Hey guys! It looks like this is a great forum with a lot of helpful people as well as information. I am a big car guy but this 98 318Ti is my first BMW. I have owned the car a week and love most everything about it.
I live in Indianapolis, 22 years old... Looking forward to being an active member here.
A few cars I have built owned in the past:
1994 Mustang GT - 331 Stroker, AFR heads, Vortech YS trim, Tremec 3550, Griggs GR40 suspension. 12.06 @118 1/4 mile
1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible- LS6/T56 swap 551hp/606tq 11.08 @131 1/4 mile
I just parted out the rx7 to buy a house so the 318ti will be my daily driver for now. In a few months I plan to start gathering parts and eventually do an lsx/t56 swap in the 318Ti. I know there is one on here and another guy that just did an LS2. Seems like a great swap because I love the car and the looks but hate the power
I know there are some other options power wise but the lsx is the cheapest and most affective way to make 600hp and be reliable.
Looking forward to being a part of the forum.
