Looks good but can't you stick a volvo badge on? Cars never look right without a badge imo. Though thinking about it a badge wouldn't look right on that grill, who knows.

Great sound! :thumbsup:

 

But I'm not sure... Is it FWD or RWD?

the sound is nice indeed :cool:

 

Sadly it is FWD, which is the only negative thing about it. I cant even imagine volvo 850 with RWD, sick.

[Andreas¹]

Yep.. Aren't all Volvos FWD? Around here, I don't think RWD cars are so common, except for German cars..?

[HSVxSEXY_TIME?]

you should do what the maker of the busbil supra did with a volvo 240...i think it was 240 anyway...

 

TT it and give it about 500 BHP, then make it rear wheel drive...

:D

uh.yeah..what's up? looong time since I've been online in here. Alot of changes has happened in my life, (including getting kicked out of my house) so I havent really had time to update anything :/

so yeah, I have a couple new videos uploaded, including one from my old bimmer (rip).

And I have bought US side blinkers which I'll get in a couple days i think

 

will look like this

 

 

and a grill just like this one without the "R", sent from owner 2 days ago.

 

 

I'm also gonna get one of these soon

I just have to go to sweden first (cheap)

 

 

and here's some new videos, I'll try to embed them (me=noob)

comments are welcomed with open arms ;)

Mod edit:Please don't embed more than 2 videos, Thanks!

[Andreas¹]

Nice, I like the spoiler you'll get :D Where in Sweden will you go? :cheeky:

 

To embed youtube videos, get the coding after v= in the url. That is 8Bv7rbcSgTw for the first vid. Wrap those in [*tube][*/tube] (without the stars) and you get the video. ;)

 

Btw, wow, that 0-100 is fast o_O

thanks for the help!!! :D

I'll go to Östersund, it's like right over the border to me :)

 

 

you think it was fast? :) well, maybe it was...it was hard to shift while holding the camera :p

[Bolt]

Man im jealous. :cry: Worth every buck for the sound alone. The 5-cylinder Volvo 850s and Audi 90/100s are my personal favorite sounding cars...Its a smooth ear-melting sound that fills the spectrum. :drool:

My dad used to have a C3 100, the only thing that comes close to the awesomeness is the 850. You know, its like that grunt someone makes when they hit a punchbag really hard or do a serve in tennis. Kinda like its trying its best. You don't get that urgent character with a lot of supercars, just a splurge of what sounds like loads of power.

[Immelmann]

I always loved how safe and well engineered Volvos were, and it looks like you have a pretty nice example ;)

[Jacob]

I Will get my learners because of this car. Kerwoot i can because im 14!

[scaleopdriver]

Hey, I havent updated this thread in a while and shame on me :( I also want to say a big HI to the people I've got to know in here. What's happened is that I've mounted US-blinkers and I've bought a R-spoiler, but the spoiler needs painting before i can mount it.

A bad thing which have happened since the last time I were here is that my clutch is literally broken. I'm only able to use 1-2 gear, on downhill roads i can use 3rd gear. So I'm gonna change clutch tomorrow :)

Anyways, I took some late winter photos which I'd like to share with you guys :)

[scaleopdriver]

A little update, a lot have happened! Installed Xenon kit 8000k, mounted and painted wing and replaced the broken light in the back.

 

Some pics of how it is now, will sell the car soon. Also compare with the first photos in this thread to see the difference.
