Brandon Brenaman, 1995 850 T5R (yellow),rip kit,cat delete,straight thru muffler and boost controller set at 15 psi. Two best times were [email protected] and [email protected]. Made it to the semi finals (6 cars left) but heat soak got bad and even though I had the best reaction time of all my runs (.168) I could only manage a 16.268 which wasn't good enough. Got a trophy though and had a great time racing and checking out other cars ,especially the volvos.

I was at bandimere yesterday and was super impressed by the volvo line up. I saw that penny color s70..... real nice.

I had no idea brett was there. I have actually had my car at denver volvo specialists for some work.
Maybe next time i can take my S60R out and play.

Great job everyone.

"It all started when we noticed Neighbor Down the street from us had the car sitting in his driveway for quite sometime, and my dad finally asked what was wrong with it and why it was there. The guy said it was a friends car, it didn't run right, and he was going to take it to the crusher. My dad told him he'd buy it, and the actual owner literally gave us the car. We bought a 91' donor car for $500 and put that motor in it and fixed everything that didn't work. After some poking around on the internet, we found the performance side of it all, and the result is what you see.
mods are a 3" turbo back exhaust (we built a custom 3" downpipe)
a turbo smart boost controller (16 psi)
gutted the airbox
cut the coil springs a little

Best time so far is a 15.84 at 86 mph at Bandimere speedway. The import Tuner event is the first time the Car has been to the dragstrip! We had no Idea what it was going to run."
