I really don't want to sell it, but I don't have enough garages! With winter coming, it needs to find a good home.

Re: I'm going to sell my C70 HPT 5-Speed Vert

oh yeah, miles. 169k. Still has original PCV with a negative pressure at the oil cap. I believe that tells you its been well taken car of. In my three years, all new suspension, heater core, brakes/rotors/emergency shoes, headlight upgrade, and lots of smaller items. Here's a pic I just took this mo...

I'm going to sell my C70 HPT 5-Speed Vert

I'm not sure how much to ask for it. It's been a great car, and I've kept it up well. No rust, everything works perfectly. It has two sets of wheels and tires (others are Dunlop Winter Sports...two brand new). I have too many vehicles, and this is the chosen casualty...I'm thinking $4k...being an HP...

Key Fob Purchase....Nice Surprise on Quality

My old fob had more JB weld on it than plastic. I ordered this one as a replacement shell: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171260999392?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ...thinking it wouldn't be great, but get me by. I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a DENSO brand from ...

Re: Aftermarket Ebay Headlight Or Retrofit ?

I went with ABM projectors for my C70. I love them....best $350 I've spent on the car, and a huge improvement in night driving.

Re: 2002 C70 Convertible help!

Definitely glass with defrost originally. As far as clearing the plastic up, I would block sand it with 1500 grit, then 2000 grit. Polish with an orbital polisher, using good plastic polish.
As far as reattaching, I don't know. Aren't the plastic ones sewn in?

Re: 1998 S70 T5 -- 280mm 288mm same thing?

They are NOT the same thing. Your calipers will not fit, at least properly, if you get the wrong ones.

Re: 98 v70 with thump sound from front right side (suspensio

I can speak first hand how cheaping out on spring seats can cause you to have to do the job again. I just put new Sachs XC90 seats on my C70 after going cheap about 14 mos ago. I think I "saved" all of about $12 on the first pair (not my brightest move). I'm glad I don't have to pay myself...

Re: 02' C70 Headlight Pattern is Odd

I think they both looked the same but that is also what I was thinking. Maybe since the old glass was cracked, too much moisture got in there and ruined the reflective finish, to some extent. May be time to take it apart again. I know the reflective finish is fragile, but is there a good way to clea...
