Full transcript

1. 0:00What's going on, YouTube? I know it's
2. 0:02been a minute. I know I haven't really
3. 0:03been uploading like that. Um, just had a
4. 0:06lot going on in life. Truthfully, I
5. 0:09haven't been moved to really use social
6. 0:11media like I did back in the day. So,
7. 0:14that's kind of why I went ghost. I
8. 0:15stopped uploading on YouTube and I
9. 0:18stopped using Instagram and really just
10. 0:20posting about my cars. But regardless,
11. 0:22today I am here to reveal to you guys
12. 0:25the S60T5M that has been known in secret
13. 0:29and it's known as the Green Mamba. So
14. 0:32without further ado, let's get into it.
15. 0:34So here we go. The Green Mamba T5. This
16. 0:38is a 2002 Volvo S60 T5 that I've built
17. 0:43from the ground up. I got this car when
18. 0:46it was bone stock. It was a basic tan on
19. 0:50tan S60T5. It was an original 5-speed
20. 0:54manual, but outside of that, it was tan
21. 0:56on tan. So, I'm not trying to make this
22. 0:58video too long and drawn out, but I'll
23. 1:00quickly go over the modifications. This
24. 1:03car has a custom rear bumper just like
25. 1:05my black car. As far as the rear bumper
26. 1:08goes, this is a facelift rear bumper
27. 1:10that I used as a base. I made a custom
28. 1:13vent for it. And normally there will be
29. 1:15a grill that I put back here, but like I
30. 1:18said, I just finished painting this car.
31. 1:20I still have work to do. It still has to
32. 1:21be wet sanded and buffed, and I still
33. 1:24have to add more things to it. So, um,
34. 1:27there's that. And the exhaust also has
35. 1:30to have some work. As you can see, it
36. 1:32sticks out too much for my taste. And
37. 1:34the roof still has to be painted. Custom
38. 1:38LED tail lights, which may be hard to
39. 1:40see. I'll probably add um a clip in when
40. 1:43it's darker out. Um custom tail lights,
41. 1:46custom duck bill spoiler on the back.
42. 1:49This car has the postf facelift late
43. 1:51model mirrors that I swapped on. The
44. 1:54carbon fiber duct on the side of front
45. 1:56bumper.
46. 1:58This car uses four piston Brembos as
47. 2:02well as drilled and slide rotors with
48. 2:04ceramic brake pads and a fully molded
49. 2:07widebody kit. Now, before anyone tries
50. 2:10to come in the comments and, you know,
51. 2:12call me out or say, "Why do you have
52. 2:14that huge splitter?" blah blah blah,
53. 2:16whatever, I want to show you guys this
54. 2:18car was actually built to be a track
55. 2:21car. That's the whole intention of why I
56. 2:23built this car. And this right here is
57. 2:26chassis mounted. So, I can step on it
58. 2:28and you could see the car is bouncing.
59. 2:32That's not the camera moving. That's the
60. 2:34car that's bouncing.
61. 2:36So, um, you can see I have some splitter
62. 2:40rods right there, and you can see a
63. 2:42chassis mount beside my intake filter.
64. 2:45So, I'll actually pop the hood on this
65. 2:47car. Um, but Treadstone TR11 front mount
66. 2:50intercooler, custom, um, intake. And you
67. 2:53can see there's some holes drilled in
68. 2:55the bumper. That's where the bumper duck
69. 2:57goes. I have to put that in.
70. 3:04This car I just got finished with
71. 3:06painting, so it's still a work in
72. 3:08progress, but so I have the hood vents,
73. 3:10custom front grill, custom headlights
74. 3:13just like the tail lights. Check out
75. 3:15this cool function with the lights. So
76. 3:17whenever you put your turn signals on,
77. 3:19same thing as if you put your hazards
78. 3:21on, the lights flash
79. 3:24with the amber.
80. 3:26So it's just a cool little touch. Custom
81. 3:29front bumper, custommade front splitter.
