RWD, from a 760.

Re: How to remove the back badges on a 940

Goo Gone gets most of that off but a bit of acetone and a lot of care should get rid of the rest. A medium grit compound, some polish and wax to remove the fogginess left on the clearcoat.

Dental floss or fishing line.

Re: T5 tuning problems

It's possible that your engine is running lean due to the new exhaust. Check your lambda sensors.

It's normal for torque to drop off at high RPM.

Re: Next comparison - 97 850R Wagon or 99 V70R Wagon?

When I removed the dash pad I found that it wasn't much more difficult to remove the rest of the dash at that point. The four bolts that attach the dash to the firewall are what cause most of the problems. You can get creative with ways to reinforce the dash and dash pad. I tried using some heavy ...

Re: Next comparison - 97 850R Wagon or 99 V70R Wagon?

Interesting, I just traded in my '96 855R for a '99 V70R. Overall, I like the V70R more. There's some quirkiness about the 850 that I miss but quirkiness is tough in a daily driver. The interior of the V70R is a huge improvement over the brittle plasticky nightmare of the 850. My car sounded like a ...

Re: Tasteful body kits for the 850? Anyone know?

Don't put a body kit on a T-5R.

If I had a T-5R with only 100k miles I'd probably just garage it.

Re: CAI install. Am I on the right track?

I thought about putting a NACA duct in my 760's hood back when I had that car. Pretty sure it wouldn't have made any difference.

Re: Problem with MBC

I'm kinda hoping it's a clogged cat so I'll have a real excuse to upgrade the exhaust....

I have an IPD intake, Snabb fresh air pipe, and silicone hoses throughout so I doubt it's something on the intake side. I've had the CBV sitting around for a while but haven't had the time to install it.

I ...
