Has anyone considered putting a V6 badge from an Accord V6 on the CL-P/CL-S? Maybe right above the front wheels on the fender flare area...or maybe putting on a 3.2 badge there. you guys think that would be nice or rice? Any Photoshop gurus wanna photoshop it in?

 

Nah! To anybody who knows anything about IC engines 3.2 does mean V6/I6. There are no 4 cylinder engines in production with a displacement that large and are no production V8's with a displacement that small. That only leaves a V6/I6. Just my .02.

 

You took the words right outta my mouth

 

I have a few V6 emblems off my Accord and others if you're interested.

 

Agreed...

However, there have been some bizzare engine configurations in the past. Mazda's 1.8L V6 and Porsche's 3.0L I4 come to mind.

 

Yup, and Ferrari and BMW both have 3.5L V-8s in production now.

 

what the hell happened to my post? I was just asking if a V6 or 3.2 emblem would look good on our car....sheesh. damn thread hijackers

 

I wouldn't do it, I think that it would look dumb.

If you must, the 3.2 would look better than an accord V6 badge

 

I don't see putting V6 on our cars either. I also don't see why
you carry a personal vendetta in your signature. YMMV

 

Hey Twiggy!! You gonna bring your car back up when you go home for Thanksgiving???

 

I'd still have nowhere to park it, so no.

 

Be careful now the Ferrari 355 designation does not mean 3.55 liters in displacement! The 355 designates 355 cubic centimeters per cylinder!!! The BMW engine you refer to I have never heard of. Is it from the 1950's or something?

 

I was wong about the Ferrari, the F360 has a displacement of 3.6L and the F355 has one of 3.5L. Sorry about that. But 3.6L is still pretty small for a V-8

No, BMW offers a 3.5L V-8 in Europe. The current 535i has it and the outgoing 735i had it. The 735 is going to be replaced by the new 735i with a 3.6L V-8

 

I beg to differ my man. The 735i and 535i were always I6's. Europe not withstanding. You'll have to prove to me that BMW ever made a V8 with less than 4.0 liters of displacement.
Once again I'll tell you Ferrari's numbering designation is not about enging displacment a la BMW. The Ferrari designation is about the capacity of a single cylinder. As mentioned above the 355 stands for the capacity of one cylinder. For displacement it would be 355 cubic centiliters x 8 cylinders.

 

IIRC, the '94-'95 530i actually had a 3.0L V8 instead of the more typical 3.0L I6.

 

You are wrong

From Car Magazine, Nov. 2001

 

Again, in an article about the new 7

 

BMW absolutely made a 3litre V8 for the 5 series a few years ago...I girl at my university had one and I drove it frequently...

 

The F355 is 3.5L and the F360 is 3.6L

 

so you're saying the ferrari f355 has a 2.84 liter engine?

(355cc x 8 cylinders = 2840 cc engine)

seems a little small...

 

BASTARDS!!!! STOP HIJACKING MY THREAD!!!!!!!

Bastards. you and your ferrari talk.....shame on you all!!!

 

Well here is my take on the situation no I think its no need.
Don't be like the guy I was behind yesterday that had a 90-93 ACCORD station wagon with a Type R badge on it & a big exhast.
If I was in the mood & we were out on the highway I would have made hisType R badge look sily with my 3.2 TL badge.

 

If you really want to distinguish yourself go buy a Type-S badge from ACP and put it right behind and above the front wheel.

 

I must say that you really should take a set back and look at this situation. The car already has too many detracting badges. The question of wheter to add more is no mute. The only question left is "What can I do to make my car look better?", Once again take another step back look at you car and go get some dental floss and Gu-Gone, You'll be a happy man.

 

i WAS THINKIN' OF PUTTING ON MY "5.0" DECALS OFF MY 93' STANG...

 

Our cars are IMO sleek and classy... no need to have tacky distracting badges on them. If you are just dieing to have something on the side of thyour car, I really would perfer side markers over a 3.2 or V6 badge... Even Solara saw the error of there was and took of the badges off there doors for the 2002 models. However, if you fix up your car i.e. better rims, drop, engine mods, brakes, exhausts, etc... then finding actual words MUGEN or SPORT or somthing similar to AMG, M, TRD ect... putting redundent badges brings our cars down a notch in class. my .02

 

I stand corrected on the European front. However, in an earlier post I said Europe not withstanding. I belive Astroboy was quoting a canadian g/f's BMW. I also believe that CAR magazine is a Brittish magazine, is it not? I still haven't seen proof that BMW ever had a 3.0 litre V8 in the USA.
It also appears that Ferrari does not follow suit from their racing cars. The Ferrari 333SP designation stands for cylinder displacement. However, their road cars appear to reflect total engine displacement. My bad!

 

1994-5 bmw 530i sold in the u.s.a. was a 3.0 liter v8.
