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!

Shifting Volvos 😂😂 i love it😂
Lol your officially a #Volvo_Addict join the club 👍 Our collection of Volvos are: 850R, C70 T5, 05 V70R and S80 V8. Also its nice to hear your getting the car inspected first and stage 0 before performance mods
Hey where can I find one of these In stick just like yours?
The biggest problem with Volvos..... they seem to magically multiply in your driveway. And then your neighbors start calling you "That Volvo Guy"
😂😂😂
If I had place to put them i'd have had 3 already lol!
youtubasoarus I know the feeling. So many times I had to resist the urge, saying to myself, "you don't need more cars!".
Lol, so true. I just bought my 5th volvo
steve slater that is not a problem when most of your neighbors have Volvos too.
I guess that you could call my neighborhood for “the Volvo neighborhood”.
But that is not a problem when Volvos are the norm in your “kommun” i gess that you could call my kommun “the Volvo Kommun”.
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.
God damnit. Stop buying volvo's and posting them on youtube. Its driving the damn prices up.
But this one was cheap! 🤷🏻♂️😂
Hell yeah another R! Picked up my 2006 with 111,000 for $4,300 one year ago today actually. She rolled 131,000 a couple days ago.
Now i really wanna see a drag race between the c30 r-design, V70R and s60r
That will HAVE to happen!
-Hansen
@@jakehennessy7 You're probably right, but don't underestimate the lighter C30. My favorite is still the V70R though, because it's a StationWagon. (Sorry Hansen). But I bet that Hansen's S60R will become the fastest, based on his vision for it's future. It's gonna rock the block!
As a Volvo fanatic this is now my favourite channel on youtube.
We really appreciate it man. The reason we do all of these things is because of you guys out there
-Hansen
Same here. There's a lack of newer Volvo content on youtube.
Check my channel out too I mod my volvos on the channel as well.
@@johannessoonik1007 check my channel out.
Huge Volvo fan, so glad to see these 5 cylinder beasts getting some major love! Only downside with the new cars, no more 5 cylinder awesomeness, I understand why but not much beat the sound a 5 cylinder engine!
That and they got rid of the manuals! O___O I was so disappointed learning that the P3's wouldn't have a manual option.
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.
@@youtubasoarus Yeah we modify ours on my channel they're really fun but definitely would be cooler with the manual.
I feel it’s worth mentioning, although it doesn’t make 300hp, the Honda Accord V6 with a manual of that same era is also a good sleeper. Makes 255hp and 0-60 in 5.5 if I remember correctly. Can also be bought for around the same price as this S60r.
Yaaas! More Volvo’s. This is becoming my favorite channel these days. I’m stoked other people are realizing how good these cars are.
Proud owner of 3 Volvos’s... ‘04 S60R, ‘01 V70, ‘08 XC90... Great video!
Thank you! Stick around for plenty of more content!!!
-Hansen
Do you still have the s60R? Looking to buy one this week but owner says needs new power steering pump. Also an 04 with 170k miles.
Welcome to the "Volvo car is holding your wallet hostage Club"
- an s60r owner
For real man, just took out my blown four-c system with BC coilovers cause well for all for corners it's almost 5gs😂 fuk that
Göteborg is proud of you guys
springbay1 torslanda applåderar 😂
I see you guys now have Volvo Syndrome... That curious case where one gets addicted to buying Volvos and dumping their life savings into them. Welcome to the club.
“I basically wanna destroy everything” 😂 Heck yeah, that’s the right attitude 👍🏼
Yea!!!!
I'm picking up my own S60R with 123,000 miles with an extra set of wheels on winter tires. I'm excited to throw lots of IPD parts at it
I've got a lot of those IPD parts. I'd say look at some other options like FCP first -- they're cheaper and better for some reason. IPD is fine but the quality of their in house parts are uh... hit and miss. At least read the reviews on their site first. Some parts aren't as good as I wish they were. Overall they're still a great option. I still like them just be careful.
"Old Volvos don't die - they just go faster" Wise words from Sweden :-) Congratulations to the S60 R.
Wise words indeed! And much appreciated!
-Hansen
That's what my coffee mug at work says. I have this engine in my 94 850 wagon, so it's definitely true.
m00se_77 I’m a camaro guy but this comment gave me chills lol
Spreading the Volvo love! Awesome 👏🏼
173k for a volvo is nothing really
Break-In miles!
