- Enjoy this walkaround tour of my Volvo S60R. One of Volvo's most bold attempts at a true sports sedan. This particular car is one of the most sought after S60R combinations. You'd never expect this car to be fast, as it really flies under the radar, but it will definitely upset some cars.

My S60 R is now 20 years old and has 342000 miles on the clock. She still runs as good as the day I drove her from the dealers. Best car I have ever owned other than my XC90 which now has 560000 miles on the clock.. Best cars ever.
That is incredible I love to hear it! Love these cars so much!
Wow, manual right?
Did you need to change alot of parts or?
One alternator and 2 batteries. Yes it's a manual.
@@rogercamp2910 I assume it's stock? If so how bad is the maintenance on one of these if you daily drive it? From what I've heard it will never leave you stranded but it has these small issues that needs to dealt with somewhat often - how has yours treated you?
I have a 2006 Volvo S-60 2.5T AWD, the greatest automobile I've owned, fast and safe, top notch quality. Volvo for Life.
I have an 06 with the 6spd and the attacama interior
@@dozerdave beautiful automobile, Volvo for life
Hello Roberto. Got myself a s80 from 2001 dark red. Those cars are really thought out aswell. Volvos are usually champs :)
Thank you all for the comments! Volvo's are really great cars! What an awesome car @dozer dave 1987 what color exterior do you have?
I have an 06 S60 T5 [B5254T2] engine in my 04 XC70, runs & performs wayy better than the stock engine, which the previous owner let the PCV go totally plugged up! 😑
Take care of it! I work for the volvo company about 26 years.Ik have make them about 10 years.They are the best and strongest volvo's i ever make in the factory.Good Quality😉 And the engine is so good....
So i like the video a lot.Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much! These Volvos sure are amazing cars! I love the 5 cylinder engine sound!
Timing belt kits, PCV box/hoses are the most important things to keep up on these I5 Volvo motors. Change the oil pump seals and green paper gasket while you do the timing kit, sense your in there. I have 3-Volvo I5's, one jumped its timing, so I got some work this summer. Also, I recently got a letter from Volvo saying that my 2002 S60's steering wheel air bag canister explodes when activated now, after so many years. And they will fix it for free, something you may want to look into. I absolutely love these cars. I'm very PeanutButter and jealous of your baby right now.
I agree! I put in a new PCV box/hoses recently on this car! Oh man you'll have some fun pulling apart you engine this summer good luck! 😊 I got that letter as well! I had another very rare S60R that sadly I got T-boned in and am glad I was able to walk away unharmed without a face full of metal 😂 Thank you for the love! 😏
Nice S60! I have a S60 T5 2008 and I love it too, some ppl don't know this car, but is one of the best used cars that you can buy, is fast, luxurious, reliable, amazing driving. Too good to be true
They are great cars! Glad you love yours!!
I'd love one!!! Very hard to find in Australia 😭.. looks beautiful and sounds great.
I own a 2001 S80 T6 2.8L twin turbo that has every option you could get in Australia and it has been the best car I've ever bought. Lol even the gearbox hasn't stuffed up so far.
I love Volvo's so much, the most comfortable car I've even own and has more power than all the V8s that came out back in 2001. Never going to it.
Thank you for the love! Your Volvo sounds like a blast to drive! This car the original clutch had like 168k on it! They are built like tanks for sure! 👍
Great car, a Little big though. ..
I love this car. I hope your channel gets the attention it deserves! Keep it up!
Very much appreciated! Thank you so much! If you haven't already subscribe and share the video and I'll do my best to keep giving great content! 😊
I love mine so much, I hope I never have to sell it. It brings me so much joy. Repairs can be expensive, but if you can manage it, it's worth owning. Very special car for sure
Totally agree! I love these cars!
Gorgeous car, my friend. Glad you love it - everybody should have a car that makes the spine tingle when you drive it, or even think about driving it. It's like that with my V60 GT6. Those wheels are fantastic too - the gold totally works.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! I agree, everybody needs a car that makes them smile and gives them some joy and thrills!
