Will Our "$850" Volvo Survive The Proving Grounds? - The 850 Project S2E01
►In Season 2, Jacob and the 850 return to take a proven concept and build on it, creating the ultimate track wagon. Removing a ton of weight from the interior, adding chassis stiffness and motorsport-grade safety equipment, upgrading the braking artillery, and turning the 2.4 RN into a fire-breathing BTCC monster, Jacob and his Volvo set out to create the sights, smells, and sounds of British Touring Car in the 1990s.
Following a full season of building up his $850 Volvo 850, Jacob and the wagon hit the FCP Euro Proving Grounds to shake down "The 850 Project" for the first time, before heading back to the drawing board to make it even faster. How will it fare? Tune into the rest of Season 2 of "The 850 Project" and watch the 850 and Jacob's driving "level up!"

First? So excited to see Jacob back in action along with the rest of the team, and the 850. Can't wait for the rest of Season 2!!!!!
My 1995 855T was my favorite of five Volvos I've owned. Ran over 250,000 miles before I ended up selling it due to transmission failure and the dashboard breaking loose. I'd put new suspension all the way around, new headliner, fuel pump, complete sunroof, fresh T-belt, water pump, brake rotors, motor mounts, etc, etc, etc. Great cars, just got to the point where more was needing attention than I had time to give and I DIY everything. Bought an '08 V70 3.2 for my wife and an '07 C70 for my daughter.
Yes! I just bought an 850 Turbo wagon a few weeks ago, partly influenced by this series. LFG, Season 2.

New to this (your) 850 project... I guess since I just bought a manual, 1996 850 sportwagon myself, i'm all ears and eyes here. First question, what exhaust set-up are you running? I don't see anything, performance gaining-wise, on your site. But, i'm looking forward to this series of 850 vids--and backtracking of course--but sorry in advance if you mentioned the exhaust in previous videos, as this was my first one!

Hi there J! We think you'll love your 850! In Season 1 of the 850 Project, Jacob briefly touches on his very..."custom" exhaust setup that you hear in this video. However, he'll be changing things up a good deal in the coming episodes. Stay tuned!
new tyres need to be driven in though for about 500km.. If not they may last shorter and slip alot in the beginning, since there is always a fresh slippery layer on every new tyre.
Paint it white and stick the Securicor/Omega BTTC livery on it! 👍

For those out there that do not know. Adding larger brake rotor to a front drive car cost you HP.
