Alas, neither of them will be mine. I work for Volvo as a sales exec, so i get one as a company car. Both crackin motors though.

However, i have just talked my boss into giving me a car! Woo!

So, i'm now the proud owner of a spanking little Volvo 240 GL Estate, on an F Plate, which by my reckoning makes it a 1986 model.

And i'm going to strip it out completely, weld the diff up, chop the suspension, and drift it! Wahey!

Get B234FT in and it is going to be big drifts, of course that engine needs bit more boost
With stock B200K it is not going to be very good drifter, at least cam is needed to be changed (stock cam is for torque, above 4000rpm it is useless) and carb need to go, twin carbs or fuel injection.

Put those caravan(strenghtened) springs to rear or Lesjöfors lowering springs, maybe helps bit with understeering, stiffer ARB to rear is not bad idea also.

My miata...built in April 1989, the 397th miata made. I'm it's third owner and I bought it in 2001 with 95,000km on it. It's been my daily driver since I got it and I have been autocrossing it this year, winning the Novice Championship in my region. It now has 205,000km on it, and has just had it's second timing belt change.

Look how far it is leaned over in the autox pic Yay for stock springs and arb's and r-comp tyres.

I love that in car shot, really nice!

So it's true. BMWs are a lot like porcupines. Except the prick is on the inside.

I'm just kidding. Not bad indeed.

LMAO.

I have to hand it to you...That is a great come back

Atleast I'm not 14 trying to pretend I'm 18 and drunk on a certain Banger Server

Yea, that's funny right there.

The following was posted in another forum I'm subscribed too. The red text is from the search, can't seem to get rid of it... This is typical of the rich snobby arrogance of the BMW drivers over here. BMW motorcycle riders are even more snobby and arrogant. Funny fictional story, none the less...

The BMW Drivers Tale...

"The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars.

First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway!
(The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.)

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane. (Why do underlings use this lane? Surely everyone knows it is for BMW drivers only?)

Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving so slowly - at a ridiculous 70 mph!

Naturally, I got to within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way.

Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me! He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.

Needless to say, I was eager oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my driver's licence to a Police Station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3.) But the man at the Police Station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

See, now THAT's the sort of respect you get when you buy and drive a BMW!"

"im doing crap, doesnt help that im half drunk".

Well, when you look about 12, i hardly think thats possible :P

Hey, I made it onto your signature. I'm honoured.

It was a great come back..not true in this case, but very funny!!

Get S2. We need people like you in the community!

Oh, I plan to. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Quote from JTbo :

Here is my car, nothing special.
I have visited few times on track, last summer with new cam and Megasquirt installed which was quite improvement.
Biggest annoyances are that seat has not proper support, steering is around 4 turns lock to lock and my head is against roof when I put racing helmet on.

It has now 130hp, was 100hp when stock, weight distribution is close to 50/50, weight is around 1090kg, of course rwd, not so bad on track, but those few annoyances are killing part from fun, also 50hp more would not hurt.

Megasquirt installation I have done completely from scratch by myself, actually after company that did install cam managed to make oil leaks, I decided to all work by myself, learning a lot

Linky has broken so here is new linky

Well, my cars are in the galleries here:



My 'light' project is THIS ONE, I'm currently switching it over to 5-bolt hubs, lowering it and am halfway through reconing a head for it. If all goes well next year it'll be running 15psi of boost rather than the stock 7psi.

The 'big' project is just a shell now, so not much point posting it up; they're a good cheap alternative to the V8s I used to have, especially with today's petrol prices!
