Things I love and dislike about my Volvo S60R

Here I'm going through some of the parts on my car. I won't go through everything I have on it but it will give you guys an idea:) As well as this isn't everything I love or dislike about the car there are so many things I could talk about but I hope you have an inside look now!
Here is a link to the best Volvo edit I have seen

[@Zac_Cave]

That's why all Volvo meets should be in big parking lots, trying to take my p2 v70r through any 3 point turn can become a nightmare of a 5-7 point turn especially in Seattle. I'm sure Portland is bad too.

[@phiberoptick]

Hands down the worst turning radius! still love my R though

[@josiahrothe1238]

I agree!

[@MrZaine97]

Lls real shit I’ve thought about getting 15mm spacers cause they say it makes a biggg difference.

[@johno9507]

Yeah the one big thing I hate about my R too.

[@SkillCap]

same on my 850 t5r, my brothers v8 xc90 seems to have a super tight turn radius tho

[@LPATRON19]

Not as bad as a 3rd Gen eclipse 😂

[@michaelbrown2456]

I own a 04 and I would like to hear that beauty running, great video.👍

[@unproudcitizen]

The turning radius of a battleship.

I’m in love with my 2001 Volvo S 60, I just bought it and I never loved a car like this one.

[@kishmick]

Hi man! Nice car (I have similar "T5"). Put on a sports air filter and return the suction plastic flat tube to the filter box (for example, an open box). You will suck in cold air from outside and not warm air from the engine. You will see that it will go much better. Tom.

[@josiahrothe1238]

I have tested both with the air box tube and the lid on and neither effect performance in any way. to each their own I guess lol

[@eliashamel160]

Going from a b8 A4 to an S60r, BY FAR the biggest adjustment and shock is that goddamn turning radius.

[@CuttinChris]

do you still have this? hows she holding up. ive got my 02 legacy gt with a sohc sti build. makes mid 300's to the wheels. absolute blast but high mileage. considering getting one of these to build out

[@motorax.service.motociclete]

what do you mean it doesn't act like an awd? what circumstances? really curious

[@jestocost8210]

Nice car. I had to get rid of my s60r (black and Atacama interior) because it had too many issues, but I stayed with Volvo. An s60 AWD, just not an R. If I can find another good one I'll get it.

[@patrickmadden6340]

Very sharp!! Any ecu tunes? Notice any difference in the boost ability kit? I have an 02 xc wagon around 280 hp awd now about to retune

[@josiahrothe1238]

I like the boost ability kit but it is pretty pricey the car does "breath" better if that makes any sense and it looks awesome if I were to do it again I would have chose something different.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

That's great hp for a 2002 V70XC

[@bradybunch3928]

you should look into sweedspeed air filters!

[@josiahrothe1238]

[@MrZaine97]

In all honesty it’s just a nice daily. It’s just when you start to do too much to the R when you wanna keep it simple. All I did was BC coils( better then 4C imo) 3”catless Re Volv Downpipe(big differences With no tune yet) F12 sport 17” wheels(pegs were too fucking heavy for daily and speed) Last thing to do is fmic with stage 1 tune That’s all you really need

[@taylorsondreal4242]

How do you get rid of the light in dash when going to bc coils

[@MrZaine97]

taylor sondreal I think Hilton has a tune add on for 4C delete. I just don’t have it on my R yet. All I know is I love my BC coils over 4C.

[@OG_DSM]

I have a silly question...I'm looking into purchasing an 04 s60 r with an auto transmission that has updated C4s, and needs the pcv work done. Q: Does it stay in performance mode because of the suspension upgrade? Also, is the Auto trans any good on these cars?? Not a fan of auto at all but for the price it's almost a steal. That and it has 200k on the dial. Any opinion or advice good or bad will be helpful. This will possibly be my 1st Volvo.

i bought mine with 80k miles for $10k. really depends on the miles and condition. u can get beaters for $3k but you'll spend a lot more on deferred maintenance costs than the car itself.
