Please don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking the Volvo.
I'm slightly more worried now, competing in a daily driver could be even more problematic. As a point take a wander round a parts store near you. Now start adding up the cost of your consumables that you WILL use racing.
Look at the following prices;
Brake pads
Brake disks
clutch plates
TYRES
Your car will need these replacing constantly.
It may seem odd to you, but your better choice might be to save up for a second car. (A light one)
If you are only doing this for a bit of a laugh I recommend getting a complete shed of a car and doing up the engine, spending some time getting the suspension working. There is an OLD RWD(British C plate) shed of a sierra going around my area with a cosworth engine in it. It routinely trounces much faster looking machinery. The look on the competitions faces is quite amusing.
