#volvo 940 turbo

[things-about-cars-in-posts]

[Context: this comment in the Volvo post]

here's the deets on the volvo. i had one of these but it was stock. it was also AWESOME.

Fuck, now I want THREE of these.

I don't see mention of an AWD conversion in the article tho, has he done it after thi- what is it? Oh, why I would want three. Yeah that's a fair question. So, well, I want one like that, obviously, and as for the remaining two, well: For one, I've had this project I nicknamed "Rice 'n' Shine". (Rice as in the automotive term for tacky, low-tier garb stapled onto a car to emulate cooler cars, which people claim to stem from the acronym "Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements" because saying the term originated from this style being applied to Japanese cars sounds kinda racist dunnit.) A way to celebrate and showcase the creativity that can be found in the car world, to create a spectacle that lights up people's day and, hopefully, sparks someone's imagination. Basically, the core idea is going through the car's every component and go "what is the wildest, most absurd, most miles-out-of-left-field shit I have ever seen done with this component... and how can I outdo it?"

For example, the exhaust. Remember that crazy Subaru Vivio Bistro I posted at the end of the transfem cars post? (How's that for a sentence most people will not say, eh) Well, I've seen crazier. Because the bosozoku style keeps on giving, there would be too many pictures of crazy exhausts to show, but worthy for the longest time the title of most outlandish exhaust to ever grace my eyes has been held by this picture.

Thus, here is a sketch from my ’17/’18 school diary of how I would do the exhaust on this Volvo.

Of note are the transparent shapes on the lower half, which would be the bodykit. See, of course, the Volvo should have a bodykit, right, and of course it should be quite the outlandish thing. Yet again, bosozoku to the rescue.

(And I've seen people more ignorant of bosozoku culture call bundle builds like these with "rice", but at this point the word kind of starts to lose its meaning. I mean, defining this years-long effort with the same word as the people who put whistles in their exhaust to pretend they have a turbo (real thing btw)? And also, it very much stretches "race inspired". I mean, fuck kinda racecars do you think the Japanese had?

Hm. Fair enough.) But the idea there was, instead of having the exhaust stick out of the bodykit, to have it within the bodykit's width, and when it gets to the edge of the exhausts it just... stops, to only keep going when there's no exhaust again, creating all those shapes that stick out the fenders like horizontal scale skyscrapers. However, given the idea is to make it out of acrylic so its entire profile can look like these little side skirt accents...

...it could just be inside the bodykit, as it would still be visible. However, I noticed literally as I was writing that I can't both have the exhaust not stick out from the bodykit and have it go over a rear wheel that sticks out as far as the bodykit does. So how's this for an idea: what if that one wheel just doesn't? What if that one wheel just stays narrow? After all, it's not like the Renault R4 didn't just fucking have one rear wheel further forward than the other.

Because of course it's the French. And you know what? They're right! Why the fuck not? Nothing can be forbidden when you recognize no God. Trade nudes with your professor. Oh, and also, those little circles in the corner window are outward facing speakers, so you can do the whole "car plays music so loud I hear it very clearly from a distance away" without getting hearing damage. So those were three ideas out of the several dozens I have. I should probably make an MMMM-style list once I'm done with that.

Either way, the second idea is more performance-oriented, but do not take this to mean it's any bit more serious. See, as shown by this picture from the article, Volvo engine bays have tons of foolishly empty space that could be filled with more cylinders.

I'm far from the first one to wise up to this, so much that you have multiple people who make mounts and bits for those ditching the stock engine in favor of an LS V8. But I don't want the 5.3L LS. I want a 4.0L V8 (like Toyota's 1UZ) to stick two turbos to and bring it to 600hp. Why specify specifications so specific, you may ask. Well, because 4.0L, eight cylinders split into two cylinder banks, two turbos and 600hp is exactly half the specs of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. So if I just put another identical engine in the trunk to power the rear wheels... Basically, this.

Oh, actually, here is the best meme of this sort I've ever seen:

It's not just the quality of the picture, it's that this is Caterham camera car (Caterha car?) is real...

...and that this is not a meme, that is actually the car that filmed the Chiron video. Well, the 'lower speed' parts. The other one was another Bugatti. OBVIOUSLY.

For years, I've wanted one of the boxy, rear-wheel-drive Volvos. However, because society has largely stopped making cars that people actually want to buy, moneyed hipster youth are flocking to these same Volvos with the passion of the converted. You'll see 240s, 740s, and even the rare 940 wagon at your local car meets, often slammed on bags and restored to a level of mechanical and aesthetic quality that your humble servant cannot possibly hope to accomplish what with my diversified liability streams.

