Re: 1992 Volvo 480 Turbo Manual S/R For Sale

Thanks jamesy12345 and jamescarruthers good to hear, it's hard to price these cars as it's all down to what someone is willing to pay at that moment (hope that makes sense). Really want it to go to someone who will appreciate it. Jamesy, The Black Shark is a great name. I need to come up with one fo...

Re: 1992 Volvo 480 Turbo Manual S/R For Sale

So I've obviously over estimated the going rate.

Id rather the car went to a forum member and not just put it on eBay where someone with a penchant for body kits and loud exhursts get hold of it. So £1500? Bargin. I'll have to list it on eBay tomorrow if no one is interested ;(

I only make the comparison as thats the car in class I'm looking at. I would be heartbroken if I ended up racing a BMW or Astra, there just not me. Well after much thought and research I think I'm going to race a 480 2lt. I think that the worries about the gearbox on a turbo running at 250+bhp coupl...

You can rebuild the B20F to Formula Renault specs, which means 175hp. I t would involve headwork, cam, custom chip and a exhaust. Is there a list anywhere of what they did? and available parts. I'm not worried about handwork and can do a lot of it myself. Driver, handling and "laufkultur" of the en...

Can't use parts from other cars only cars within the production series, i.e other 480 Turbos, but I might be able to get an exception to any 480 gearbox :(

I can strengthen by adding material and change gear ratios but that's it.

Option 1: Run a majorly modified 2lt 480. I would need to get 190bhp out of it. Option 2: This is the one ...
