Car looks nice but i think there is know way its running 300bhp,sorry to burst the bubble and all that.

If I was selling that car as an original Gull, I would stick on a standard grille, sort the Titans, get that bib sprayed and get rid of that, ahem, unusual yellow stuff under the bonnet. Unless it has a decent history, it may get £2000 - 2500 (although without a detailed inspection it is impossible to know - it may be less). But good luck. And yes, the loss of go faster stripes is a good start (and no, 300bhp is a little optimistic - but it probably does go very fast all the same).

Car is pushing 300 bhp with the rica chip,performance exchaust/induction kit/ like i said i have had them all,i did have one of my volvo 850r saloon that was chipped to 280 bhp but this one is a beast of a t5r when you put your foot down,the guy my brother bought the car from was a hooligan owner although in his fiftys he almost ruined the cars image with the stupid stripes and the dreaded shiney bumpers,car was also very dirty and stained,the brakes were none existence but i have tried to put it back to its former glory,just requires wheel refurbing and bumpers sorting,the grill is from my collection but i do have the original one but the main thing is it drives proper you can wheelspin in 3rd gear.if it does not sell i might spend a bit more on it and put it in storidge as manual ones are scarce,it will definateley go up in price in a year or 2 i have no doubt,its a real shame about my driving licence as its an automatic one,but i a can drive a manual and might retake my test,most sought after cars are manual so its something i need to think about,my green t5r has just passed 243000 miles and it still drives brilliant i love the car to bits.these 850s are bullitproof if you look after them with regular high quality engine oil changes, happy motoring to all you volvonuts on here

Glws, Although, I have to say, saying that the previous owner was a hooligan isn't going to inspire many people to buy it, Also, the way you type is almost impossible to read.... lol

Now im not trying to have a go at you but this really gets my back up,why say its pushing 300bhp with nothing to back it up with,loads of people do it then when a chap buys the car and starts telling his mates its a 300bhp monster,he looks pritty stupid once on the rollers and pulls maybe 280bhp at best he will feel pritty peed off. Also makes my job off selling my car alot harder because i says it probably pushing near on 300bhp and then have to explain why mine is the price it is when there are loads with just a map thats pushing the same 300 bhp cheaper :cussing:(claimed by the owners) Think you need to do your homework on the power of these cars mate,alot of people (me aswell) have found out that a map alone will not get you 280/304bhp,you will need a bigger turbo or some work doing to your standard one.

Post 323285 by Unknown on 2010-07-28 00:12:25

well i am seeming to be spend spend spend on mine tho i guess its worth it due to just how rare these gull yellow t5r manuals are :D i may get a gril like urs purely for the fact its gona let alot more cool/cold air into me intercooler when its all fitted back together lol. and gona upgrade my discs and pads at sum stage too :) lots of future mods and tweaks to be made i think 1 never stops really once they start ;)

And why would i want a t5r or R to play with when the t5r is basicly a t5 with a few trick bits to the suspension and body work and interior nothing done to the engine but a few more psi for a limited time once you floor it,also the R has a lsd 16t and again body mods and interior. My motor would probably see off a remaped t5r or R and i think im probably just about pushing 300bhp,sure why dont you have a look at my garage. End of the day mate as i said before im not having a go directly at you but people in general who claim figures and dont back it up,i could easily do your math on the power figures and claim mine is 350bhp monster but i dont because 1 i dont have a dyno print out and 2 i know its no where near that.

"Also makes my job of selling my car alot harder" Maybe, but your car apart from being UNYELLOW'R' is a lot nicer...IMHO! :)

The previous owner chaved it up with neons and stripes so i bet he did rag the hell out of it. My previous Volvo was a manual t5r with a rica remap,miltek exhaust and k&n panel filter and it was not pushing out 300bhp, so prove your claims with a print out. There are many enthusiasts that share the Volvo forums who work on these cars not just selling them like yourself and all of them will tell you you cannot get 300bhp with just a remap and exhaust. You may be able to pull the wool over peoples eyes on piston heads etc but not on the forums.

Your pistonheads advert is hilarious: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1896421.htm It tells a bit of a different background to the story too as posted above. (Bit of advice - cut the word count, remove all the excuses, bullet point the important details, and remove all the bragging (PH ad) ) Then and only then may you have a better chance of selling. It reads like a blurt of incoherent rambling - this one and the PH ad.

I have owned quite a few 850R's in my time, my latest one was a 1998 car, had spent 2 years as a press car when new and was a forum car from almost new, it had a serious amount of money thrown at it, It bragged a full turbo back BSR exhaust system, remap, AP racing brakes etc, when I put it on the rolling road it was just over 280bhp, I think your being ambitious stating 300bhp but as was said before, get the printout up here and prove us all wrong.

LETS all try and make this a happy and safe forum and lets keep it freindly and nice as i have learned alot off here and many have helped me and i really APRECIATE it alot so thanks to all the partys involved. i think nobody should comment on a thread if they have nothing nice to say towards another member as really its stupid to carry on a thread full of negatives etc etc. HOPE MY POST DONT OFFEND no users on here ok :) (andi)

All we are trying to say is that your motor will not be pushing 300bhp,also to help any buyer looking at this thread. Now to turn around and say 80% of people on here dont know jack is not going to get you very far on this forum,there are some very knowledgeable people here who can give very good advise on these cars. Bottem line is you come on here trying to sell your brothers car,we try and give some good info to help you out and we get it back in our faces plus more digs at the people who dont own the T5R or R model of these cars,think you need to step back and think about the next reply you will make.

Lmao! You know what, I've had enough of this thread. Firstly, your on an enthusiasts site of people who know thier cars inside out as already said, becuase you have no idea what your talking about and we do, you go on the defensive. To say we are jealous is a joke. I've just looked through your previous posts too, it seems all you do as you have stated is buy and sell these cars. If thats the case then you need to contact me first to authorise yourself as a trader, which you havent. This means your in breach of the site rules which contributes and instant ban for that offence. However, you seem to be alright if not slightly touchy and mislead, so I'll do you a deal. Produce the dyno sheet of the car showing 300bhp and i won't ban you :) Fair enough? Thread closed please reply by PM.