I had a 2005 Magic, Nordcap auto. I love that colo. It was stolen and run into a cement barn @ 50 + mp. The same night deploying 4 out of 6 airbags. They ran from the scene. I love your car, you forgot to mention the factory aero kit. I now have a 2006 S60 R Titanium, and tan interior. Auto., I have had that for four years and just hit 88k. It drives like new. Keep up the good vehicles.
That's super sad to hear about your 05 car 🥲💔 glad to hear youre back in another S60R though! Thank you for the praise and the view 🙌
I love this so much. I love this dang car man. Always will be a volvo fan. Great stuff dude!
Thank you so much! It is such an amazing car!
Very nice car man. Coolest Volvo I've seen. Well modded. Seats are awesome and so are the colors. I recall sitting in them at an auto show back in the day.
Watch those delrin bushings. I've noticed they will loosen up and rattle. Love 5 cylinders!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! One of my favorite cars for sure! 5 cylinders sure make an amazing sound!
That 5 cylinders engine is a masterpiece.
It truly is! The sound is memorizing!
Had to come back to this video.
Watched it in the past but then I still had my '05 2.5t, black sapphire (452) with standard leather interior but matched the colour of the atacama! A few cars here (the Netherlands) were done straight after factory by a dealership I believe. It was a momentum model which is basic and comes standard with grey cloth interior.
I now own a '09 2.5t in the magic blue like yours with a cream interior so it has the light creme all around, a darker tan in places and with wood trim. It looks royal! I remembered you have the gold rims and just had to have another look. I own a set of OEM Andromeda wheels (16inch) which I use in the summer, which were for the boxy 960/S90 models back in the late 90's but fit the car nice.
When I bought this car it came with OEM Orpheus (17inch) but I decided to put winter tires on them since I do not like the sporty look of so many spokes (taste is personal).
I am now thinking of painting them into a satin bronze, so a little darker than yours but bright enough to see that it is not black and dark enough to see it is not that golden/bronze.
You are spot on with the colour, it looks amazing at times. I am not much of a tuner or modificator but small things can do a lot. My only thing change to the car will be a film (2 layers) of transparant yellow (our plates are a yukkie yellow in my country and I wanted a more complete look) over the fog lights and replace the standard bulbs in the headlights with new LED or 8k (the standard ones now look a bit faded/orange and take a way the appeal of the front).
This car has xenon so I mean the tiny bulbs next to it, in the middle of the unit.
I also noticed your flakey strips between the roof and doors. I think it is a factory flaw since all have it and I had mine redone a while ago. I believe Volvo stopped selling them as I couldn't find any online and it is a shame since the incorperated rubber, near the front, is becoming very fragile. I really think they either had clogged up sprayers or the sprayers were at the wrong angle in the factory since I came across many which have this problem.
I can see why you love it so much it truely is a beautiful master piece im wishing i had it right now the color and tailights and the interior color makes it the perfect combo
Beautiful love it. Perfect combo and the wheels match up.
Thank you so much! I feel like people either love or hate the wheels, but I think they compliment the car well!
Mate, I love that. The paint when polished in the sunlight. Awesome !
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey man, I saw your car in another video and saw how you were driving up to park city! you have a super sick and unique car and you should really make more content! Cant wait to have an R of my own someday!!
Thank you so much! Life has been really crazy recently, but I am going to be making more content very soon! 😊👍 thanks for the love!
I appreciate you doing the video!
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
Looks and sounds great keep up the content 👌
Much appreciated! 👍😊
Sick ride man!! I own a 2011 Volvo C30 R-Design, and before that one I owned a 2005 Volvo XC70. Love these cars, great video!! 💪🏻😎
Very cool! Thank you for watching! 😏🙌
New drinking game video. Drink a shot every time he compliments the car😂. Thanks for the revs!!
You'll be drunk by the end 😂
Thank God I stopped drinking!
got an 04 S60 2,4 with a chip tune doing 200hp in Cypress Green Metallic, my dad bought it from new and it got passed down to me when i turned 18. really love the car, not only is it great but ofc also holds a good amount of mental value since i sat on the backseat of it when i was a kid :)
Awesome 👍! Quick question on your 04! Do you know which "Chip" you installed?? I have an 04 S60 2.4 also 198k but since I've owned it, a year now! I did the "Paint Thinner" in the gas mainly to see if would clean the Catalytic converter like guy's on YT we're saying! Honestly, was a little Leary , but I didn't want to replace it.. anyway since I did that two months ago.. this car has come alive!! Acceleration is way more smoother, and even shift's smoother also! She wants to jump everytime I start at a light...
