Sorry guys...went racing this weekend so no work on the car yet though I did order XC90 mounts. Likely no work on it this weekend either as the race was a non-stop downpour so EVERYTHING in the trailer has to be dried out and re-packed plus back home the same storms took down a few significant limbs...

As a side note, the two Volvos racing in the near constant downpour (standing water in two of the turns) were both RWD. The 240 with a 740 turbo motor was hilarious (I have known the team a long time) because they run a welded differential. To say they were sideways as often as running straight would not be an overstatement...lapped them multiple time in 1995 Trans Sport minivan.

This would have been a race an NA 850 manual could have done very, very well at. A Neon with the DOHC 2.0 got fourth out of 94 cars with only marginally good drivers (1, 2, and 3 were very seasoned teams with well sorted cars).
