Volvo 850

[eracer2006]

I want an 850, T5, Top of the range, id love full leather but half will do,

Can someone tell me which 850 T5 was 4wd (manual only not interested in autos) ? would this solve the way they eat through tyres, or just mean i need 4 tyres every other month ?

Oh and ill be using it as a bass car.

I want 350hp (RICA)

But 250 will do for now.

Where do you find them for sale other than pistonheads ?

And does anyone have any pics of modified ones, specifically on dished wheels.

Cheers!

The 850 T5 R is the AWD version I believe and was somewhere around 280BHP. My brother in law has an estate version and it litterally flies, great car in beautiful condition.

The S60R is the evolution of the 850 and I like lots.

I take it you're looking for the 850 AWD, bit of info here. Good luck finding one though, and IMO it would be criminal to start modding it. Eating tyres is mostly down to how you drive it.

EDIT: Gah, again . The 850R is FWD only and produces something around 240bhp.

If you want AWD, then you need to look for a V70. The 850 isn't AWD.
The 850 T-5 is 240 bhp, and the 850R is 250 (manual) or 240 (auto).

They eat tyres like they are made cheese.

I've only just sold mine, and loved it.

A Rica remap alone won't get you 350, but with a few other choice mods you will get there easily (although not cheaply).
