Forever grateful to the YT algorithm for recommending me your channel, love the production and the "garage build" vibes
same
Thank you
@@wheelemverb super binge-able content! now we only need playlists to make binging easier.
Same! Never heard of wheelemverb and never looked up anything close to Volvo but here we are, really enjoying the content.
As a Volvo mechanic living in rustbelt Belgium, my jaw dropped when those outer tie rods immediately fell out upon removing the nut. and the subframe bushings with a little whack with a hammer :o
And the axles being able to be pushed out with a finger😂
That is not typical. Soutgern Cal has very little rust
I will never take cali cars for granted.
That would never happen in Sweden without a help of the big fat hammer. 😂🙈
or hear or grinder at the end :D @@realvolvofreak
I'm not even a Volvo owner (GTI) but saw this on a recommended; Two months later i keep binge watching this channel. Good stuff man.
the absolute shock when you just casually smaked the bushings out and they weren’t cemented to the subframe, excellent work i might do this myself
I was so jealous, usually there is a lot more fire and swear words when I am doing bushings lol
I think it might be that the rubber doesn't bond itself to aluminium as much as it does steel. Also those bushes didn't have a steel shell which definitely helps.
I thought I was going to have to take a drill to them from everything ive seen online so my jaw hit the floor when they just dropped out with a hammer tap
I've always had an undying appreciation for the V70 series, I'm still on the hunt for a good V70 N/A, the "R"'s are too hard to find here and when you do, they are extremely expensive in good nick. I wanted to say however, though I've passively worked on cars and trucks my entire life, you have most definitely inspired me to finally pull the trigger and get a V70, I'm dead set. You've also been a tremendous inspiration to myself and a couple of my friends interested in these wonderful wagons. Not only have you shown that you just gotta do it, you've also motivated me and shown me to not be afraid of tackling what seems impossible when working on vehicles. I truly appreciate you making all of the Volvo video series, for being super informative and detailed and well spoken, if not for your content, I don't think I would have moved forward with the decision on a V70. You have a subscriber for life dude, and, I'd love to see your photography work as well, which I'm sure is as mind blowing as the Volvo series. Keep up the amazing work 🤙❤️
Instead of changing bushings you could (at least here in Sweden) drive up to the junkjard and remove the subframe from a Volvo C70, they are famous because instead of subframe bushings they just have solid alumium bushings to compensate for insability that comes with not having a roof and all. But putting this in a V70R makes it obviously little less soft, but way more stability :)
would this benefit the same way in an S60R?
@@bren.nan_ Ye for sure
@@bren.nan_ The S60 and V70 have the same subframe, so any mods for one should work on the other. That being said, I don't think the C70 subframe swap works for a P2. That's a good mod for the P80 V70s since the 1st gen C70 was also built on the P80 chassis, but the second gen C70 was a P1 chassis, not a P2, so the subframe won't fit an S60R unfortunately.
@@kennethlippo1397 gotcha. thanks for the info!
Looking for a source for euro headlight’s without the amber blinkers for a P2 XC70 -are there any junkyards in Sweden you could pass along info for?
I've worked in an auto parts warehouse. The subframes are pretty heavy. It's great to see you work on this car. It makes me want to find a old Volvo Sedan. I just don't know if I could do a station wagon. Keep up the good work. I love your videos.
I live for these videos! Wish I could find a £1500 project V70R over here in the UK!
Keep on eye on T5, is without the fancy bodykit, but still as much fun, and still 250 hp, there are lots of those in UK, for buttons
Lots of v70r too, but prices are high and you still need to do all the work..
This makes me miss my C30 so much. All the weekends i spent wrenching on that car just hits me when i watch this channel.
you dont have to use red locktite on these bolts, way too much, they dont vibrate and the torque on these will hold them forever, just a lil tip, keep up the cool projects :D !!
Those wheels look amazing on that car. And dang I really want a v70 now lol. Used to have a 94 850R
Great stuff! I really like way you film everything. It's at home 'DIY' but also very professional and sharp.
