Fairmont. Thursday I found that the car had no compression in number 5 and I pulled the head and found that a bolt had fallen in the intake and punched a hole in the piston and destroyed the head. So I grabbed another cylinder head and over nighted a used rod and piston from a flat top 5.3 and slammed it in on Saturday and had it running that evening. Here is the final look of the car.

122power · 01-15-2018, 03:29 AM

that car is cool with the two tone color. Nom nom bolts, lol

cosbySweater · 01-15-2018, 12:11 PM

Yea the ole bolt in the cc chamber trick. Ughhhhh

Andrewhans · 01-15-2018, 05:09 PM

That Fairmont better be easily in the 9's. They move out so easy.

For now since I've only driven the car once, I'm hoping it will hit 11s then I will do a different turbo and cam.
