c70 tuning-poss awd?

jonnyb2b · Jan 20th, 2007, 19:23

i own a 2000 c70 lpt and was thinking, would it be poss to take the running gear from a v70 awd to make my c70 awd?? Any opinions would be great!

What would be the gain, even if it were possible?

4wd traction and no more torque steer if you want 4 wheel drive buy one that was designed for it as making yours a 4wd would cost more and take longer to complete than just buying a awd in the first place

Torque steer in a low pressure turbo C70????

Behave.

They didn't make AWD C70s, did they? In which case, if you want one...gotta build it! Sounds like an interesting project, and I'm sure it's possible.

cheers

Money would be better spent remapping the cars software to gain more power

Arguably the improvement in tractability would outweigh the improvement in acceleration, depending on the type of roads the car is used on. I know I'm a power obsessive, but improving handling usually makes a car 'faster' as an all-rounder than adding power.