Soothing, entertaining and informing at the same time. love your stuff. Excited to see what else you got coming.
I have finally found a channel that builds directly without unnecessary explanations👌👍Keep it up bro!
You deserve more subs the production value is already there ! I just moved from SoCal I wish I was back there to hangout .
This is the ONLY channel i am happy to see upload this relatable content and actual indepth view
As an xc70 owner, I find your videos both helpful and therapeutic :) You are doing a fantastic job ! Keep up the good work !
Really love the way you work on your car in such a fearless manner. Clearly you are a capable mechanic when it comes to working on these cars. Keep up the great work on your cars and videos.
My favorite channel by far, keep the content coming! I have owned around ten volvos now, mostly p2’s and there is just not enough good content out there especially with any sort of modifications. You have single handedly convinced me to keep buying old volvos 🙌
Love that you make V70R video, there are too few videos about v70R, keep it up!/ /Gabbe from Sweden
Love the work you put into this car. I was never really into Volvos, but now knowing how much you can do to one and the fun you can get out of it I'm starting to appreciate them more. I just found out about you thanks to the algorithm and went through all of your videos. You won yourself a subscriber. Keep up the good work.
Always watch your videos and just realized I wasn’t subscribed. Only time I’ve been disappointed in myself on not hitting the subscribe button.
Have done the exact same suspension overhaul to my R two years back, what a difference it made! The only thing that exceeds that excitement is the manual swap 🙂. I did it while overhauling the front suspension, you'll be thrilled after the swap. Looking forward to the m66 swap in future videos!!!
You should make a public playlist with all of the background music. Great taste
Impressed those bushings came out so easily. I'm about to replace mine in my 98 v70 and use the ipd poly inserts, but now you got me thinking I should go with delrin.
So glad that RUclips recommended your account to me. Absolutely in love with the content.
Subscriber and neighbor, owner of an '05 XC in NW Glendale. Love the shots in Angeles Crest and trying to figure out what street(s) your driving! Upgraded brakes to R Brembos, H&R spacers all around to clear the calipers, but vibration took the joy out of the project. So before you invest in new rubber, happy to share what worked for me if you need. Andy's alignment!! (best kept secret) and "When I hop" is now on the rotation. Outstanding work. Peace
I’m curious to hear what your vibration was! Came from the spacers?
I'm running the same spacers, 5mm in front & 15mm in rear. I have different wheels though, so your situation may be different. On my setup, the lip on the spacer that fits into the back of the rim was not a perfect machined tight fit, there's a small amount of play or wiggle room around the circumference of the lip where it fits into the rear of the wheel. If you take off a wheel and place it face down so you're looking at the back of the rim and lay the spacer on the back of the rim, you can see there's a wiggle room between the lip of the spacer and the hub bore of the wheel. That wiggle room meant my wheel was not centered on the hub, causing vibration. My symptoms were different than yours though, I only felt vibration at higher speeds, above 60 mph.
Another excellent video on the R. Thank you so much. First I was sceptic about the BBS rims, but man, they fit perfectly.
Hitting the like before watching, love these V70 videos! Nice editing style and great to see appreciation for these sleek wagons overseas. Keep up the good work, greetings from Finland!
She looks great in her home element... snow!
Great video!!! I hope you enjoy those subframe bushings for the years to come 😊
Living in Finland, at the nastiest rust belt... In envious of that rust free frame. And the bolts. And the car. And...
Love the V70R videos man! Please never stop upgrading this car, and boy that 5-cyl with the japanifold sounds incredible!
One thing you really should have done is replaced those Monroes with Bilstein touring struts - as you know struts are essential to handling! Never thought of just removing the entire subframe for suspension work - great idea!
The quality of your production is next level bro, much love from the UK
Great work man! You're almost a Swede now! 😊👍
the camera work is almost as good as the actual mechanical work. Damn fine video, dude!
I remember when I had my first brand new Volvo 850 T5-R back in 1996. Nice work buddy.
