Hi!

My name is Niko, i live in finland and desided to tell you a litle of my project and dailydriven. But first I want to apologize for bad English.

The car is -95 volvo 855 t-5r, i traded it about 3 month ago for my ex 855 t5. Its a 2.3 litre with manual transmisson and a litle bigger turbo. Heres some pictures when i bought it.


First mod that i do the car was another set of wheels. I decide to use my old winterwheels. 8,5"&9,5x17" corvette saw blades with 25mm adapters in the front, and 30mm in the rear. 205/40 and 215/40 tires. At the same time I also put the order some coilovers.


Coilovers arrived at the next week, but in the same day one of the oil cooling pipes broke down and all oils spread along a country road. Half a mile with oil on the roud.


It took a week before I was able to repair the car. After that a changed the coils in the car with a litle modified.


Next step was the summer wheels&tires. These are oz futuras, 9"&9,5x17" with 205/40 chines tires.






Last owner was some patent pete, and thats why the engine wasnt anymore in a good conditition. I decide to take the motor out of the car and renovate it. Another reason was that a broke the oil pan. Every conrod on the engine was twisted. I order new h-profil conrod's from bsr. At the same time i renovate the entire engine. I also paited the motor. At this stage I am now.


Next week i going to put the motor back in the car, and try to wash it and take i litle better pictures. I have a purpose to acquire air suspension next fall, will see. I desperately need a new paintjob, and get some 18" wheels. Feel free to comment
