It maybe a T5 which means that it will do 156 mph

well it has got a turbo, but only connected to a b230fk lump, which means it only has 134.1 bhp and will unfortunately only manage a measely 118 mph.

err , its RWD , and it has around 230 hp running 1.2 bar boost .

and those are banded steels i made myself .

the inspiration was a VW show in wagerem , was some cool cars there .

as the brief posts have alluded , its confusing since nobody has seen anything like it !!

keep it clean tho guys .

that show may have rekindled my interest in v dubs .

don't you lot know your volvos,

that white estate is a 9 series, either a 940 or 960 GL or GLE and is rear wheel drive.

The bright green one is an 850 T5 which is front wheel drive with a 5 cylnder turbo engine. Th police used these. It is not an R as the wheels are wrong.

I had a white Volvo 460 1.8.

Bought it on 120k, ran it for another fault free 30k miles.

Until I came to sell it. I disconnected the battery to charge it. The car immobilised.

Also, in a freak occurence, I closed the bonnet and a headlamp shattered!

£600 later at Volvo and it ran again.

I never made it look anything like the one pictured though.

doh, im just going from what dvla say about it.
so is that 230 from the original engine(b230fk), or have you dropped another lump in there?
you made the wheels, nice.

. but how?
never judge a book by its cover...
