Can You Make A Volvo Even Safer? - The 850 Project S2E03

►With the weight gone and suspension dialed in, one of the most crucial pieces of the 850 Project puzzle was making the car safe and secure.

Until now, there have been two major problems with our Volvo 850: the steering wheel and those seats. The stock Volvo wheel, more closely related to a boat's wheel than steering wheels found in race cars, requires too much hand movement to be quick and accurate around a track. And those seats, there's much to not like about them, but mainly, you have to brace yourself around every corner to keep from sliding out — two things you definitely don't want in a car that has its sights set on the track.

It's said that for every one mile of track, a good secure bucket seat, harnesses, and the proper steering wheel will shave off a tenth of a second per lap, and we're going to put that old adage to the test.

Follow along for Episode 3 of The 850 Project Season 2 as the team gets the half cage fabricated and the bucket seats, harnesses, and steering wheel fitted and installed.
