Sold My XR
Re: Sold My XR
Swap a 2.3 turbo into the VW.
On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Re: Sold My XR
In my 200,00 miles in the different XR4Tis, the engine has never failed me.
Ok, once when the water pump failed. And if you count a timing belt with less than 20,000 miles on it, that would make two times for the 2.3.
More for other things like brake cylinders, alternators,ECUs.....but the engine itself is solid.

I've had a V-dub...one, and won't have another. I've had 3 XR4s, though. But good luck with yours!

Sets it apart... looks good. I like the nose, it looks E30-ish.

Re: Sold My XR
I'm all about the vw's, have had 4 (3 mk2, 1 mk3) in the past few years. Of everything I've owned, I've been most attached to them.
I don't understand the cabrio thing though, but I'm against most convertibles so my opinion isn't valid. Is it an 8v or 16? And CIS (mechanical) or digifant (electronic) fuel injection?

1985 XR4Ti, Mineral Blue, not much to brag about.
