that looks like a proper engine

Yah but unfortunately, it's still wrapped by a Taurus body

and mounted sideways :lawl:

That V8 engine is actually not a very good one, the V6 before it was far superior.

Never understood what the big deal is with those Taurus. Who gives a shit if it has V8 when it looks so ugly? Would you really roll in that? Be happy with some sleeper status? Dafuq? All I can think of when I sit in that car with such an ugly interior is how I would want to slit my fucking wrist.

It's like a woman who's intelligent but ugly. Would you date Janet Yellen?

Triggered.

I have to agree, it looks like an octopus

Lol. I would never rock one (However the previous generation taurus' I totally wouldn't mind) but I love that these cars still exist. It's awesome to see weird 90's perforance cars like that supercharged buick a few members have on here and cars like Mazda Millenia S's around in immaculate shape.

^ I think me and GS8 are the only two on here with supercharged Buicks.

Toyota v12 motor anyone?

Decent. Any insight into these B series'?

ugh... surrey, rebuilt, automatic, riced out, $7.9k.

96 Integra SE 157kms timing belt done $3200

96 acura integra Victoria City, Victoria

POS. never touch it.

Why do you say that?

my friend leased one of these generation b series

maintenance wise,
new brakes/ rotors replaced by 18k
transmission replaced by 20k

They drive like shiet for one...

looks, drives, feel like a cheap econobox

high maintenance, expensive parts, complicated design, and falls apart like a modern expensive german car

rather take my chances with a C or a E. at least it will look and drive more like a real mercedes when it isn't constantly breaking down.

very common transmission issue with those b-series

Find a manual one, non turbo. They hold up better. Interior trim paint wears out easily, but otherwise the interiors are pretty solid.

My mom drives one and sure enough, she had to get transmission replaced as well. Didn't know if it was just hers but then it appears this is common. Damn MB ... should have replaced for free, car was just out of warranty and it costed $4K.

MB wouldn't replace this R63's engine for a known design issue with the headbolts either... madman is rebuilding it on his own.
