I think I have finally figured out why these videos grab me so much. You talk normal, at a normal volume and pace. Which is rare these days, its usually about being the most obnoxious. You are just laidback and nice, makes me feel like I am there with ya working on this.

[@EwoutSchalkwijk]

Couldn't agree more with you. I'm became addicted to this channel within a few episodes.

"I found an old drain pipe that made my Volvo sound like a V10" would be a more accurate title by the looks of it lol :D Glad youtube recommended me this.

Personal Opinion - the V70R is one of the best looking Estates/Wagons ever made. It's simple elegance that cannot be mistaken for something else, and that's what makes it look so good.

[@yukimuralv8619]

I will be the first to say in almost all cars I've heard Straight piped im not a fan but man these 5 cylinder engines need to be heard with a straight pipe I 100% approve of the straight pipe on these T5s!

[@angus3963]

The Volvo B5 sounds so good with a straightpipe, the sound is so addictive. The Delrin bushings make the steering SO much sharper too, I absoluetly LOVED mine. I miss mine so much, I had an 04 V70 T5 manual with the B5234T, bunch of work done on it, drove the shit out of it for 12 years, sold it and it's still running today. I highly recommend getting a proper 3" downpipe, deres the IPD pipe and keep the rear muffler, I had up a muffler delete for mine that I would run sometimes as well for pure straight pipe goodness. For some reason mine was a magnet for trucks wanting to race, had some good laughs that's for sure.

[@tylerross3847]

Your video series restoring this $1,500 V70R has convinced me to not sell my $3,500 S60R and to go all-in on it instead. It needs complete 4C overhaul, brake rotors/pads, DEM, etc. But after watching you do all that you've done and still love these, I gotta admire that passion and I'll give it a shot with my own project. Thanks man and keep it up!

[@thegallantsaint2034]

Do it man! 👍

[@wickedstudios7477]

not sure if it's a common issue but Its fairly cheap and easy to prevent, but at high milage and less than great maintenance the o rings inside the oil pan start to fail and you will have no oil pressure. consider doing that if you haven't already before the car leaves you stranded lol ask me how I found out. but yeah great series and great car!

[@BirdNoise77]

Love what you've done with the v70. Volvo is really slept on in north america, it's nice to see someone appreciate a true classic volvo car

[@SlippyGrip]

Ever since we started our 850R project on our channel, your videos popped into the algorithm! It’s awesome to see people still passionate about these older 5 cylinder cars! Love your content and the car sounds great! Keep it up dude!

Love and miss that sound. Had a 06' VR. Couldn't do a 3-point turn to save its life but it's definitely the most fun, roomiest and comfortable car I owned. These cars are a labor of love, so it's awesome you have the facility and ability to work on it. Mad respect.

As a V70 lover, I think it’s mega that you’re going through with this build. V70R sound is amazing! Even the D5 with a straight pipe sounds like a V10.

"It just went righty loosey" :D That made my day! Great vid, bro. Sounds awesome.

[@garrettfruzynski]

Nice work on the rear sway bar! I have an 04 XC70 and upgraded to a stock R one but didn't want to remove the exhaust (East Coast rust problems) and it was a bit more of a battle BUT you nailed it with loosening the lower shock bolts for a bit of extra clearance, that's what got me home free as well! I agree, the sound is more mild than expected with the cat back straight pipe. Now I have the itch to put a fresh metal blade in the sawzall and help my muffler leave the chat 😅

I just bought a 2007 S60R, in silver, fully loaded with the M66 manual for $2,300 yesterday. It’s been fun binge watching this series. Mine has a straight pipe and I think I am going to either replace it with an IPD setup, or just install a muffler in the straight pipe. It sounds good but I don’t think I can live with it as is.

I have a 2007 T5M with the IPD exhaust - I went from stock to IPD, but I think it was well worth the money. Loud enough to feel sportier, quiet enough to daily. Definitely recommended!

Been following since the beginning. Love the progress. Your videos are super informative and I can apply some to my current car. I have a 2004 V70 2.5T AWD in black. Would love a V70R but with my current vehicle count it's not in the cards. Looking forward to the next video. One note, have you ever considered purchasing a Quickjack to make things easier? I got one last year and it was one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.

As a former S60R owner this is super cool to see. I had some IPD goodies and tune on mine and these motors can really rip. Eletrical gremlins ended up making me sell it.

Dude, I’ve always wanted one of these, they are so cool. I feel like it’s almost a modern take on the c4 Audi s6 avant- with the 20V turbo, or Volvos take on the b5 s4 avant. The latter or of the two I have owned and sadly sold it, still do have one but miss the avant badly. This video has made me want to look for a V70R now though, haha. Great videos, and look forward to seeing what you have in store for this thing in the future
