I really like the fiesta ST, but I'll take an E46 M3 over one every single time. Apples to oranges comparo... hopped up tiny econobox vs a purpose built road/track car that looks great doing either.

20vs are worth the tick, mine ticks once it gets hot. Rebuilding the cam followers (degunking them) is kinda easy and free except some acetone or other solvent, and time. The 10v is a great engine, but 20v is amazing. My old car now belongs to my friend and is getting a built head, holset vgt turbo and a bunch of…

Yeah, there is a tdi avant on eBay.de right now, lol. I have a 200 20v avant, it is my second T44 wagon, had an '89 10vT too. I'll keep the 20v forever. Just an all round terrific car, 23 years old or not.

I think I recall reading that somewhere too. Does that mean every b4 avant is also banned?

Yes... I would even take a regular old B3/B4 avant... then swap it... maybe with some of that turbo 07K love from Iroz Motorsports...

so you are saying that a spark from a jumper cable being connected to a battery is more likely to ignite gasses than a spark from a battery being directly connected to another battery?

This number is a lot closer to the price that Fiat wanted to pay than the amount of money than the amount the UAW Health Trust that owned the other 41.5% wanted.

I don't see a $100-800 phone keeping someone from buying a $30,000-130,000 vehicle. Either way there will always be those assholes in new cars that have multiple inputs/Bluetooth that still for some reason drive around with headphones on.

Meh, convertibles are floppy, even the e46. I'd never bother with the roofless m3 because of that, and the fact that 3850lbs is more than my 540i and 260 ft/lbs just isn't enough for that much heft. We picked up a low mile 330Cic auto despite driving and being able to afford the M variant. It is the perfect summer car.

As long as the upside down one is a sealed battery, I don't really see an issue here.

From a driver of fairly well matched pair of bmw and audi (2003 540i 6speed with suspension upgrades and a 1991 200 20v with bilsteins and more boost) , I really enjoy the sure footedness of quattro in many if not most performance driving situations. Having the traction control kick in or the ass end come around at…

Fuck Ditches... Get Bunnies.

lol, you said 16 inch dump.

Any torsen based Audi Quattro with a locking rear diff. Snip the blue and white speed sensor wire and the 15mph rear lock cut out is disabled, this makes turning at speed scary to say the least but it will get you through anything. The even earlier systems with a center and rear locker, no torsen are very good too but…

Sounds about right to meet seen it many many times working around boats much of my life. You'd think an MIT student would know what a tide chart is and plan accordingly...

Sweet Shell commercial, bro.

What can you possibly do to drum brakes that makes it so the car cannot be put back together and requires being towed?

If the company makes half a million of the car... they have saved a total of $10 million... yeah, chump change...

This one law that may never have any effect on you is what has you questioning that decision? Not the fact that it is Ohio?

My audi wagon has so many compartments I could probably put a different drug in each one. But I guess this isn't the only reason I'm happy I don't live in Ohio.
