I had a feeling you would do this, I take it he dropped the price enough to reflect what needs doing?

Not massively if I’m honest. £250 less than what I sold it for.

The thing was that as I looked around there was nothing anywhere near ‘my’ 940 for the spec. When added up the spending it was silly.

TTV fly wheels and 850r clutch - £500 plus fitting
Custom spacers - £200
Wheels and tyres - £500
Turbo - £200
Exhaust - £500
Injectors - £100
Stereo - £250

Plus all the other stuff I did. It just adds up!

 

[Daz...]

You’re a nutter, please don’t change.

 

[craigyt]

This thing is such a weapon, old skool boost, it kicks n sods off!!

So happy to have it back in jims possession!

Buy car, spend lots modifying, sell car, buy car back, spent lots putting it back to good condition, sell car again. Winner lol.

 

[leeds_182]

Ordered some oil, oil filter, plugs, coolant, second hand intercooler, wipers, and vac pipe. It’s not boosting as it should be but I’m pretty sure that’s due to the intercooler shitting it’s pants.

Still great to have it back!

 

[leeds_182]

940 has bossed it in the snow today. Setting off is a little bit of a challenge but once it’s rolling it’s pretty stable even on the bct’s.

 

[Jonnio]

Grandfather clock in the dash? Epic lol.

 

[OssPoop]

For sale yet?

Seriously that's a cool old motor. Have you ever bought one back before or is this "the one"?

 

[leeds_182]

Just my old Rallye @OssPoop - although it had been canned and throttle bodied when I got it back.

 

[182_steve]

What's the plans this time? In regards to, get it back to what it was or take it even further this time?

Make it mint, chuck aload more money at it then sell it.

That's Jim.

Jim do you want to buy my Impreza, you can have it for 6 month's then I'll buy it back once it's 500hp.


Deal?

Sounds very familiar

 

[leeds_182]

Dirty

 

[v15ben]

Good to see the old shed back.
I predict 2 months, 3 days before it's sold again!

 

[leeds_182]

First wash since I got it back;

 

[Mr R.]

Did you just say "her"?

Don’t know what you mean.....

I love this car, how massive were Volvo's back in the day, it's as long as a school bus!

Can you get a photo of it parked next to a Merc Sprinter for comparison, I bet it wouldn't be far off the same length.

There's a sprinter in the boot [emoji23]

 

[Stiamh-JM]

Looking fine, odds on the previous owner probably didn't wash it at all?

To be fair to him it wasn’t too bad!

That's just pushed the prices up even more.

Ha ha, yes!! Buzzing!!

 

[leeds_182]

Mot passed today. Did have a couple of advisories for corrosion on the inner wings. Nothing anywhere near any structural stuff but I’ll get it sorted all the same. Also, running low on one of the rear tyres so need some new boots - an excuse to get shut of the bcts!

Went down to @craigyt s house for some fun and fettling. Fitted a replacement intercooler and some new plugs and also replaced some old vac pipe.

The exhaust had been hanging off as the hangers were shagged. To be honest this exhaust was s**t from day one so decided to buy a metre of 3 inch stainless and straight through it! Done but it now sounds s**t so on the hunt for a back box. Luckily, Craig might have access to one so should be able to get it on ASAP!

 

[leeds_182]

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah that sounds terrible, get on ebay and buy yourself a cheap 3" back box sharpish.

 

[Flat Eric]

Sounds sick y0!

 

[BashRacing]

i have a couple of stainless back boxes that will do the job,
you can have them as i was only going to scrap them.
Both 2 3/4” iirc

 

[Mr R.]

But the sound of that turbo bruv.
