It's been a while since i updated everything online about the 242, 245, 265 and as latest addition a 244. (I've only been using my Instagram for updates, if you desire it's: @Wantikbenzo)
Quick overview on the 242:
After the sanding, welding all the small holes and painting the enginebay. The engine went back in. And we testfitted the manifold and turbo.
Then proceeded to lay some gold foil, a turbo blanket, fitted a GFB 44mm external wastegate and 800cc Deatchwerks injectors.
Bought another Volvo, now a 244 GL.
Only 70.000KM on the ODO and really clean. Hasn't seen much use after the purchase but i like the color and having a 2, 4 and 5 door 240 makes much sense
Got my hand on another set of Polaris wheels and powdercoated them white.
Joined the ricer-croud and went #fullretard with permanent tyre lettering: Doggo doesn't like it.
Welded a flange on the intake for the 50mm Nuke Blowoff Valve, installed a external oilcooler, the original intercooler (let's see how long it holds).
Fitted a Mishimoto fan on a new 940 radiator. Fits like a charm <3
Fitted a Setrab oilcooler:
Plenty of room with the waterpump
Winter came, so i had to park up the 245 Turbo. Found a neat little spot!
Installed DO88 waterhoses, Yoshifab Phenolic spacers and a Catchcan adapterplate.
And a catchcan:
currently i'm waiting on parts to replace my tired old M46 Gearbox in the Purple 245 for a M90 transmission. So ordered a lighter flywheel, new clutch, hydraulic system, driveshaft adapter, and a whole lot of different stuff to make the swap easy and do-able in one day.
The 242 still needs:
- Stainless exhaust with screamerpipe
- Nice interior
- V70R brakes (I've purchased them allready)
- New wheels fitted
and whole lot of small things. But we're getting there!
