After posting some pics of my car in showroom and getting some positive responses I thought I would do a propper project thread, so here goes PS photobucket wont let me resize some photos so sorry:
This is my 1992 b200ft powered 945 estate as i brought it and completly standard (I even had the intention of keeping it that way )
I have always liked cars from an early age and have modified all my cars with performance bits and peices so when I typed in 'modified volvo 940' into google and saw this site I started to get excited, especialy as i had alredy realised that the engine had potential. so i asked some silly questions and got told to 'search' and search I did ( this is now what it looks like under my bonnet )
The 'spec' is written in my sig but thats at the bottom of the page so here for those who cant be bothered to scroll :
b230fk full stage 0 + 3" 960 012 AMM, 440CC injectors, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, cold intake with HUGE K&N cone, nology wires and coil, BP7ES @ 0.28 , HUGE intercooler, 3" exhaust and DP no cat one silencer, ported 15G and manifold , MBC @ 18PSI (blitz sbcIII) , frp85's ignition chip, blitz bov
Plans for the future include: cam , headwork , custom inlet manifold and posibly a bigger turbo to make the magic 300.
heres some pics of my exhaust and downpipe I made plus the fitting of my 15g and mt 440cc injectors :
I have also added some suspension and brake upgrades they include bilstien shocks with 40mm lowering springs, a saloon rear anti roll bar, groved and vented discs and the camber and caster mod, here are some pics of the brake upgrade :
A little close for comfort ! v v v v
also fitted to the car are a set of white vigos (but you probly noticed that already the question is white or silver ?)
silver:
White:
Thats better!
I also added a few gauges, a momo wheel and a blitz sbcIII to the inside (complete with airbrushed boost gauge holder) :
right thats about it just a few more pics that might be of interest to you :
These are the dimensions for my intercooler:
This is my intercooler fitted :
another with the bonnet closed:
milage at 180000
:
And this is the newest pic of it taken after I waxed it today :
Enjoy... and comments are welcome update to come.

It's funny...of the relatively small number of people to play with chipped/hacked LH setup in the UK, three of them have been B200s, rather than 230s, yet 230s are way more common 
all the b230's are b230fk, strange.
. pics will be posted as soon as a few problems have been ironed out, but it runs. sweet. not sweet at all.
luckly there was an old grinding disc on the side so I used it.
