For what it's worth and all my CO2 free ways, I used to own one of these, so consider my bus-ridership and bicycling a way of making up for past errors.

What happened to it? I think I remember you saying it needed some work?

I sold it, for a few reasons. Actually, it was in top shape when I sold it. New tires, recent tune up, nothing requiring an immediate address. I broke the radiator overflow piping and hadn't fixed it yet, but other than that, she was good to go. I couldn't afford the gas, and I needed the money to save for school. The things one does in the pursuit of their passions.

It's almost been a year, and I still miss that damn car.

A problem only if you want it to be one.   first of all torque steer is from poor traction and or the Drive line lengths on each side coming out of the transmission are not the same weight and length. 

There is ways to help with it and well first of all just put a limited slip diff and that will make a huge difference.  Most imports have made adjustments to the cv shafts to help with this.. one side could be a solid shaft and the other a hollow tube,  balancers could of been added.

Lots of ways to help with it.    To completely avoid it ,  You put in a Locking differential.

his name is Xandir, he is gay, he took a tree up the butt and liked it (aka, I backed it into a tree while trying to avoid hitting the A**hole neighbors' brand new Lambourghini (that they traded in the next day for a POS Lexus ???)

Oh no worries there, im fully planning on preventing it, the engine im getting (B18) is the GSR model, it comes factory with an LSD in it, as for the axles i intend to try to weight mach em, even if i need to put some weights on em. as for  a locking diff? no way XD i would tear the front end off the car with it being my daily driver ha ha

I love those cars. A friend of mine had one, and we spent many a day being douchebags driving around smoking BlackStone cherries and doing mini-burnouts. Poor car, good times.

Just thought I'd let everyone know: I HAVE A CAR ONCE MORE! Fuck yeah. Pictures to come soon. She's a 1989 Volvo 240 four-door in blue. 2.3L four cylinder, five speed (first car I've ever owned with a stick, though certainly not the first I've driven). The Brick is back. :)

Yeah, I loved that car. Had to sell it to pay off a loan though. T___T I hate taking the bus. One day I will have a car... and a license (I had my N, but it expired like, 3 years ago) again. I miss driving.

I know that car! i think O.=.o power everything? including the headlight wipers? and the blue is a very slight color? from a distance can pass for a shade of grey?
