Thanks for the nomination guys..... 850s are such a classic looking brick. Took me 3 years of searching and not settling for just any old 850 in order to acquire it. It does have a speedtune stage2 ecu, Anthracite Volans on Yokohamas AVS2 tires and a Prosport boost gauge.

Man those Volans sure are pretty on that car. If I can find a decently priced set of Volans when the time comes, I would like to get some for my wagon.


Good luck. I like how we have two generations of Volvos too, keeps it interesting.

In all honesty, I think Volans are great factory wheels! They make the car better visually. Comets also look great! I think my next set of wheels on the 850 will be 2010 S80 wheels. Either Venator in Anthracyte

or
Fortunas

Wow thanks for the Nom Guys I’m honored!! I'll get a few new pics on this afternoon.

This is the first car i have ever owned that after almost five years I am still absolutely in LOVE with. That being said here are a few of the things i have done... It all started with the EST cat back, than I got the BSR stage 1 tune, 3" evolve down pipe, K&N typhoon intake, Evolve sport springs 1.5" drop, IPD rear Anti-sway bar, Slotted and drilled front rotors From Breakplanet.com (rear coming in the next few weeks), EST blacked out sport grill, and mostly debagged I left the Volvo across the trunk lid. I currently have Borbet 16" rims (nice but nothing special) New rims and tires to come in the spring! maybe something along these lines.

Anyway thanks again guys!!