82. 3:33Um, Caplank, I believe that's how you
83. 3:35pronounce it. And I may be pronouncing
84. 3:37it wrong, but Kaplank Racing solid
85. 3:39subframe bushings, poly upper engine
86. 3:42mount. It has a power steering cooler,
87. 3:46which you might be able to see behind
88. 3:48that honeycomb grill. I'm not sure if
89. 3:49you can see it or not. And it also uses
90. 3:53power flex race control arm bushings. It
91. 3:56also has adjustable um end links and
92. 3:59just lots of other stuff. a single mass
93. 4:01flywheel, an RX7 clutch, H&R springs. A
94. 4:06lot done to this car. So, this car like
95. 4:08handles like three times better than the
96. 4:11black car ever could. And truthfully,
97. 4:15um it's like an evolution of that car in
98. 4:17every way. But I'll pop the hood and
99. 4:20show you guys more under the hood. So,
100. 4:22to quickly go over the engine bay setup,
101. 4:24it has silicone radiator hoses. It has
102. 4:26the facelift um power steering reservoir
103. 4:29conversion. Like I said, power steering
104. 4:32cooler up front. Brave Dog 1.2 L catch
105. 4:35can, custom 3-in aluminum intake. It has
106. 4:38metal charge pipes with that Treadstone
107. 4:41TR11 front mount intercooler. And the
108. 4:44one thing this car is missing is the big
109. 4:47turbo setup. So, I know that was like
110. 4:49the one of the key components of my
111. 4:51black car, but um that car has taught me
112. 4:55a lot. And one thing that it taught me
113. 4:57was when I built that car, I used way
114. 4:59too big of an exhaust size housing. And
115. 5:02it's better to take your time and do
116. 5:04things and research more first. So, I
117. 5:07definitely researched and I definitely
118. 5:09tried to do my due diligence, but the
119. 5:12art of building cars is learning and
120. 5:15learning from your mistakes. So, with
121. 5:16that, um, I learned a lot from building
122. 5:19that car. And you know, just with the
123. 5:21amount of setbacks and things I've had
124. 5:23to deal with, this car um has sat for
125. 5:26like a year. I've had to repaint it.
126. 5:28Just lots of stuff just went on. So, in
127. 5:30the future, I do plan to put a bigger
128. 5:33turbo setup on it if I keep it. But, um,
129. 5:36as the car sits right now, it's very
130. 5:39quick. It's very nimble. It handles very
131. 5:41well because of all the suspension mods,
132. 5:44and it feels very planted. So, we are
133. 5:47now in the interior of my S60T5.
134. 5:50This being a prefaceelift car and an
135. 5:52early model. It has the ugly steering
136. 5:54wheel and the ugly um odometer. I mean,
137. 5:58I could always swap the gauge faces to
138. 6:00the R1's and swap the steering wheel.
139. 6:02That's just something I haven't gotten
140. 6:04around to. But anyway, um going on
141. 6:07moving forward with more of the
142. 6:08modifications. This car has a 3D printed
143. 6:11um shift bushing. And yes, as you can
144. 6:14see, the carpet down here is currently
145. 6:16missing. The interior is a work in
146. 6:18progress. I have the interior bits in my
147. 6:21garage, but I'm still trying to install
148. 6:23stuff back after paint. Um, this car
149. 6:26from factory was, like I said, tan on
150. 6:29tan. So, this rare two-tone um, black
151. 6:33leather with tan inserts that you see
152. 6:35that's in the car currently, this is um,
153. 6:38an interior that was swapped in. And I
154. 6:41do have to clean it up some. Like I
155. 6:42said, this car sat for like a year just
156. 6:45because of the big problem I had with
157. 6:47having to repaint it. Um, long story
158. 6:50short, a bunch of white paint got all
159. 6:51over the car. Couldn't get it out, so I
160. 6:53had to repaint it. But anyway, but
161. 6:55there's some company that makes some
162. 6:57shift bushings for the actual shifter
163. 6:59base. It has those. It also has solid
164. 7:02metal shift bushings on the shift
165. 7:04linkage. And in the name of saving
166. 7:06weight, because I built this car
167. 7:08specifically to be a track car, you
168. 7:11could see the whole rear interior has
169. 7:13been removed and a fire extinguisher put
170. 7:15in. But I'm pretty much over the whole
171. 7:18boy racer stage of my life. So, I'm
172. 7:20probably going to put the rear interior
173. 7:22back in and keep this car as a track
174. 7:26ready street car. And as you can see, I
175. 7:29did a single wiper conversion. also in
176. 7:31the name of saving weight on this car.
177. 7:34I will definitely maybe make a couple
178. 7:36more videos of it, but this is how it
179. 7:38sits currently.
180. 7:40And with that, I just wanted to end off
181. 7:41this video by saying thank you guys for
182. 7:44watching. And I also wanted to let you
183. 7:46guys know, believe in yourself. I am a
184. 7:49testament to that with all the cars I've
185. 7:52built, even outside of Volvos in my
186. 7:54life, doing these crazy big turbo
187. 7:56setups, custom making my own bumpers,
188. 7:59painting cars on my own, you know, just
189. 8:02generating my own parts and doing my own
190. 8:04things. I never went to any automotive
191. 8:06school or anything like that. You guys
192. 8:09truthfully have to believe in yourself
193. 8:12and believe you could do things. Go out,
194. 8:15do research, try to learn, watch YouTube
195. 8:17videos, learn from somebody who knows
196. 8:20something, but believe in yourself. Do
197. 8:22your due diligence, research, believe
198. 8:24you could do something, and you could do
199. 8:26it. My cars are a testament to that. And
200. 8:28I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Take
201. 8:30it easy.
