Volvo 940 Turbo

[leeds_182]

Here’s a few pictures of my 940 that I’ve just bought back. Modified it quite a bit last year and missed it so got in touch with the seller and he sold it back to me.

Mods on the car that I can remember are;

3 inch exhaust and Decat
Cosworth filter
18t turbo from v70r
Astra vxr injectors
Do88 intake pipe
Aem afr
Fuel lab adjustable fuel pressure regulator
TTV single mass flywheel with 850r clutch
Gaz shortened shocks front and rear with custom springs
Banded steels
Superforma custom spacers 25mm front and 30mm rear
Plus a few other bits I’ve provably forgotten!

So happy I’ve bought it back! Needs a few bits sorting before the shows this year but it’s not a bad starting point.

As long as I pay her the 2k allowance a month she leaves me alone.

So so cool! What sort of power have you got?

I’m not sure to be honest. I reckon it’s probably 225-250bhp but never had in on the rollers. It certainly goes well.

I drove my folks saloon version of this when I first past my test. It had the 5th gear overdrive (push button) and didn't hang about, fond memories.

Love that, OP!

Looks amazing. Fantastic car.

Absolutely lethal, sitting just right and I’m sure she goes like a scalded cat

[leeds_182]

Thanks for the positives.

Mot tomorrow!

Beautiful! Can we see the interior, too, please?

Brilliant motor! Question. Are the steel wheels originally VW T5 rims? Where did you go to get them extended please?

[redsq01]

marvellous car; we have one of these - like pistonheads said cross between battleship and wardrobe but the turbo gives it a bit o vim.

I bought them done made. They were 5x108 but the centre bore was wrong. The offset was then totally wrong so had to spend a st load on spacers as nobody makes them for the Volvo! It was a bit of a nightmare but I got there in the end.

I’m answer to your question, they are Ford originally I believe.

That looks great, op!

I'm not wholesale into modding - some I like, but the majority not so much. Your changes are really pushing my buttons Lovely.

Would have looked so much cooler if left unmolested. That exhaust is beyond awful

Forgotten how big these were - the rear three quarter profile looks like a hearse.

To be fair to me, the hanger has collapsed on the back box and then he tail pipe was a piece of scaffolding pipe.

You’ll be please to know I’m straight throughing it in stainless 👍
