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.

Paul has invested an incredible amount of time & energy on his - way beyond mine. 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 :lol:

However, the OP is going to need to +T that sucker if he wants it to actually move at more than an underwhelming rate :lol:

Well, maybe i lied a bit @ wishing I had a 240 instead... my T5 is coming along now!

You sold the 850 for a 240? ........ :huh:

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:

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.

About the soft suspension, I was expecting it to be a massive boat, with all the suspension play in the world :lol: .

And Im probably going to make this a rally looking car, so lowering isnt any time soon.
