Rob's C70 T5 AWD

I think that the coupe is so much more elegant than the convertible... Horbury did this so well...

Rob

Can already say it is the best thing to do to one of these. Chalk and cheese. The only problem I can see at the moment with running the auto ecu is the slight delay in returning to idle speed, tis a little funny between gear changes. It is still very acceptable and I wouldn't be in a crazy rush to change to a manual ecu.

Awesome.
I had an S70T5 manual quite a while back - it was a really nice example too.
MUCH nicer than the V70T5 auto to drive.

Rob

Still have to sort out the cruise control.... but that is no biggie.

Rob , I think I will use these trim bits for my piano black project , i can patch the dings then.....
When the 70R gets here I will make sure they are good and you can use. those trims if you wish.

Rob

Sounds good Les. Let me know when you're ready...

Rob

Black Badges :)

also repaired the minor damage to the boot garnish from number plate screws and straightened up the number plate.

Did the C have twin outlets on zorst in that rear bar before ?
I saw one today , hadnt noticed that before.

Rob

Nah, it had an oval chrome tip thing. I hate chrome exhaust tips. Much rather the 3 inch pipe just sticking out the back.

Rob

New shoes today.

Couldn't help myself and had to experiment with fitting the red bits per Cam's S60R @CamZH

No doubt there will be people that don't approve but I like them.

Went for 215/45R17...... has improved my turning circle beyond imagination. I can actually get into a carpark at a shopping centre now.

You didn't say the tyre?

With the red should the grille be red too?

Ash is getting colour stitching on the new gearshift and handbrake boots. Yours could be red?

AshDVS

The car sits much better with an appropriately sized tyre - even in this pic it looks much better.

Grabbed some NA Cams today, not expecting much but might as well.

How is it they go Rob , advanced? I see a bit of talk about it , I have them in spare engine but never thought much about putting them in yet.
Valve guide seals while you are there?

Rob

Yeah, I think I will pull the engine and fit some decent rods to it at the same time.

the general consensus is 0 on exhaust cam and + 4 on the intake cam for a standard ecu.. ARD recommend -2 and +2 for their tunes.

Plenty of people claim an extra 10-15hp on an otherwise standard car. They also claim that it lowers peak power by about 1500rpm which obviously equates to a fairly hefty torque increase.

Once again.. I don't expect much but figured I have nothing to lose.
