I have just aquired a 1998 S70 T5 Automatic. 236p/244tor. Ive drove it about 50 miles and can say now that I really love the performance. My wife as many of you know has a 1998 S70 GLT with the low pressure turbo 190hp/199tor. We have done numerous modifications to hers which made me become a Volvo lover. I cant wait to start personalizing the new addition to our volvo family. The car is light turquoise with tan leather interior. It has the 16" factory directional twist wheels with 205/55hr/16 fulda tires which leads me to belive it has the bigger brakes up front 11 7/8" instead of the 11" my wifes has. if anyone knows how to tell without measuring let me know. The car does not have a rear wing like my wifes has which I may add. Only other diffrence is mine has the info switch which tells you temp avg mpg/mph and 2 trip odometers. Hers only tells time and temp. The brakes will be the first thing I address. I drove a T5 a month ago that had the bigger brakes (11 7/8" instead of 11") and it stopped alot better than the factory ones my wifes came with. The debate with me is to Replace mine with the Cross Drilled Zimmerman/Mintex Combo my wife has that we have been so happy with or Buy a big brake kit for my front? Kalmar Union has a AP performance kit they sell which looks awesome and really scrubs off speed quick. Price is a big diffrence $500 F/R VS. $2500 F. but I plan keeping this car for a good while so it might be worth the extra money? This car has alot of miles 120,000 but has been recently completly serviced.New spark plugs,wires coil, battery, synthetic oil change & filter in the engine & transmission cleaned fuel injectors, new fuel filter, all new belts, Flush & fill radiator, new K&N air filter and a pollen filter for heater and air conditioning I almost bought a 1998 T5 5speed my true dream machine. I love a manual transmission. It was in San Diego California and im in Indianapolis, Indiana so the drive was a big issue. In all im very pleased about the new addition to our volvo family Ill keep you posted on the new mods I do on this vehicle. God Bless!
