Fixing Everything Wrong with My Manual Swapped Volvo V70R

[@justmavrick3583]

Let's gooooo i waited so long for that series to come back !!

[@BeamNG.drive-cinematics]

FINALLY !!!

[@adkoemek]

Definetly my favourite car youtuber wish you uploaded more

[@nokbeen3654]

Quality > quantity

[@aarontimm]

in addition to what nokbeen said, willem also has another "main" channel based around photography, and this is a newer channel as well, so it takes time to build up content to be released over time

[@joycedelarosa9304]

So you're gonna tell me you're just gonna ignore the headlight washers?

[@DFXJosef86]

Dude you’re back, fiiiinnnally

[@d2ygn]

Nice update! The car deserves the original headlight washing nozzles and proper clean seats! Loved watching the series on This build!

[@DaveNibu]

YOOOOOOOOOO VOLVOS BACK IN ORDER BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@coreymarotta]

Being a proud owner (from new) of a 2007 V70R M, I have the absolute utmost respect for these efforts. It is so incredibly difficult to locate a qualified tech for this car that can be trusted. If it was in the budget I'd fly him to my house to chase down a few things on my R.

[@SanProsan1993]

5:57 RedLine MT90 is your answer man. It is everything that MTL is, but with slightly more viscosity. Which should quite things down a bit, all while providing better protection through higher MOFT (Minimum Oil Film Thickness). Win-Win in my book.

[@wheelemverb]

Thank you!

[@butters2160]

Will that affect the drivetrain loss by much?

[@nescockk]

@@butters2160a very negligible amount.

[@wilemr1337]

I literally just finished watching the Miata video and saw this thumbnail at the endscreen and thought like "Huh? I really don't recognize this thumbnail, I must've just forgot" and then I click and see "8 minutes ago" LETS GOOOO

[@iea96]

Been stuck at home sick this weekend, discovered your channel yesterday, and now I’m done watching all 29 of your videos (don’t judge me). Everything is super chill, easy to follow through and captivating even though I’m not a Volvo guy. Gave me M539 Restorations vibes, but with Volvos instead of BMWs. And I’m saying that as a huge compliment! Keep up the fabulous work!

[@LOLHICRONO]

8:25 i never watch sponsors but ill make an exception for this channel

[@wheelemverb]

I appreciate it

[@basslinejunkie2776]

same!

[@CarterMoen]

My birthday was on the 20th and when I got home a package was waiting. I opened it up and it was mud flaps. For my Volvo S60 2002 base. Volvo gave me mud flaps for my birthday, how nice of them

[@johnjuiceshipper4963]

Love to see someone caring for these cars, they’re truely boxes of joy.

[@Silverhalide44]

What a treat! So good to see another Volvo video man, nice!

[@05SLPRWGN]

Greetings from Canada....I loved your V70R episodes!!!!❤ I'm 51 and have always been a fan of these. I recently found a 05 V70R in titanium gray with Atacama interior and the M66 transmission. It's a project I cant wait to start next spring...I've already created a YT channel as I will posting videos as the progress advances!! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@ritchydoesit]

Everything about this video is right - the cuts, the music, voice-over, and, of course, the car.

[@bobsykes]

Fantastic driving footage at the end! I like that your new channel has sponsors already. You made a great commercial running your head up through the roof sitting on that thing. lol

[@renzylbutel735]

just wanna say, your channel is the biggest inspiration to fixed my 2006 v70 2.4 thats been sitting on my driveway for 3 years, its up and running now cause of your channel thanks broskie

[@grain_]

Something you could look out for is the blue interior trim for the door cards and above the glove box which match the gauges, I believe they only came on a select few R models, my dad used to have most of the set but they were quite badly damaged and had a hole in one. I’d also recommend possibly getting the R on the boot lid reattached as it’s a nice part next to the V70

[@janoscoquyt]

Just randomly found this channel, i'm not even into cars at all, but man these videos are great and satisying to watch

[@Cully-Wully]

The bar over the engine isn’t a strut brace. It’s actually a motor mount that controls the side to side movement of the engine. Awesome work as usual!

