Picked her up, not too shabby at all, some silly jobs to be done and PCV thats about it.

Volans have been coloured in dark anthracite, which is nice.

Its a really funny thing with me, wife has a good job and pays all the bills, but i might have nothing one month, say £500 then like last two weeks i've taken home 4k.

I really can't say what im gonna earn, so i just spend it when i get it before she does. I think were off to Hong Kong at some point, she beat me to the cash that day lol

[Volvostorm]

[Kingsford G]

I can`t join everyone saying nice looking car `cos can`t really tell much unless washed polished and good pictures taken but I`m sure it is tho as wiv all that love to volvos I don`t think u`d buy a rubbish well saying rubbish,no volvo is rubbish just some of them not loved as much as u do.Great respect to ppl like u mate I hope to have another volvo soon

[dalhousie2008]

It's not as mint as all that could do with a new or repainted bumper, and silly things Pcv, def have buckled or out of balance wheel. Boost presure isn't enough either, thinking hose split but I'll put on my rip kit

Well she`s not new so that expected and I`m sure u like doing those bits and pieces as thats volvo lovers fun lol u know black is nice

[dalhousie2008]

It's just an honest 850r that's 17 years old, mind full Volvo history up till 150k then serviced till now at home. But for a cheap everyday car bargain. Trying to work figures out on a red 855r at mo.

[Kingsford G]

U have red 855?

[dalhousie2008]

U have red 855?

Possibly, if I can work something with seller, if not then ill wait for next to come up.

[BIG G]

Good looking car!

[dalhousie2008]

ahhh just had fun today, had a curious lack of boost on the way home.

So i had a look at intercooler hoses, found a nice big hole, so replaced the whole set up with the RIP kit off the red 854

Boost was about a third of the way up, so i bunged on the rica 304, boost was about half to two third.

Finally i swapped over the BCS and now yes i have the full mac daddy!! all the way to the end.

Actually quite nippy.

[p fandango]

did you notice the difference with the RIP kit?

[dalhousie2008]

I have only been around the block, but yeah she's nippy.

Now for the FVCKING brakes
