My modified 240 Wagon, Pic

Grannen · 07-30-2003, 07:25 PM

The car is originally from -77 but has know the apperance of a 84-90.
it has got a turboengine, front seats from one of SAAB´s worst 9000 model, with electric and memory.
It´s build to go fast, but i have got troubles with the engine so I have not tried it out yet.

I got first place on the Orebro-meeting in July 26 here in sweden.

The polaris wheels is from my Vovlo 940, the Wheels to the Wagon wasn´t ready to the meeting. but it is also 17" alloy wheels, but it looks much more elegant with the other wheels, maybe someday I can get pic of that too.

I also have to modify the exhaust, I have to get a 3" all the way, then sidepipe like now, with nice 3" chromepipe at the end.

Hey nice car!!!

Spottty · 07-30-2003, 11:04 PM

Very nice!!! :eek:

So what did you use for suspension? It is lowered the perfect amount!

Chigga 744SE · 07-30-2003, 11:51 PM

man.......... I really would like a set of Polaris.

Hank Scorpio · 07-31-2003, 12:48 AM

stance is slang for how the car sits, lowered ect.

Looks great man, I REALLY love its stance too. I've got to cut the springs on mine now that I've pulled so much more weight off the front end.

The front shocks is taken from the original turbo, and the rear is gonna be change soon, to turbo or something like that, the springs are from BG, they lower about 40mm, But i have to cut some more off at the rear, it looks nice on the pic, but in reallity it hold it´s tail a bit high.
I could also use a set of U.S turnsignallamps, i like that.

Very joyfull that you all like the car

Here are some more pics of Grannens 245 turbo =)

Grannen · 08-01-2003, 04:59 PM

Thank you Koolance
As you can see the engine and all around is painted in yellow, so is the rearaxel and gearbox.

I have had about 7 turbo 240, and this one handles like a dream, not only because of the watt-link, but it defently has got some of it´s good handling from that. The car is build to run, and when I get the engine right I will let it out to proof it.

The Watt-link is from S.A.M/Staffanson automotive If i remember correctly

boostdemon · 08-01-2003, 05:45 PM

nice. it is a very pretty car. I think i remember seeing older (much older) photos of it from a meet somewhere.

wildmanben · 08-01-2003, 06:44 PM

Very nice car!
And you wouldn't believe how long it took me to realize that those are mirrors under the rear end

... I thought you grew grass in the trunk or something, until I realized everything was upside down. But it took me a sec. to even notice that- i guess i need some sleep.

Two245Turbos · 08-01-2003, 10:27 PM

I'm JEALOUS! I'm JEALOUS! I'm JEALOUS! Lookin' VERY SWEET! Very nice to see a CLEAN looking 245 without too much to overdo it..Keepup the good work...
