We just bought this 2005 Volvo S60R, which has a clean title, no accidents, and fully functional, for $3,800! And we want to turn this Swedish AWD sports sedan into a proper racecar, capable of beating other more expensive cars. This is the beginning of the Volvo S60R journey for Shifting Lanes and I hope you join us for the ride!

But Volvo is also the Norm in my “Landsting” so no thing out of the ordinary. So after all the guessing you could call my whole country for “the Volvo country” or Sweden as it is also known.

As a manual V50 T5 owner, it does suck. But, I test drove a V90 T6 R-Design with the Polestar pack and it was way better than I thought. The auto box in Dynamic mode shifts really fast and is always in the right gear, blipping downshifts right down to first when coming to a stop. Nothing beats a manual though, but the next level interior almost makes you forget about it. The whine from the supercharger is also surprisingly audible, especially with the windows down. It is hilarious in a way that is hard to describe. Something about supercharger whine in a Volvo station wagon makes me laugh.

I started watching your videos because of the first R. Stayed because of the next ones :D Volvo is a drug. When you try it, you'll become addicted. We have an XC90 '06 D5, when looking for something smaller, there were no used petrol automatic volvos in a good shape (here in europe people love diesels), so now there is a V40 T2 MY2019 parked next to the old tank. :)
Bought one on Tuesday with 188k. $1900 out the door. Been sitting since 2014. Oil change and couple could later, good to go. And it's a manual... With the tan/orange leather. Keeping it for a bit.
I had a 1998 Volvo 850R out of high school & the VOLVO "R" brand has been my favorite since. I drive an 2008 Audi A4 now & I like it, but not as much as Volvo.
I have a S60 of 2006 too but it is only a 2.4D 163 hp. This one is one of my dream cars

The S60R is kind of a cool car. I just wish they didn’t have so many problems. My friend has one and every time I visit her it seems like there is another issue. One week the haldex stops working the next the turbo won’t spool up. The problems go on and on it seems. I’ve also had the chance to drive the car on some back roads and it feels heavy and pushy. I do like the notch-y shifter feel and how it pulls when working correctly.

The biggest problem I had auto crossing my 06 Vr was mediocre all season tiers and the open front diff. The all wheel works great, but your still going to spin up the inside front wheel at some point. If you want to go slaying M3s in your swedish pig (i love my fat pig of an R) then may I suggest a limited slip in the front. Also, I know someone on swedespeed is working on a Haldex controller so we can manually adjust the awd % at any time. With a locked 50/50 (actually I think max is 60f/40r), lsd in the front, sticky tiers and some suspension like what's on your Vr it should be a flying pig.

@mnopracing
5 жыл бұрын
It's been talked about before on the forums, but I remember seeing the topic revived somewhat recently on Swedespeed in the R specific forum. Essentially it would be a controller to manually control the Haldex clutch on the fly. So in theory you could have the haldex 100% locked all the time, or 50%, ect. The problem seems to be that either the pump gets too hot (as it was never designed to be constantly on) or the clutch pack gets too hot. This triggers a safety mechanism and turns off the haldex to save itself. But the work around would be creating an oil cooler for the haldex oil, which should reduce the heat to the motor and clutch pack. If you do a search on swedespeed you'll find the thread easy enough.
@mnopracing
5 жыл бұрын
As cool as a haldex controller would be, I think a lsd for the front wheels would net you greater results at this stage. It's going to be the first hurtle you run into at the track (spinning up the front inside wheel on tight fast corners). These cars handle surprisingly well for how nose heavy they are, and the gen 3 haldex (which you and that 05 s60 have) activates really quickly to wheel spin and helps the car rotate. The car will pull itself out of a corner well enough until the front wheels loose traction. The problem I had was even with the rear wheels pushing in a tight corner the front inside wheel wants to spin free first. That's going to be your first weak point. If it were me I would drop in a Quaife lsd and then see where your next weak point is.

Nice purchase ! That 5 pot is nasty
better service the haldex system with special attention to the angle gear, and hate to say it, but as an owner of a V70R and a tastefully modded C30, the C30 will stomp either of the P2 R's on an autocross course. but can't wait to see what you do to it.

Beauty! Congratulations on the car and getting into the Volvo communiy! Love the color! Just taking the seats out probably saves a thousand pounds lol. The one thing i'm wondering how you'll get around is the steering. This car cannot turn tight to save its life. It's a tank, the turning radius is basically around the moon (and changing the turning stops won't help) :(. I fully support this going race car as this platform has gone racing previously and has kicked a lot of cars asses, surprisingly things like vipers and porsches were getting chomped. I'm still enjoying mine relatively stock. Theres a million things that need upgrading though. I see someone's already deleted the front headlight wipers. Those were a mod I did a while back.

The steering is a big challenge. Basically, outside of changing the steering rack, just get used to the slop and account for it in the driving style.

@@ShiftingLanes That would be my assessment as well. As long as the track/course opens up it'll do fine. The tight turns are where this car is going to get hurt. I've thought about ways to increase the turning ability but my only ideas were smaller wheels (17's with a lower profile tire or thinner tire or something -- but then you give up grip) to avoid rubbing the fender wall (but then how do you fit them over the brakes?!), and basically that's it... Other than cutting a channel into the support beam to allow the wheel to turn more without rubbing. You'll see what I mean as you drive the car for a while. That rubbing is going to become something you'll get used to. There are actually small guards in the fender well to keep the tires from eating into the fender wall. :/

You should hit up Cyan which is a swedish racing team that builds volvo racing cars :)
Dear shifting lanes, It is great to see how volvo-centric your channel is becoming. The P2 is a well built passenger car. I’d never call mine a race car or even have the potential for it. There is a good reason why you can scoop these up for not a lot these days. The car will be the cheapest part of ownership. You will spend close to the purchase price just getting it to stage 0. Owners don’t want to keep paying for the vehicle over and over. Auto-x is largely up to the driver but I’m sure it will surface some of the Rs character. They are heavy and they have the turning radius of a bus. I hope you will strongly consider shimming the block and getting a bigger IC. I fear for the M66 and the collar sleeve. Do you even DICE bro? Don’t take this wrong as I look forward to the progress on this and the VR but when shit breaks, myself and other R owners might not be surprised. Remember in Empire Strikes Back: Luke: ...I'm not afraid. Yoda: Oh! You will be. You will be.

I’m glad you have a Volvo s60r I drive a 98 Volvo s70 t5 5speed
Is a s60r really much better than a regular T5 S60? From what I understand the R is like 50 more HP, but it's also like 500lbs heavier.
good buy this is an awesome car. i miss my s60r everyday . i want a wagon and make it awesome again. stage two is on another level get it there quick its a total different beast.

They’re averaging around there. Check history, see if you can haggle based on condition of tires too. My tires were pretty bad -Hansen

Just be prepared to spend some money to get things fixed up. That's all i'm going to say. If you can wrench on these yourself, great. If not, be prepared to pay and good luck on the purchase :) These cars are awesome.
