alistairpatterson1 Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I picked myself up a 2000 C70 T5 the other week as a second/project car, and I am really inclined of the idea of doing it up a little bit, nothing excessive, but I would like it to be an overall better, higher performance, better handling car at the end of it. Currently it's in the garage for new coilovers and spark plugs to deal with a misfire. The roof was done in 2014, it has been regularly serviced with a pretty spotless MOT record over the 79000 miles and 20 years it has been owned. In terms of things to fix that are not cosmetic I believe it could use a new steering rack, and it has the stopping distance of a 747 jumbo despite new pads so I am forseeing a seized calliper and definitely new discs. Any recommendations on some discs or calipers that will not break my bank? Other than that my intentions are to tune it to a stage 1, potentially look at upgrading the wheels to 18" alloys from a newer volvo model, and maybe a new intake underneath. I am entirely open to suggestions as to what the best/most noticeable/cost efficient upgrades on these cars are, and if anybody has done something similar with a T5 of this era and can help that would be much appreciated.
