Firetruck....Pics By Reid
Posted 18 Sep 2009
I don't remember if I put these up or not, but in case I didn't, here they are. Reid didn't get any full shots of the car, but I'm posting up whatever he took...





Car is still for sale! $17k. -
1995 855 Turbo-M
Posted 21 Aug 2009
Um. If I can get $17,000 for it, then it's yours. You get all the crap laying in the garage too...some HID's and other stuff...nothing major left.
Car is a beast...runs PERFECTLY. There are no leaks or noises or anything wrong at all. It comes with Turbo Tuner ready for you to tune, along with all the other ridiculous mods I've done. The body work alone is worth the price of the car, and maybe even slightly more.
You know what you're getting. The only bad about it is that I haven't got the speedometer working...should be a simple wiring fix...or you can swap in my original 1995 harness and plug it into the speed sensor and call it a day.
The car has 160k miles on it, but the engine was rebuilt completely about 2.5 years ago. The engine has about 3k miles on it...it hasn't been driven much. M56H shifts like butter.....all OEM Volvo replacement parts....not much old stuff left on it....sensors sans knocks are brand new.
I'll post more details in the next 24 hours. The car is located in Dallas, TX, and it garaged. I wouldn't hesitate driving it cross country. It won't give you any issues...unless you're a retard.
Engine: 1995 HPT 2.3L I-5 turbo fully rebuilt with forged china rods, wiseco os1 pistons with coated skirts and valve reliefs, arp rod bolts, arp head stud kit....custom oil galley windows in block, rebuilt head with slight porting and polishing, green 465cc Volvo injectors...all new sensors except the knocks...all Volvo sensors for the most part....new RMS, etc complete rebuild...new oil pump, seals, water pump, t-belt, serp etc. Garrett GT35R turbo with 4" anti-surge inlet and Tial external wastegate. Racelab Fabrications Downpipe, custom Racelab oil and water lines, custom intake with proper piping, custom RIP kit. 3" A-tech clone intercooler, Forge dual piston bov....S60R manifold ceramic coated and ported and polished. custom bored intake manifold to mate the 3" NA throttle body to....powdered black....the valve cover for the head is painted black....Champion RC7YC coppers properly gapped, with Kingsborne wires...all new rotor, cap, dist, etc...
Transmission: 1995 M56H...shifts as smooth as butter...new bearings, Quaife LSD installed....basically a refurbished M56H with LSD and speed sensor....Euro Spec 850R clutch kit...all new bolts for flywheel and clutch....carries OEM Volvo gearbox oil
Interior: Custom unisuede perforated seat inserts with unisuede headliner and matching trim from a 2000 V70R. Extremely clean interior...new 850 OEM floor mats...no stains....just the normal slight cracking on the door handle trim, and of course the rattle associated with these 850's....Euro 850 Yazaki speedo with QBM trim rings and red LED lighting.
Gauges and monitoring: 3 pod a-pillar with Autometer Cobalt D-pic, electronic vac/boost with MAP, and wideband. Greddy Spec B II electronic boost controller, Greddy turbo timer that needs rewiring i think...not sure.
ICE: 7" in dash DVD/mp3/XM Jensen unit works beautifully....11" overhead XOvision monitor with separate built in DVD player and IR headphone capability...front can watch something separately than the rear, or everyone can enjoy the same thing from the front player or overhead...many options, and still an input left for a gaming console or something. JL 10w7 in a generic 10" box which is pretty small for the sub, but hits tight, clean bass....it is run by a RF 1001bd 1000watt mono class amp. front doors have infinity Kappa 5.25" and the rest are stock...there is an extra RF 600watt 4 channel amp mounted cleanly in the trunk which is just begging for some kicks or higher end speakers...had it running my kicks before I sold them off.....the 7" in dash has a toggle switch for the DVD player also...all wiring is Knuconceptz...there is a distribution thing under the panels in the trunk...and there is a 1 farad capacitor hidden in the back also.
Body: customized completely....red 601 paint which is great condition, but if you look closely, you'll find some chips and peels....prep wasn't as good as I wanted, but it looks great and I'm really picky. shaved doors with poppers on all 4...trunk still has key hole in case of emergency. custom welded "flat" hood....Erebuni side skirts and rear custom molded and fabbed. Widened fenders. custom V70R front bumper to fit the 850...fits like stock with OEM grilles and fogs....I have the 850 projectors in there right now. HOVA black jewels and corners with custom E55 hella projector retrofit ala Mike. rear 855 wing with brake light...painted black. black painted roof rails with cross bars. black painted trim handle on the trunk...i want to finish off the black accents, but I don't have the time now....custom fender cutouts with mesh grill...non functional, but cool....SAM sidemarkers not wired, but can be easily done
Suspension: KW V2 coilovers with QBM endlinks, IPD front and rear sways and delrin bushings....newer control arms, spring seats, bearings. OMP red strut brace....good design
Brakes: StopTech front brakes with SS lines....I have OEM brakes in the rear
Wheels: OEM Volvo BBS Nebula 18x8 wheels in great shape with no bends or repairs...very minimal rash if at all....fronts are spaced out 10mm and rears are spaced out 25mm...I'll also throw in the extended bolts I have laying around, with a set of 5, 7, 8, and 15mm spacers I have made by FK and H&R....fronts have wheel stud kit. Current tires are Ceat Tornado 225/40/18...have over 50% tread left all around.
Exhaust: Racelab Fabrications downpipe 3", Magnaflow race cat, and custom dual exhaust with Magnaflow Race Series mufflers at the end...sounds MEAN and runs great although the right gets less fume than the left....design fault obviously.
ECU: Turbo Tuner....comes with stock manual map and "performance" manual map...both run great....you have a USB port under the dash on the passenger side to connect your laptop to and tune....pretty darn easy
Other: Brand new evap core, compressor, accumulator, and A/C sensors....A/C blows cold thanks to Aaron at Racelab Fabrications....20% tint all around...17" Mille miglia spare wheel and tire in the trunk...clears the BBK IIRC...but if not the spacers are there anyway....will throw in a brand new low profile aluminum race jack by US General
The Bad: speedo doesn't work....you can swap back my original 95 harness and plug it into the speed sensor, or you can wire something up to get it going again...no big deal...my 95 harness is already pinned for manual swap...so just swap it in if you desire. rattles because of the suspension, small paint chips here and there...front bumper can use a repaint
Mechanically the car is great....drive it anywhere.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but you can look at my project thread for alot of what this car went through...believe me, $17000 is a steal....shit you can part it out and make money on it...i don't care lol. -

Oakley Gascan S White Small
Posted 13 Jul 2009
I just bought these used. They are 100% authentic.....the guy had provided me a scanned copy of his Oakley receipt. I love the shape and look of them, but they definitely don't fit my face. I bought them as a backup for the polarized Fives I got, but they're not going to work. I found a set of RayBans that will do the trick.
I paid $75 shipped for them....you pay $65 shipped.
There is a small 3-5mm scratch at the very top of the right lens...way up near the frame, and not in the line of sight.
They are otherwise in new condition...come with the white microfiber Oakley bag.
White with grey lenses, Gascan S non-polarized part number 03-558
These are sold out just about everywhere....get them from me for less!
