Cool car, I would strive for even fitment if I were you though. The rear is too low in comparison to the front. Keep it up, Oregon RePrEsEnT

I kept thinking your interior shots were of mine haha, exactly the same[IMG][/IMG]

I guess I should update this thread.

Since the last update I've worked on the car quite a bit. I've swapped in a new cam and had it shimmed, completely rebuilt the wiring harness and cleaned up the whole engine bay, finished my sub box so its less ghetto now, fitted some new wheels and adjusted a few things on the suspension, and damaged a few things thanks to the whole ground meets car thing.

Drove this thing down to Davis and it faired pretty well, it ran great but had a few vibrations and stuff I need to work out, nothing too bad. Spent all weekend there in Davis and had a great time hanging out with everyone and met a few new people. The show on Sunday was pretty cool, had tons of really nice cars, and I even won best 240 of show somehow.

Here are some pics I'm stealing from Ansel because he's the most based photographer














damaged my exhaust just a little













dyno'd this beast, made over 9000 whp



I guess the next thing on the list is to fix a few minor things, then it's on to front suspension work and other fun stuff

Literally my favorite car on stance works and I'm not kidding

Please tell me this will be at Leavenworth, literally so perfect.

My brother had a slammed '81 242 coupe at Leavenworth last year, but the color of yours is amazing.

Whoa forgot about this thing.

Well, since the last update I guess a few things happened. First being iPd/RSI weekend, the car didn't change much from how it was in Davis, but I just fixed a couple things that were broken related to the whole car being low situation. I've just been driving it and taking it to meets and stuff around here, and occasionally washing it. This last weekend was the Leavenworth Drive/drink a ton of beer in a bavarian town weekend , which was a ton of fun. Drove the car up there and it did pretty alright with a couple minor hiccups, but those are fixed now.

Also, I decided that I'm ready to move on to a new project, I'm sorta bored with this car and I want to try something a little different. So in preparation for selling the car, I put bigger tires on it (215/45/17s) and raised the car up slightly to fit them. Personally, I really don't like the way it looks, but damn it rides much better and handles great.





















and thats it yo
