    You could call me unreasonably excited

    1997 850 GLT (2.4L Light pressure turbo, 190HP stock 6PSI max) - manual swapped (M56H), S60R Injectors (Greens), OBX catless exhaust, tune, and a manual boost controller @ 10PSI.

    Cosmetics - black trim, 18x8 Pegasus "R" Wheels, R bumper coming soon.

    Fun fact: my parents bought it brand new in 96 and it has been in my family since. I bought it off my brother a few years back and decided to give car modification a try (the picture with the engine bar is from the manual swap).

    Press F to pay respects to the blue 96 850 GLT that lost its life in a rear ending that donated its M56 to make my car more fun.

    Thanks man. It's definitely a financially stupid idea for me to be keeping it alive, but I love it more than anything else.

    Can't give away something you really love

    This car really starts to look better and better! I can't wait till it's in the game with a nice color typical Volvo color on it. Love it :D

    Or the Navy Blue.
    Or the really RED color.
    Or just your generic white.

    For the interior, give @OverPower a LOT of interior pictures and a couple weeks, and we should be golden.

    I think 150+ detailed pics are on my google drive still from when Kyle Harbor was going to be making an 850. I can link you that.

    Also, the 97 GLT has the boost gaugeless gauge cluster, but it has a 190HP turbo engine.

    Looking pretty nice so far! Seems you have quite the motivation for this, which is a great thing to see. Hopefully the same thing will be true when it comes to JBeaming ;)

    You should make a version with the Angel Eyes. It looks nice imo.
