Re: 1997 850R wagon 855R Red/tan WI $3500

Interested in this R. Actually I was interested in it last time it was for sale too. By the time I'd gotten the money together it was gone. My old 855t is very tired. About 225k on it and it needs more money in repairs than it's worth. Just noticed your ad is from March, is the car still available?

OBX to conical flange.

Getting ready to order an OBX turbo back for my '94 855t. It is my understanding that the '94 turbo has a conical outlet flange and the OBX dp will have to be modified to fit by cutting off the flange and welding on a flange to fit the conical outlet. If this is correct, where can I source the flang...

Re: 97 855r 137k $5k obo

Sorry for all the questions, but I need to be sure. Do the following work properly: air con, seat heaters, power seats, electronic climate control. Is there a CEL? If you still have it in a couple weeks when my refund shows I'm thinking it'll be a done deal. Oh yeah, does the sunroof seal properly? ...

Going catless with OBX turbo back exhaust?

I have an '94 855t which I am either going to start modding or sell in favor of something better (855R). I live in Wisconsin where emissions testing is only required on cars 1996 and later.What complications will I run into if I go catless? I'm planning on an ARD green tune among other things. Is an...

Found on Chicago CL: 854R $2500

Don't think the guy knows what he's selling. Apparently it's an incredibly rare V5 turbo 850. But seriously, it's an 854R. Red, high miles, but looks solid. No rust. If I weren't looking far a wagon I'd be on my way to Indiana right now.http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/cto/3621269932.html

Re: 97 855r 137k $5k obo

You are causing me to lose sleep. Been planning to sink about $3k into my 855t when my tax refund arrives. Then, a week ago your ad popped up on Chicago CL and my plan turned to buying your R and selling my 855t if your R was still unsold. I now flip-flop between these two plans several times a day....

"That color is "Amethyst Metallic" code number 420," Of course it is, LOL. I have never seen one that color. Beautiful and very well bought. Welcome to th Swedish side of the Euro car scene.

Warm day = hard start.

During the recent spell of warm weather here in NW Indiana a problem has arisen on my '94 855t. In the morning with temps in the 50s and 60s it starts right up. Late afternoon after sitting at work all day with temps above 80 it starts hard. Takes about 20 seconds of cranking with it trying to catch...

Re: 95 850 Turbo, OBD2???

Yes. All 850 turbos are OBD2.
