Project 242ti

Hello, this is my former 1982 242TI that I spent 4 years building. It was the feature project car of the now dead www.clubvolvo.com. This car was featured in Grassroots Magazine, the New York Times, www.swedespeed.com, www.turbobricks.com, www.smokemup.com, www.norcalimports.com and www.eurosporttuning.com as feature cars. Its also made a few apperances in Rolling, the magazine of the volvo club of america. Thank you visiting my site! Try www.forums.turbobricks.com for more information!

Thanks,

Doug Kauer

Doug, I am looking for a performance head gasket for my modified B23FT. I just recently blew the gasket and I'm putting in a new one in a week and I am wondering it there is a better one than stock. Thanks Andrew

Your Volvo positively rocks - saw the 1/4 mile time too - very nice!

Very cool volvo. It's nice to see people working on older cars instead of just scrapping them when they're done for.
