MMMMM purty wheels on it. What engine is in it, 2.5 inline 6? Are you getting rid of your ti??

[myblueTI]

ya its a 323is but it has the inline 6 2.5 so its pretty quick. I dont know i am looking to get an e36 coupe but i still kinda a want a ti. Its just that i want(not need) more power in my ti. I think it would be more worth it to buy a new bimmer than put that much into the Ti what do you think?

[myblueTI]

You should make up some bogus stuff about the accident like Ya rigth after you got rear ended umm my downing atlanta supercharger fell off so im going to need that replaced as well oh ya and those 18 inch hre rims those were stolen when my car was towed to the shop so ya im going to need those replaced too

But I was replacing the clutch, getting a camber kit, and replacing my cat this last week anywho. Once I get her back it will be like a brand new TI. Midway can really blow sometimes. I would suggest HarMar mall parking lot. It's close to the area, but away from the homo cops and fart canned civics. Keep in touch about it and hopefully the cars fixed quickly

lmao, i just realized I think we are the only two posting on this thread!!!!Honestly, I think I would rather have the TI with a swap. Theres something about having the unique body with the engine. Best of both worlds!!! I would think if you take your time and shop around, you could end up finding a good deal on the parts. And I know an awesome mechanic out in Maple Lake that does like a flat rate of $50 an hour. He does all the work on my car and I can completely trust him. I'm thinking of doing a swap once I pay off this car and buy a new one. I want to strip the ti I have now and run an s50/s52 motor, but right now it's just a wet dream

LMFAO!!! Somehow i don't think State Farm would fall for a supercharger falling off, but I guess trying doesn't hurt. BTW is that 323 stock cept for the wheels?? and how much are they asking on it?? (I promise I won't try to buy it)

[myblueTI]

i dont know if i want to pay the money for the swap though i hear it is just as powerfull with the dasc so i think i might look into that i alittle more but i am still looking at a swap so. But i hear there is a turbo out there for it and it really hauls balls so i might have to check into that. I just want the cheapest way to keep up with a stock m3. Plus my Ti is an auto so i i want to swap the tranny but a couple of mechanics that i have talked to say that a s/c is better with an auto and a turbo is better with the manual so i have lots to consider but it is still what you call a "wet dream"

[myblueTI]

the 323 has 18" wheels, lowered it 2 inches, exhaust, k&n intake filter, sub and amp, dynomatted trunk for the subs, tinted windows, sirus radio, harmon Kardon sound system, aftermarket alram system and its going for about 13 thousand. I think its a pretty good deal but allot of people are telling me for 13 you can get a m3 but the insurance would rape me because im under 18 so thats not an option. thats why i want to be able to keep up with a m3 but i dont know i really like the look of the e36 coupe allot. Allot to be done too since it has the 2.5 in it too

[nick_hegel]

Yup insurance sucks!!! Thats part of the reason I have my ti. I don't think 13k is horrible for it. Car already has good additions to it and still has plenty of potential!!

[myblueTI]

ya im just going to keep the ti because i think i can do some stuff to it now and wait and just get an m3 when i am older and have the money but i think i am going to try to do some autocrosses this summer. so i am going to do suspension and tires and hopefully my exhaust whenever the hell it comes in

Good choice on keeping it! Not very many around so you may as well keep it since you got one already. Anyway there are always going to be plenty of modified 3 series coupes for sale. BTW are you going to the Volksport show on Sunday June 12th??

[myblueTI]

where is this show and what kind of cars are there? Is it just like a meet or is it a show? Are you going to be there?

[nick_hegel]

Oh I will for sure be there. I've been planning on it for a few months. I believe it is an actual show! All I really know about it is that it's being held at Westside Volkswagen in St. Louis Park/Western Mpls. Technically it's only a VW show, but my brother talked to a few guys and heard that a bunch of bimmer guys are showing up too. Bring your car if you can make it and I'll keep an eye out for a ti. I'd rather look at a ti anyways!!! lmao

[myblueTI]

I dont think i will be able to make the show i work at 2 on sunday so since your going you should take some pictures and post the good ones for me There should be at least one TI i think but if there isnt oh well i am not going to worry.

[nick_hegel]

Definitely taking some pics for ya!!!

[CirrusSR22]

Anyone in MN have any left-over 16" OEM Sport Wheels (Style 18 )? I need to replace a bent one. Bad paint is OK, but they must be absolutely true and straight. I don't need the tire.

These ones:


Thanks