Loved those wheels.. Had the set on my S40 R... cleannnnest look. nice WORK!
Thank the yt gods for you popping into my recommended one day, love it sm
Dude! Your channel is blowing up! keep up the great content
Did the same job on a C70 T5, the delrin bushings are worth every penny!
Sometimes a good sound track is all you need to keep you engaged. You just gained a subscriber.
I've never seen any bushing come out that easy before. That was a blessing lol
Something fishy there
10 for work and production. Now i need to change de bushings of my subframe 😁😁
Dude I'm not even a Volvo guy and I love watching your videos.
I enjoyed watching your process of replacing parts. 😊
Drive safely and stay healthy. 👍💕💐🍀
Great video man quite enjoyable. In Sweden a V70 is one of the least exiting things ever but now looking at your videos I almost wish I had one. Perhaps you could die those leather seats I keep looking at them at every episode 😅
Those wheels look amazing on that car)))
Been waiting for your video! I always enjoy them
It's surreal to watch everything just pop off without any hassle. God I hate rust.
Planning to do pretty much the same to my R. Definitely dropping the subframe on mine, thanks for inspiring
Love your content. I wish I had the time, space & tools to do this to my 2007 Volvo S60. The steering at the moment feels exactly how you described it before you swapped all those parts but its normal I guess after 280k kms (170k miles). Unfortunately I will have to live with it for the time being. Keep up the good work tho!
20 seconds in and I see the Textar pads, not the worst but not the best. Next time you come around to swapping pads maybe see if Porterfield has a pad that fits, it’s a compound made for street cars (more made for vintage cars that weigh nothing to help get heat in the pads). They work great on vintage 911’s to modern ones from experience.
Dude your channel is a blessing from above. Keep it all up. Btw my S60R is getting new injectors because Cylinder No2 is running rich. Yay love the car but oml the bastard needs some love.
I am absolutely stoked about your knowledge, amazes me every time. Keep going love it!!
So glad I found your Volvo channel. I’d see glimpses of it on the other channel but this car is what I’m really interested in lol. Even cooler you actually do the work yourself. How are the new delrin bushings? I want them in my 850r
Great to hear some new music on this episode! Great vid as usual man!
I look forward to these man ty🤝
Tha V wagon is lookn frikn awesome!!! I love wagons. Keep up good work bro!!
Great upgrade, the Nebulas look great and gives the car a bit more stance.
I have 15mm spacers with 19” Heico rims on the R and no rubbing on the wheel arches. 15mm is on the tipping point of good taste…
Considering doing this to my Chevy Cobalt this or next summer. Its my back-up car, but getting it cushy again (as cushy as a Cobalt can be anyway) seems like it'd be a fun project
its simple, i see a wheelemverb v70r video, i click on it immediately, like, and watch the whole thing 🇸🇪🙏🏽
You have really inspired me to get a V70 R or maybe a V70 2,4 T. I did own a V70 T6 -08, and I miss that car.
v70 2.4T, now that's a rare combo in the US. Let us know when you find one.
the BBS wheels are nice but choosing them over the R wheels is crazy
i can see you have the airbag recall done
I haven't seen the other videos, yet but have you done shocks and springs? The Monroe on the dampener makes me think these are not performance oriented ones. No bigger impact on handling than springs and shocks. Great stuff!
Check the wheels are not buckled . You would see that on inner edge or when tyres off and rims on balancer . Alloys are soft and easily bent . I put a set of BOLA B1s on mine and they look super in the off gold standard colour . I run 225 50 17 on mine they are a bit comfier ride than th 45 profiles. i used to fit that size to the speed cop cars years ago when they ran volvo T5s . They look nicer too . They fill the arch better to . I paid £200 for my 2008 2wd t5 with a fault that turned out to be the intercooler after spending a small fortune . The previous owner spent a bit too chasing this fault so it was score . I love it . Mine was an ex cop car so it had plenty scars inside . A friend was scrapping a D5 2005 so i took head lining and interior and loads of other spares so it is very clean inside now . They are great cars . Where could you get a 260hp car for £200 ? The wheels cost more than that .I think i paid 250 for them bola B1s .Loads of people have the focus st over here in the uk (older t5 none vvt) 225 hp , so the wheels being the same 5x 108 stud pattern make it a simple swap . facebook marketplace is the place for that . 😁 i will get some brembos in the future . All tho i have the 316mm D5 ones currently and they are fine .
