Crazy 242 and few 300-series projects

Post by Fuse »

I thought to post these cool Volvos I came around at few Swedish forums.. :P

I think this qualifies as a sleeper? :lol:

http://web.telia.com/~u58212291/240.htm

Crazy...

These next ones are from 300power.com, first one has a tube frame front, front axle setup from Supra and engine is BMW V12 with turbos. :shock: (Pics in the topic of that crazy widened 360 with wild spoiler is a different car, it's from Norway and it has +750hp Audi 5cyl.)

http://www.300power.com/forum/index.php ... eadid=2331

This one is going to get 240 rear axle, M90 and 16V Turbo

http://www.300power.com/forum/index.php ... eadid=2557

This one I posted before already but it's so cool it deserves another post.. :lol:

http://www.300power.com/forum/index.php ... eadid=2513

It's going to have B23ET with H-profile rods and new crank, forged Mahle pistons, B21 auxilliary axle, ported 16V, intake and exhaust made of stainless steel, 895cc injectors and Vems 3.3, Getrag 262/265 and clutch which will hold up to 1300Nm. :lol:

That V12 thing is wild.. :P

Great things happening in garages in Finland too. :lol:

Makkiver has been busy, the burning of his old 360 (the white one) didn't slow him down he bought another 360 and turboed it. :lol: That's the right spirit!

His first setup was a B23A with Holset H1D 55/54, ported 531 with bigger valves, programmable engine managment etc..

He didn't drive long time with that setup, but he dynoed 310hp @ 0.97bar with yet not-so-perfect mapped ignition/fueling.

Now he has the same engine but the manifold is new and turbo has changed to Holset HX40. 8)

Old setup wih H1D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/ ... 030297.jpg

New setup with HX40 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/ ... 030829.jpg

Now he's looking a trans-axle drivetrain which could handle 600Nm torques. :D

Very nice work. :)

WOW! That has the makings of something awesome! What are those rims from, just aftermarket or something else. They look Porsche like, the era or the 944 or something, but I have no idea if they were 4 stud!

They look very much like Borbet alloys - but god knows, suit the car very very nicely though! I like the idea of a strong transaxle ;)

That black 242 is very ugly, bad paint and really does not look very nice. I think that is intention too, some direction of styling I guess, but never that style has been what I have liked.

Personally I love it.

The matt primer doesn't look good on many cars, but I think it looks great there. I just noticed though, the bonnet is still shiny :?

Matt black cars are sweet... can even let the ricer's write they're shopping lists on the doors with chalk instead of having to get vinyls made up!!!

Seriously, I do like matt black, just only on certain cars! I reckon that 200 pulls it off, but agree the bonnet should match the roof and boot lid, be the roof and boot shiney or the bonnet matt...