Yeah but when he started it that white smoke point to the PCV issue. He should check the pressure on the engine to be safe
depending on who owned it
@@LowerAnimal good point. There are some real barbarians out there!
A friend of mine got an old Volvo 940 with about 435k miles on it and it still runs perfect
Great to see you all have Volvo projects. Can’t wait to see the sport kit on it. Picked up those rims and threw them on my 98 S70 T5, they look amazing. Look forward to seeing all your Volvo projects.
Sport kit is definitely a mod I’d like to do. They’re pricey though. Maybe we’ll take a trip to the junk yard :)
-Hansen
The channel is getting better and better. Good choice 😄
I love your channel. I've had countless Volvo's. Currently have a 04 V70R 6 speed. Im living vicariously through your builds.
Might as well change the channel name to shifting volvos
😂
BACKED
Love the fact that this channel has turned almost completely into a volvo enthusiast channel! Did you know that in Finland v70/s60 R cars cost around 10-20k depending ofc of the mileage, otherwise I would have one... I have to be happy with my v70 -06 D5. Keep up the great work! There isn’t a channel like this in youtube!
You guys are the reason we keep doing what we are doing! Also, these cars are SICCCKKKK!
-Hansen
Somehow i ran into a 2001 t5 with 96k miles for 800 bucks. Bought immediately, guy thought trans was fucked but he reset ecu and never let it relearn his shift patterns... best cars you can buy for the money tbh
This'll be good. I bought my first Volvo - a 1996 850R - with 178,000 miles on it. The odometer died at 220,000, and I'm pretty sure it broke 250,000 before I donated it to charity.
Oh this is fantastic. Makes me wanna dive into my 850R...
Bought mine 2004 S60R last year for $2500. All new suspension, brakes, rebuilt axles, fluids, filters and tune up.... you will be surprised how much is needed and spent to get it to stage 0.
Sweet deal!!! Yeah we’ve got a lot of work ahead.
-Hansen
New favorite channel, someone finally appreciates Volvos
Welcome to the $R brotherhood! I've had my 2004 for 7 years and 200,000 miles. These cars can do some really crazy things. You got a good deal, look forward to see what you come up with - I will say that getting 400HP streetable is pretty easy, and can get the awd to stay happy (hint: weld the angle gear/sleeve) and then "add lightness". These things are indeed a HEAVY PIG out of the box... it doesn't feel it, until you push it hard.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Another step closer to changing the channel name to ShiftingVolvos, a niche worth giving a thought.
🤔🤔🤔
I've owned one 2 years, bought at 150k for 3800, completely run down maintenance wise , a TV waiting to go and blown 4c..
I've put about 4,000 & a lot of time into it... I haven't even started modding yet. But shes riding like new at 180k now. Leaky radiator, a rear wheel bearing and brakes waiting.. not many things left I haven't replaced.. except the entire drivetrain is still original..
this channel has slowly become my favorite channel. I love seeing people care for and love the car I love myself (2004 V70R). I love seeing more and moore volvo’s and hope to continue to see more. Great work! Now you guys need an older rear wheel drive volvo drift car
Nice! Maybe i will start my V70R -98 FWD manual gear box a try this spring. Damn money pits these cars when you start tuning. Upto 400hp is cheap but after that it starts to cost too much.
Loving the volvo’s, keep them coming guys! S60R the choice of the WRC for the safety 0 car, sounds great in a forest!
Great Buy, my 2nd favorite Volvo! 85% Huh? Volvo enthusiast have once again proven their loyalty to the Brand. Can't wait for further updates on all 3 vehicles. Merry Christmas / Happy New Year GUYS!
This was a fantastic early Xmas gift to myself 😂. It’s gonna be a great new year with plenty of Volvo updates!
-Hansen
You guys have turned into one big Volvo family. Lol! I like it because there aren't a lot of performance Volvo video's. IPD makes some good stuff and their exhaust is one of the best out there for the S60R and V70R. With so many miles I'm sure you'll need to replace the timing belt and water pump. Looking forward to the content coming from this channel.
It needs to be changed. Lol. At that milage you should change the timing belt and water pump as part of preventative maintenance
I love putting the gap on unsuspecting cars in my Volvo 850 turbo. So fun to see there face 🤣🤣
What cars are you gapping?
@@RT-rv5be nothing to crazy mostly Civic si. Haven't came accross a new turbo one yet. Acura RSX, Cobalt SS cars of that nature. They don't expect the volvo to pull away or hang right next to them. Once I get bigger injectors and go e85 the car will run low 13s . So that will be a whole lot more fun. :)
@@765garage Well done, boss. Good luck your mods.
