Ok, I know this is a Honda/Acura forum, but since there are some serious AutoX'ers here I thought I'd search here for info. My cousin has a 95 Volvo 850 (non-turbo) that he wants to AutoX. Anyone know of a Volvo forum that he can reference for info?

Volvo's are off the hizzy:




Sorry for the huge pics.

 

what year, model is that volvo? that is a very sexy car.

 

I forgot the name of the owner, but I autox'ed with him a few times in Central Fl region. Here is more info than anyone would ever want about the car off GRM website:

I'm DYING to take my wife's car out for an event.

Unfortunatly, she says negative

 

Early 850s have notoriously poor wheel bearings. I'd scrutinize these before any motorsport activity. Ask me how I know....sigh

 

http://www.swedespeed.com is better than Brickboard for the WWD (wrong-wheel drive) bricks


Splat, who likes Volvos

 

go for it... there's a guy here in CT that has a volvo 240 wagon, gutted, no glass in it, no headlights, only tail lights, and a 302 under the hood...

122 Amazon.
The Volvo 120 Series known generally as the 'Amazon'. Half a million were built by Volvo between 1956-1970 and gained a well-earned reputation for toughness and longevity.


I auto-x'ed my old 242GL, 244GL, and my current 242TI.

I think the 850 would be a little more of a challenge with the FWD... but you can auto-x anything (even a Yugo).

 

Oh wow...My grandmother down in Paraguay had a car exactly like that. Even the same color. Only differences I can see are the the MPH speedo and the lack of a column [manual] shifter. That was a damn good automobile that lasted a VERY long time.
