In April I went over to Belgium as one of my friends (JC Viggen from youtube / on here) decided to break his car. I bought his intercooler, reverse flow IC piping, modified radiator mounts etc and 850R boot spoiler..

Heres lots of pics of the parts being fitted :



My friend Barry starting the long task of removing the complete front end



Spoiler off, not a good look!



New spoiler on the left





New spoiler on



New intercooler from Jan's old car



Bare front end



New IC in



Some reverse piping on



Slam panel back in



Looking a bit more complete









Finishing touches!





Done!

A selection of pics from Saturday when we finished fitting all the parts.











And finally a selection of pics after a quick polish today.

Thanks for reading, comments welcome.

Nice  

The 850R rear wing is a nice touch, but I guess you'll feel the benefit of the IC more

So did Jan decide to break the car after his head gasket failure at the 'ring?

Thanks, does seem a fair bit quicker!

No, he last used his car in November at the ring and then hasn't used it since so decided to break it. He had offers for the full car but it was worth more in parts..

Cheers Lee. My aim has always been 400 bhp with the handling and brakes to cope. Ive done the handling, next is brakes, then more power..

[leet5r]

Hi Kerry

Car is looking very nice I have to say!
Mine is nearly done! but will be in need of a full respray as the years have not been so kind to mine, As they have to your's
I now have Porsche set all round using the Big Black 928's for the front and Cayenne rears with S60 R disc's all round, but you would have to lose them lovely wheels if you want them to fit!

Looking Good

Cheers Greg

Sounds good. probably about 260 - 280 bhp. Might get it rolling roaded soon..

Cheers, maybe - the estate spoiler looks great as it is. If you have one?

What brand is the spoiler?

It is genuine Volvo, it comes standard on 850R saloons

Many thanks for the compliments. I didnt measure it, but there are no spare cm to fit a bigger one in there. The slam panel and radiator brackets had to be modified but luckily they all came with it!
