It VERY common that "Idiots" put the "R" on the back of a C70 T5....... Volvo NEVER Made a C70 T5R ....

The Phase 1 C70 came in two guises a C70 GS & a C70 GT ...

As yours has Electric Seats yours will DEFFO be a "GT" model..

Heres the "Wiki" relating to the C70 range >>>>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_C70

As you can see from my sig I have a C70 GT in saffron .. anything else yer not sure about give me a shout & I'll try & help out


Regards

Keith

Minty,

as yours is a 98 model you will not have an "ME7" engine (electronic Throttle Module" ect) you should have a simple throttle Cable & a Dizzy cap ect ..(same as the Elder v70's & 850's) ...

The "Power" difference between a T5 & a T5R is only 10 BHP anyhow ... !!! Yours will have a b5234 T3 Engine & the "R" Engine will be a B5234 T4 Engine (its just a bigger Turbo Really!!!)

I have 17's on mine (BBS Split Rims) & my good Mate Andy (Thanatos) had 16 or 17's (can't remember which) but anyhow he recently changed them for 18's & having driven his C70 with both sets on I find the 18's are FAR BETTER in Ride quality than the 16 or 17's he had on before,

Andy will be on the board later & i'm sure he'll comment further
