My new 242t

242teeI · 08-10-2007, 12:47 AM

I just got it today and am very satisfied

So far I love it. It is just a turbo, no intercooler.... Yet

Its very clean, 4 owner, which the guy we bought it from knew all of them, with 170k miles. It seems to be very well taken care of with all the books, most of the records and all the original keys. My plans are to get some ipd springs, swaybars, new shocks & struts, intercooler, mbc set to 12psi after stage "0" upgrade, new taillights, new audio equipment. Well onto the pics....

Tell me what yall think

Looks nice, straight and clean! I envy your garage and work space, wow i would love to have some room like that protected from the weather. It makes working on the car that much easier.

Yeah, it is nice to have. But with the weather being as hot as it is now, I really dont feel like tinkering out there

Thanks, It needs a little work but its a very nice starting point.

Also, one of its wheels is white? I asked the guy that had it before me and he said it was like that when he got it. Weird eh?
Im thinking about painting them the grey color that the newer R wheels are. Anyone know the paint code?

F**k the Volvo, I want your barn.

OldSchoolEuro · 08-10-2007, 01:46 AM

That looks great dude! wish I could find a nice turbo 242 out here. I like the garage space too!

RedFridge · 08-10-2007, 02:25 AM

What a great looking pair of cars.
Give em love.
I'm always up for seeing some more pics. Nice purchase.

Blue245Ti · 08-10-2007, 02:39 AM

Gonna be the sole dissenting voice here. Keep the commandos, but maybe swap a GT spoiler on. Then, go flathood and run some 7" rounds... Most of the toy bumper conversions I've seen here on T-bricks look worse than the original "bucktooth" commando bumpers.

Car looks real nice, tho...

The wagon will do 120...

Sweet car man, first thing I would do is get the factory style antenna back on there.

yeah, that the ac, and the drivers seat need some work asap. The driver seat is about to fall through. There is no cushion left in it.

Thanks for the complements

240kid · 08-10-2007, 08:40 PM

nice! almost looks exactly like mine, except mine has a black interior and a huge primer spot =/

08-10-2007, 09:18 PM

So baisically make his car a clone of yours?

Blue245Ti · 08-10-2007, 11:07 PM

ROFL, well, he'd have to do that to his 245, then. Besides, my 245 is a bit more of a clone of his 245 now. I'd need to retoy bumper it, put a roof rack on, and reinstall the old Aw71.

His car would be rather unique, in that it'd be a light metallic blue 242GT...

242teeI · 08-13-2007, 03:31 PM

here are a few new pics

and I have a video uploading of the kustom exhaust.

I was thinking ipd springs and swaybars.

I love this car

With your color of car I would go with a graphite. I have a bright silver 240 with black virgos on there. But it could pretty go either way. Since it has that bluish color to it id go with graphite.
