"S**t I found on Colorado Craigslist"

[Roland H]

yea i actually think i'm a bit on the low side.

pretty much everything is new... rods, bearings, high comp pistons, block hot tanked and honed, crank ground, hot cams....

and he hasn't bought gaskets, chain guides, chains, or any of the little stuff yet.

i'm definitely way off with $4k now that i think about this.

That's at least an $8k build, if not more. B36 ya?

However, in contrast to an S38, there's nothing cool about a 4 cylinder, water-cooled, non-diesel volkswagen.

And an S38 longblock is cool, but makes a terrible DD by itself.

Concur on the VW not being cool. Actually I am slightly embarrassed to be seen in it, based on the douschebaggery these cars emanate, as showcased in the pics below:




And what gets me is that this car receives praise on stanceworks. Ha!


That said, something like this doesn't look half bad:

[tehwickerman]

Yeah it's a B36.

He wouldn't take my advice and just slot an S38 in but it'll easily be making S38 power.

Mmmm VWs... Adding a taste of rice to the world of kraut.

[downforce22]

i'm pretty sure the E28 M5 (US spec) doesn't make 315 hp.

thats cause its the s38b35... not b36

Wow! I love LSB, I think I would need to see it in person to make a judgement.

Autotragic :-(

It can pull it off with a better choice of wheels.

pretty ridiculously easy to get 300whp out of one though.

do tell.

i'm pretty sure the E28 M5 (US spec) doesn't make 315 hp.

Euro E28 M5 M88/3 = 286hp
US E28 M5/M6 S38B35 = 256hp
us/euro E34 M5 3.6l S38B36 = 315hp
euro E34 M5 3.8l S38B38 = 340hp

Yeah it's a B36.

wat.

[Roland H]

do tell.

cams, headers, war chip, maf conversion

wat.

I don't think he understands that all S38s, are S38s. :giggle:

It isn't receiving praise for the condition it is currently in. The praise is due to the flares the guy that owns it is planning on running. No one in the stance community would praise a car set up like that... Just wanted to clear that up.

I'm not sure how that car can receive any praise at all, flares or no flares. It looks like a skateboard.

I agree. The car looks like ass. I think it would take the flares and tires that are twice as wide to make it look good. I was just saying that I wouldn't be worried about being associated with people who drive cars around looking exactly like that because approximately no one who likes "stanced" cars would like how that car looks as it sits in those pictures.
