Taking Weight Out of 850 GLT
#2
rear seat pads weigh a little, you could try taking out cd stackers, if you have, empty glove box, center console, take out heavy floor mats, light weight rims?
speakers if you want, and don't need, magnets can make them heavy, etc.
good luck!
Don't know what you're disassembling for but power door/window motor and arms weigh a significant more than manual consider a swap if possible?

How do you significantly increase power and lower an XC without spending money? Drifting an AWD requires lots more power than for a similar weight RWD, so the XC better have more than a larger cat-back exhaust, such as bigger turbo, full exhaust, tune, and maybe different injectors. Then drop a new suspension into it. Oh, snap, I just spent so much that I should've started with an R!

Not necessarily. The AWD on Volvos isn't 50/50. We used to have an XC and it wasn't to difficult to throw the back out on it. And yeah, a straight up RWD will be easier to drift with than any FWD/AWD Volvo. But this is all besides the point, we're arguing about drifting a FWD/AWD car here, which is nonsense. Any 98+ car is pointless for drifting. You have to go 200/700/900 for a drifter.

We finally got there.
I have a co-worker who owns a Honda Civic and as he puts it...he is a Drifter. I laughed because if you understand the concept of Drifting, its a controlled spinning/steering combination. Attempting this in a front wheel drive car is simply skidding out of control or E-Braking as we used to call it many years ago.
An 850 is the wrong car for this (Civic too)