Love it. Can't wait to watch this develop and soo pumped it's Hansen on this build!
YESSSSS!!!
-Hansen
What THAT supposed to mean!?!? 😂😭
-Gregson
They are great till they break! Special struts are 600 dollars each... The driveshaft is 1000... 1500 average to fix the AWD unit when it goes out, the infamous "bevel gear".. Wait till the rear knuckle break$..... Lol.... A wonderful daily if you leave it alone and drive it sensibly. Also great in the snow...
Congratulations! My 2004 S60R is pretty much identical in terms of colour and interior. You may have your work cut out to autocross it though. Mine is best on long curves and high speeds. So comfortable and such a sweet motor. Mine really pulls.
Thank you! Yeah this is probably going to be an underdog story in autocross, but we’ll see how it does. Lots of work to do.
-Hansen
Next Volvo should be an old RWD manual one. Maybe 240 Turbo coupe ? I'm sure there are still some around or maybe just and 850R or Gen 1 C70 manual
How do you just get more interesting and more interesting projects?!
Welcome to the Swede side!!! So excited that the channel as a whole has fallen in love with Volvos.
With these fantastic cars, it’s easy to fail in love with them
-Hansen
We just recently bought an 08 S60 2.5T. Can't wait to tune it and lower it and change the wheels and exhaust. The S60R is a cool ride. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Nice,love it,keep the awesome Volvo content coming!
He’ll Yeahh I’ve always wanted to see this project in action 👊
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. :)
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.
EXTREMELY interested in the AWD controller. What’s the deal with that?
-Gregson
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.
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.
That’s fantastic advice. LSD should be allowed within the STU class so that’s going to be a critical mod.
As for tires, we’ll have dedicated summers, maybe re71r?...
And hopefully KW coil overs. We shall see
-Hansen
Volvo for Life! Yeah!!! 😎👍
This is the best thing I have ever seen on UA-cam!!!
S60R MASTER RACE!
I AM SUBSCRIBING!!
RIGHT NOW!
Hope there’s more videos already out.
There are! Check the playlist🙂 and channel homepage
Loved what you did at the beginning there! Great vid, great car! always wanted one.
Thanks!
powerflex black-series bushings, do 88 intercooler and radiator, bc racing coilovers, a custom tune and you have a race car
I have a S60 of 2006 too but it is only a 2.4D 163 hp. This one is one of my dream cars
Nice purchase ! That 5 pot is nasty
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.
Definitely recommend sleeving the lower block around the piston walls. Picked my 07 up for 1200, w 101k.
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.
Subscribed, S60s are awesome.
Looks like the entire shifting lanes crew is falling in love with the volvos
More Volvos? Subscribed !
My girlfriend has a 20054 T5 S80 AWD with 225,000 miles and it’s is a rock solid reliable beast.. I have a 2011 E90 328i xDrive with 183k.. I’m always doing crap to keep mine running good.. hers is way less demanding than the BMW in repairs.. I think I’ll be looking at a p2 S60 R pretty soon since they are great cars for the money.. I really like them.
I think my S60r came with the drilled and slotted rotors stock but it also had the factory aero kit
Also your gonna want to stage 0 it first meaning replace powersteering pump, water pump, cam seals cam belt serp belt all hoses check the firebox, tens pully all coolant lines theres a long list im close to getting mine stage zero done.
Agreed. Some good things have been done though, according to the dealer that I bought it from, which I trust, somehow..., but the angle gear was replaced and pcv system was done 30K miles ago. But yes, stage 0 is a good call
-Hansen
Awesome purchase guys, this is a great car
the sound is just gorgeous . i get shiver everytime. fuck. i miss my s60 r 😫 still has an s60 2.5t .
I own a 2007 volvo s40 T5 R AWD and It's SO GOOD.
Cant wait for this build!!!
Good luck. Can't wait to see what you can do. Also say goodbye to u-turns
lol I just got one last summer with 176k for 2000. It's crazy how good of a steal these can be in terms of engine. They stay strong and keep pulling. Everything else will and does break tho
20k € here to expensive
For 5k € i got myself a 2.0t 180hp
What a deal!!! Crossing our fingers right now
I got a s80 v8. Really nice car.. love it!
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.