@@wil_mil_man tbh i wouldn't know my dad had the tune done back in 04 shortly after he bought the car, so not even sure the company that made it even exist anymore.
@@zentarion. thanks for your time! I know I see a lot more on line now! I'll probably go with IPD since doing research over the last couple of months,, I'm not really looking for the speed end of it, just want it tuned to it's Max for general performance! Forgot to mention in my other post, also added a K&N air, which is actually helped with a couple more miles to the gallon! Thanks again for responding!
That is awesome! Glad to hear your love for the Volvo and especially the sentimental value with it! 😊
Love the option you got, I've got the first S60R (2004). Best car choice I've ever had for a car, never want to get ride of her
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you love yours as well! 😊
I recently got my second S60r, always regretted selling the first one. Great car, I love driving it.
This one is my 3rd 😂 these cars are definitely addicting 😏
@@christians.cars98 they really are something special
@@aimedshadez101 Absolutely!
I never knew they were so dope!! I always liked the way they looked.
My S60 is with same color as yours. It looks super nice. Condition of the car, and that paint is why i fell love in with that. Pretty much spotless even if it has 260k km on the clock and its 18years old. Altho my S60 isnt R but its 2.5T AWD, so "almost" R.
Beatiful car. Love the colour out-& inside. You're right about the seats,the best seats are inside swedish cars. I owned severval saabs,they had great seats too. I had a s60 from 2017 .great car. Now i own a c30 t5 r design. Absolute love it. Fun car.😆
It might be the best sports Volvo but you can't beat the sound of a V8 S80 .. I love mine just for it's exhaust note alone and it sits nicely beside my 1995 960 estate with that smooth 3ltr straight six and of course it's the last true RWD Volvo!
I love my two if I had more room I would probably add a 480 for giggles but for now it's two big fat slags on my driveway and I wouldn't change them at all!
I love my 2005 Volvo S60. It only has 93k miles. It runs as good as the day i bought it.
This is low miles! Your car has a lot of life left in it! I am glad we share a love for these incredible cars 😊👍
Had a V40 and loved it & would have another one tommrow love Volvo hugely underrated 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍 frm the UK
I have One of the rarest v50’s in the states, this s60r is beautiful, I hope to own one soon but I can’t find any.
I have a v50 t5 r design m66 AWD, it’s got a lot of working coming it’s way. I love seeing more Volvo content not many people know about them
Thank you! Thats a beautiful car you have yourself! I agree, Volvos dont get to much love, but everyone seems to love and respect them when you do see one!
The boys on swedespeed would go insane over you car
The interior looks so much better with the black carpet instead of the orange carpet that always gets dirty, sweet car. I have one with the same exterior color and I really like it in person it looks so unique
I agree! I think that's how Volvo should have made them! I feel like it makes the leather pop even more with the black carpet! What color interior do you have? The magic blue exterior is my favorite on the S60R's, it really is such a unique color and I love how throughout the day, depending on how the light hits the car, it changes how the car looks!
love this car. i have an 05 with the same interior. please do more vids!
I will be doing more videos for sure! Thank you so much! What exterior color does your car have?
I just picked up a Flash Green 05 s60r but I think I might like your paint more 😅 beautiful car man gives me something to look forward to
Thank you! The flash green is still a great color! But I do love the Magic Blue more! Thank you! You should make some videos and show your car!
Very Cool, That's definitely an overlooked car.
Thank you so much! That's one of the things I've loved about this car, is the uniqueness.
hopefully picking up a v70r soon, i'm excited. had an old XC70 that made me fall in love with volvo, and now i'll never go back!
You'll absolutely love it! These cars are so amazing!
@@christians.cars98 i'm excited!
Nice! I have a 850r that I'm planning on building out..& a p2 xc70... Volvos for life..👍
RIght on! Post some videos of your car along the journey!
