Oreo931's 850 T-5R. Couple new things!

I've been on here for a little bit so I decided I would make a member journal. I dont think many people on here like Volvos, or care about them, but I am going to make a page anyways.

Just a little bit of background on my car. It is a very rare model + color that was imported into the U.S. in low numbers. I believe there are only 3000 worldwide. I know for a fact that there were only 180 imported into the U.S., and around 40 or so have been totaled or parted or w/e. This car has a 5 cylinder engine, ~240 hp (stock), and comes with a Mitsubishi td04hl-15g turbocharger that runs ~10.5 psi stock.

I have gone through a lot with this car. I've been through several engines (before finally having mine built), 2 transmissions (before deciding to do a manual swap), and a bunch of other stuff. (see below)

Here are my current modifications:
