Hi guys, in a nutshell, what are the main differences between an 850R,T5R and T5 and can my 98 V70R auto keep up? She's quick and does all I want but chose an auto for the mileage I do.

What basic upgrades could get me a bit more poke, 20-30bhp maybe? I don't want to kick the arse out of it!

A 2000 R AWD manual would be nice one day!

Sorry, I'm sue this has been covered before but going through all the threads, I get easily confused...!

Great link, thank you! This forum is so easy to get lost in!

So performance wise, mine does 143mph and 0-60 in 8.1secs.

In terms of basic mods to increase power by 20-30 BHP, what does anyone recommend. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, just spice it up a bit.

Remap it from somewhere like MTE or Rica. Simple easy plug and plug power.

you can pick up a second hand ecu for 850's £75-125, just check its compatable with your car first, there is quite alot of cross over with them though

Yes similar but not from them, seen that kicking about for a while I just wonder why it has not gone.
