Hello all, some might recognize me as slowvagn (formerly boostedxc) on Instagram. I formerly had a manual swapped XC70, lowered, with a B5244T5 and Rolling Motors K24 hybrid. I had the car for around 80k, and had a lot of fun with it, I was fortunate enough to give it one last hurrah to Cape Cod with @ScottishBrick and @JaredR. Upon returning to the humid south, I realized I was ready for something different.

Fair warning! This is a picture heavy post!

First order of business was removing the BC Coilovers that the car came with in favor of some KWs!

Test drive on the dragon proved a success! Even the co-pilot agrees. These coilovers are amazing and WAY better than the BCs they replaced.

Those silver headlight bezels just aren't doing it for me... and the projectors needed some adjustment anyway. Let's fix that

MUCH! Better!

The automatic in this car was shifting okay, and my original plan was to leave it that way until it got cooler in the Fall. Unfortunately, the P/S pressure line was failing to seal at the pump due to the flare being damaged, since it requires subframe removal (and I have AC at the shop)... time to get 3 pedals! This car is my 4th overall manual swap, so it was relatively straight forward. While I was at it, I went ahead and swapped in a fully stripped down and resealed B5244T5 I had laying around. This car had no signs of cracked liners... but might as well improve it a bit (I don't believe in shims)

What I can say is both of these wheels will likely make a permanent appearance on this car at some point.

Ok I have a few questions lol. How was the experience going from the KWs to brand new 4C? I assume you still prefer the KWs? Where'd you source the turbo from?

Those XC60 wheels look nice! I've always loved BBS wheels but personally, I just feel like 17s look small on these cars. Weight savings sure is nice though.
 
#45 ·
Honestly it’s a wash, there were things the KWs did better, and there are things about 4c that makes for a better daily. The only reason I went back to 4c was the massive delay to get replacement springs from KW… that being said I do not really feel as compelled as I thought I would be to swap back to them.

I too shared the opinion about 17” wheels on these cars until I got out of the realm of pegs. Also makes for more affordable tires. BBS are forged, plus extra sidewall.

Turbo was put together in house by Will

I must say, after experiencing this car in person, it's truly fantastic. The 19T walked away from me (still on stock K24, stock tune) while getting on the highway and it matches the car so well. That combined with great tires, a quaife, and 4C makes it an amazing GT car that can carve some roads in the mountains.

How difficult was the Delrin install? Seriously considering a set for both my P80 V70 and P2 XC70 after hearing how much of a difference they make to handling.

Holy siht Luke, I have those EXACT same XC60 takeoffs…. Intended for my V70.

I came in here to see if you had any details about the quaife performance and saw this. Not installed yet as I never completed the spacers for them (and the tires on my pegs are still fine). Worst thing about these is the backspacing, if you bore them and bolt right up they will be DEEP in the wheel wells….. I got 25MM spacers for the XC60 bore, will open up the hub side to the V70 dimension, and run studs on mine (eventually).

crazy though, did not expect to see ANYone put a P2 on these wheels. You’re gonna make me do a 19T now LOL

The Quaife is a game changer in my dad's NA V70
My S60 without is really disappointing compared to his NA and my R with it.

Different set, but yes.

Yes - have seen them on his 03. Nice! You've got TWO sets of those now?