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. Some of the slower autocross course layouts will be bad for this car, and the faster speed ones will be a lot better. Hopefully tightening up the suspension will make everything for the better. We shall see
-Hansen
@@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. :/
Yeah course design is gonna have a big impact. I still prefer the most rubber I can fit within reason and still live with some rubbing. Hopefully I can fit 245 or 255 with no problem here.
As far as cutting into the fender, that will be a huge undertaking, but I’m totally down for going to widebody. And I think that needs to happen haha
-Hansen
@@ShiftingLanes Totally agree with you there. And in case you haven't seen it already, here's some inspiration for you. S60R race car ua-cam.com/video/U5G48jvO-LE/v-deo.html Pay special attention to what it's competing along side with ;)
Thanks for the link! I love the Kpax car. This stuff is inspirational lol!
Hell yeah cant wait to see what u do too it i have a 04 s60r red passion, u can push 600hp with stock internals but would be a good idea to shim the motor first then fmic and bigger turbo and tune and your set cant wait...
We’re planning on shimming the block, hopefully in late winter or early spring! We’ll make a video on the process too
-Hansen
@@ShiftingLanes i plan on doing vids on repairs as well because through our fb which gregson is part of so you will have some help with that car and some knowledge from some of the tuners on our page, cant wait till its done..
You should hit up Cyan which is a swedish racing team that builds volvo racing cars :)
Congratulations! Good choice!
YES! Everyone has a Volvo.
Like like like loving the volvo videos here in the UK
Not sure how well the 4wd system will work in autocross. From what i’ve been told the Haldex system is pretty shite when the going gets tough
It will depend on the course. The tight, slow speed courses might be terrible. But it might excel in the high speed, long courses.
Bruh the beginning had me cracking up 🤣
Yeah man love this car! Timeless design
Good vid. Tell the other Shifting Volvo guys to cap it at 12 minutes or so. Looks like no original suspension, but super clean. Nice. Need to find ways to drop weight for racing, I'm thinking. My son has his first car... 03 s60r he got for $500 that the other guy didn't do the work on, we are, and it is coming along. Auto trans unfortunately.
Nice! My Dad just got a s60 2.5T with 90,000 miles for $3,600. May I can use this vid to convince him to turn it into a race car
Just bought a 2001 Volvo S60 from an auction at 900. Replaced the battery, and... it runs. Everything seems pretty decent. I want to make this. Lifer car. It has 260k miles. I want to make it to a million! Any tips?
I got a 2006 s60 t5 m66. It got totaled. But engine and trany are A1. I want to swap it into another car but I dont want a s60r or something heavy like that. Do you have any idea what would be best?
I’m glad you have a Volvo s60r I drive a 98 Volvo s70 t5 5speed
Yea, I picked up a XC70 last year with 122,000 miles on it for $6k. Hard to beat a Tank that gets 32 MPG on the freeway if you keep your foot out of it.
Going to be sick 👍
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.
Subscribed for Volvos :- )
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.
Can confirm. The VR was transformed with the exhaust and stage 2.
-Gregson
@@ShiftingLanes very nice. you need to get a FMIC if it hasent already been done. makes a big difference. the s60r is prone to heat soak and will nee one the stock inter cooler is small and not very efficient
you got really lucky to have one with all that already done. . im jealous. i beat the shit out of mine with 180k on it and was still pulling hard as shit
I have watched enough of these videos on the Volvo S60R that I think I am starting to understand why they should be appreciated more. Just wish I could find a manual that doesn't have nearly 200k miles on it.
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.
Would you like to trade Volvos, I have the P3 S60R. That P2 you have was the original Volvo that got me interested in them
We are very happy with ours but thank you!
-Hansen
How did you manage to keep a straight face with that intro?🤣🤣
It be fun to se a vlogg you drive the s60R s60 polestar 6cylinder and the s60 polestar 4cylinder. Can s60R stand up to the polestar.
I’m about to buy a 2005 S60R what should I look out for? Specifically in Volvo’s? *work for BMW and sales friend is giving it to me*
Get a chip with boost controller pull more boost out your turbo. Bigger injectors and higher volume fuel pump. The evo will be in your rear view mirror for less than 2k.
Where else on UA-cam will you find better Volvo, car guy content... I'll wait
The crazy son of a bitch did it!
Welcome to the "Three Volvos" club. Space becomes something of an issue from here on out.
i have aa 2004 s60r and im having a boost issue , the boost pressure sensor is saying that its reading like 30psi which isnt true. my boost gauge is reading 13psi max, but it throws the car in limp mode because it thinks its over boosting, have you heard of this issue or know anything about it?
