Volvo 850 T5 Kompressor

[Super Slo Mo]

Out of mild curiosity, partly because I'm planning some changes to a car I've been 'restoring' for years without much progress, are you intending making it road legal, and if so, how complicated is it? I'm presuming IVA?

The intention is to put it in for the IVA, but if it becomes to much of a hurdle, then I have access to a recovery truck to move it about. I still haven't worked out the handbrake yet.

[claymore2k]

Well, the 18" wheels were to small, so now up to 19", and sorted out the handbrake problem with some electric handbrake calipers.





And the handbrake caliper.

You're a complete fruitcake. Carry on.

So let me get this straight...

This car now has two engines? in turn meaning two superchargers?

At what point in your life did you wake up one morning and go...

"Ya know what, i really could use a twin engined, supercharged volvo estate"

I love your logic sir.

Dont forget the two turbos.

Those rear arches are very cool! It's turning into a group B-esque estate!

I like it when volvo barges are turned into something insane.

[claymore]

Not much to update, I've made a new fuel tank, and that's about it really.

[S10GTA]

Oh my. This is awesome.

[claymore]

Awesome project! SO cool

But that fuel cell is so dangerous!

What are your concerns regarding the fuel tank?

[XJR500bhp]

The lack of firewall between you and the tank. It's just too close for comfort, in my eyes. If it goes up, it's just too close.
