Back story to this car:
Bought in Italy during Spring '17, brought it back home and registered it in France.
It's a 1997 (like me!), B200ft, M90 940. In italian 'Polar' trim. 155k km's when I got it, now at 180k.
I got this car because I wanted a quick RWD, turbocharged and manual station wagon primarily for my roadtrips all across Europe, to compete in the downhill skateboarding World Cups that happen every summer here.
My plan for this car is to keep it looking somewhat discrete to the untrained eye (read: cops) whilst improving on every aspect of it like power, handling, braking and somewhat reliability/driveability.
DISCLAIMER : I have no idea what I'm doing. Every thing I've done to this car is completly a first for me!
So far, it has:
-3 inch exhaust with race cat
-MBC and fuel chip
-Wasted spark conversion
-AEM wideband and boost gauge
-Catch can
-IPD swaybars and poly bushings
-Mildly chopped springs & Gaz adjustable dampers
-Kaplhenke quick steer corrector
-Slotted rotors with EBC Yellow pass, DOT 5.1 fluid
This is how it sits at the moment
Packed up on 17 inch Citro?n steelies!
Lost in Prague this summer with the bois
After blowing up my 13c hairdryer I got a 15g... And things started escalating since that, as it always does!
Decided to pull the engine out as there was a few leaks and need a new clutch + flywheel for my M90.
Found a 531 head with the VX3 cam in it that is going in there as well.
Installed shiny AN lines for my catch can install and turbo's oil feed + drain lines.
...and that's it for now. I'm waiting on the last batch of parts to finish everything!
Future plans include:
-Fitting my TruTrac diff (already have it, no clue how to install haha)
-Upgraded fuel system to handle the 15g at ~17 psi? (Ideas welcome)
-Suspension back to stock height with HD springs in the rear and "Rally" coilovers in front, to fit 205/70 15 All Terrain's (mainly to do better skids at skate event's grass campgrounds and reach remote-ish places to set the tent)
Any advice more then welcome here!
I can now confidently say I've caught the turbobrick bug
