Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
It is a 1993 850 sedan. I believe it has the Touring package as the only options it lacks are: a power passenger seat, a spoiler, and front fog lights. The interior has heated blue leather seats. It came with the "Cetus" wheel on it and a set of OEM steelies and hubcaps with Gislaved studded tires. RIP 10/2/2012 :'(

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
The previous owner installed the IPD poly upper mount, and it vibrates a lot. I am not sure if the other mounts are upgraded. I've added a K&N air filter.

Suspension Modifications:
Stock, needs strut mounts. It is VERY clunky over bumps.

Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Stock "Cetus" alloy wheels with a mix of all season tires. Stock Volvo steelies and hubcaps with studded tires.

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
I installed an inexpensive Jensen stereo with HD radio. I removed the dash tweeters and replaced the front door speakers with some Pioneer speakers that I got for free. The rear door and deck speakers are still stock. I lined the stereo pocket with maps and plan on lighting it. The previous owner installed a blue cupholder to the driver's door panel with six screws. Which works way better than the weird center cupholders, but I feel bad that the doorcard is no longer stock. Power antenna switch out of a 240/700. Recovered the headliner in grey and the pillars and upper trim in blue vinyl. Read more ยป
