I need to get the Lil out and clean her up, but here are a few pics of her just after I rebulit it from the ground up.. It was my first car and will remain in the stable forever.
Prof said:My first love has long been this 1997 Volvo 850 R Sport Wagon, the sleeper of all sleepers. I was the original owner, it has nearly 150,000 miles and has never had a major problem. On the Volvo forums it is referred to as "Prof's Brick".
I have flashed the ECM, added a 3 inch IPD Sport Exhuast and Downtube. It has Bilstein shocks and struts all around with M&H lowering springs. I have changed the stock Pirelli P Zero's for GoodYear F1's.
It dynos just over 300 hp at the "front" wheels on five cylinders that are inter-cooled and turbo charged.
This is a "station wagon" that presents real problems for the WRX and EVO crowd...![]()

and there are some Mustang GT's that have limped into parking lots asking "what the hell does that thing have in it? It turns quarters in the mid-13's.
Next is a new T18 turbo, and reversed inter-cooling and probably water/meth to bring the intake temps down as low as possible, and some bling for the engine compartment...I also want to bring the rear end down another inch...but will have to cut the springs to do that.
I love this car...let's see your other rides....