She's a beaut. Your pride and love for the car shows. Enjoy!
Thank you so much! Glad I could bring out that emotion!
When ever you decide to sell this car let me know. Literally my dream spec car. Also gotta do another video on this car. beautiful man good job keeping it up right
Thank you so much! Sadly things came up and I had to sell the car! But its actually for sale right now on Cars and Bids, Doug Demuro's website! It was posted today! Go check it out!
@@christians.cars98 Damn wish i couldve picked it up. But now I'm getting a 91 toyota soarer this weekend
@@cemerk6345 That'll be awesome man! You'll really love the Toyota as well!
I have regular s60 2.0t from 2008. Ultimately the best car for money. The more I drive new cars the more I'm convinced I won't sell my old volvo. It's the most comfortable, reliable and the best quality C segment car ever made.
the comfort is the best for real. Love my 2006 V70 D5. And our cars are fully bathed in zinc before paint so it will never rust.
They really are such amazing cars! I love how they seem to be more off the radar for people, but the people who know about them, know how great they are!
I did not know that! Is that for under the car, or the body panels? Thank you for checking out my video! 😊
@@christians.cars98 it's a chemical thing. The chassis is bathed in a zink bath before paint to ensure lifetime rust free. If a Volvo from that Era rusts it had a repair, :D
Very interesting I had no idea!
Lovely coloured seats,real nice.
Thank you so much! It is my probably my favorite factory interior color on a car! The color is called Atacama 👍
love that colour combo 🥵
First time Volvo owner! Since Feb last year!! 2004 S60 2.4L Majestic Silver, w/ blk leather interior, And she rides like a dream! No engine or exhaust mods yet.. not much can do, maybe chip it.. and new cat back system this summer!
Now for exterior mods, 5% all the way around, vent visors, murder blacked the wheels, silver carbon fiber wrapped trunk, top.. and bottom egde, front bumper center, dropped front tag angled down on front bumper, headlights HID, front corners LED Yellow! (Not Amber!) Puddle lights the same led yellow, side markers blackout sequential LED! Tail lights, Red LED with Strobe light Red LED on the brake lights! Also 6000k tag light fixture! (From China)! Interior lights are also 6000k white front and rear, also in the foot wells. Just got the OEM fog lamps, adding 3000k yellow hid bulbs in those! Hopefully can install this weekend when it warms up here! Maryland still cold! Thanks for the walk around! Love the car!!!
Thank you! Your car sounds amazing! Glad to hear there's more people modding up Volvos!
@@christians.cars98 I'm an older car enthusiast, ever since I've owned cars they've always looked modded out tinted Rims and some up some of them lowered! Even had a few raised, keep and bronco at one time!! But, I fell in love with the 2000 S80! Back in 1999! I ended up talking myself out of it and could kick myself now, especially after owning this S60 now!! Man I missed out for a long! But, now I can really enjoy her! Even though she needed a little TLC when I got her! I can definitely say she has been well worth every single penny!! Hope to get her video soon! Just share my journey with her also! I really really appreciate your sharing yours!! It's great to see other's with similar interest in cars, certain cars at that!! Thank you again!
Loverly coloured seats,real nice.
Glad you like them!
I have a 2003 S60R in flash green exterior with Atacama interior, 60k miles and its my baby, owned it for 5 years, its cost me alot to keep on the road in that time but its been worth every penny, i dont think I'll ever sell it, volvo for life
Thats a great spec! They're such fun cars!
Love the interior,exterior color and wheel color and design,the exhaust is top notch for a 5 cyl turbo!
Volvo is amazing :D
Great S60R!
Thank you so much! I love the look of the car as well! 😊
what an obsolute beauty 😍
Much appreciated! Thank you! 😊
I saw a v70r with that same interior color. so dope.
The interior color looks so amazing! 😍
I don't know where to start your car is one of the most beautiful cars I've seen. Interior exterior the gauges really do look like expensive watches. I can't say enough about it ❤. I hope you still have it. I am hope you don't mind if I copy it.
Thx. Very clean !!
Appreciate it! 😊
Amaizing Car!
