well, i have had my 8 for 2 years. i havent started modding it until october of 05. i was fully satisfied with the 8 until i got a good paying job. but if i wanted to mad mod a car, i'll just mod a FD or FC. I'm getting ready to purchase a T2 or R1/R2 s

I don't really feel like dealing with a rotary any longer. I can get twice the gas mileage, and still be faster than a FD.

haha, gawd we're scaring away newcomers with this talk hahahaha.

i understand why mike here doesnt want to deal with it anymore, i resepect that mike, rotaries are very tempermental and unpredictable. the bmw is a really good choice, i think any piston engine is a good choice but something about the rotaries pinch me in the right way (wow that sounds wierd). me and my gf agreed that i get all the rotary sports cars while she gets the family cars. hahahaha
|
ok do it Mike.
I'm down too. i think i'll sell off three of my used cars to get this one. Anyone got any real HP specs on this baby? I'm so out of it, i never even knew. I really need to get out more. I think RX8, Miata, a couple FC's, and the SC300 5SPD might have to go. Maybe i'll have some money leftover to try and get it tuned and exhaust work. My GAWD, that's dope. Car and driver states 5.3 sec 0-60. I'm sure dealerships are asking WAY OVER sticker. have you guys looked? I got a near 500whp super nice clean ass FC. Anyone want it. It's brand new, seriously. I got a couple others too, all in super great condition. All White, except the GTUs which i'll never sell. NA Rotary reliability, oh and fuel economy in this one. lolz. |
Oh and this would be for the wife. i'll just drive the E34 5 series. That way we can be germanized as a family.

Shiet, I'll still have a rotary. Just got married and need to consolidate my auto collection. l must say that I get more compliments and looks in my RX8 than any other vehicle i've had. And I've had quite a few. I just love how absolutely gorgeous my car turned out. I'd prob have to lease that Bimmer tho. lolz.
what's the HP and torque rating? Where is Shiv now anyway? Thanks, Rishie |
Shiv has been able to get about 30whp and 30 more lbs of torque across the entire power band just on initial tuning. He did this by richening up the afr, as it is running about 18:1 stock. He was also able to get 70whp on the top end. And this is all with the stock parts. Can't wait until someone develops some bolt ons. You will see plenty of M3s in your rear view with this car.

QUOTE] If you're talking about the 335i, I tested one this week out in Modesto and the dealer was asking straight-up sticker price ($46K, including premium and sport packages). They got 4 in this week and already sold one. Nice car for sure but it's very buttoned-down compared to the outgoing M3. I added a mini-review of my test experience yesterday over on the General Auto board, to the thread "BMW 335i" |

You can buy the swaybars once I get it removed. Pretty soon I will selling my zeal function x coilovers too. I will post a thread once these items are off the car. |
