Can it be used on a wagon? Mods required? Emailed IPD 3x never got a response, unlike them, usually they respond quickly. Black listed for buying too many suspension parts and having them shipped to the middle of no where / NZ? :-D

**** photo but she's mine! Dreaming of one of these since before I knew what it was and before I joined this forum, very sweet car. Planning for over a year to buy a different one that hadn't materialised. This came up and boom, got it. Not perfect, but fundamentally sound and all the issues I...

I guess it's old enough to not give a flying f*ck? But would like to confirm before I remove and sell the cat out of my 960 wagon and replace it with a 3" straight through muffler. I guess the chances are I can just unplug the sensor and it'll not be bothered? But if anyone has any positive or...

How high should I lift the driveshaft centre support with these super-common springs? I have: Done some experiments with 0, 6mm, 10mm, 12mm Asked IPD what they recommend What do you recommend? What did you find works best? I could also test 3mm, 8mm, 9mm and 14mm - but didn't yet. Need to...

Hi all, When I bought my 92 960 wagon it read lower than the speed we were going by quite a bit, but it also had the wrong size bigger profile tyres on it. I didn't do the math even in my head and put it down to the tyres and then replaced them and forgot about it. On the way home from the...

On IPD the kits are listed as different depending on wagon or sedan but the bars are 25mm front/rear regardless. I have a sedan and wagon, but I want a big upgrade for my wagon more than anything, however the sedan ones are cheaper. I have never noticed any mechanical difference when spending...

Contenders are: AW71/72 (I drive 3 of these regularly and own 4, was 4/5, sold 1, no complaints, max power 153hp B234F though) BW55 (or is it 35? I have one, tag is missing, seemed to drive fine) ZF 4HP22 (a friend has one, claims it's a dog) Are any of these considered to be unreliable...

Hello TBers, if you saw my last post in my 960 thread below you saw my smashed rear glass in the 960 wagon :( I have drilled the 3 rivets out of the side trim strips and they came off easily with only a little bit of stlil-gooey window adhesive holding one end in by chance. How do the top...

The factory bushings in my early solid axle 960 torque rods are flogged enough to move quite a lot and cause some driveshaft vibration in 1st gear under load (only). I see IPD does OEM and aftermarket similar - are there stiffer/better options available commercially? I couldn't find any. I could...

I'm looking at importing a pair of IPD sway bars for my early solid axle 960 wagon but I see that they're 25mm front AND rear - to me that seems a bit on the heavy side in the rear? I know the car probably isn't neutral right now (hard to tell as it's more boat like anyway), but I feel like that...

I'm looking at importing a set of IPD lowering springs for my early 960 wagon but I'm wondering if the fronts will sit lower than the 1.75 inches claimed due to the heavier B6304 engine? Does anyone have experience with this product and how it looks/feels/works/sits on a 960 as opposed to...

By now I'm super familiar with all things redblock and 240/740/940, however this B6304 setup is all new to me. Driven the car a bit, but not really looked into the way they fit together at all. Hence a call for knowledge from those who have. Symptoms: 1) Fuel pump cavitation noise under cabin...

About 6 months ago I ordered my second and third set of Dave Barton odo gears, this time 2 sets for the 240 clusters, one was needed then and done then, and the other bound to be needed and done a day or two ago. Tonight I put the cluster back in and went for a short drive to the hardware store...

Let's start with this: Single weirdest noise I've ever heard come from a car in my entire life ~35 odd years I remember, ~25 odd driving, all makes/models in at least 10 countries. Taking 2 friends and my wife down a windy country road in the 940 wagon with a bunch of gear in the back, not...
