Up for sale is a very rare 5 speed manual transmission 1996 Volvo 850R. This has been my sisters car for the last four years and she loved it but her family is expanding and she needs a wagon to fit everything. She bought the car with 230K and at that time it had a leaking rear main seal. Since the transmission had to come out my sister said she wanted to put a manual transmission in the car. Since i have done 6 manual transmission swaps them before this one it was a quick and easy conversion. I used a good transmission and all the necessary parts from a donor non turbo 1996 850 that had 140K. I put in a brand new OEM Volvo 850R clutch and bearing. I also replaced the axle seals rear main seal and anything else that need replacing. The ECU is from a 1998 T-5 S70. The check engine light is on for the air pump and barometric pressure sensor. I know someone who passed the emissions test for my sister so i never needed to get it flashed out. These codes can be tuned out by sending the ecu out to ARD tuning. Eight months ago the car lost compression on cylinder 2 which was a burnt valve. I took the head off replaced the bad valve replaced all the valve seals and reseated all the valves so this wouldn't happen to any other valves. I also replaced all the upper engine seals and all the gaskets. I also cleaned and replaced the breather system. I also installed new spark plugs wires cap and rotor. The timing belt was also replaced at this time. All the parts used were brand new OEM Volvo parts.The engine runs great doesn't burn any oil or coolant. The transmission shifts smoothly and the clutch engages properly. There is a small oil leak from the cooler lines or the breather box. I didnt look into it because she is selling the car. The suspension and steering is in great shape and doesn't have any play or clunks. I have replaced quite a few things in the front suspension over the years. wheel bearings control arms tie rods spring seats ect... The interior is in good shape not everything works as it should. the headliner is saving because someone before me drilled a hole in the roof to put an aftermarket antenna in the car and it wasn't properly sealed. it has been resealed but the headliner was not fixed. The body has its fair share of dings and scrapes but it has never been in an accident or had any paint work. I do not have the original rims they have been sold because my sister was tired of replacing blown out tires. Please email me with any questions or if you want to come see or test drive the car.

Volvo already planning road-going V8 Supercar?
Sat, 15 Mar 2014After decades of cat-and-mouse battle waged between Holden and Ford, Australia's V8 Supercars series has expanded considerably. Mercedes and Nissan both joined the grid last season, and Volvo has followed suit this year. So when 2014 championship kicked off earlier this month in Adelaide, everyone was watching to see who would come out on top.
The answer is Holden, which took first place in all three of the weekend's races. In fact the General Motors division locked out the podium in the first and third races and took first and third places in the second race, letting just one other manufacturer onto the podium the entire weekend - and that was Volvo. The Polestar S60 scored second place on its first race weekend, beating all the Nissan Altimas, the Mercedes E63 AMGs, the Ford Falcons and most of the Holden Commodores.
Now that's hardly winning the championship, but it's a very solid debut. And that point was not lost on the people back at headquarters in Sweden, who are already thinking about making a roadgoing version of the race-spec V8 Supercar.
Volvo pranks newest valet on the Italian Riviera
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Being a valet on the Italian Riviera seems like a pretty sweet gig for a young guy. Not only do you get to watch beautiful people coming and going all day and night, but there's the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a plethora of exotic sports cars. Of course, being responsible for those expensive vehicles has to be pretty nerve wracking to get used to on the first day.
In a new commercial, Volvo pranks a new valet at the San Remo Casino to see how he would handle a surprise showing up on the red carpet. If the look on his face in the screenshot above doesn't show it, he's pretty shocked by what he sees. We don't want to spoil the reveal, so just watch the ad to find out. Afterward, if you're interested in the details behind how Volvo made it happen, you can check out a short, making-of documentary, here.
Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Volvo may be better known for turbo fives and inline fours, but in 2005 it launched the XC90 with a new eight-cylinder engine built for it by Yamaha. Fast forward to this past June when Volvo announced its intention to enter Australia's V8 Supercars series, where it would compete with the likes of Ford, Holden, Nissan and Mercedes-AMG. This is the engine with which it intends to do so.
Revealed this weekend at the Sydney 500, this competition-spec powerplant is based on the same B8444S that powered the XC90 and S80 (not to mention the Noble M600), but tuned for racing duty to be shoehorned into the new S60 touring car. The 60-degree aluminum block has been bored out from 4.4 liters to 5.0, its compression ratio boosted to 10:1, modified to run on E85 bio-ethanol and its redline increased to 7500 rpm. Volvo also promises a unique engine note from its new racers.
While Volvo and its racing partner Polestar haven't released official output numbers, regulations call for outputs between 620 and 650 horsepower - in any event, a whole lot more than the 311 hp it produces in stock form. (Noble managed to squeeze that much out of the same block, but that required twin turbochargers while this unit remains naturally aspirated.) Scope out the details in the press release below and the photos from the reveal in the gallery above.