Thank You! Glad you enjoyed the video!
PRETTY GOOD REVIEW FOR THE FIRST TIME
Thank you so much! Definitely not perfect but looking to constantly improve! 😊👍
Lovely Kenyan beads you have, really awesome! Karibu Kenya again...
Asante sana! Unatoka wapi Kenya?

Hi! I think you need to change the shifter bushings as you can clearly see its all cracked and old where the shifter linkage goes. I think there is a guy on ebay that sells like solid bushings made out of alloy of something.
Yes for sure! 😂 it chipped apart a few weeks before the video and wasn't able to get a new one before I filmed this! But great eye! 😂👍
Clean setup
Thank you! Took some time to get it there, but so worth it!
Awesome review
Appreciate it! 🙌
I love the S60R, would love to own one
I have the 850, awesome, definitely my favorite car of all time, but the S60R is very close.
Volvo for Life
That is awesome! I have loved owning the S60R and always had a love for the 850's as well!
@@christians.cars98 have you done anything to the exhaust?
@@serotonin182 Yes this has a catless downpipe, and full 3in exhaust to a borla xr-1 muffler!
Cool . Dont sell it. Keep it for life
Good luck from Sweden.
Thank you so much! Love the Swedish cars!
Hey awesome car I have 2004 and I love it too but I have to get racket pinion bar changed have you had this problem too?
I had one for a few years. 6 speed manual 2005. With the traction control disabled, on the snow, 🤣🤣. I bought my son a 2004. He kept his. I eventually sold mine. Wish I hadn’t.
Everyone who owns one wishes they hadn't sold theirs 😭 reminds me of a time it snowed 10" I left for work earlier than usual to go to a church parking lot on my way to work and I was drifting and doing doughnuts in this car. When I got to work one of my coworkers said he saw this guy having the time of his life in a church parking lot on his way to work. We had a good laugh when I told him it was me 😂
Awesome car dude.
Thanks so much! 🙌
Hey i have just bought Volvo S60 2,4 D5 and i must say its an awesome car but the S60R is my dream
You'll get one one day!
What shift knob is that? Love the look. Did you have to thread the shifter? Thank you
It's just a weighted one I found on amazon! Yes you'll have to thread the shifter, but it's definitely worth it!
I need those wheels for mine yesterday
They really make the car the look great in any color you get them in! They are FastCo FC04 wheels if youre wondering! 😊
I've been looking at one but I'm not sure about the availability of parts and whether or not it's complex to work on
The parts are available, FCPEuro is a good place for Euro cars. They are more complex to work on than like a Toyota, but I'd say not too difficult!
New purchase definitely going to be a Volvo ..
I own a 1996 850R and 2003 V70 low pressure turbo and other than minor stuff the best cars I've owned
Those sound like fun! Glad you've loved them as well 🙌
ive been looking for a clean one with low miles but it seems impossible to find and im in the states too!. Clean car. Simple and clean
Thank you so much! Low mileage ones are definitely getting harder to find! If you can pick up a decent shape higher mileage one for relatively cheap you should do it!
This car had 150k when I bought it!
@@christians.cars98 how “reliable” are them?
Look so sick
Thank you!!
what's the head and leg room like? I'm 6'8 and looking for potentially something like this
I'm 6'1 and never had a problem with head room, or leg room. With you being 6'8 I feel like you would either have head or leg space issues. But maybe not! Before you buy make sure to sit in a similar car and see if you can get comfortable! There will be basically no leg room for a rear seat passenger behind you.
I wish my s60r one day gonna be that clean
Thank you! It took a lot to get it there but absolutely worth it! 😍
Very nice ! The paint is custom correct? I have a blue and it doesn't go green..ever! Lol
I've always loved that interior. I personally don't see the red Clippers? It kind of clashes with the copper colored rims and interior. We have blue/green, copper, red, and orange?🤷
However, the mechanicals are A-1 ! The bushings and shems are a really nice touch. Not to mention the intercooler. Lowering springs and tune. Nice job overall.👍
Nope this is actually a factory color called Magic Blue, paint code 467. The calipers are painted a reddish orange color, to try and match the interior! Yeah the car is absolutely solid, I wanted to make it drive and ride like it would have out of the factory, but better! 😊 With some added protection with the shims 😉👍
What is the build? For the front of your car
damn those seats are such good condition
They really are! These ones only have 90k on them!
now i want one
Get one!
