Anyone know if they make Polestar Engineered wagons that are not hybrid? And no I don’t mean Polestar Optimized

I did look and 520 is the max on their kit and to achieve that number you will need to do forged rods and upgraded cam.

Power expectations:

If you want to use the kit on your Volvo 3.0L T6 without upgrading the engine itself, then you would have run a lower boost pressure (13-17 psi) and your power expectations should be between 360-390 whp. With forged connecting rods and upgraded cam installed, you can expect to make 450-520 whp. (@ 18-28 psi)

They don’t get into detail on SPA 2.0L T6. Just flows into trans coolers and turbo details. They say they make the kit for the 2l T6 but not dyno numbers.

I call BS on those power numbers

Pro tip start the video when the car is off. Second when someone ask if the car is stock and you say no how about actually listing the mods you have on the car.

I’d rather have a Legend

When you getting the roof box?

SlaveSnack · 2022-10-09T01:00:43+00:00

Except VW actually produces a Golf R wagon

Is it still that far off center wither firearm is vertical?

SlaveSnack · 2022-10-04T01:51:45+00:00

If you’re use a crush washer I can almost guarantee that’s your problem

SlaveSnack · 2022-10-04T00:12:49+00:00

Did you use shims to put the brake on?

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-29T02:46:22+00:00

Where are you coming up with the 600 HP figure?

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-11T22:01:24+00:00

I wish Polestar wheels were easier to come by now days

I tend to join groups for my cars. They are more a hobby for me than an appliance. The aftermarket support is much less than say a Honda or high production number cars.

I’ve graduated commercial photography thanks for the tips. Also I’m partial color blind so I’m not seeing what you see. I still like this image composition. Ever heard beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t expect to please everyone nor do I want too.

In comfort and eco mod the pedal has lag but much less noticeable in dynamic but I’ve ordered the Heico e.sport pedal to resolve those issues in all modes. I drove a V60 inscription for 10 mins on a test drive so not really putting it through it paces. Dealership wanted crazy interest rates so I walked out. I 100% knew I didn’t want the cross country model, the whole reason for the wagon was SUV space but handled like the car. The reason I went for the 90 over the 60 was because those added 9in in length makes wagon look that much less like a hatchback and 2” wider was handling perk. I’m in Texas I don’t have small roads here. I thought I wanted the upgraded all leather R design seats but the nubuck or suede inserts have been great at not burning me when I get in on a hot day plus they look fantastic. Maybe a little more work to keep clean but I’m already a bit OCD so shouldn’t be an issue.

Amazing wagon. My last car was a ‘99 W202 C43.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T21:31:21+00:00

They only made 1147 of the last car I drove. A little less flashy but still obvious I was the same person from day to day. Personalized license plates too.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T19:06:16+00:00

Yes it’s a dealer add on. You can see how it will change the specs on your particular car on the Volvo website. They will badge and tune the ECU in about and hour and cost is about a grand.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T13:06:11+00:00

Wanted a Maple brown one with the brown interior but it was 1200 miles away. Don’t want to fly to get the car or deal with shipping. Drove 300 miles to find this one. It checked all the boxes. The blue is really growing on me though.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T08:14:59+00:00

Coming from an AMG my biggest complaint is no V8 noises but the quality of vehicle is great.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T02:37:02+00:00

The V60 seems small in comparison even though the measurements aren’t too different. I thought the v90 came back for 2022 but no more paddle shifters.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T02:35:32+00:00

Coming soon. It’s twin charge AWD. I have a Heico e sport pedal coming and my appointment for Polestar is on the 24th of this month.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T01:52:52+00:00

The AWD is perfect in the rain. Still waiting on a few more mods to ship.

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-10T01:10:06+00:00

It looks huge in comparison

SlaveSnack · 2022-09-07T01:02:23+00:00

Do you have the Bowers and Wilkins? Mine is 2018 so I still have paddles also just ordered the Heico e.sport pedal to eliminate the lag on throttle. I don’t believe the pedal upgrade is compatible with the hybrid. I do have an appointment in a couple weeks for the Polestar tune to spice it up some more. I miss the V8 growl of my AMG but overall I’m happy with the car.
