Some of you may have caught wind from a previous post in which I was trying to decide whether or not to keep my 914s or sell one or both to fund the purchase of another car. Well I ended up trading in blue as a down-payment for the purchase of car for my friend, and then got my friend's '96 BMW 318ti. Mods include a Dinan stage 1 exhaust, chip and suspension upgrade. They're supposed to be the #1 U.S. BMW tuners. Otherwise it's stock and extremely clean. It has some miles, but it's been impeccably taken care of and has all of the service history. With the mods, it's about 150 hp (not a rocket ship, but that's what the motorcycle is for) and it weighs in at 2,600 lbs. Not bad for a mid-90s front-engine, rear-wheel drive hatch back.
Pretty stoked. It's by far the newest car I've ever owned. I think I had a 90's pickup for a few months (I've owned a lot of cars...). Heat, air, leather, sticky tires, lots of cool options. Makes a boy feel spoiled! http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelrandy/se...ith/8379884622/ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Really glad I kept the Yellow 914 too! So my engine build continues... it's going to be a number of months, but hopefully it'll be back on the road by or during summer. Thanks everyone for your advice and help, and I'm glad to still be part of this awesome community. Randy |
