    1981 Volvo 245DL wagon Canadian version.

    2.1 B21A 4cyl with the pathetic single SU carb setup. It was the manual choke setup as well. It also had the old points and condensor setup in the ignition.

    Considering the US market had FI on all Volvo's since the early 70's, there's no reason why the canadian market got the stripped down euro carb'ed version that produced the least hp and tq, yet required premium fuel in the late 70's ?!?!? like WTF is that all about? if your going to make an econo model, why would you design it to run best on prem fuel?!?!

    The floorboards rusted thru, and the car would hiccup terribly in traffic when it was cold, regardless of how much fuel you gave it (I'd r3v the $hit outta it, but it didn't help).

    To this day I refuse to own another Volvo product.

        1984 Mazda Rx-7. Currently on its third owner (I was the 2nd). I may actually have an opportunity in the next 6 months to buy her back, which I'm planning on doing.

          Mine was an 86 325e :)

          I added the wheels, primer, and lip. I seriously miss it.

                my first car was an 87 325is...i sadly don't have any pics of it cause i only had it for a month before i wrecked it.

                this picture is the only one I have, and it shows only the back, after i had moved everything over to my current car (89 325is)

                  Mom matched my 1500 eventually making 3500, and off I was in a 87 325is, well she drove the shit out of it intill I got my license.
                  mods eventually being Racing dynamic springs, H4's, Intake...thats about it.
                  Where thinking it had a 4.10 because it Kicked so much ass!

                    Word, that's a nice car. My brother's first car was a HZ GTS, four door. Warm 308 but I can't remember if it was a manual or auto. Was quite a beast though.



                    My first car was a MK2 Escort 2door. It had a 2litre pinto but being a 16 year old noob I r3ved the engine, threw a rod and put a hole the size of my fist in the block. Replaced with a 1.6 pushrod Kent as it was all I could afford, just wasn't the same so I moved it on and bought an AE86. I regret selling it and if I ever find a 2door with a clean body for a reasonable price I will surely consider buying it.

                    I'll edit this post if I can find pics.

                          Mine was an 88 Nissan Sentra

                          Wished it looked like this



                          Looked more like this



                          Not a lot of rust on the body but the rear shocks were ready to blow through the rear deck. I loved that car. My brother drove it a week without coolant. He worked a mile away. After my dad took it away from him due to neglect, I got it.

                              Red 1986 Nissan 300zx N/A. Picked it up at age 16 for $500. I can't find a shitty enough pic to portray this car so here's a nice one.



                              Take that, imagine no clear coat, black door/bumper molding, and a huge bondo patch on the front of the passenger door and you got it! :up:
