These cars are brilliant and very underrated.
My mate has had one for years (well an 850-R) and when we had an industrial unit together we started modding his.
It gets so much torque steer that it has to run TOYO R888's to get traction.
Eventially his gearbox layshaft went so we have now fiited it with a 6 Speed box from an 06 plate Focus ST.
Are you on the volvo forums.
I'll send this to him as he'll really enjoy that.

Good build bud.
