Rangers are lush! Bit of a a shite colour match though.

I read on an Instagram post that the door sheet metal is thinner in the race car. Someone found some TWR NOS doors built by the same Volvo production line but with thinner metal sheets.

Would like to see what’s done underneath the car like suspension and subframes

Waiting for the rally car video 🤞

When I started to learn to drive my family had a T5-R. That car got traded in for an A6 very rapidly after I discovered what happens when my right foot goes to the floor. I miss that squeak-filled rocket to this day.

They used the same engine as the t5, 2.3l but they stroked it down to a 2L due to regualtions.

Nice one! What is a brand of the white rims?👍

Watching with interest :) you will need a new exhaust with a cat I think to get through emissions and a remap. You also need door locks I believe.

im looking into going full btcc wrap or repaint it, love my 850 t5 1996 i think the btcc wrap is going to be unique here (1/1)

👉 Read the M1 manual 👈 it details lighting requirements. From memory yes you do need side lights. As you have said You also need a lockable fuel cap, you also need to round all exterior edges off on the car to 2.5mm rads. Your probably going to need to do the same to the interior to get it through, nothing on the dash can stuck out more than 10mm. Don't forget you need window demist. That lambo is going to be more difficult, the head lights and tail lights are quite obscured when standing on the corners of the car, you need to beable to see both, the M1 manual details the angles. Also check all your 'glass' polycarbonate, it needs to have E marks or dot markings. Lambo rear needs arch liners, and the exhaust tips need rolling to remove sharp edge 👍 hood pins on the front of the 488 needs covers. The 488 is going to be easier from what I can see 🙂 I am looking forward to seeing this 😎

I have something simular I need to do 😂 the challenging part is rounding all them edges off without damaging the originality. Also my track car has almost no stearing lock with 12" wide wheels on the front 😆

Yesss mate 💪 This is what I want to see 😍 fantastic vid😎

Impressive! Restoring a Alfa 75 its difficult not to make DTM ’87 copy…

Wow what an amazing collection of touring cars . I’ve just bought a 155 for a project. Absolutely love them from my youth . My first ever job was working in a Fiat/Alfa parts department too

Cool to see these race cars 😍 Keep up the good work 👍 I just put the V12 in my project 😎

Bronze Apache’s look good on that. I’d probably have gone bronze brake calipers too.

Anything that’s not stock just looks naff to me.

Dressing a mutton as a lamb . Gopping horrible load of unreliable junk

Where can I get that nudge bar?

Could you please go into some depth of the workings of the suspensions and engine mounting that makes this car so special

The only real trickery the TWR did was the cutting of the head, that was a brilliant 'interitation' of the rules. lol Nic eto see some current Volvo content, cheers! #5cylindersordeath

Is that the wonky cylinder head car 😉

Raptor all day. Much more fun and reliable

Can't beat a p80 volvo t5. My c70 coupe gt t5 is 436bhp 590nm. Kills most modern shiyte.

The Vauxhalls had a reversed cylinder head just as impressive as this volvo

No need to reinforce stainless steel round bar and paint it. Pickle and paste the stainless steel to prevent rust and it will look like a million bucks. 😊

No change. 90/110 are faster and handle better especially the ones with air suspension

It would be interesting to show the transmission and how they managed to put the engine so low and back

Just amazing, can't wait to hear this legend!

People are conflating the 1980's ETC Volvo 242 run by TWR which were a 80% (or something like that) replica of the real car.

So a non turbo :) ...the real deal

Was it re shelled when it went from saloon to estate and back I wonder, I think I herd a rumour somewhere that the pistons may not be round, Look at that Volvo go and room for 7 inside! Murry Walker was the best.

YES<>>>> fck'n Hilarious.... VIVA LA MOOSCHE !!! OVLOV POR SIEMPRE

I really like the bronze wheels, I think they break up the black on black superbly. If funds allowed I would definitely be knocking on your door. I'm looking forward to seeing more, great vehicles & video content.

FYI It’s T-5R 👌🏼 😂😂😂 nothing at all in common with a stock shell BTCC car.. 😅😃 Nice to see the optional rear spoiler on the 855 T-5R 😎, shame it’s had a set of v70 rear light fitted though.. 😒

They just bent the rules

Machines, fixtures, programming and tooling have come a long way since the 90's. Printed sand casting cores are now a thing for low volume castings. 100K up from 15K to do a head is the most ridiculously obscene statement I've heard in while.

I spoke to someone who was once one of the Queen's Constables, he said 2 tanks of fuel per shift was usual for the T5 on motorway duty 😂😂 The glory days of the BTCC ❤. Its still good but it was better when they had manual boxes and cars were closer to the road versions. I also loved the V6 Mondeos ❤❤❤

No. Alfa Romeo did & Audi gave no one a chance with a 4WD car against FWD cars.

G'is a job.

i have never heard that the 850 was a different size. the gearbox and engine head on the other hand. the S40 sedan on the other hand was cut down the midle and widened. i tried to by the rydell car back in the day. i did not manage to get the money tho. it was like 20 000 USD att he time lol. wish i had it today.

Worked for the TWR Volvo British touring car team 97-99 happy days.

Ofcourse the Mondeo had a Mazda v6 engine turned 90 degrees with the driveshaft turning between the heads😂

Where is the radiator relocated to?

Trick

Can I ask is that ta rallycross fiesta super on the rack Ex David Binks car

Beautiful cars 😮

The red prototype car was on sale here in Sweden/Örebro 10-15 years ago for about 299 000 sek. Then with a rebuild turbo 5 engine with about 420-430hp.

I had a 2l 855 -96 ...The 20v versions, were mostly for Italy , except the turbo . The 10v, had 126 bhp and the 20v , had 148bhp , but maybe they upgraded some of the underpinnings, because of the racecar .

Had the pleasure of owning a 850T5r had the spare seats in the boot. Good old times 7 up doing 100+
