![]() ![]() 242 Drift CarPosted by Scott in CAR FEATURE, Uncategorized, tags: 242, drift, turbo, VolvoBy: Rob Prince I purchased this car in 2000 from my boss at the shop where I worked. At the time it was powered by a 2.2L B21 with forged Arias flat top pistons, custom ported cylinder head with larger valves, dual Weber 45DCOEs, and a Stahl header. It came with a set of 17” Volvo Titan wheels. Suspension was decent — cut springs all around with custom revalved bilstein shocks. It also had IPD sway bars, 25mm front and rear. The car was equipped with a Dana clutch-type limited slip differential. It handled well, made decent power, and was quick enough to be fun. In 2002 it was dynoed on a Mustang Dyno at 136hp and 148lb-ft with a broken accelerator spring in the front carburetor. Pretty decent, but I was expecting more.

Sometimes though important information is missing, particularly when the original posting was just a bunch of cool pictures. |
