940t observations and of course more questions 900 1995

Now that I’ve been driving the 940t for 10 days a few observations. This thing needs bigger swaybars. My 240 has very little body roll and my S40 is very lowered with a coil over suspension and a few other suspension tweaks so that thing has no body roll. The 940 is like driving a Buick. With damn good brakes.

The 940 is like evil fast. Not necessarily quick but more like bump the cruise up to 95 and let it go. 22.2mpg on my first tank and 22.8 on the second and I have a pretty heavy lead foot. Think I’ll throw in a boost gauge and start playing a little bit. The exhaust from the cat back is in tough shape so when I replace I’ll open up the diameter a little bit and eliminate the resonator. More boost, more power and I can test the brakes more often.

The headlights ain’t cutting it. I’m in deer country to the tune of seeing a couple hundred deer in the fields around me isn’t anything unusual. Have I mentioned how good the brakes are? I’ve been looking at converting to euro headlights. I see I have another plug coming out of both headlight harnesses and is bundled up and tied off. I haven’t really looked closely but what is this other plug? For foglights? I don’t have a front foglight switch and so am wondering. Or are all 940s wired for euro headlights and the DOT headlights combine hi/low into 1 unit leaving another headlight circuit unused?

Until my next set of questions concerning tire/wheel sizes....
