Man, I love your videos. I used to be the Pres of the now defunct So Cal VCOA chapter. I've owned 5 bricks over the years including an 82 242 ti. You are doing the hobby proud.

Not a lot of channels that make working a car this fun and engaging. M539 and you are just top notch for people who love cars. I do not own neither Volvo or BMW but I sit through every video like I will start working on one tomorrow. Love your content, and can't wait for a new video!

absolutely highlight of my week whenever these videos come out! good to see someone making some amazing quality content on these cars that is consistently coming out! keep it up man i love the build so far!

i wish i had knowledge like you to make such projects and work on my cars. it hits me diffrently when i see people restoring old cars.

Greetings from Lithuania! Nice to see, that there are Volvo fans outside Europe as well. Waiting for the new exhaust sound. Mine 850 T5 also waits for japanifold swap.

ey bro, this is great content 👌 over a decade ago, i was in the Volvo game and the debate was actually that the 'R' manifold flowed better - which is why Volvo made it for this car (which was the most powerful Volvo at the time). as time went on the debate continued and ppl started proving the Japanifold was better for high power builds.. Volvospeed was a top forum back then and everybody was actually tuning 850s.. i had a T-5R myself. now *any 850 is rare and your generation has moved onto these.. P2 is your '850' lol although Volvospeed is essentially dead now (having most posts 1+yr old and volvo being Chinese), there is still very useful information and it's really cool to see young ppl use it! like the 850, grab what you can now, because what's out there is out there eventually GONE.

that was an absolute win win situation honestly, better and new turbo setup and finding crap out, basically redoing the whole of worst problems inside the hood! stocked and cant wait to see the next episode! cheers from France bro

Those bolt extractors have saved my ass so many times. Worth every penny.

Fantastic, thats been my dream car for a long time. The design is timeless.

These videos rule and get me excited to work on my projects once the temps are normal again

Absolutely loving this. V70's have been my favourite for years!

Great video! Thank you for your attention to nice editing... such a pleasure to see you work on the V70!

That S60R was indeed money well spent! Love the channel and content--you've got me wanting a V70R so bad!

this series has quickly become my favorite one on youtube. absolutely love the vibe and seeing the V70R get progressively cooler every week is really interesting. historically I'm not a car guy by any stretch of the imagination, but these videos have me thinking of what I can customize on my trusty (lol) '12 Tiguan :)

This is absolutely a one content the production value and how this project has moved on since you started was completely world-class I'm excited to follow this and more!

Thank you for making these videos at the quality you are and its just an awesome project to see unfold

This series has blown up! Excited for the next episode

just bought a 2000 v70 glt turbo model, second on my list of dream volvos only after the v70r ofc, and watching your videos really gets me excited to start building mine. some day when im more financially responsible and have more volvo on hand experience under my belt ill pick up a v70r, but im already loving this glt, keep up the amazing videos man, its great to see more socal people building volvos!

The amount of subscribers you have is a high way robbery man, you should hit the millions already. Your videos are not only inspiring but are calm amd collected. The production is top notch. Keep up the great work man, im your fan from the pacific, GUAM, USA.

Awesome series! You inspired me to take my 02' C70 Coupe to the next level with these simple "OEM" mods.

Awesome as always, cant wait for the result next episode

Loving these vids. These V70Rs are worth saving ❤

Yo brother. You are the man. I purchased my v70r Dec of 2022 and haven't dug in as much as you have. Glad to see the improvement. Will be following mos def.

After ruining careers for photography youtubers, my boy Eillem is now taking on the car vloggers. Love the content!

Setting myself up to buy a 2004 V70R with 77k miles on it soon, your videos have been incredibly helpful while looking at the car to look for issues (and potential future remedies). Great work, can't wait to see how she turns out for you!

