Volvoson Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Definately a suitable replacement, but it's never "the same" :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMK33 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 The R is awd, can't just swap it over, wish I could man.Huh?I'm talking about the side turn signals from your T-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Rwagon Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I cant stand those rear bumpers. It either has a dual exhaust or it doesnt... anyways, nice new ride though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playboy Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 My T5 couldn't be replaced, but here is my new Rrrrrrrr. I picked it up in poughkeepsie, NY a week ago. Was well taken cared for, a laundry list on replaced items. I'll be driving this back to SoCal next week:Here is picture of my mom's '98 V70R. We've had it since new:damn! Nice score dude. I'm about an hour from po-town! Wasn't that car for sale on here?-Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshV70 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Very nice!! Looks very clean too. You'll like the awd. If you're not really looking to mod it, I would just tell you to pick up the 2000 R dual exhaust from the dealer as it only runs around $300 dollars. Love the Solars as well.

AGBullit235 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks guys for the comments!Yep, it has the black interior with aluminum trim. Does not have the Dolby, and I have to say that I think the SC-900 sounds worse than the SC-816.. which I thought sounded pretty good for a stock unit. But still not bad.Yeah this car was on ebay for a couple of weeks. The guy put allot into it, as did the previous owner. It has:New front shocks (OEM)New CV boots both sidesNew windshieldNew downpipe/CAT (aftermarket.. blah!)New floormats (R emblem)New from bumper skinNew Rear calipers, rotors, pads (OEM)New from rotors, pads (aftermarket)New endlinksNew timing belt, tensioner, H2O pump @ 102kIt was pretty well cared for, not one ding on the body, just on the rear bumper.The T-5 could be crushed by now for all I know, so no I didn't buy it back.

ViperVette Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'll take those guages off your hands Sweet find man. On the bright side you don't really have to change your sig picture that much... just change the T5M to R and your g2g! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGBullit235 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Good to see the recovery was quick, Alex. Silver on black is my favorite color combination.Sell me your steering wheel! Sure, tell you what we'll trade cars up straight. haha. No? Please?If you're not really looking to mod it, I would just tell you to pick up the 2000 R dual exhaust from the dealer as it only runs around $300 dollars.Yeah that's what I'm probably going to do. I had grand plans with the T5 to do a dual outlet. I had the bumper on, just didn't have the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