Still, the deals do occasionally arrive. Every so often you find a 240 sedan that's just too damn haggard for the common man, and even too much work for a dedicated Instagram account to pull out of a swamp, tow to a mechanic, and pay the mechanic to repair. For the money, they reason, I could just buy a nicer condition one from another province. And yet, this one was here now, and it somehow had arrived in my driveway. How exactly that occurred is a private matter, to be kept between me and my deity of the moment.

This, my friends, was a 1982 Volvo 240DL with what appears to be some hee-haw's attempt at jamming a miled-out Ford 302 vee-aight into it. Actually, the 302 has been upgraded, because with the addition of about thirty pounds of rat turds, the static compression ratio has at least a point or two added. Nothing a pressure washer can't solve, or, more realistically, some burnouts, a change of underwear, and the newly-minted "Platinum VIP Pass" to the local pick-your-part junkyard.

In the end, I couldn't hold onto this dreamy little brick for very long. With the valuations as insane as they are currently, one of my neighbours noticed it was sitting on my driveway. For the minimal work I had done to tow it home, I received a pretty substantial amount of cash. My hope is that one day I'll be reunited with that same car, perhaps many years down the line when the hipsters have moved onto something else, like the first-generation Dodge Caliber. There's no chance I'm gonna want one of those, with their ugly interior, inaccessible starter position, inexplicably slow and heavy turbo-charged AWD option, and... cooled glovebox? Sweet Jesus, how much are those things going for right now?

Volvo 740?

Yes, yes, yes and yes!

(Okay, technically none of those are Volvo 740s, but the 940 was just a small update of the 740 and the 960 was the same for the 760 which was a slightly more upmarket version of the 740, with the 4 and 6 standing for 4 and 6 cylinders in the 7 series, connection that got more tenuous with the 900 series as the 940 got 6 cylinder diesel engines and the 960 4cyl petrol ones).

Also, like Paul Newman I say extra yes to the 740 Turbo (especially in wagon trim!).

To me, if a car has an analog clock, it is automatically cool. If it has an analog clock and a rev gauge, it's automatically very cool (for the unaware, analog clocks were often used to fill the rev gauge's spot if a car had versions too cheap to even include it). If it has an analog clock and a boost gauge, it's some real connoisseur shit.

Hence, a 740 Turbo is a guaranteed lip bite whenever I stumble into a cheap one on Marketplace. Speaking of which, I remember it serving me an ad for a 740 hearse (not much different from the standard wagon, I must say) that tempted me a whole lot more than a 30+ year old hearse had any right to, especially considering it would've given even more character to my Rice 'n' Shine project (see fourth yes).

Theo như SalonsOto được biết, VOLVO 940 (1990-1998) mẫu xe Volvo 940/960 được giới thiệu vào mùa thu năm 1990. Đánh giá xe Volvo 940 mới thay thế cho 740, không chỉ thế , vẫn được sản xuất dưới dạng chiếc 740 GL cơ bản. Động cơ xăng 4 xi-lanh hoặc turbo-diesel 6 xi-lanh cung ứng sức mạnh cho Volvo 940, giống mang 960.

Volvo 940 cũng tung ra một số tính năng an toàn mới. cùng với người anh em sang trọng 960, dây đai an toàn ba điểm quán tính được trang bị tiêu chuẩn cùng sở hữu tựa đầu với thể điều chỉnh ở giữa ghế sau, báo trước 1 bước ngoặt trái đất cho các tính năng này. Hơn nữa, một ghế con nhỏ tích hợp được tích hợp vào tay vịn giữa của ghế sau có thể được chỉ định như 1 tùy chọn.

những lớn mạnh này và các vững mạnh an toàn khác đã mang lại cho loại xe phổ quát giải thưởng quốc tế, khác lạ trong số đó là "Giải thưởng An toàn tuyến phố bộ Prince Michael" và giải "Xe tự động & Động cơ" cho những tính năng an toàn tốt nhất.

Volvo đã là nhà cung cấp ô tô nhân thể nghi hàng đầu vào thời khắc ấy , nên việc đưa một cái ô tô 940 vào chương trình sản phẩm là điều hiển nhiên. Bất động sản 940 không ít đã trở nên huyền thoại như bất động sản 245/240 tiền nhiệm, cùng Lúc cũng là dòng Volvo dẫn động cầu sau rút cuộc (cùng mang chiếc S90 / V90).

Khách hàng có nhu cầu tìm hiểu thêm các dòng xe khác có thể tham khảo tại mua bán xe Volvo 940 để tìm kiếm cho mình một con xe phù hợp nhất.
