I'm currently considering to buy a 2004 S60R with 65k miles on the clock. If you could please give me some advise as to what I should be more carefully looking at, weak points etc.

Also, the seller claims that the car's been mod (not by him) and that it shows 350hp at the wheels. Other than putting it on a dyno, how can I find out if this is correct? What are the modifications that have to be done for a S60R to reach that output?

Any clarifications would be very helpful!

I have the stage I BSR tune and have toggled between the tune and the original settings and have noticed that when in the "tuned" mode it feels sluggish, and on highway driving the car seems to "hiccup" occasionally like it loses boost for a fraction of a second. But when placed back on the ECU's original factory settings it seems quicker to respond, pulls harder, and doesn't hiccup. Anyone else experience a problem like this with the BSR tune? I also have an ELEVATE cat-back as well. Any suggestions on how to correct this expensive mods problem?

I'm new to this forum so I apologize in advance because I am sure these questions have been answered. I have looked all over the net including here and swedespeed but can't seem to find the answers to my questions. I have an 04 R (as of 3 days ago) and have installed the BSR PPC stage 1 and the ELEVATE exhaust. I'm considering adding in the near future an FMIC and boost controller but am hearing some negative things such as FMIC's are bad unless your decently modified due to decreases in air inlet pressure. After the BSR and ELEVATE cat-back is the FMIC considered beneficial? One last thing, I can't find the specs (other than hp/torque numbers) for the BSR. Does it do anything besides raise boost levels? Forinstance extending the redline limit or eliminate the rev limiter?

I tried to search for the questions prior but they didn't really show results (I tried). I found a '04 with 80k near me that seems in good condition aside from replacing two sensors. The only think that concerns me is replacement of the turbo. There seems to be no issues but turbos only last 80-120k. How much would it be to replace it?

Any other helpful new buyer hints would be great. I'm sure there are sticky threads around. Also I'm also considering the S4 as well as the WRX instead.

This is a very FAST and sporty sedan.

CAR GURU NOTES:
Externally, the S60R exhibits subtle differences from its more sedate siblings. There are the various Rs planted around the car - for example, on the spokes of the unique five-spoked R type rims, through which the exclusive R imprinted four-piston Brembo disc brakes flash. Or you might notice the quarter-inch lowering of the S60R compared to a regular S60. Or the unique front fascia's bumper, which allows more air to the twin-intercooled turbocharger and reduces lift by 25 percent. That turbocharger feeds a heavily modified version of Volvo's 208-hp, 2.5-liter turbocharged inline five. The modifications produce 300 hp at 5,500 rpm and a beautiful torque curve of 295 pound-feet from 1,950 to 5,250 rpm. Flowing through a new close-ratio six-speed manual (THIS CAR IS THE FIVE SPEED GEARTRONIC AUTOMATIC) transmission, the S60R does the 0-60 leap in 5.5 seconds. Volvo didn't stop with the engine. The company developed an electronic suspension system that couples to an all-wheel-drive layout - in Volvo speak, Four-C: Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept. A computer-controlled hydraulic-electronic dampening system allows the driver to select the level of suspension compliance. Three settings - COMFORT, SPORT, and ADVANCED - are accessible through a dash-mounted switch.

On checking the type of struts used and doing a lot of digging I have managed to locate a supplier who will sell me TWO for the grand total of £333 including VAT.A PAIR!!!!

For those of you needing a front strut you will need a Monroe C2501 or a C2502 depending on year,chassis number etc.These prices for the two types are virtually identical.
For rears the part numbers are C1501 or C1502.I believe these are the struts used by Volvo as OE.

Simply staggered that Volvo would try to STIFF their customers by around £330 for each strut.What a mark up.

with the rare ZHP package, it was a hell of a steal only $18,951 and the car only has 34,000 miles on it. i don't know if any of you are familiar with this car but it was priced so low because i guess the uy in charge of pricing it at the dealership didn't realize it was a ZHP, and the salesman wanted to honor the original price so it was a steal and a half! the car i believe originally had 235 hp and 215 lbs-ft also weighs about 3,200 lbs. so I was wondering if that car would be even close to as fast as the S60R? Like I've said before my Dad doesn't want me in too fast of the car so i hope he doesnt say that about the S60R. Back to the car it has black alcantara/clothe interior with a carbon fiber look trim, and "mystic blue" exterior color. Car and driver tested the car and it achieved a 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds and a 14.3 second 1/4 mile time, so the figures seem close, I just wanted to see if any of you have ever raced one or not and how was the outcome? thanks for replying ahead of time!!]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 05:43:57 +0000 http://www.s60r.com/forums/topic/13404-brother-got-a-330i/ New Member Here http://www.s60r.com/forums/topic/13376-new-member-here/ I don't have a volvo but I'm thinking of getting an maybe an 07 s60r next yr.

My name is Steve from New Jersey. I have recently purchased my dream car of all time! I have a 2006 S60 R 6 spd, Metallic Black/Atacama w/ 33k miles.

So far the car runs great! I had a BSR (if memory serves me right) intake put in, along with bushings for the stock strut and Heico door pins.

My plan is to eventually flash the ECU, install DP and exhaust. (Not specifically in that order)

As for aesthetics, I'm looking to have 35% tints all around, smoked tails red portion only (Anyone have this done? I'd like to see what it looks like before going ahead with it), Evolve tail trims, and if possible the OEM aero kit.

Comments and advice is greatly appreciated!

We have created a new Verified Member group. To become a Verified Member, you need to make a $4.99 donation from our Donation system using a valid credit card or Paypal account. The Verified Member payment will be refunded to you 30 days after!

Benefits of being a Verified Member?

Signals that you have validated your identity using a valid credit card
Allows you to post to the Marketplace (Buy/Sell/Trade) forum

Why is this being put in place?

As S60R.com grows and the markplace becomes one of the more popular areas to buy, sell, and trade merchandise, it has also attracted the attention of the occasional spammer, scammer or other less than desirable type. By providing a Verified Member status, we are offering an additional level of assurance for all parties involved.

Does Verified Member status guarantee a member is reliable?

No - there are no guarantees in life, of course. That said, it is a sign that a member has vetted their identity beyond simply providing a working email address.

Do other members have access to my personal information (real name, address, credit card info)

Absolutely not. The transactions are all done using the Paypal secure website, and S60R.com will never reveal your identity to another member - except under court order, of course!

What if I don't have a credit card or Paypal account?

Send me a private message and we will look into other methods of validating your identity - this may take a bit longer.

I'm already a donating benefactor, do I need to become a verified member?

Of course not - you've already validated your identity when you made your benefactor donation.

How do I become a Verified Member?

Visit our donations subscriptions page.

Cheers,

Mythbusters crew decided to revisit an old myth that was drawing the ire of the show's fans for quite some time. And it's sure to be an interesting topic to automotive enthusiasts.

When two cars collide, each traveling 50 miles per hour, does the resulting force equal one car hitting an immovable object at 100 miles per hour?

It seems like such simple physics, no? But don't forget Newton's third law. To quote the great Wikipedia of knowledge, "Whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction." Or, more simply, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Had my 2004 s60R for almost a month now, and I love it.

I'm in desperate need of a tune up. Brakes are squealing like a 5th grader, when I turn the wheel it squeaks, and the front lip is trashed like your mother. Turning radius is a bit disappointing, but all in all I love my car so much.

I'm a big time car newbie, so hopefully help me out. I'm planning to start out getting new mesh grille for the front.

Any tips for mods?
