TFM - 855R The Red Devil MK2

[Martin-t5r]

Nice car mate hope you are happy with her nice to know its gone to a good home, lee is sad to see it gone, me too tbh, there's a big void in my shed now. The mte was copied and converted to a ttu file, I have the exact map on my laptop as well as a few tweaked versions, I ran with same setup as yours before I went to my current setup, afr's where consistent and safe on my aem wide band

who's lee? why was this car not advertised lol

[Martin-t5r]

Lol lee is a friend of mine who isn't on the forum, he kept this 850 dry stored at mine as it was his pride and joy and only used occasionally when the sun was shining. It never got to be as far as being advertised as Nealevo enquired about some parts on my breaking thread and I mentioned it would be coming up for sale soon if anyone wants one
It is a really nice example and hope you are happy with her mate

Many thanks
Martin

bout time u was in a volvo and wot away to come back with an 855R manual with lots of nice bits and good bhp best col red and dk grey in interior looks very nice mate do not break this one please

Indeed, definitely the need to come back properly... its taken a while but I think this is the right one!

If there was a like button - I'd press it

Cheers Dave... remind you of Big Red Volvo's???

good to see your back with an 855 R , if you get any wobbles I want first refusal, mate, cracking motor.......like very much

Itchy feet, I'd love to say I wont but I know me however this one is here to stay.

Bitch....jealous

Hey you've had your fair share, now its my turn! lol

Can you keep this one rubber side down please!!!

Oh believe me I intend to! And by the way it handles I think even I might struggle to but metal to concrete... or tarmac if your roads are posh!

My first thought when seeing the pics was "F*** me thats low!" lol

Looks good mate and a 97 850R, can't get much later than that.

If your ever nearby, feel free to pop round, not seen you in a while and i'v not been in a fast volvo for ages now ;-)

Cheers Liam, yep its very low, both the front and rears sit in the arches and there is no gap. After a little tweaking however the coilovers are now set just so as that the ride is firm, they dont bottom out and that the wheels don't rub the arches either.

When I next fly past Ill definitely pay you a visit, of course mate... no trying any maps you may have though!

Pleasure to meet you Martin! Thanks for storing it, fingers crossed ill see you at a track meet sometime next year and see what that T5-R is made of.

Nice Colour TFM, I bet it starts better than mine

Back on the ramps today to fit the RIP kit and replace all VAC Lines... also cleaned up the dizzy cap and fitted a set of Volvo plugs.

Remaining to do is fit fuel filer and ill probably order a new dizzy cap and rotor arm too, no need for HT leads though as a set of genuine s were fitted in 2009.

Also breathed life into another Volvo!

No mate, no fade and no lacquer peel. There is literally two scratches and that's it.

I have to agree on the colour, the old 854R looked the nuts when it was clean and polished.

i used that t-cut red polish and it came up stunning, enough to make me a 450 quid profit anyway lol, i met that bloke jon in guildford as he had lots of my v70r stuff off me for your old car

Oh really? Nice chap Jon, glad your parts will live on. He now has two red 854R's one auto (my old one) and a manual!