[@josemanuelperezsalcedo6170]

So happy to see you back!! And the Pegasus wheels too😍

[@liamcarroll5870]

When i noticed the seats during the first few minutes of the video i thought this car would be more enjoyable with some bucket racing seats. Not the hard core seats but ones that have adjustability and comfort. Great to watch a new video from you!

[@alastair_4343]

You've properly transformed this car, It's been special seeing this V70 restored to glory. props to you bro you deserve this car :)

[@nokbeen3654]

Honestly, every shot captured is always perfection. Videography, content, knowledge and last but not least Volvo, is the reason this is my favorite car youtuber.

[@Etahhn]

so glad there is another instalment to this series i absolutely love this car dude

[@kimkimkim2634]

You did the right thing by reinstalling the R wheels !

[@7Fields16]

You just took the price of the car to the roof. Amazing work. It's one of my favorite cars. I grew up in the older one.

[@streeatbeat]

Bro casually comes and makes THE best p2 Turbo content in history!

[@DaveNibu]

i really wanna see an engine bay glow up, that blue would absolutely pop with a wipe down for sure!!

[@justinsautter]

So glad you spent the time to bring this work of beauty back to life. What a hidden gem these things are. Great work!

[@Jord8043]

This car has reached perfection at last. Good God, it's so beautiful.

[@J.B.7.4]

Love the handsome panel lines, understated sleeper look of this V70R, awesome car. Interior design/layout is perfect… I think I need a Volvo R in my driveway.

[@Jlockjammers217]

It’s about time!! Yes!!! Need a Dyno and power rating video lol

[@honestaquarian]

Will somebody PLEASE tell him to fix that drivers side license plate light bulb!!💡

[@hunorszabo4533]

I love that car so much. It is one of my dream cars.

[@romainth2785]

My 2001 sedan base model is a cash pit, i've been fixing a lot of issues in only 1 year of ownership but man i love this car. It has the premium glance and smooth design. Yours looks gorgeous and i think all the non volvo guys would agree

[@philipmacdonald9449]

Boy oh boy fantastic work and fantastic car...loving all you're clips...from me in Scotland UK ❤

[@catafalque3634]

And from another V70 owner from Scotland! 👍

[@henrirobbins4526]

This car has affirmed that I'm eventually going to get silver big brakes for my silver car. They just look so good

[@MiG-35C]

Hello from France (V70R owner), thanks for the new video.

[@fenderrust]

The long weekend bag sliding around in the back seats as you hit the corners lol.

[@Romanu_Geoge]

Man i love this generation of Volvo's so much! I love them so much that now i have a 2001 XC70 2.4T with a manual swap, a 2003 S60 D5 auto, a 2005 S60 D5 manual, a 2007 V70 D5 auto AWD and a dismantled 2001 S80 T6 (i only bought the S80 for the engine :)

[@Mr.Smack710]

M56? Or M66 on the XC70??

[@Romanu_Geoge]

@@Mr.Smack710 m56 (the 5 speed manual)

[@PhatKnoob]

Got a S40 D5 myself, and I absolutely adore it. The engine just has an incredible feel to it

[@Romanu_Geoge]

@@PhatKnoob hell yeah, i kinda forgot that the 2nd gen S40 had 5 cylinders in them

[@NiceSk1ll3r]

Really hope Volvo content will not stop now when V70 is done. 🙏

[@btcomputers127]

Best car ever build. fast,practical, and looks good. you should bring it to the nurburg ring for a testdrive.

[@elliottmaccrone328]

Mr. WheelemVerb you give me inspiration to keep building my s60r🙏

[@gremlinfinger5964]

I'm finally starting on my 05 SR and I'm so glad I found this channel! Definitely gives me more confidence than I had seeing all the things I plan on doing all in one spot.

