What kind of rear spoiler is that?
I have never seen one that thick.

Anyone in Texas ever do the LS1 conversion to the 944 and get it to pass State Inspection?

Anyone know how the insurance companys will look on the conversion?

I'd love a PM or a response because my 944 is really just sitting in my parents garage and needs to enjoy the road once again.

OT, but heres some pics of my buddies recently completed volvo




crazy project- on the 3rd run out, at 7lbs boost and a conservative reflash(almost no timing advance), he went 11.90 at 124

Tony,

OT but what sway bars and links are those? I notice the front link appears adjustable.

Coming from the land of the Volvos I don't like them one bit... but I have to say, that is one cool wagon!

J-HY.... HOLY SH*T!! A twin-turbo, 'vette-powered Volvo wagon with a severely upgraded chassis... I'm in love!

Could you PM a link to some relevant posts on Turbobricks? I somehow missed this one (I haven't been on there in a while, mind you).

Wow!
