What does it actually do?

Why isn't it included as standard?

I want new XC90 with true AWD (B5 mhev) but it's sluggish as fuck by default. Will Polestar Engineered upgrade make it more in line with German cars?

What does it actually do?

Why isn't it included as standard?

How do you even have money considering how dumb you are OP?
>>
>>28707642
M/AMG/S are different models that have different engines in comparison to regular models. Polestar is software - so how much few lines of code can actually change regular Volvo shitbox?

If regular B5 has 250hp and pushes XC90 0-100km/h in 8 seconds, then what is performance of literally same car, just with Polestar installed? Does it unlock some horsepower? Does it remove 180km'h speed limitation?

Anybody has access to some specific data?
>>
>>28707660
Normally that's true of Polestar, too. Even after they went EV, some polestars have dual motors when the normal has one.
I didn't realize there was a "Polestar upgrade," not just Polestar models (didn't care). Apparently it's like an aftermarket tune (increased throttle response, automatic will shift later), but it also sends more power to the rear on the AWD XC90. I just googled a bunch, apparently it does increase torque and power while reducing the 0-60 but I can't find specifics on your model.
It's a reasonable price compared to an aftermarket tune and keeps the warranty.
>>
>>28707660
Polestar website gives power and torque specs for all of their official tunes.
>>
>>28707637
Lol what the fuck is a Volvo, didn't they get bought out by the Chinese or indians? Why would you buy one when there are so many other manufacturers to chose from?

I experianced xm and i think its kindof shit, can only imagine it's like spotify but the free version exept it costs money.
I only fuck with downloading all my music and making my own playlists off my phone or usb sticks.
I refuse to listen to ads.
the variety of xm kindof sucks like for example most channels are usually a sortof topic channel, so say for example you have an artist with like 30 fucking songs.
they're mostly going to play the worst of those 30 songs 90% of the time, it is such a drag.
if you fucking refuse to do the right thing and collect your own fucking music and listen to it without ads or requiring mobile wifi then atleast don't pay a subscription for this mediocre ass shit.

I mean, you are this board's lolcow, but German cars are another story and it depends on the make. It depends country by country, really.

For example, I would say that the 2000s and 2010s were pretty good for British cars too, just not as good as the previous times. Consider it a silver age.
>>28707729

I think that they could be, but people want bigger cars, which is why they are bloated and loaded with safety systems. They want to compensate for Newton's Second Law, it seems (also a reason why I think that Reliant had a good idea concerning body construction when it came to weight).

Of all the cars that came out of Linwood you choose the Imp?
Really?
Humber and Singer and the Imp wasn't the only Hillman model.
Lets not forget the Volvo P1800 which were created there and assembled in Sweden.

The Imp was small, smelly, noisy, hot and uncomfortable.
The aluminium engine was shite in a traffic jam, unless you like your head warped.
The Stiletto was kinda funky though, kinda like a squished Ford Consul Capri
>>
>>28708724

>all the cars that came out of Linwood

So, the Imp, Avenger and Sunbeam? Those Scots were the reason why the Imp failed to sell in large numbers to begin with. The Imp I was a pretty good car riddled with poor production quality due to its government-mandated hyperconvoluted manufacturing process.

I'd say the Imp was a good car, maybe even better than the Mini if not for the fact it actually had synchromesh on all four gears. Also, being small is a bit of a weird complaint for a car which was squarely aimed to compete with the Mini.

If that's the actual extent of why it failed mot then yeah sure get it and do the brake lines.

considering that a similar one would probably cost at least 5000€ here, at 550£ I would buy it even if it requires a lot of work

Yeah. Don’t even bother fixing anything with it. Tart it up and have some instagram doylem “detail” it. Then put it on a white background and stick the price at £25,000

The stock wheels on the Hyundai Getz GL are these shitty steelies which are 175/65 R14 so I replaced them with 205/40 R17 to provide me with more cornering traction. Plus the larger contact patch increased braking performance given that the Hyundai Getz GL doesn't have ABS.

Why would you put heavier wheels on your car? Rotating weight is the worst kind of weight.

Because I favoured traction over power-to-weight to carry speed through corners. The Hyundai Getz GL is never going to beat anything in a straight line drag race so if I can carry momentum through corners while inducing lift-off oversteer I can have more fun because more fun can be had when cornering than simply smashing the go pedal in a straight line.

Didn't see a stupid six star jap car thread so my tired ass is here. 03 forester, 5 spd, 186k on dash, more than major rust up front and/or everywhere than i want to admit. I want to know if there is any way to adjust camber on the rear in any way that I dont know about because after putting my car on my lift at work I dont really see any way to do so, and my rear tires i bought a bit ago are gonna get worn to fuck. This is a shitbox and I can and will do stupid things to it to try and get what I can out of it but would like some insight if possible. Camber is super negative in the rear and I just want to try and get it back to somewhat normal if one of you guys has a solution. I do not care if its ghetto as fuck or not, I dont drive too far in general but I love this pile of shit for very few reasons like the way the a/c and other knobs work. Pic related.