Tô querendo comprar um carro S60 ano 2005 câmbio automático São bom carro???
The car looks perfect. May i know what is the offset of your wheels and the width of it. Im the owner of T5 07 with 17inch wheels and i had a plan to switch to 18inch 8jj but im not sure what is the best offset number for the wheels that fit for big brake kit, is it gonna be et40 or et38 or et35. Im really confused and i really need helps. TQ
These are 19x8.5 wheels with +45 offset. The stock Pegasus S60R Wheels are 18x8 +46 offset. So if your're doing a bigger brake kit I would try to stick around that offset! If you're ordering the wheels online (or doing research for the wheels you want) lots of sites online will tell you if the wheels will fit your car or not! If you do that, I'd just put that you have an S60R instead of the T5 since the R models have bigger brakes as standard, then you'll know if the wheels you're looking at will fit!
Volvos are Safe Good Choice Dude and Manual Transmissions are truly Amazing.🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘
They are entertaining the Stickshifts.
It's an incredibly fun car!!
One of the coolest things I did to my S60R is put in LED headlight bulbs for the daytime running lights.
I love that look on these!
I do the same but light not good i dont know why...
@@markod.6235 Sorry to hear that! It might just be the lights you bought, I'd try again! Make sure you get the proper size as well!
@@markod.6235 They seem brighter than my incandescent bulbs. Besides they are only on in the daytime. Also the ones I got were three sided LEDs.
Stock on stock factory the S60R takes the cake due to having more features, slightly better looks, more power, and awd, but when it comes to a better car to mod the 05-09 s60 T5 is better all day. Drivetrain is more solid, has less electronics and weak points, and can handle more power without having to reinforce the block.
100% agree! I love the factory aero kit, colors (interior and exterior), awd, added features and more importantly the rarity and uniqueness of the R cars. I always said if the car ever needed a new engine and I was going to add more power to it, I'd put in a T5 all day every day. But I need to have the magic blue and atacama interior 🤤😍
Word 👌
So as a volvo owner myself you guys should explain what the differences are between the 5 cylinder in your R and the 5 cylinder in the S60 T5? I can look it up I suppose but I would like to hear it from you guys✌ post 05 my 2.4L narrowed bore is that it?? I guess he did specify 05 - 09.....
@@greenhometony I have an entire video on my channel going over why the engine in the 06-09 s60 T5 is the best Volvo 5 cylinder made for tuning and modifying in stock form without having to be built. It’s the most watched video on my channel. But the two engines are 100% identical with the exception of the engine in the R comes with bigger injectors from factory , a bigger bore on the block resulting in thinner cylinder walls, and all R’s have a oil level sensor on the oil pan while only some of the T5s came with one. Other than that they’re identical: cams, exhaust manifold, turbo, head, crank, rods, etc.
@@T5_T-Rell wrong on Turbo.. the R's have a different turbo, they're 300hp, whereas the T5 = 250hp
Beautiful car. I have a 2007 s60. I would love to add some bolt ons but it has 288k miles. I prefer the look of your car at 10:04. I love those wheels. I'm just not into the gold. But otherwise, Beautiful car man.
Thank you! Honestly I think the gold looks cool, but if they were in silver it would make the car look a lot better. It would keep it more classy looking and european
@christians.cars98 totally agree brother.
Love the car man! What wheels are you rocking?
Thank you so much! These wheels are 19in FastCo FC04 wheels, they look amazing on these cars! 👍
what tint % did youp ut on it, looks great.
I think its 20%!
I’ve got 2 love em I want that interior tho
Thank you! The interior is definitely one of the best 😍
Nice car !
It sure is! Thank you so much!
