I read somewhere that the 924 & 944 have the same engine->transmission bolt pattern as the Audi/VW 2.0 5 cylinder & volvo/VW 2.4 6 cylinder diesels. That's an engine swap that could make a cool commuter car. There's a guy on the VW diesel performance forum that got 185ft lbs out of his 5 cyl 2.0 diesel, on vegetable oil.
