So I have finally got another volvo. The new car is a 92 940 turbo red with black leather interior. drove down to Kentucky a week ago and picked it up. drove it 6 hours back to michigan without a hickup. supposedly an old lady owned it since new and then died passing the car down to the person I bought it from. 87,000 original miles! Everything seems to be original. Supposedly the lady serviced the vehicle at the dealership only, though it does also appear that maintenance hasnt been done for a little while. This is the first older volvo I've had that the seat heaters actually work! The car is in great condition and runs pretty good for now. Luckily I have some IPD sway bars in the garage that I still had sitting around, and a lower chassis brace also that I just got freshly powder coated. Those are going on along with B&G Springs, Bilstein heavy duty shocks all polyurethane front bushings, and an adjustable panhard bar that should all be in the mail by now. I also have my eye on some wheels that would look pretty dope! I also kind of want the upper strut brace, but I've got enough on my hands at the moment. once all the maintenance and suspension is done I have a source for to make a 3 inch exhaust with downpipe, then 15 G chip bigger intercooler , throttle body Ect. all of which I would not mind having held sourcing if you have any of this for sale. I'm pretty rusty as far as the Volvos go right now, so I need to get back into the swing of things. Man I hate learning curves

Got for a pretty good price. $1400 plus gas which was $200 so $1600 total. when I'm not lazy I'll take some pictures with my digital camera and actually upload them on my laptop. I was planning on driving down to Atlanta for another 940 turbo that was a silver with a hundred thousand more miles, and at the last minute I searched Craigslist and found this one posted up the day before in Kentucky. It saved me an extra 6 hours each way for the original trip because I ended up just going home after that. I really wanted to get a wagon though so I could put a ridiculous amount of stereo equipment in it. Sedans do look nice though. how would I know if it has squirters or not? also as I said I'm a bit rusty on Volvos at the moment. I know it has the 90 plus exhaust manifold. 13c is no good, 15g hopefully on the way. Anything substantially great about my year motor besides potentially having squirters? I was trying to look up stage performance mods for the 7900 series but the links all were bad. Any help
