craigslist posted:1984 Volvo 244 DL - 800 OBO - $800 I can't believe it's selling this cheap! The 2.3L V5 is priceless! Edit: The V5 was never a popular option because it tended to vibrate a little bit more than the 4 cylinder.

Seriously, one guy thought he had a V-4 with RWD.

nm posted:Yes, it was sold in euromarket B5 Passats (any maybe some other VAG cars) quote:In 1997, VW removed a cylinder from the VR6, creating the VR5, the first block to use an uneven number of cylinders in a V design (other than the Honda V3 triples of MotoGP fame). This version, which had a 2.3 L capacity, was capable of 150 PS (110 kW/148 hp) and had a maximum torque of 210 N·m (154 ft·lbf). It was introduced in the Passat in 1997, and later in the Golf and Bora in 1999. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR6_engine

kimbo305 posted:drag shifting is reversed? You know how in most automatics 1st gear is pointed towards the rear of the car, and then you push forward to upshift? They make kits where you reverse the pattern so you have to pull back to upshift instead. I've seen it 50/50 in drag cars with autos so far - I guess it's a preference of the owner of the vehicle. Zool posted:Good point, except it's a 4 cylinder. Well I'm a dumbass. I'd have sworn the I-5 was a 2.3 liter or something small like that.

Too bad he didn't post pics... Not a bad looking chavmobile. I think he's somewhat confused by the octane measurement discrepancies between Euroland and NA OpelinVancouver posted:almost all original except for tuning, only runs on 94 or higher octane, in Europe it was run on 100 Octane,could run on 92 but will not put out max power, I wonder if he actually managed to get it insured for BC - the usual route is the 15 year exemption to allow pretty much anything to be imported, but this isn't old enough.
