lookforjoe Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Most in place again, Forgot to ask - what application is that intake runner flange for? Looks like a good basis for custom manifolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caanglin Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Traded the RS500 for a 2013 C70 Tourer Inscription. This is not the car you are looking for. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoLonY Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 K16 the C70 and you'll have as much fun as you want in it, the GT can handle the torque no problem with a gearbox cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Forgot to ask - what application is that intake runner flange for? Looks like a good basis for custom manifolds It is a shortened 960 manifold. This is not the car you are looking for. No but the wife is happy with it.. K16 the C70 and you'll have as much fun as you want in it, the GT can handle the torque no problem with a gearbox cooler. Maybe a Polestar tune later on. For now it is quick enough.

Kevin. Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Forgot to ask - what application is that intake runner flange for? Looks like a good basis for custom manifolds like JoHann said, it's from a 960. They have a little rail like that with rubber attachments that go to the intake manifold which would make for a very easy ITB setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Eibach added, In the mean time Emiel is taking care of the S60R, Emiel wanted to exchange a steering shaft seal/bearing and some other small things but the car has developed some more issues with either ETB or MAF. Ordered 4 new shocks and an Eibach Pro kit for the car. Volvo's pricing on e-shocks is criminal. Managed to buy a set for less than half the price.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 R is still in Emiel's hands. Received a new MAF and fuel pressure sender today which makes the parts order complete. (for now…) Will bring them to Emiel tomorrow. I hope the level senders on the rear axle play nice.. Drove the C with the top down at 6 degree C .. Not comfy. Car is now lowered, 19x8.5 ET40 Motec rims with Kumho 235/35-19 tires. Pretty comfortable ride I must say. Also added a Polestar tune because the wife complained about lack of torque.. The tune does make a difference to the extend that now the performance of the 5 cylinder is just right for this car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Something I'll never hear from my soon to be wife. I think it's because normally she drives the XC60 which has a diesel engine and 420 Nm of torque. Manual also. Once the turbo comes on there is really something happening instead of a lot noise and slip RPM from the C70's AT which doesn't immediately translate in to acceleration.
