PU bushings

I was told a 780 is almost mechanically the same as a 740. Does this mean you can replace your bushings by PU which are meant for a 740?

Intake manifold 9471577 to 6842423

Because of a crack in my intake manifold I am looking for another one.
Can somebody tell me if a 850 turbo manifold (6482423) fits a S70R (9471577)
On the pictures it's very hard / impossible to see the differences.

S70 AWD exhaust under S70R

Is it possible to mount a AWD dual exhaust system under a S70R?
The S70R has a single pipe.
If I can find a new rearbumper with 2 holes (or modify the existing) is there enough space under the car to mount the dual exhaustpipes of the AWD?
Another question is if the rearbumper of a AWD fits?

Anyone?

Re: 2000 S70 - Headlight update/upgrade?

Did you try brighter bulbs?
I exchanged my headlightbulbs to Philips diamondvision and I am satisfied with that.
Idea for you?

Re: 1997 S70R shockabsorbers

Ok to be more exact: It's a nautic blue pearl 1997 S70R 252K km (156K mile) 250 HP (but I guess some have retired :)) It has some issues with the paint but overall it (or he, maybe a she) is in a good condition) When I bought it the Volvo dealer did a thorough checkup and gave some TLC which it desp...

Re: 1997 S70R shockabsorbers

How do you mean?

It's registration says 25-09-1997; model: S70; R
You can see it as a MY 1998 car but it's registered in 1997

1997 S70R shockabsorbers

Maybe I am looking at the wrong sites but is it true you can't fit Koni FSD shockabsorbers under a S70R. As far as I can see you can only fit them under a classic, V or C version. Is this right?

swap 4 speed automatic to 5 speed automatic

Is it possible to swap the 4-speed auto gearbox of a 850 T5R with the 5-speed auto gearbox of a C/S/V70R. The idea is to chiptune the 850 T5R to 300+ HP and to me a 5-speed seems to be better to handle the power and torque. What I found on the internet is that the engines are the same, but the quest...
