![]() This is my recently sold 242 that I spent 4 years building. It was the project car (for the currently MIA) www.clubvolvo.com. Bought it as a budget weekend project, sorta snowballed from there. Quickest time I ran was a 13.6 @ 106 with SEVERE traction issues and only 14psi. Was a fun car, lots of lessons learned lots of parts devolped (T5 adapters, CF hood, early MS user, 3rd S60R brake conversion, rewired the car from scratch ... twice, hiem jointed torque rods, first that I know off in the US ProTurbo.Fi header, K15 cam ect ect ect). Twas fun on to a new project that we should be putting up info on soon
