my new ride, got rid of the bimmer.
Well i recently sold my 318is and bought a $15,000 03 WRX with 18k miles on it(one owner and clear carfax history) for several reasons. Mainly because im moving to PA the 1st of january for 9 months while i attend Wyotech and i didnt wanna trust driving the bimmer with 175k miles back and forth plus all the mountains and snow i didnt wanna kill myself considering the 318 struggled making the hills in the summer out there. I havent done anything to it yet but heres a list of the things i noticed that the previous owner put on it:

Headers, turboback blitz exhaust, blitz blow off valve, blitz turbo timer, stop tech big brake kit up front, its got a garret turbo in it but i dont beleive its stock(the boost gauge goes past all the numbers and back towards the bottom), he had a front mount intercooler but put the stock one back on for some reason

thanks, im taking collision and refinishing, and my elective is trim and upholstry. the blitz exhaust on this thing sounds beefy like a muscle car more than a rice mobile.

I'd be afraid of it if I was a streeter. Track, no. Those scobbys can get scary fast. I would probably lose drag racing.

i think i got raped on the deal, got only 1500 trade in value which was the 10% down on the wrx but now im not too worried about it cuz this car was a great deal and already has TONS of mods, pushing over 20psi on a garrett charger, not sure how much boost im running because stock gauge only goes to 21psi and the needle goes well past that(i'd buy a new boost gauge but im on a tight budget at school ).

yeah im definetly gonna get another e36 sometime after i finish school and get into my career, hopefully an m3 but most likely a 325is due to price differences.

Get a 328, best of both worlds and the price difference isn't that much from the 325, but the performance is
