Pix of my first Volvo....

[Ade]

This is quite a departure for me as I've always been into modified (and usually impractical) old Fords and Italians!

But ever since the '94 BTCC I've had a quiet fondness for the 850....
So here we go, my new 850 T5.

[AndysR]

Looks like a tidy one, you seem to share very similar car taste with myself. I see your looking to fit a towbar and perhaps get it remapped? Do you have any other plans for the car? How do you find it so far?

[Ade]

Getting tints done on Monday.
Thinking maybe a bit of lowering, a set of Titans, maybe a splitter and spoiler.
A tow bar would be handy for the track car, a remap is tempting, but I should really keep it as standard and reliable as possible as none of my other cars are

Quite impressed so far. A few niggles to sort, but my main grievance is the bloody smell of dog that the last owner left in it!

The last owner was a dog? LOL

Seriously though, nice tidy car there bud, looking lovely. And hopefully, it will do you proud, reliability wise.

i wouldnt worry about a remap making it unreliable, mines on 220k with a remap and in the process of being supercharged.
By the way, that's a realy nice looking 855

I agree, with a car in good working order, there should be no problems with ANY of the standard off the shelf maps.

Would chipping it give much of a gain? How much we talking? Both power torque and cash!
(Oh yeah and MPG difference on boost!)

from a pussy cat to a tiger, hlm remap £150,

economy actually went up on mine.

[The Flying Banana]

Looks tidy and unusual colour No sunroof too, wish mines was like that, a re map will give you more economy aswell so its worth it really and does make you smile when you have to press on

[JelT5]

OK, I know I'm treading on shaky ground here, HLM remap is a Rica "clone" what Emlyn has for sale is a genuine rica ecu

I was thinking the same, nice wide angle lense by the looks of some of the images.
