gooten1 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-04-2005, 10:34 AM

Figured I'd write about the car until I get some pics up.

1997 318ti Active, Schwarz (black), 5 speed, pw, ps, pdl, manual seats...
M tech side trim
lower springs
Supersprint exhaust w/ rectangle chrom tip
cat delete
Matrix racing euro corners
PIAA turn lights
superwhite headlight bulbs
K&N intake (8"x4" tube filter)

wanted mods (in no particular order):
Angel Eyes or Demon Eyes
eyelids
clear LED taillights
2.8L engine conversion
new wheels (or powdercoat the stocks)
Carbon fibre hood
CF sunroof
Shock tower brace
Anti-roll bar
M tech front & rear bumpers
window tint (dark)
Limited slip diff (get me one and I'll trade a 3.45 stock diff from my car)
high perf. clutch
M seats (dove grey vaders with /// on them)
not to spend a lot of money on any of that, but still get decent products

Pics Soon!

Oh, and I forgot...I'm a slack ass.

I broke the camera. And I can't fix it with duck tape. In other words, it's beyond fixing.

(There's a Racing Dynamics strut bar across there now, this was the week before I put it on.)

I've got a set of 17's on the way. My 10 spokes are getting donated to my buddy's VW Jetta (the silver one in the above picture) once they get new shoes. He doesn't get the BMW center caps though... d=

As you can see, I got the angel eyes I wanted. The rings light up blue. Next, I dropped some Bilsteins on the back end, to stiffen the butt up a bit. The Racing Dynamics front strut bar does a good job bracing up the front end, but I'll need some Bilsteins up there soon too.

Next mod will be new euro tail lights. Then a tint job. May have to get it a bit lower with the 17's on it, but it scrapes on bumps as it is. Damn exhaust hangin extra low. I'd like to put an air splitter under that front bumper. I'm still looking for the M-tech rear bumper for the ti. That downforce would be nice on the back end.

ur filter is uber dirty! CLEAN IT UP DUDE!

cbouchez · #12 (**permalink**) 04-24-2005, 12:05 AM

very nice pics!

Is that a C-17?

gooten1 · #13 (**permalink**) 04-24-2005, 04:24 AM

Yeah, the filter was hella dirty. I cleaned out the engine bay before I put on that strut bar, and I used the K&N recharge kit on the filter, so now it's clean, oiled and nice and red. (=

Good eye, that is a C-17. It came in with the limos and such for Pres. Bush. They wouldn't let me take my car down to the ramp with Air Force One....

They aren't going to fit.

VW Jetta bolt pattern = 5 x 100mm
BMW volt pattern = 5 x 120mm

Your friend is SOL.
