Front straight... heading into turn 1.


Same location but with a passing car.


At the kink. Pucker factor in full effect.


Massive ammounts of pizza was had Sat. night in the metropolis of Camden.

-who loves his 104hp 22 year old beater.

 

I thought the 242 was turbocharged?? Well, i thought it was more than 104HP, cool as hell though!

 

Hehe..cool. We had an 87 240DL for many years, and two other 2-series in the past. My dad and brother autocrossed it once. It met an unfortunate demise at 210k miles in 98 when a tornado knocked down an oak tree and took it out dead center. Was a great car while it lasted, no ***** but actually handled pretty well with IPD swaybars and Bilsteins.

I always wanted to put a 302 into that chassis to make a great street sleeper, even started building a twin-turbo motor for the project at one point, then sold it all off for my shifter kart. I think a wagon/302 would make a good cheap tow vehicle for a light car, or general purpose workhorse.

 

My previous Volvo was a 242 Turbo (1984). The 242GT's ('78-'80) were N.A.

104hp-107hp what is the difference when you have such a little hp/lb ratio?

This beast will be a sleeper one day.... I just need to stop the rust and start saving for the I-6 motor that may be installed.

-workhorse... nice... the GEE-TEA has a new name.

 

Nice pics Will! The volvo beast is looking good

DV- who's love of Volvo has grown in the last year

 

Yeah! 242 GT bustin moves! heh..heh.
I was working control at this event, and Willard was such an angry little corner worker that I had to let him out on track for a while! (see pics below)


You can tell he's Jack's brother.. heh..heh.

 

OMG... you put him at the most BORING corner there... Poor Will!

 

Yes, but that way I could let him come in and drive, while I ran Control, Pit-out, and flagging for Turn 1. I was busy guy.. ... not really.

 

Always nice to see the GEE TEA out on track. Soon as I can find me some 15" Turbo wheels, sway bars and decent shocks, DA GUN will be hitting the track too
