Hi guys, I thought I'd join these forums to be around more Volvo people and knowledge. I've been a member of Volvospeed (Leo850T5/Wagon Mafia) since 2007 when I got my first car, a 1997 Volvo 850 T5 wagon and instantly fell in love with it. Such a well built, practical, reliable, cheap, quick and easy to work on turbo car. Bought with 88k miles, sold with over 150K because I wanted a manual.


Carlisle 2009:



Then I bought a 2000 Saab 95 Aero 5spd, quick car and very fun to drive, but the transmission was very crunchy, on its way out so I got rid of it.

Last winter I bought my current car, a 1995 Volvo 850 T5 with a M56H manual swap, a 16T turbo, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, Ipd springs, Koni yellow shocks, Euro 850R ECU, R bumper, 850R spoiler and 850R light tan interior, walbro 255 pump and just got some white injectors that I'm going to have cleaned. Just needs a proper tune but she moves very well

When I first got it, still on the summer wheels in november lol
