  1. Both amazing. We bought a 2022 XC60 B6 R design last spring and it was good but then when I got my polestar V60 there was no comparison. We quickly ordered a polestar xc60 and traded in the 2022 once it arrived. We picked up the XC60 less than two weeks ago so i still haven't had much seat time as my wife keep taking it. They both drive very similar. V60 is much lower of course and completely different seating position.
  2. Man that makes me miss my T5M. Second pic looks much better. Prefer the Xc grill and dark wheels. Pic from yesterday.
  3. My thoughts exactly. Not what I was expecting... RIP Johann and thanks for the years of great posts and inspiration
  4. I used a 99 angle gear. I had originally bought cheap axles from IPD, the passenger one they offered at the time had seal locations for either 2000 or 99 angle gears. Both of those axles split boots so I just replaced them with OEM 99R axles that I pulled from my parts car. The problem I had initially was on the driver side. I had just bought the passenger axle thinking the 2000R driver side would work but it was totally different
  5. 2000R Angle gear wont work with M66 unless you can find a passenger axle that has the seal in the correct place. 2000R passenger axle won't fit M66
  6. I would pick up a new one piece exhaust manifold gasket and throw it on since you're at this stage. Sorry I missed it Andy but why are you taking the pan off?
  7. That's going to be a job a half! If only you had left your photobucket images, they would now still show.. just with the watermark
  8. I just pulled the headliner on my 2000 V70R to swap the sunroof. It's really not too bad to get out.
  9. For a limited time.. fuckers
  10. Three year thread revival! For some reason I'm now seeing all my pics again, did photobucket actually relink 3rd party hosting? Are the pics loading for everyone else? I've been doing lots of work/overhauling my P2Rs the last few years but still driving my S70 in the summer. This year I decided to insure my T-5R for a few weeks prior to swapping insurance onto my S70 for the season. It's my only automatic car and feels funny, but its fun just to cruise in. It does look like the rear main is leaking so a manual swap might be in order :) I already have all the parts. I'm going to turn the boost up a bit on the S70 this year and get my exhaust rattle fixed. lol

    Did I sell you that wheel? I can't remember :D
  12. On my S70, cold start oil pressure is over 6 bar, hot idle is 1.5 bar and cruising varies. I'll try and keep an eye on the gauge when doing a pull on the way home today. My motor was built 13 years ago and has ~50k miles.
  13. Volsquirt Looks great Matt. Best of luck with this time around.
  14. If that's the case, Iron Monkey needs to lay the smack down repeatedly until it is resurrected
  15. Trent's build thread has disappeared? http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/129184-the-great-white-north-build-thread-merge-of-854tgas-850-turbo-build/
  16. Congrats Val! Very jealous of your new workspce! Mine has now bcome my parking lot..
  17. It seems there's always somthing with these cars... I'm thinking of a new rack for my 2000R. The steering feels sloppy as F. It's like there's a dead spot at 12:00 and it's not so bad when you're driving slowly, but once you get on the hwy it's a bit sketchy. You can move the wheel back and forth slightly and the car isn't affected. Makes it hard to get a feel for the road. IDK if it's leaking but soemthing isn't right.
  18. ^^ Exactly. I hope we get to see pictures of the deconstruction :)
