    Wink just been given a 940 classic 2.4lpt ummm track car project??

    Its got 130 miles on the clock so still young for these, just had a service, runs like a dream, question is apart from the obvious of strip it out weight wise and fit maybe bigger turbo and mbc some wheel's, {or maybe a drift car}

    what can i do to it to make it go like stink? i realize it would need nice suspension setup brakes ect..
    aint there a fella called smithy who did a saloon 940?
    what was the results?
    advice tips and encouragement please its an ugly looking beast to spend much wonga on but rear wheel drive is great fun, and its my first rwd.
    oh! and its an estate lol {or maybe a drift car}

    Smithy does seem to know alot about these cars, he's been giving me advise on my pending 960 project. I read something over on the VOC about a place that was selling uprated cams for turbo'd 940's, give's a massive improvement too. Try having a look over there and also on Turbobricks...