[@sprint955st]

I flirted with a V70XC and few months ago and subbed to your channel…sold it shortly after and returned to VWs….but my sub remains . What I admire about you is your work ethic but also you’re completely fearless…I’m much older than you (smaller garage and colder weather too) but lots of jobs you take on are ones I’d feel we’re beyond my skills. Good content, well done.

[@memes-xv5pf]

I waited so long for this movie but it was worth it

[@Koachise]

I know exactly what you bought. I just came back from one of those and it will be the most fun you will have in a vehicle for the price. Super reliable, sounds great, very fast, tons of aftermarket support. I can't wait to see that series.

[@brotherbohman]

You are one of my favorite car youtubers. I live in Sweden, and volvo is also Swedish. It makes me happy seeing a Swedish car in America. I actually owned a Volvo v70 2.4. But it had massive electric and engine problems, i fixed most of the prroblems but i crashed it last year. But i am thinking of getting another v70 since i like it.

[@usernameisrequired]

Since the last one i have looked up your channel 3 times with extreme disappointment i looked it up yesterday and i was concerned for your well being, now that you have uploaded i am VERY happy sir thank you

[@RidicULooseAutomotive]

That 5 cylinder will forever be one of the best sounds to be emitted from an exhaust pipe! 🔥🔥

[@weepy]

Got my first car recently and your series has encouraged me to learn to do some work on it myself!

[@TTduckTT]

I'm glad you went back to the OEM wheels. The BBS wheels looked nice but never really gelled with the understated look of the car overall for me. Looking forward to your next build!

[@XxnordbladkingxX]

Bbs wheels whas also OEM

[@Sunedosa]

That thing sounds glorious 😍

[@GreatAsaf]

Finish the interior with a retrim of the seats for added slickness. Congrats for the R, looking sharp!

[@AdventureHunter.]

Love the Volvo series! Next video Ricardo interior refit and exhaust/tune? 👀 You might get lucky with seats from the scrap yard! Also would love to see some California road trip videos in the Volvo 👌🏻

[@davdjimenez1150]

Excited for all the new content, we know you’ve got your own personal life to attend too, as we all do. we’ll be here eagerly but patiently waiting until the next one 😊

[@jonasdande]

Yeah! You're back with the V70R!

[@Tindebinde]

This is maybe my favourite series in youtube. I have a 1996 850 T5 and im planning to manual swap it just like you. You've been a huge motivation to me.

[@emriknyman5053]

glad you are back 😊 you should add a roof spoiler the car looks so naked without it 👍

[@scottvtecm8]

Get those sponsors rolling up, what a great way to see more content like this. Great work, keep it up!

[@MMKnight_1]

ooooh yeah. Finally another video on the R. Awesome videography btw, looks professionally shot that have perfect lighting and are smooth

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Missed this dude. Thanks for sharing the Volvo love.

[@volvohoarder806]

I’m so glad that the R bumper is back on the car!!!

[@BirdNoise77]

Hell yes dude welcome back, hope to see more soon!

[@mabskha7917]

Leeeeetttsss gooooooo yoooo! The V70R is back on the channel🎉.

[@kylegrant4303]

love these kind of videos so satisfying to watch! Watched this video then went back and watched each individual video! have alwasy loved these cars and the wagons have grown on me!

[@pfunctional]

Bub you need a couple Lil square gym mats to throw down on your garage floor when you are crawling around or kneeling, they are a game changer! Ask me how I know

[@Trickydicky99]

I'm a big Volvo fan here in the UK, what you're doing is what I'd love to do. I've owned a previous generation modified V70 T5 and an earlier 850R wagon, they're fantastic cars and quite underrated. Well done in what you're doing, I wish at your age I had your confidence to do what you do . I follow with interest 😊😊

[@RicoBanani]

It just keeps getting better

[@angus3963]

Man I miss working on mine, such an easy car to work on too. Go for a SNABB intake, never deal with broken plastic again. I also found that firming everything up actually made the car feel much smoother, almost ZERO vibration into the steering wheel. The V70 platform is a sleeper, it handles surprisingly well, shockingly so when you get really sticky tires (personally I ran Nitto Invo's) and get the car tightened up and proper suspension, if you want even more fun grab some Carbotech XP8 or XP10 pads or AX6 if you want something a bit friendlier, you WILL need to learn how to brake again.

