Description

1982 Volvo 242 B23F, 46, Cam, PD sway bars and panhard bar, oni shocks, owering springs, ew (less 50 miles) catless 2.5 inch exhaust.


Very straight car with very little rust for an East Coast Volvo 240, inor dent on right rear fender. My intention was to do ice racing with it and then put a roll cage for some NASA Rally events. However, y economic situation has changed since then and I can not with a straight face head in that direction anymore. I love this car, he looks, he screaming engine. Anyway, ere are the highlights:
The good:
  • The previous owner replaced the timing belt and tensioner less than 3k ago. He also replaced all the vacuum lines, ew plugs, lug wires, ew distributor, hole new brake system - rotors, ads, alipers all round, resh oil change, ew shifter bushings, ew motor mounts.
  • Clutch is tight and trans shifts smoothly through all gears.
  • I replaced the alternator and alternator belt 15 miles ago.
  • Replaced front headlights to make this car safe to drive at night: 2 new Cibie headlamp units and 2 Osram 70/65w bolbs, nd new relay and wiring harness (from Daniel Stern Ligthing)
  • Brand new catless 2.5 inch pipe and exhaust.
  • Two sets of wheels included 15x7 OZ MSW mesh wheels with new Falken's and a set of Team Dynamics 17x8 track wheels with worn/hard-assYokohama's
  • I replaced the heater blower engine (oh the joy of that job!)
  • Currently has a Corbeau race bucket in the driver seat. I have a factory seat that I will include.
The bad:
  • The wiring engine harness was cleaned up. However, he "bio-degradable" ICU wiring harness is shit (which I guess is also bio-degradable). Changing this harness was next in my set of things to do.
  • The engine is running rough when at very light throttle. It is not a vacuum leak. I would start by replacing the ICU wiring harness (see line above) before doing any more troubleshooting.
  • Odometer does not work, rue mileage unknown.
  • Grille has several broken mount tabs and is held in with zip ties.
