Nice car ansd very underrated. Used to have one (W685TBF two tone green)when I was a slip of a lad. Made the mistake of trying to clock the 0-60 time and burnt out the clutch on my first day. Then got spit into a hedge when it came 'on turbo' going round a damp bend. Happy days!

Me too, had one some time ago, XVU66X metallic burgundy colour. Great "Q" car as 99% of people think they are a bog-standard 924. As for increasing power not got many ideas but at that time the next car "up" so to speak was the 924 Carrera, basically a 924 Turbo with the 944 front flared wheel arches and tacked on rear wheel arches. Had wider track/tyres etc. and also an intercooler for the turbo, plus I think ran a slightly higher boost pressure. Have you tried Autofarm? They know a lot about tuning etc. Good luck Rich...

I found that swapping to Dunlop D7 (state of the art in those days, suppose they are considered crap now) made a diffreence to mine in the damp/wet - I guess, not unlike the TVRs they are sensitive to different tyre types. Rich...

If your 931 in an S2(with an ecu) you could try Mark @ Owen developments, they do a product called 'unichip' a piggy back programable ecu.

This gave mine about 205bhp and much nicer to drive( I also had one on my supercharged MX5 and have just booked the Chimera in for the same)it's about £400 including set up
