I've been in the Volkswagen scene for quite a while (owned a few supercharged Rabbits, etc..) but had once owned a 240 Turbo wagon for a bit. It was bone stock but I LOVED that car. I hadnt even wanted to sell it but some kid came to me with $200 more than I had in it out of the clear blue one day.
Well, after messing with VW's I've finally come back to Volvos. I just traded my old 1990 VW Cabriolet for this 1988 Volvo 740 GLE. I have a 740 turbo parts car that I *might* use to convert the wagon to turbo. I'm not sure if I will though as I'm planning on doing a V8 swap after the winter. Only time will tell
Here is what the 740 has done to it:
-Accel Plug wires
-Accel DFI 255 Fuel pump
-Accel DFI 26lb Injectors
-Accel cool blue drop in filter
-2.5" no cat exhaust with walker mid muffler and dynomax rear muffler
-Limited Slip Differential from 940Turbo
-Larger rear discs from 960 Turbo
-OEM Koni's from 740 Turbo
-Intrax springs w/ minor modifications
-Brand new 16" ASA wheels (by BBS) w/ 205/55/16's
-All red tail lights
-Dark tint
-Yellow highbeams
-Pioneer Tape Deck w/ 6 disc changer
-Clarion door speakers
-10" Kicker Solobaric w/ Orion amp and crossover
I'm pretty happy with it so far although I readily admit that it is lacking in the power department. A bottle-fed 5.0l can cure that though
Here are some pics of it...
