rally future

Don't worry DexterVW, you will get used to JVL. I promise you he will grow on you, just like you will grow on him.

I like and know VWs. I've flogged many of them. However, get rid of them and go buy an E36 325i. You'll never look back.

Search on these terms "gerade verzahnt" and then "020" or "02J" etc. Gerade Verzahnt means "straight cut" as in straight cut gears.

More like "straight tooth-ed" (cf zahn ie zahnrad--tooth(ed)wheel in the name ZahnradFrabrik which any Bowel-Movement-Wonder fan knows as ZF (which was originally, Count von Zeppelin's little passtime)

Same site has expensive VW parts too, even more expensive for a vw fender than a volvo.
http://www.everdrive.com/partdetails.aspx?sku=457005
What conclusions can we draw from these facts?
Shop somewhere else.

car-part.com has used volvo fenders from $25.

rally gods would turn in their graves if they ever knew Lada's were now part of EU rallying!!!

I stand corrected by JVL. Zaehne are teeth in German, so "straight toothed."

JVL: Leck mir am Arsch bitte!

Es gehort viel mehr Gessofen.

So doesn't that pretty much make Frank's argument to run an Audi or a VW?

I've looked at Frank's photos, and if he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants with a build - so if he is wanting to run a RWD or AWD VW - Pretty sure he can... Dude has some SERIOUS fabrication skills.

I also wanted to comment on the whole Volvo as a rally car. There's another reason that doesn't seem to get mentioned when referring to the popularity in Scandinavian countries. They're like the Cavalier of Finland. They're very poular - plain and simple. You run what you can. French guys run Peugeots, Germans run BMW's, Swedes run Volvos... They all make great rally cars - but it's likely more important to find a car that YOU feel comfy building...

I love 240 Volvos - but they're not anywhere near the drivers car stock out of the box as a 505 Turbo, so they'll always be down on the list if I ever wanted to build one. Merkur's are great cars as well - but those are more rare than Peugeots up here!

BTW - In advance - if I gave a shit about what people thought about what I drive, then I certainly wouldn't be building a Peugeot!

Great debate though - very entertaining.

All you Canadians are frenchy fags anyway. Of course you would be building a Peugeot.

LOL - Is that the best you had? Coming from the deep south that's like bringing a stick to a gun fight.

I'm surprised that you were even able to even come up with a snappy comeback, you know, with the dick in your mouth and all.

This among the many other gems that this pup has come up with has me holding my sides!!

Yet another engineer who is expert in all things.... In particular those which he clearly has no clue!

I'm laughing my ass off.

My rear-drive Volvo is hillarious as well as effective at winning events. We are sideways through all the turns and faster then all them restricted 4X4 things down any and all the straights. No soda straw holding up the fun in Gp-5.

If memory serves John did mention that turbos and 2.3 liters make a lot of fun....
I'll counter with.... My car's three liter V-6 (the Frenchie thing that Volvo-types tend to hate) Avec a nice T-4 turbo and programmable injection takes that laughs ratio much further in the right direction. Careful though.... Them pansy Dana 30 rears don't have big enough anything to live.

My car is somewhat.... Enhanced from standard.

To the OP..... Go rear-drive; be it a Volvo, X-Ratty, Corolla (getting pretty old nowadays) or BMW and laugh yourself silly.

My buddy Derek went real good in his Golf thing once it actually got all the right junk in it so that it would not break every time out. Then he wadded it up and moved on. Derek $pent GOOD MONEY buying the stuff needed to make that flimsy shit live. Drive axles that would not break every few stages were an interesting thing.... If memory serves they involved 911 turbo outer C/V joints. Ugh.

Don't reinforce VW control arms? Bwahahahahaha!!

Sorry to pollute the post with a response - But...

Wilson - very good. Your brother-uncle-daddy taught you very well in the ways of homophobia. Well done grasshopper. BTW - Usually those that have such strong homophobic tendencies are just repressing - so you might want to work that one out. Can we move on now?

Back to the topic:

As for the OP - I'm curious to see what he ends up building as it should be a pretty damn sweet ride. There's definitely some decent platforms to start with - so it'll be interesting to see what he goes outside of VW/Audi.
