    No! Nope! Never!
    If there's anything I hate more than the term jap scrap, it's people that put American engines in Japanese cars. :p

    I'll take my turbo our banger any day, thank you very much!
    Or an RB... Or a 13b...

    And RB's are grand, a nice 25 might slip right in... With a few major mods. :pac:

    P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected.

    Love it.


    On a completely unrelated note, I've been looking at early 00's 911s this morning. Seriously tempting.

    Get a 964 or a 993!

    Build your own :)

    Gerry two 13b's seperate the 4 rotors and get a custom crank built up :)
    Slap the two ends on and your getting there :)

    Have you never seen mike whidett's car?

    It'd probably be a 996 tbh. It'd have to be a daily driver, so I'd want it to be relatively modern. Plus, I reckon anything earlier than a 996 would end up arseways up the side of a tree.

    Gt3 rs for the win :)
    You must now attend the next meet If this goes ahead!

    Not the biggest Porsche fan but I would like a 993. Still fetching big bucks though.

    Word usually, the pdfs are not just text though, so using free converter programs doesn't work as it doesn't retain the formatting

    I went to see this S60R earlier.
    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Volvo/S60/R-/36313842613447230/advert?channel=CARS

    Quiet clean, a few little marks on the passenger rear wing. The inside is clean also. Sat nav not reading disc properly. The steering wheel controls for the radio weren't working.
    Not sure if the AWD was working properly, there was a little bit of wheel spin when I took off??

    Im still not sure to go for it or not. Different drive than the 330, steering isnt as good, it felt a bit light or not as tight. Not as much noise off it either. But it is quick and such a sleeper, a silver Volvo.
    Oh decisions, decisions...

    It's actually not as bad. Different alright, but it wouldn't be the reason to put me off it.

    Did you try the different set up buttons? ie comfort, sport, race etc?


    Yea. Race does make it a bumpy ride and makes it tighter but I thought it would be different.

    Last stamp in this history is 2007 in the UK??

    Any evidence that it's been looked after properly since?

    There are a few more on the next page, last one was 2010 though. So still a bit unknown.

    Not bad but it would make me hesitant to go from a well cared for 330i to an R as they are such an unknown car here.

    Just FYI anyone thats around galway at any stage, this exit off kirwan roundabout is bumpy enough to kick the arse out, particularly if its wet. Be a right surprise if you weren't expecting it...
