TFM - 855R The Red Devil MK2

[The Flying Moose]

12/12/12

First Update!

Purchase day, the Moose returns with yet another Volvo... this time a 1997 855R Manual. To stay, this time I mean it!

So the spec:
-16T
-350CC Injectors
-M59 Gearbox
-850R Clutch
-MTE Map
-Turbo Tuner USB ECU
-Electronic Boost Controller
-Gaz Gold Fully Adjustable Coilovers
-Polly Bulkhead and top arm bushes
-Ferrita 3" Downpipe
-100 Cell Race Cat
-Ferrita 2.5" Cat back system
-302MM Front Conversion
-Carbo Tech XP8 Front and Rear Pads

Currently Running 282.1 Flywheel HP and 332 Ft Lbs of Torque, so quite healthy.

Future plans:

Bigger turbo and injectors, coupled with a ported Manifold and 3" TB, RIP kit and Ported exhaust manifold should do the trick... but lets just see.

First things first though its had an oil and coolant service today to keep it fresh and will be getting new plugs in the morning.

Please excuse the rubbish pictures but below are a few until daylight.
