Update:  Car was sold in October 2008 to a really good guy, and I trust that it will be taken good care of.  Since I made this profile, many modifactions had been made. 

 I installed a better cam that had better lift and duration that gave me a TON of top end and pulled hard to redline, where the original cam ran out of breath at about 5k rpm.  It had a really nice, lopier sound to it too :) .  In addition to that, I installed the fuel and ignition chips and a bigger turbo set at 28psi.  To help keep the afr's in check, 440cc injectors were installed.  I redid the whole braking system with drilled zimmerman rotors, new calipers, stainless braided lines and ATE blue race fluid.   

The car was a beast and TOTAL sleeper.  If I matted it from a dig, I wouldn't get traction until about 50-60mph.  And I could keep up with much smaller cars on the twisties.  I'll miss it, but I have new car now and it treats me pretty well.  Check out my 850turbo 5speed.

This is my 940. It's sort of a sleeper, not blindingly fast, but surprising for what it is. I've had it for almost a year now and love it. It replaced my 740 that's about to turn into Frankencar.

As far as modifications go: Bilstien HDs all four corners, IPD/TME sport springs, IPD oversized sway bars with poly endlink bushings, K&N filter, 2.5 inch custom turboback exhaust, manual boost controller set for 11-12 psi. New 60k mile engine and transmission swapped in.

In the near future, I'll be doing a higher performance brake job with all new calipers, drilled zimmerman rotors, carbon fiber pads, stainless lines, and some nice fluid. Hopefully I'll have the time to do a stickshift swap that I have most of the parts for. Also over the summer, I have plans for an ecu fuel chip that's good for 15psi, as well as the ignition chip that acomanies it, or msd....not sure yet. Another time consuming project is a bigger turbo swap, a Mitsubishi TD04H-15g out of the Volvo 850T-5 and 850R series that I have my hands on.
