V55 CS Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Your 850 is very nice, the rims are really beautiful. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Über855R Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Stoked! I always liked your show threads. Looking forward to seeing what you're going to do on this one. Is the link active ? I came up as broken when I clicked it. I'm sure you will be seeing more of those show threads again eventually. Although I'm thinking more about kill videos in the near future. cool, chicks with high heels again threads. :tup: , get that thing back on the show circuit. welcome back. I miss the car show days, skimpy dressed girls on volvos really makes me happy. Damn, your wagon is amazing. Can't wait to see the built motor all finished up too! Thank you! I can't wait either. I was actually wondering what happened to you/your car a couple days ago. Welcome back, car still looks fantastic. I'm back finally. Thanks for thinking of us. nice job on window vents, head also looks nicely worked over Ah, you mean tints. Yes they are rather dark and sinister R'ent they. Beautiful Car, looks like a nice engine build too. Your only a few hours away, it would be great to see the car in person when its all done. I'm going to be so happy to drive it I might just drive to you when it's ready. Your 850 is very nice, the rims are really beautiful. Thank you, I'm pretty sure those rims are the most expensive thing on the car. I love them! Although after all the problems the level ten transmission might compete in the cost department.

Über855R Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Here are a few more pictures I just received from Cj. I can't wait to get this thing on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survolvo Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Looks good, it will be a blast when its done. Hopefully the trans will be all sorted out. Gotta come down the coast when its done. I really want a ride in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Über855R Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Some more progress on the motor for those who are interested. Custom modified oil pan with baffles and added capacity. Custom Oil Drain and water feed/return lines for the Garrett turbo. I personally think this is the cleanest aftermarket turbo plumbing I have seen on an 850. Cj Yother is really outdoing himself on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Are those EGT ports on each runner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Über855R Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Are those EGT ports on each runner? Yes. Although unfortunately they don't do me much good not having capability to tune each cylinder individually. The manifold came off an s60R race car and was ported and customized by Cosworth. If I run into problems they could be helpful for diagnostic purposes if that becomes necessary down the road. Still, it is kind of cool to have them.
