My first drift project. Volvo 940 estate. Advice and ideas welcome.

Finally got all the bits together needed to make sure we're starting from a good base..
Full gasket and seals kit, head gasket kit, timing belt, tensioner and water pump kit.

Then after a bit of digging and research i got these few bits:
Genuine 850R sachs clutch kit, m90 release bearing and b230 spigot bearing. Also a new slave cylinder as they tend to get hairy..




TTV lightweight flywheel made to take 850R clutch..




BC racing coilovers all round..



Due to lack of time I've given the car and all the parts to Mike at Deane Motorsport but being so busy with the drift season he still hasn't managed to get at it..
He has however put aside a motec m4? ecu and has plans for changing the ignition to a coilpack setup and running gtr injectors as well as many other things i had never thought of and honestly don't quite understand. We've found someone local with a full extra lock kit fitted to their 940 so my buddy with the cnc machine will hopefully be reproducing them for me in the new year also..

Changed my mind on the styling too, gonna most likely go a bit crazy with arches, chassis mounted bgw and big fuck off drifty wheels but can't find insiration besides this one..




All i can do now is play the waiting game, hope to have some updates before the end of january..

Merry christmas to all!

Do you mind me asking what sort of money was the clutch and flywheel? Have a 940 myself and wouldnt imagine the clutch will hold up too long doing drift days

Think it worked out at around 350 for each. Worthwhile as a longterm upgrade tho..
