stick70 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Been wanting to lower the 242 for a while, so I got out the cutting wheel today and cut the springs. 3 in the front and 2 off the rear. It sits just about level in the shop, the driveway is far from level. Also gave it a bath and thought I would take some pics, still needs alot of work, but its getting there. It may be a little lower all said and done, its still missing intake, fluids, turbo, dash etc. Taking out all the a/c stuff though raised it way up Thanks for looking, comments welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick70 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Next step is megasquirt. I have a built v2.2 ready to go, right now im figuring out how its wired. I think for msns. I have to either build or buy a harness, hook up the sensors, etc. Then after first start begin the tuning. Its going to be n/a for a little bit, then ill +t it and start the shens from there.

Migilla Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Doesn't anyone else find it odd that after a fairly heavy mod of removing and cutting springs the 2nd topic is a car wash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 $ Money $hot $ great looking 242 man. The flathood + grille, and quad rounds give it that amazing look. some paint, and bodywork, this thing will be downright perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
