It's too bad you didn't show up just a month earlier. George, the admin here, was selling his (Was the project car...check it out <A HREF="http://www.swedespeed.com/features/project_cars/854/" TARGET=_blank>here</A>). I personally have a 96 850R and love it. I did look at a couple other 850 turbos, but the R was just nicer, plus I got a good deal on it from a guy who needed to sell it. Anyway, the R has all the upgrades...240HP stock, compared to the T5 at just 220. Also, it has the suede and leather bucket seats, wood, upgraded stero, and lots more. Engine wise, it is very nice stock, and with just a couple upgrades, you're good to go. Honestly though, read that link I gave ya above. I haven't done anything yet, but I will be upgrading the ECU from either <A HREF="http://www.bsrab.se/se" TARGET=_blank>BSR</A> or <A HREF="http://www.ipdusa.com" TARGET=_blank>IPD</A>/<A HREF="http://www.tme.com" TARGET=_blank>TME</A> and the exhaust from either <A HREF="http://www.bsrab.se/se" TARGET=_blank>BSR</A> or <A HREF="http://www.supersprint.com" TARGET=_blank>Supersprint</A>. With those two upgrades, I will right under 300HP, which is when, from what I've been told, you will start having some tranny problems. I'm sorry I can't give you much more about the T5, but hopefully this will help.<P>
