I need to get another 850... Good luck finding a good example in Ontario, they're slowly disappearing off of the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, I've looked casually since I wrote mine off in 2014 and can't find anything I really want I'd take another N/A but ideally I'm in the market for a turbo wagon with a manual which is near impossible even when they were more prevalent I'm wondering if somehow, someway I could import one Edited January 26, 2018 by ruecatinat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, alright alright. Thanks! It'll take some time to learn the whole P2 game after being in only P80s for so-long but excited to try something new. I'm stoked to have so much space to haul stuff again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say leave it stock and enjoy - all the new stuff past 2000 (my old V50 included) was too computerized to me. Great fun if you have ViDA (which I do) but I couldn't even swap out the stereo head unit. They're great, advanced cars compared to the P80s but not worth messing with. AWD should be great in this weather we're having! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWD should be great in this weather we're having! For sure. The yellow is the one for fun. This wagon is going to stay stock, minus for a few visual things. I just want a comfy, fairly reliable daily for hauling things and going on road trips. I'm also pleasantly surprised with the audio it has now. Right now, the only things I really want are tint, and I'll probably throw a set of 17s on once the current tires are worn out. I'm actually happy with it being spoiler-less too. Yeahhh, I had a little fun with it during the storm we had on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... shit happens. Pierce Street Downpipe, TurboSocks Intercooler Resonator Delete, Cone Filter, SXTH Intake Breather Delete Kit, eBay Catch Can Pierce Motorsports Rear Torsion Bar, GodSpeed Springs ,TurboSocks Rigid Collars, 15mm - 20mm Akata Spacers ProSport Boost gauge, Grams wideband Still needs a real intake and tune.

caanglin Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) I hate the community around the car. It's just a bad as the local BMW community but in a sadder more try hard way. The BMW community here is a lot of E90 335i bro's. All doin' it for da gram. I got it in the middle of last year. I use it mainly for long work trips. It turns out an E36 M3 on coil-overs, 18's with R-Compounds, a Corbeau bucket seat and topped off with non functioning AC sucks on 6 hour drives.

quiksilver Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Mounted a staggered winter setup meant for a Lexus IS; 225/45R17 fronts, 245/45R17 rears mounted on 17" cassiopeias. Oh, and put a C70 convertible subframe with front 'V' brace and new passenger control arm. Mounts up perfectly on AWDs. Might be the result of bumping a curb at 20km/h... EDIT: 245/45 is no bueno, don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
