Traded in the Si

Blurry · 05-06-2008, 12:46 PM

After much thought, I decided to trade in the Si. Got something a bit bigger, a bit faster. Volvo S60 R, AWD, 6spd. rated at 300hp. I must say this thing is nice, comfortable and fast.

Those Volva S60 R's are hot. But ... Ford owns them now. Good luck

Sweet! I love the S60 R's. My friend has had one for a few years and it's been great. Get a chip for it, it'll make it a lot faster and I think it removes the first gear boost limit also.

Nothing wrong with new Ford's, I've had better luck with my newer Fords than I had with my Si, the reason why I traded it in.

The plan is a tune, exhaust, springs.

Congrats on the purchase! I've been a Volvo fan since I've owned an S40, even with all the problems it gave me. LOL.

But it's a slushbox

Actually, it's manual. They come in Manual variants. The shift "boot" is actually plastic that covers the entire thing, so instead of a leather boot, it's enclosed as you see in the pictures. kthxbai.

O. That tiny pic looks like a gated shifter for an auto... what a weird design.

It's actually what I liked best about the interior:

Close-up for you.

that is certainly a conversational piece... i guess you'd have to warm up to it. Currently, I still like the traditional accordion style better than that!

B-Stylz · 05-13-2008, 02:20 PM

That is a totally different ballgame. Good luck with that.

I wouldn't want to trade in my FA5 for anything really... Plus Cars like volvo's isn't that great, Now if you were thinking about getting a 4B11 thats a different story. But other than that FA5's are very content to have..

Actually, it may not look it here, but Volvo tuning is quite big in certain circles.

Implosive_Disgorgence · 05-13-2008, 11:30 PM

i wonder what that feels like too shift

Ummm.. you must mean the 4B11T... since the standard 4B11 is nothing spectacular... and BTW 4B11 is an engine code, whereas FA5 is a chassis code... For consistency sake why not refer to the Evo X as a GS41 or an Evo X........

FA5 is to GS41
as
K20Z3 is to 4B11T