[@andrews.506]

Awesome wagon! Can’t wait to learn more about the tune from Alex. Hope I get to do all this kind of stuff to my R eventually.

[@ReaperVolvo]

i got an 2001 2.3 T5 S60 , R bumper on there, billstein suspension , brembo perforated discs and pads , new exhaust . just need to get me some do88 intake and pipes , and an intercooler, and a tune to make it a beast .

[@thatsonebadhatharry8610]

Great video as usual. You need to find someone with a 2015 or 2016 V60 T6 R-Design with Polstar tune or an actual V60 Polstar to let you drive through the mountains with some time. You might be surprised at how well the newer wagons handle too.

[@miltonulm5102]

The thing you said about the gearbox noice after the single mass flywheel conversion is very common, my 2.5T 2005 s60 have a single mass standard so a very rare thing my car has no problems so should be something like balancing that’s wrong but just an inconvenience. Nice build and good to see you back 😁

[@nicky26able]

Glad you're back on the wagon. As for the Miata... It's always the answer! Keep putting out the great content. Looking forward to the Benz ( I hope it's a Benz).

[@markaphillips14]

This is such a rad build! Very unique in terms of car content on KZbin. Your videos are produced very well. Good cinematic with vlog style talking points. Great work. Keep it up!!

[@bentiem]

LOVE a Volvo build. Man is doing it right and honest. Congrats and keep sharing, we love it!

[@pedrogeronimo9482]

loving the cinematic, is like a well directed car movie.

[@aaronbrook]

Excellent work. You're a wonderful storyteller. Keep it up!

[@reillydesign]

This series has been SO good! I really want to do similar work on my V50. Keep it up! Always anxious for your new posts.

[@tanmay4703]

Music in this video is just amazing

[@ericbritton8146]

I am very pleased you decided to return to the stock R 5-star wheels.

[@MegaAmas123]

I've been awaiting You, new episode. Here we meet. I managed to buy myself sweet Volvo S60 2.4D while waiting. Motivate me sir, im willing to throw some money on mine!

[@Choopuhcabra]

Dude, immense envy this thing looks freakin tight!! Love the series, can't wait to see it's final form

[@MattViral]

Zen master of car youtube channels.

[@Renato_Bernardo]

Never seen that method to get the lower ball joint to pop off! Nice ahahah

[@wheelemverb]

Neither have I 😂

[@dorsetwarrior3870]

you should get the carbon steering weel , it would add another layer of beauty

[@TylerRogersUSA]

Glad to see you back! Heads up: Try not to get into the habit of using your hand as a hammer.

[@joshuavincent7884]

cant wait for the exhaust and tune episode!

[@Sharpetz]

I say the same about mine every time the road gets twisty! So so good.

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Fcp should sponsor. Giving me inspiration to continue working on my 2000 S70 SE.

[@ПавелМансуров-э4я]

Very motivation video! Respect from Russia)

[@GlazzedDonut]

Thanks for bringing us along. Bumper looks great all around excellent Its going to become more challenging on finding things to improve now!

[@superkooks69]

After doing some research on Swedespeed, i learned that the lightened flywheel itself isnt chattering, but that it introduces chatter into the gears which can be reduced with a heavier than stock trans fluid.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

We SPACEBALLIN' hard on this one! Didn't know there were more to go with the V70R, and goddamn those shots look good!

[@ShiroArctic]

I will never get tired of that 5-cylinder sound.

[@j.coby_99]

Beautiful wagon and nice looking roads you are driving!

[@zacman8472]

Such an awesome video! Production, pace, execution, all perfect. The 5 cylinder sounds MENTAL!
