CoRalV70 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 While I agree that Husseins old 245 is sexy, I'm assuming you guys have never seen Paul Schuh's 245 "turvo".. I've seen it, and that hood bubble is disgusting, the body kit is much cleaner on Husseins, and you cant beat gold 80's basket weaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I've seen it, and that hood bubble is disgusting, the body kit is much cleaner on Husseins, and you cant beat gold 80's basket weaves. the bubble is functional and I'll agree, 80's basket weaves are nice. The turvo is beyond impressive in person, pictures don't do it justice. Again, I agree Hussein's 245 was dead sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built a hybrid turbo & fuel enrichment, plus the springs/sways/body kit, that was about it. I did add a few repurposed Volvo gauges after I did the 50 wetshot ..this was back in the late '80's.

Dick Dastardly Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I agree. I still miss my 245, but your last sentence, er...NO However, the OP is going to need to +T that sucker if he wants it to actually move at more than an underwhelming rate Well, maybe i lied a bit @ wishing I had a 240 instead... my T5 is coming along now!

greekone Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 You sold the 850 for a 240? ........ :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel_Mike Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 You sold the 850 for a 240? ........ He didn't sell the 850. He told my dad to just sell it, then I came up with the brilliant idea to give it back to my older sister (She was in need of a 4 door anyway). Anyone want to buy a '96 mustang V6 automatic? :pizza: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin-Solo Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hahaha Mikey, I don't think anyone here local wants a mustang, but if anyone does I really need the cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoneer855 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 And I swear people said the 240's had SOFT suspension, this thing is quite the contrary. I would say it is soft, but it's very harsh. If you want hard, my bro has cut Kilen springs, bilstein HD's all around, solid suspension bushings on everything, ipd 25/25 sways, ipd panhard bar, GT firewall braces and 18" wheels on 225/40 rubber. THAT'S hard! But it rides like it's on rails, the balance is actually quite good. Since it just has the stock B230F, you can floor it around a corner and it'll stay perfectly neutral, no understeer, no oversteer, no drama. I wouldn't recommend it though. 240's are super squeaky when you stiffen everything up and the glovebox opens on every hard bump. And make sure you have a CD player with anti-shock.

herz3mc Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Congrats. That's a good looking car. There is a local who put a v8 in his and drifts it. He was killing it last time we were out there. Put the Nissan 240 to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin-Solo Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 About the soft suspension, I was expecting it to be a massive boat, with all the suspension play in the world . And Im probably going to make this a rally looking car, so lowering isnt any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
