Transmission preventative / upkeep or leave be?

94 850 NA with less than 100k miles

I don’t have any transmission issues thankfully

Is there anything I should do to keep it that way?

Or is it best to leave alone?

Steady asf idle but sounds “rough” - any thoughts?

Early 94 N/A. It’s been this way as long as I can remember ( least the 4 years I’ve had and I’ve had it - and also there’s been a lot done to it. )

93k miles

In the last month I did the pcv ( flame trap was bad but the rest was fair )

And I just finished an oil change after BG EPR flush and some liquid moli lifter tick additive.

But it still sounds like it has asthma or something

Any thoughts / suggestions to try?

I woke up one morning and my binder was worth a lot more than expected

Started playing since the start and loved some of the art and cards. Some things like boa sp were cause I was running doffy at the time and it wasn’t super popular

Stopped playing around op10 and occasionally bought packs here and there and won a couple of pre releases

Only manga I ever pulled was sogeking

I know grading can potentially 2-3x value, but not sure I should / that I’m into grading like that.

I also know there are cards worth 3x my entire binder and that this collection “ain’t shit” to someone with a 10 red Luffy

I just admire it and go “hell yeah” whenever I open it.

I never expected to the value to be where it is.

Everyone seems to feel it will keep going up.

If this was your collection what would you do?

Bittersweet blue

At first it felt like “a lot” but over the last 5 years this interior color blue has grown on me so much and I love it.

But it seems like the 850 did not have this interior color option for long and was likely coming out of fashion at the time

I’ve had a search up for years and never seen a parts car with this color close to me or gutted and on eBay.

Even tho I can find people printing the door pockets, blue is never an option, and it’s a such specific blue that if I asked for “blue” I doubt it would match.

Sooo wanted to ask if yall have any sources or tutorials on how to color match and replace the broken and faded plastic bits etc

Any help always appreciated :)

Volvo 850 hidden intake manifold bolt

I’m working on the pcv for a 94 Volvo non-turbo 850. There is a bolt behind the therm house that I have not been able to reach or get to no matter how many u joints and extensions I’ve tried

Random shot but does anyone out there know what I’m talking about and could give any guidance ?

I was able to get everything off but putting it all back has been more frustrating than removing 😭
