lol no probs man. yeah just bought my TI yesterday and im starting the project. its my first BMW actually since the family are all Honda craze. but frankly speaking, i have a 2008 civic coupe with 1.8 liter engine. but theres something different with the 318ti. most noticeably the ride. i wonder why? the 12 year old car with 120 plus rides better than the 2008 with 4900 miles on it lol i have been bimmerized lol | | | | | 10-21-2008, 03:20 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

Hey man, if you go to bimmerforums.com, they'll tell you that you have a rear wheel drive civic! This is off topic, so I apologize, the only reason I looked at this thread is because of your name, but my first car was an '84 CRX, and I loved it...1.5 liter, 3 barrel carb, but a high redline, it was fun! Then I was reading my dad's Roundel magazine, and I saw the '95 318ti, and I thought, "thats the BMW version of the CRX, I will have one, one day!" And here I am, there is nothing better man, this is my 7th vehicle, and I love it the most...both the CRX I had and the '91 civic I had lasted to just over 200k miles, but I just hit 309k this past weekend, and I finally had to replace my clutch!!! Everything was all original up to 308k...engine, trans, clutch...and fun to drive to boot! Back to the topic- these are hot wheels, I love BBS mesh wheels, I just wish they were not gold... http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24095 __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 Turbos are great!...Especially the higher mileage m42's & m44's...A BUDGET setup should be good for atleast 400rwhp...I was running 60psi on stock internals and homemade parts... |  | | | | | 10-21-2008, 03:57 AM | #9 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

Off topic: cooljess76 where did you get your headlights? they are awesome!
BobbyDigital- wow 300000 on a TI? are you serious? all stock? why do i see alot of TIs for sale that needs or have been rebuilt engines at less than 200k? whats your secret hehehe? my family all has Hondas and they go 300k easy without any valve job or rebuilt. but havent really seen a bimmer do the same. i have looked at other cars for sale in my search for my TI in the past 3 weeks. sad to say half of them already had valve jobs, one needs a valve job at only 167k, two have already had engine rebuilt and the other one over heating and could not be solved. all these were below 200k. but i thought hey what the hell... if my engine breaks then that gives me an excuse to put in an M3 engine lol
