Picking this up tomorrow for 1K. Dude hit a deer, the shop told him 4K to fix it so he said fuck it I guess. It needs a hood, grill, headlights and headlight trim.
Anyone know anything about these? I did some research and didn't find anything bad. Should be a pretty sweet driver. Wiki says 250 hp :noel:. I guess these were only offered with an auto in the states. The previous owner of this one converted it to a 5 speed.

I love those bricks! I'm sure hotrex could make you a manifold for one.

Lots of info there. It's a T3-flange inlet (usually with a circular indent), so if you can fab & fit a custom DP you can run many t3 turbos. $1k is tits for that, and it's already a 5spd. Good find.

Jealous. I want a 5 speed swapped 850R bad.

You want a Volvo from when Volvo's started sucking? 940/740/240 or die.

he could swap an auto to 5speed, but couldnt put a hood and a headlight on the car?
good pickup tho. too bad its not a wagon, would be awesome :noel:

Sounds like my brother in-law. He is working on a phd in chemistry. I was plumbing my hot tub heater and he was talking about what the chemicals are doing and shit, but if I asked him to plumb the heater he wouldn't have a clue.

dump a set of chinese h-beams in it, throw a 50 trim on it (or your flavor of similar sized turbo), get a turbo tuner ECU, rock out with 400whp (stock pistons are good to around 500whp according to the swedes)
-
Looked up the Ecu and they are claiming it takes it to 285 HP. I took it down the road and it scoots pretty fucking good.
I bet it also sounds terrifying in the way that only an inline-5 can. Nice pickup, regular 850 body parts should bolt right up to it if you are looking to just get it looking presentable again quick. Then again the difference with the R was most likely just the bumper and grille in the front. Its not like the 780 I saw for sale that "only needed a tail light" (a tail light that would be stupidly difficult to find).
