Volvo 940 Turbo
Discussion
I rang the OP about this car when it was for sale. I'm near Leeds and I wanted the car but missed it by possibly a few hours. He said he'd taken a deposit but would keep me in mind if things fell through. I've since moved on to two vxr8s but this would have been an ideal family car with menacing stance. Looks fantastic and I'd buy it any day. Colour is great, stance is excellent and power sound more than adequate. All the best with it OP.. Cheers Zak
My old man has a 97 run out 940 Celebration, literally been round the world as was owned by my Uncle who was in the RAF and based in the Falkland Iles, car went with them!
Now covers less than 1000 miles a year
2.3 Turbo, done the head gasket on it and it has a new exhaust every year but still trundles along
Didn’t realise they had a following!

Had a few issues with a misfire on the 940, happening under load in fourth and fifth gears. Changed the plugs, no hot, fuel filter, still the same but then decided to change the dizzy cap, leads and rotor arm and she’s running like a champ again. The AFR has decided to break now but there’s always something.

Where did you get your steels from, or did you band them yourself?
I've recently bought a V50 and want to make it a little less "Grandad"
Sorry for the slight thread hijack (nice 940 by the way!) - it's easy to de-grandad them; this is my C30 T5 (from the B-pillar forward, the same as a V50 mechanically):I've recently bought a V50 and want to make it a little less "Grandad"
Cosmetically, all I've done is tint the rear windows, have the wheels powdercoated gunmetal grey, a carbon fibre front grille, a splitter and some halos in the headlights.

Thanks mate! Yours looks ace, love the inspiration. Where did you pick up your grille?Cosmetically, all I've done is tint the rear windows, have the wheels powdercoated gunmetal grey, a carbon fibre front grille, a splitter and some halos in the headlights.
I was thinking of fitting the R Design spoiler, change wheels (maybe spacers, too), possibly lower a little and now a new grille that I've seen yours haha, but that's a whole new thread
Yep sorry for thread hijack, we'll get back on track now

No worries! Mine was an R-Design from the factory, I really like the kit they come with. I got the grille from a member of the C30 Crew UK page on Facebook - V50s need a different shaped grille but I think you can pick them up on eBay. I'd recommend joining the VolvoTuning.net page on Facebook and having a look around for further inspiration, quite a few people have modified their V50s.

Ah, I forgot - there are also 20mm spacers on my rear wheels and 30mm Eibach lowering springs all round
there's a lot you can do - if yours is a T5 too then look for Focus ST225 parts; they all fit as it's a Volvo lump
