This build starts with these two cars:
523whp 245
242 Group A replica
Pat (Group A) made this beauty with me when it was intended to be a GP race car and a initially a daily driver. The guy builds works of art. And now I'm going to enhance it.
Upgrades on the way marked in BLUE
The basics:
1983 242 DL
Engine:
'93 B230f Squirter motor
RSI long rods
RSI spec Weisco pistons
RSI stage V 531 head, 1 of 1 298 CFM@28" .600"lift
Header - Designed, built by, and welded at RSI World headquarters
GT3076R turbo - UPGRADE! GTX3076R should be good for another 100 whp
Twin Tial MVS 38mm v-band wastegates
Tial "Q" BOV
Full 3" mandrel exhaust
Nickle coated brass PTC fittings for all vacuum lines
Nathan in Wa Intake Manifold! (bolt on 60+whp, dyno verified)
Transmission/rearend/Wheels:
Getrag 265 - TKO when the Getrag dies
Volvo OE Hydraulic clutch Master cylinder - Wilwood master w/adapter by NIW (Shhhhh, he doesn't know yet)
Volvo OE Slave cylinder - OE GM clutch slave
RSI 13lb flywheel w/60-2 VR pickup - Yoshi CAS adapter
Custom 4puck clutch w/high pressure plate
1031 rear, welded w/3.31 gearing - Ford 8.8 limited slip 3:73 final
RPF1 17x9.5 all the way around
Nitto NT01 255/40-17 tires
Extended studs
Chassis/Suspension/brakes:
Stitch welded chassis
RSI Short Strut Coilovers
Bilstein custom valved short strut inserts
RSI Engine mounts - I love them BTW
IPD Adjustable panhard rod
IPD Adjustable torque rods
IPD 25mm sways
Complete poly suspension mounts - Kaplhenke Spherical bearings
IPD Stainless brake lines
Fuel:
Walbro 255hp intank
Bosch 044 inline - Dual 044's w/surge tank
--Both run with independent 30a relays
Stainless braided-10 supply lines -8 return
Aeromotive -10 FPR
Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors

DIYAutotune race coil packs
Custom made plug wires
Generic fuse block
Hand wired chassis
Gauges:
Speedhut gauge set
Autometer 5" tach
Autometer boost gauge
Autometer Wideband
Other gauges to be determined
The idea is a full interior, fully streetable, and track monster. She has much work yet to be done, but I have a good start.
Pre transplant:
That's better! Maybe not the color combo...
