Volvo 242 Turbo, 16v turbo, widebody, Rota wheels++

[volvo242]

Well i already know how it will looks. Got to search some picture with a blue Volvo 2 doors, somewhere in my old PC. But honestly i got the feeling that this will be a racing car, powerfull and grotesque [brute]. Sell those Rotas on some drift forum and buy BBS or something more elegant. That will work imho.

It will look like a racing car, but as low as i can get it! And it will be a registerd road car!

about the rotas, i like the look on this car.. dont get me wrong, i love the bbs wheels.. but there is like a million cars in norway with the bbs style wheels!

I have seen a few 242s built somwhat similar.. but i have also lifted the rear wheel bow 5 cm o get it lower and i also extended the rear fenders 5 cm down! I have also welded all the holes for the chrome trim, so the sides of the car will be clean!

Well, this is my little projekt.. Been working on it for a couple of years now, starting to see the end on the fabricting part of the bodywork atleast!

What im doing to the old volvo:

Body and interior
- Widebody, 8cm each side rear and 3 cm each side on the frontend!
- Rota GTR-D wheels, 18x9,5 with 265/35 tires and 18x12 rear with 335/30 tires!
- Adjustable coilover`s, Low is good as you know
- Home made front and rear bumper
- Home made rear difuser (spellcheck??)
- Custom hood with vents, need to get that hot air out!
- Lexan windows rear and sides
- Carbon dash with Stack gauges!
- 2 Sparco pro 2000 seats with takata 4 point harness
- Rollcage
- No carpet and.. anything really, just dash, seats and the most necessary!
- Cleand engineroom, all wiring will be hidden
- Stock LSD rear diff
- Custom lowering blocks for the steering and lower arms in the front
- Wilwood gt 6000 breaks, from the Roush nascar team!

Engine
- 2,3 L block from a 240
- 16V head from 740 glt, ported
- Custom Cams
- Switcher s300 turbo or EFR
- Custom Intake
- Custom manifold
- New engine internals
- BW t5 gearbox
- 3" stainless exhoust, custom

Well, lets just say that everything is custom, and i take pride in making almost everything myself!

The engine when done should put out about 700 -750 hp, and 900+ nm!

AND the most important part, the pic`s!













Well, hope you guys like my projekt and sorry for my suckiness in english!

and, ill be back, with more and better pic`s soon
