Price drop! $5,500 obo. Need to get rid of it a little faster than originally intended.

Rare Volvo 850R Wagon! This is honestly one of the cleanest and unmolested Volvo 850s you will ever come across. Completely bone stock with the exception of an aftermarket stereo and 2 10" subs(will be removed prior to sale, based on prospective buyer and final price) I have the original headun...

It's about time to replace my tires on the R and I am trying to decide which ones to go with. I currently have the Bridgestone Potenza RE050's on there and I would like something with a little better treadwear. I do not want to go with an All season tire primarily because I would like to keep this c...

My front rotors have started making noise when braking after they've been warmed up so I have decided to replace them along with maybe the ceramic akebono pads. I have brand new rotors on the rear and I will probably be putting akebonos on the back as well to have an even shade of dirt on all wheels...

How is the braking power/feel compared to the original pads?

Front brakes are starting to make a terrible noise when warmed up so I am assuming its time for new pads and rotors. However I am actually quite happy because the amount of dust on my wheels is ridiculos! I have read about the Akobono Ceramic pads, does anyone have any experience with those? Obvious...

I'm with you, Koffin. I've had a couple big American V8s with their off-the-line necksnapping torque, and they're fun. But you never get more than whatever throttle you give them. The disproportionate throttle to thrust of these Volvo T5s, and their sound and wind-out thrust in gears 2-3-4 is just ...
