I lost $555 a few years ago because i trusted a guy to post something, he dragged it out for 3 months with a series of sob stories which i believed and in the end i lost my money as i'd gone over the time limit for claims

the golf by a long way, it is competent at speed in a way that i just wouldnt trust a 480

Re: Volvo 480's in Motorsport?

i compete in Rally myself with a Mk1 Golf GTI
I wouldnt dream of competing a 480 but just wondering out of interest if it's been done?
Even when they were brand new?

Volvo 480's in Motorsport?

Been Googleing and searching but can find very little info or pics
Surely somebody must have competed in a 480 at some point?
Did anybody ever Rally one?

What other cars does 2.0L engine come in?

As above...
What other cars does 2.0L engine come in?
Engine is good in car currently, but a bit smokey
On the look out for another engine, just in case...
Did the same engine come in any Renaults of the era, Laguna, Megane? etc..?
