Is that the 2.2KV? They sound great if it is! smile Did you get the car facelifted yourself or was it a previous owner?

IMO only the 5 pot engines sound any good.

You could have washed it first before posting the picture

yes The old KV's sound better than the later 5 cylinder engines in my opinion.

it was a 2.2, i made no changes to it at all - bought it like that.

Lovely motor - was such a shame when i had to get rid.

And as for washing it before i took pictures - i didn't buy it to clean it!!!!!

soundwise the 10v wins for me... driven every variant and currently running around in a 2.8cq, hugely under rated the B3/4 coupes imho. such a solid all rounder. shame the 5 pot does have legendary status but the i4 16v and the 12v are bloody good as well!

selling mine at the minute and sttruggling for a suitable replacement to match it all round for appeal, drive and pleasure of owning... sense i may regret it!

Reminds myself! not to buy a car from you then, as your kind also cant be arsed or its too difficult to maintain them as well.