Loving the series!
doing all this to your car must feel so great.
Excessive grease around sway bar bushings will attract dirt and render bushings prematurely.
Hey man, I'm loving the v70 R content. I have a xc70 and I'm looking to do more upgrades. Your videos help a lot. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the VIDA software, and do you use the DICE reader too?. I just can't find an affordable way of modifying or testing the performance of my volvo. Thanks man
Noce. Getting me inspired to start working on mine
Your probably won't read this. But if you do then check your wheel PCD rings. Also when you take the tyres off, put the wheel on the tyre balancer and check they are all round. Common issue with second hand wheels is that they are not round.
Awesome wagon, I usually do the crest as well. Have you tried little big Tujunga canyon road? Roads there are very narrow and can test the cars handling. I usually go at night since I can see the other cars headlights and less traffic.
Top video I saw all the videos of this Volvo and I like your style, I also own a European style Ford focus mk1 van.👍🇵🇹
First time I’ve ever seen where you don’t need a 20T press for bushings (I live in the south where they throw way too much salt)
great video as always!
Love seeing a new ep on the R, keep it up!!
This video makes me miss my manual 04 S60R :(
I was going to do all that until I saw the cost in parts.
I bought a maxjax M7K lift instead, after I pay that off I'll start buying parts.
With subframe out of the way its a great time to swap the power steering lines if theyre original.
Great vid, Keep it going, could you please sort the front bumper.
Some little detail you've missed. There's a plastic washer that sits between the sub frame bushing and the metal washer. As far as i remember the purpose of those is to prevent the metal washer from touching the sub frame, which in turn generates clunks. They cost like 10-15$, be careful when ordering online, they come in pack of 4, so you need to order just one. Wish i could post the part code here, but youtube will mark it as spam and delete the entire comment.
And please, PLEASE, do not go beyond 300 hp on this engine. In order to get that horsepower, volvo engineers bored the cylinders some more which resulted in the walls being very thin and at some point its going to crack. If you want to go balls to the walls, swap it for the B5244Tx, as this engine can take the increased horsepower, provided you use adequate parts.
Me when WheelemVerb uploads a new video 12:24
Yeah dude! Great work. Keep it coming.
I’m a Volvo guy and I love the stock wheels ( Pegasus)
Thanks for sharing anyways
Is it only me who's looking forward to seeing the new paint job?
working in the tom sachs nikes 13:41 😮💨😮💨😮💨
When are you gonna fix up the front bumper? Can't wait to see what comes!
Great content, mate. How come you're in love with V70s?
Loving this as I am a Big Volvo and V70R guy.
However, my question is about your taste in music. Please tell me about the band/group you feature! That flavour and groove is so to my taste!
Who are they?
I wish i could do all this stuff myself, I spend 4 hours cleaning my car today and waxing it. Thats about as close as I come to mechanic work on my car haha!
Graaaaan video....muchas gracias por compartirlo...un saludote desde España.
Goddamn that's a sick wagon
Great video, I absolutely love your channel! Looking forward to when you get new tyres on her. Greetings from 🇬🇧 👌 😎
Nice looking car ...try some Clyde's Leather dye and conditioner to fill in the cracks in your seats
I think the design of the stock wheels was cooler, they complemented the car better in its own way, they just had a lot of rash. Maybe it would be better if they could be really tidied up.
Great video, but I’m confused why you don’t turn the caliper out towards you to make it easier to work on.
I like your videos on fixing cars.
Looks so good with those wheels
