Yeah, I'd rather not spend my time digging crusty wiring harnesses out of cars of questionable repute at Pick-n-Pull. My 242's existing chassis wiring, and various random wires in the engine bay are going to give me enough of a headache on their own. Plus with the B21+T hybrid I'm building, no one will be able to mail-order me a chip with a tune near as good as what Tunerstudio will be able to "learn."
Buying an LH2.2 harness, ECM, and sundries on eBay would cost as much or more than a DIY MSII kit and harness.
Since tires are "no cost" I've still got plenty of budget headroom.
Speaking of tires though, I would like to find a set of 15" wheels, my 14" wheels are too skinny to put most of the performance rubber available in 14" on them. I came across a set of Virgos for $150, they were pretty crusty and rough for the asking price. They vanished before I got around to making contact/haggling.
I have several sets of 15 inch Volvo wheels, but I'm afraid the shipping might murder the low asking price. Unless you have somebody driving past Saskatoon in the next while...
I see you didn't list the intercooler on your list of parts- I'm pretty sure I have one of them sitting around here too.
In reply to Streetwiseguy:
Yeah, shipping would be rough.
No, no intercooler, there's a lot of options, Chicom stuff on fleabay, Powerstroke intercoolers seem to be a popular upgrade, and there's plenty of brodozers around here to get parts from. There's always a handful of turbo 850, S/V70s at Pick-n-Pull too, don't know that the intercooler fits, but thought I'd find out, I figured I'd be sourcing injectors from one of them too.
I have an 850, with the 15" Cetus wheels, and a set of 16" BBS RX wheels I've been waiting to swap onto it when it needs tires again. I think even at FMV the BBS wheels would be too expensive, but those Cetus, would be cheap to FMV, no one wants them. Though, they would look, wrong in my opinion, and they'd require spacers.