Just joined the channel having a binge watch. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like 👍🏻👍🏻

From Wales i love your channel I've been a volvo and saab guy for many years. Currently working on a volvo 544 which was originally imported from California! My driver has been a Saab aero estate but rust has got the better of that so decided to look for a Volvo xc70 and that's how I found your channel, thanks for all your filming

Love all these different camera angles too mate. So good!

I sure do appreciate you for sharing your journey working on these wonderful cars.👍🇺🇸😎👏👏👏

Remember getting the video of you buying the car I’m my recommended months ago. Glad it’s we you back in it and getting to watch this lovely video. Very chill vibes man keep it up. From one volvo nut to the other much love

Excellent! Enjoying your V70R vids all the way from The Netherlands ❤

Keep this series going!

Always get excited when you release a vid!

Looking forward to watch the next one!! Keep them coming

Man I love seeing your new uploads at the top of my YT, first click of the day every time. Keep up the awesome work, that V70R is going to be sweet once you've 'finished' it 👌

I got a mk6 golf 2.5 and seeing the potential with these is so entertaining. I love these cars so much, my friend has 4 in his driveway lol.

I absolutely love your videos man! I am a big Volvo fan myself and wow I really enjoy watching you work on this beast of a car! Keep up the good work and please, never stop doing Volvo content🙏🏼

Have been watching the main channel (photography) for a good few years now, and on a side note have loved cars all my life. Only in the hunt for V70r info did I stumble across your car channel, super cool, have wanted one of these volvos for ages and is nice to see one of my favourite KZfaqrs has and works on one.

I’ve been watching all your videos for the pass few days, love it a lot. Huge likes for all of it . Hopefully will get more of the updates soon. Peace out ✌️

Man I cant wait to see the next vid with this car!! This is awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your videos are so pleasing and relaxing and I’m learning a lot about this car with you since I’m looking into getting one soon I know what to do for “peace of mind” like you said, keep it up dude hope to see the wagon running tastefully soon I’m following

I've been a big fan of your content since the film photography videos. ❤‍🔥I really liked the new videos with the Volvo. Keep up the good work! Thank you very much for taking us along on your journey. Greetings 🤙🤟Ivo

My man living the dream, youve goten lucky with those finds, the crashed S60 and the V70R. Keep up the good work, your videos are very entertaining. Hope to continue getting more content

Always excited for these videos. Im learning a ton from you and you seem so chill .

I’ve never actually been junkyard hunting for parts but it looks super fun lol. I’m going to look for some parts for my mk4 Jetta now. Love the Volvo series man. You’re crushing it!

Top notch, I own a 06 Sr installing my Japanafold and a 71mm hybrid, along with a new collar sleeve. Currently running a D088 I.C all the pipping 3” revolv dp through a 2.75” custom exhaust.

Love seeing the journey

New to the channel and just want to say your style is dope 🙌🙌 keep up the good work!

What an interesting channel, keep up the good work

somehow this project has turned into my instant "imma have to watch this" everytime you upload something new

King of V videos. - Remember when turning up the boost, that the 2.5T is known for cracking. Maybe shim it first hand? 😉😄

Yes! I've been waiting for this

The project is looking great!

Can't wait for the next video!🤩

Woow man! you are doing an excellent job as Mechanic and KZfaqr

Found you via this R series. I have always loved a fast wagon and have been eyeing these for awhile. Love the videos on the R and I have now sub'd to the channel.

Incredible! I stumbled upon your channel back when you had under 5k subs and you had only released a couple videos. Came back to check in and I'm so glad you're getting the attention you deserve. Best of luck for your channel and your projects. Looking forward to seeing what this car will be like once you put it back together and tune it!

Love this content... junkyard upgrades for the win.

Love your videos, love your car! Hello from Germany and my 2006 V70 2,5T

Great work! Much fun.

greetings from Sweden! Got a '63 Volvo Duett myself :)

Really enjoying the content lad. Keep it up. R gang.

This will be great :-) The 5 Cyl Volvo whiteblock is a blast!

Say Japanifold one more time!!. 😁 Great vid again, love them!