Sold my 2005 a year ago. Major annoyances with the car was the rev hang on shifts as well as the hideous turning circle. Aside from these annoyances enjoyed the car but found owner maintenance was very difficult for anything aside from basic stuff. Had clutch slave cylinder fail which took out clutch. Had failure of rechargeable battery in alarm system which took out module, had failure of Haldex pump which took out AWD. The mass air also failed and had to be replaced. Mine was same exterior color by had the Nordcamp interior.
It's definitley a love hate relationship with these cars. The small things that go wrong are definitely the biggest annoyance of these cars. Sorry to hear about your experience with your car! Hopefully one day you'll get a better taste in your mouth with Volvo 😊
@@christians.cars98 I have owned a a 164E, 3 242 GTs, a couple 244s, a half dozen 245s and the S60R and would sure look at a Polestar in the future. With the exception of the Polestar all were wanting in the reliability area but enjoyed them nonetheless.
By any chance is your old car for sale in Calgary Alberta? There’s on with nordkap and magic blue with an auto
@@mattnichol7287 It's definitely not my old car, but it might be Richards!
I have the same exact car and want to lower it...so did you replace the shocks with the OEM ones and just added lowering springs?
Yep exactly! I got all new struts from FCP Euro and ordered some Eibach lowering springs from them as well. Then just put the whole new setup on the car 😊
Christians Cars thank you...will definitely copy the suspension...just need to find some wheels that would fit on like that...what was ur size of the wheels?
These are 19" wheels, 245/40/R19's! Go check out this wheel guide for these cars! www.swedespeed.com/threads/p2r-compatible-aftermarket-wheel-guide.277705/
Magicama m66 05+ with Sport Kit... my god 🤪 Ultimate unicorn spec
Unicorn for sure! 😍😍
The tune is make on a fabric ECU ? Or some aftermarket ?
The tune just re-flashed the stock ECU
i have a 2006 best car I've ever driven wish it wasn't so pricey to work on!! cheers
They are amazing cars! The maintenance cost is one of the drawbacks of owning one of these cars, but if you keep your maintenance up you wont run into many problems
what mm spacer do you have set up on this bad boi?
With these wheels and their specs no spacers up front and 10mm in the rear! But on the stock pegasus wheels I ran 10mm up front and 15mm in the rear!
Guy would be lost without the word 'super'. He's super reliant on it.
That was a 'super' great observation
Nice car/interior package! I like the rims too! The only thing I hate about P2's is the turning radius. It's absolute garbage. I went back to a P80 (S70 T5) 😄.
Thank you! Thats one thing I absolutely hate as well! 😂 but thats sadly the only option if you want the AWD 😂
@@christians.cars98 Agreed, that's a small price to pay for the P2R package. '98 V70R has AWD though, admittedly that's an expensive endeavor these days and you gotta go to the wagon. But i loved my S60 the AWD is pretty nice for MN winters. but the boxy Volvos is where my heart lies! Cheers and thanks for the video!
@@winnington23 My dad has a 98 V70R! I love the look of the P80 V70R's but honestly I hate the look of the P2 V70R's, just something about the curvy front and body and then a blocky rear end, doesn't match and I hate the look. The AWD sure is nice though in the snow! Thanks again for the comments and support! Any cars you'd like me to try and do some videos of?
Beautiful car I love the s60R I'm trying to find one but they are either to expensive or automatic I have a s40 R design with a k16 swap
That is awesome!! Yeah sadly they are getting harder and harder to come by!
Just got one! What is the shift knob?
Congrats! What color, year, interior do you have? Youll love the car! Its a weighted shift knob I got from Amazon. Youll have to get a tap and dye kit to put some threads on the shifter. Also if you dont yet know how to take off the stock knob, push down and then twist it a half turn and then pull up!
What's wheels are those? They look really good
Thank you! These are FastCo FC04 Wheels!
What shifter knob is that?
Thanks for checking out the video! It's a weighted shift knob I bought from amazon! If you think of getting a similar one you'll need to get a tap and dye set to put some threads on the shift lever!
Who did you get the tune through?
A company called Contrast Works, if you search google for Volvo Contrast Works you'll find it! 😊
i build s60 2.4T to R spec with power range, hard to find the s60r ;( also the prices are going crazy
Thats awesome! Honestly the the 2.4 motor is a better motor to build up and throw some power at!
