Me in Indianapolis 🙋‍♂️

There's no honor in gapping BRZ's. A Prius can do it.

@@similaritiesendhere lmfao my brother would hate you. I tell him that all the time they're barely hitting 200hp

@@Tpitgr Why? For telling him the truth? m.kzfaq.infoQhdFUwByIDs At least they look fast...

They only made 10,000 S60Rs. Only a small fraction of those were straight drive.

They are somewhat more numerous here in Europe. And I know this is one year later, but I just saw one on Bring a Trailer! A really nice one as well!!

Ye

These aren't AWD all the time. They have like a 94/6 ratio front to rear. The AWD only turns on when it detects slipping with a maximum of 50/50. So it drives more like a FWD car under normal circumstances.

No im pretty certain its not working if its stock it shouldn't ever skirt the tires. Sense i don't hear any other wierd noises im guessing his aoc pump is out or he pulled the all wheel drive pump fuse till he can fix the collar sleeve or angle gear or whatever is acting up

@@AZACKAL it’s called pushing big power pussies

Nope.

They are known to crack the block on occasion, sometimes even under 100k miles. Getting the engine shimmed if you're planning to thrash it often or tune it isn't a bad idea.

In the video, I had an OBX catless downpipe, to the stock catback with a resonator delete. Sounded really aggressive, but super restrictive. I’ve since switched to a custom full 3” with a MagnaFlow free-flowing muffler. Sounds insane, videos coming soon!!

@@itsdanslife wanna see that 100%

@@itsdanslife wheres the video?

Its either having adjustion lag or the linkage is broken

@@nolankoehn9724 these have a electronic/hydraulic system no linkages and the R's do frequently break collar sleeves and aoc pumps

I cut a bit off the original lever, & installed a threaded adapter. Call me crazy, but the spaceball just never felt right to me. It’s a Mishimoto weighted shift knob. It feels a million times better than the stock one. Just a little modification;)

Daniel Elias looks great, I want to do the same. What size threaded adapter do I need?

Eryqq I used a 12x1.25 threaded adapter. Works great, just need to trim the top of the spaceball shaft. I cut about an inch or so.

@@itsdanslife Great, i just got myself a silver mishimoto shift knob, excited to put it on :)

@@itsdanslife can you do a short video to explain how you did it?

Nah. The S60 is common but the S60R is pretty rare around here aswell. (From sweden)

@@Adassity there's one for sale in southern California it's a 05 manual for only $3,500 in good condition.

@@illegalalien4444 i bought it! If your talking about the silver/nordkap one. It ended up having a cracked block or a bad head gasket idk yet im about to pull the head today. But i got scammed by that guy. Always bring a leakdown tester if your looking at any 83mm bore whiteblocks

@@ryansoltysiak2394 was that the silver one in Moreno Valley? I almost checked that one out. Ended up buying my passion red in November

@@kylemontano228 yeah it was lol

Bro this 5 cilinder is one of the most reliable engine of all time

@@tomashoustek6755 I think it's 2.5T modern ones, man there are nightmare stories about S60R reliability so I'd rather not risk

@@bag2963 The engine itself is pretty reliable. The problem is with the other R things, like 4C. Also there are non R specific stuff like bushings go bad pretty quick, or the power steering reservoir leaking..

@@zsszeli Thanks for a reply, but what's the point anyways if the other components will not function well, I would only buy it if I lived in Sweden and Jaguar-UK.

@@tomashoustek6755 only thing "not so reliable" with the R's are the 2.5 and some 2.4 bore dimensions. The 83mm bore leaves the cylinder lining super thin against other cylinders. You can combat this by either resleeving or buying a 2.4/2.3 with the 81mm bore. I believe Daniel has a b5234t3 instead of the R's b5254t5
