what model?1990 model or 1985?
i have 1991 model...940front
go buy a 740/940 turbo h.cut...change engine if your engine not good...u can take dashboard from h.cut...rebuild back your uncle 740...really means machine...good in performance also comfort...
even it has small horses(165bhp) but it can chase 200bhp++ japs turbo car without any problem...try it..and sure u satisfy...lot of volvo mechanic at kl..if u wanna do project..go to rs impressive at sunway...

bro...do u have pics?i'm interested

fardell83 · 11-02-2007, 01:37 PM

U asked me?? Obviously i enjoyed riding in ur stock standard 740 Turbo at 170kmh....bear in mind it is done on the main road heading towards kangar......hehehehe.......to some people the horsepower may not be of interest among carlovers as it only churns 165bhp but the torque was immense and i can feel the g-force..

orangebmw · 11-04-2007, 01:41 PM

now i have done top overhaul and turbo service...the respond feel much better than before...
