I purchased this 1993 940 last night up in Seattle Washington it was quite the adventure i left Vancouver WA at 6:00pm didn't get home until 2:30am. Ill be keeping track of everything i do with the car in this thread. If anyone has fallowed my other threads, you know i do extensive modification in an attempt to fully personalize my car.

I have many things on the to do list already, mainly i want to improve the reliability of the car. I want to hop in it in the morning knowing it will take me anywhere i need to go and have confidence in its ability to do so. Then i want it to do that comfortably. Finally i want it to do that fast and fun.

I will be shooting for about 250whp in this car, a good stereo, clean interior, great handling characteristics, and good looks.

So you're the one that picked this car up? Nice score, looks great, looking forward to updates!
 
I would suggest e-codes as the first mod following the extensive stage zero I mentioned yesterday. Good score dude!
 
Jerd, How do you get away with working on the car at the apts? Or do you even work on them there? Lol

I don't, I drive 3 miles to work or I hit up friends to use their driveway/garage/shop etc. it's kinda sucky because it leaves me feeling rushed to get it back together so I can drive home. I'd love to have a garage of my own but I don't let not having one stop me.

This. Hate that feeling. Would much rather leave my car in pieces for the amount of time I so desire.

Need any part time shop grunts? Lol
I'm new in Portland, a loaner, no friends. :-P But my family keeps me busy enough. :omg:


Oh yeah, almost forgot, slick ride sir! :cool:
 
I hate to be a negative Nancy but the j pipe will most likely hit the motor mount a and cross member.

Car looks great. Gotta love red 944s
 
Lol... at my college apartment complex I helped with three motor swaps. Two of them we just took one engine out and put the other in. Both were crappy 240sxs. The other was a bronco which we pulled out, dropped into a pickup bed drove, drove around back through the grass, and dropped it off at the porch where we re sealed the whole thing. :lol: ...oh college... where brains are rarely used.

Nice car!

Looks like someone's warmed up to the grandpa series. I wonder why. Actually I know why. It's my fault :-P