I swapped my japanifold with an "R" one, did it together with a 19t turbo on my 2001 V70 T5 Mt, together with a bunch of other mods: Ferrita dp and catback, DO88 intercooler with al the piping. Can't say it sounds any different after the manifold swap though. Got custom software, pulls like a maniac! Credits to your channel! Greetings from the Netherlands

Really looking forward to the next video! This is a seriously dope project :)

I miss my old v70 everyday! I had to give up after my cam seals blew. One day I’ll get another one in better condition and put all the upgrades I’m learning about here!

Buying that s60 was the biggest win here. Your enthusiasm towards this car tells me you’re not worried about the extra time you have to put in. 😂

You keep producing excellent videos! Love your content! Keep doing what you are doing! I never owned a R, but had an 07 D5 AWD Manual which I loved very much, after that I had a V60 and for the last 5 years I drove an 06 XC70 D5, All diesels due to living in Norway and diesels are much more popular here.

KZfaq lesson 1: Never sit down, the picture gets to static..., i almost closed the video for it ! Keep up the good work !!

Really nice job dude. I've only been checking for these interesting R wagons on the road in the last 10 years. Saw one last year and had a pleasant conversation with the OG owner. You cannot even get a wagon new at the dealership from what I understand. All SUV'S and traditional wagons are special order.

love your main account brotha but you've been absolutely crushing it with the car vids lately! The views are going crazy too! Keep it up and much love from a fellow LA creative and car lover.

Hey dude, I just found your channel, and I really love the videos, especially this series. Late last year I picked up my own v70, and kind of like yours, it is a bit rough around the edges. watching you restore this one really inspires me to do the same on my own. I really want to know where you learn so much about these cars and how to work on them. I am new to working on cars and the euro engineering is pretty intimidating. keep it up!!

stuff tend to become much bigger when ure tearing something down.. but then when u get it back together with replaced or upgraded parts its oh so much more satisfying!. and u know whats done and what state its in.. very nice vid! kinda envy u a bit couse i havent got a place to wrench anymore.. and standing on the street outside is just for small jobs.. keep at it.. love ur P2! edit: did a sub. wanna follow this.. take care!

I love watching other people do something I could never even begin

Awsome vid. Thanks for existing on yt.

I'm on my 2nd Volvo 850 and been wanting to upgrade to a V70R and then this video makes it's way into my life... Still plan on getting one, but good to know that you can swap the turbo, obviously with some extra mods... When it comes to being under the car for awhile, I like to get it on some ramps because they give you plenty of room to work!! If you need even more room, jack up the rear end and put ramps under the rear tires

Great vid, I did the japanifold install on my 96 850 T5 a month ago and it was a real mission. Can't really tell if there is much change in the sound but good to know it's future proofed for further upgrades

love it! // guy from sweden

Nice car bro. Love from Morocco. Have a nice day. God bless you.

Another great vid

I know it’s only been 3 months.. but it’s time for you to find a fabricator to weld up custom, pie cut, stainless steel exhaust manifold headers.. it’s next on my list after: Subframe bushing upgrade that you mentioned in your video -thank you! Ipd sway bars, HD control arms, HD Endlinks, Adjustable Toe Rods 2006 XC70 running: Elevate tune 3” Snabb catless downpipe 3” 304 stainless exhaust Borla resonator & racing “muffler” Ipd Throttle, Charge Air, Turbo inlet, coolant silicone hoses Simota cold air intake hooked up to the stock intake sucking cold air 🥶 Upgraded Turbo from Tony at A1 Turbo in CA Still need to dial in the turbo & install a BOV Running very rich right now, going to a custom tune. ENDLESS UPGRADES!! Going to be buying a salvage S60R for the engine and to do a manual swap like you did -I don’t know if an XC70 w/ a manual transmission currently exist?

I am really liking your content, and I thinking that your channel growth is going to be exponential! Too bad that we need to wait a whole week to get one episode. 🙂
