Wanted: Volvo 850 T5-R

I very much doubt it- trying to put that down via the front wheels you would be still trying to get it pointed in a straight line from the previous traffic light...

591bhp with front wheels drive
i'd save the £ 1000 for new tyres !

Front wheel drive??! Fucksake.. they're not even real cars.

Having said that a friend of mine from school had a Toyota Corolla (typical hatch).
I think it was running a supercharger and fucking NOS kit! So the story goes.
He could change lanes just from the torque-steer. Fuck that.

The search is over!

I am now the proud owner of a 1996 Volvo 850R.

It's the manual, and an estate, also red which makes it go 30% faster than the same car in any other colour as is well known.

Downside was that I had to go to Aberdeen to get it, but the scenery was nice at least.

Pic?

No cable for the phone!

I'll try to do something involving emailing them to myself from the phone, hang on.

Forgive the rubbish nature of my phone.

I quite like those.

Nice one! Lookin' good, all you have to do now is rattlecan it black and job's a good 'un! :)

Glad to hear you got one, like yourself i've been a fan of those, and a few of the other golden age BTCC cars, hope you enjoy it, i'll keep an eye out for you doing this:

It was going to watch what is pictured above that has made me want one ever since!

It really has been a case of "one day it will be mine, one day". Friday the 2nd of January was that day.

Now I can transport a large number of bikes and people in comfort at high speed- I'm off to the "Lets Offroad" thread...

Finally got around to cleaning the car- thanks to all the SE crew who helped out.

That's beautiful, Neil... I want a ride in it! :]

These are going in shortly, they won't lower it as it still needs to get over sleeping policemen, but the damping is fully adjustable.

OSTBC

Slack timing belt =P

What you need is a black plastic splitter to take the abuse of speedbumps. Then you can have it scraping the floor!

Exhaust port:

Inlet ports, one worked over the other still to do:

Shiny!

More shiny!

Camping:

more room in the car

By some margin. We now have a three person tent.

Are you doing the valve seats, 5 cut valves?

Port matching to the inlet and exhaust?

Yes, yes and yes.

larger throttle body also.

Nice car, good head.

Got to get a useful car, looking for an Alfa 156 sportwagen as I like garage bills.
