Well so far it seems there are only three of us MN ti's. So it I think it would be easy to organize one!!! lmao And oh hell yeah I love my exhaust!!!! :biggrin: I will never use anything other than Supersprint.I wanted to get headers but I've only seen prices for like $800 plus. Where did you order from? I hate when companies say stuff is on backorder. My sis got me a present back in Feb and still hasn't got sh*t cuz its on "backorder". :ashamed:

I got my exhaust from leatherz.com i am really curious to se what it sounds like only because my car is an automatic. Do you think it will sound any worse with the auto?

I can't say for sure :rolleyes: , but now that I thought about that it might make a difference in the sound. I never really noticed a difference until I hit higher rpms in the car. By the way do you have any pics of your car? I was just wondering which blue it is. Are you on mnsportcompacts.net at all? check it out if you aren't!!

I'd love to, but I probably won't have my car for like a month or longer. :x I got rearended last week. So my car is sitting in a body shop getting it's rearend felt up and scoped out. :biggrin: If you get a specific day/time setup just let me know and I might have my car back hopefully!!!!

06-04-2005, 07:22 PM
that sucks you got rear ended . how bad was he damage to your car? I think i would of fliped if someone rear ended me but oh well ill try to get a date set up for the meet but i dont know where to do it because there are sooo many parking lots and places to meet down there its crazy :2gun:

Not horrible few dents in the hatch and the rear bumper. Took it to Hopkins Auto Body(if you know of it). They do really good work and usually help u screw insurance companies into paying for quality work. The rear suspension might be tweakeed a little too. But I was replacing the clutch, getting a camber kit, and replacing my cat this last week anywho. Once I get her back it will be like a brand new TI. Midway can really blow sometimes. I would suggest HarMar mall parking lot. It's close to the area, but away from the homo cops and fart canned civics. Keep in touch about it and hopefully the cars fixed quickly :rolleyes:

myblueTI
06-05-2005, 01:32 AM
ya i will figure out where we can meet when the time comes but i think i might have a new bimmer by that time i am looking at htis really sweet 323is323is :2gun:

nick_hegel
06-06-2005, 01:52 AM
MMMMM purty wheels on it. What engine is in it, 2.5 inline 6? Are you getting rid of your ti??

myblueTI
06-06-2005, 02:01 AM
ya its a 323is but it has the inline 6 2.5 so its pretty quick. I dont know i am looking to get an e36 coupe but i still kinda a want a ti. Its just that i want(not need) more power in my ti. I think it would be more worth it to buy a new bimmer than put that much into the Ti what do you think? :2gun:

myblueTI
06-06-2005, 02:18 AM
You should make up some bogus stuff about the accident like Ya rigth after you got rear ended umm my downing atlanta supercharger fell off so im going to need that replaced as well oh ya and those 18 inch hre rims those were stolen when my car was towed to the shop so ya im going to need those replaced too

lmao, i just realized I think we are the only two posting on this thread!!!!Honestly, I think I would rather have the TI with a swap. Theres something about having the unique body with the engine. Best of both worlds!!! I would think if you take your time and shop around, you could end up finding a good deal on the parts. And I know an awesome mechanic out in Maple Lake that does like a flat rate of $50 an hour. He does all the work on my car and I can completely trust him. I'm thinking of doing a swap once I pay off this car and buy a new one. I want to strip the ti I have now and run an s50/s52 motor, but right now it's just a wet dream

:2gun:

LMFAO!!! Somehow i don't think State Farm would fall for a supercharger falling off, but I guess trying doesn't hurt. BTW is that 323 stock cept for the wheels?? and how much are they asking on it?? (I promise I won't try to buy it)

myblueTI
06-06-2005, 02:31 AM
i dont know if i want to pay the money for the swap though i hear it is just as powerfull with the dasc so i think i might look into that i alittle more but i am still looking at a swap so. But i hear there is a turbo out there for it and it really hauls balls so i might have to check into that. I just want the cheapest way to keep up with a stock m3. Plus my Ti is an auto so i i want to swap the tranny but a couple of mechanics that i have talked to say that a s/c is better with an auto and a turbo is better with the manual so i have lots to consider but it is still what you call a "wet dream" :ashamed:

myblueTI
06-06-2005, 03:37 AM
the 323 has 18" wheels, lowered it 2 inches, exhaust, k&n intake filter, sub and amp, dynomatted trunk for the subs, tinted windows, sirus radio, harmon Kardon sound system, aftermarket alram system and its going for about 13 thousand. I think its a pretty good deal but allot of people are telling me for 13 you can get a m3 but the insurance would rape me because im under 18 so thats not an option. thats why i want to be able to keep up with a m3 but i dont know i really like the look of the e36 coupe allot. Allot to be done too since it has the 2.5 in it too :2gun:

nick_hegel
06-06-2005, 03:40 PM
Yup insurance sucks!!! Thats part of the reason I have my ti. I don't think 13k is horrible for it. Car already has good additions to it and still has plenty of potential!!

myblueTI
06-07-2005, 03:06 AM
ya im just going to keep the ti because i think i can do some stuff to it now and wait and just get an m3 when i am older and have the money but i think i am going to try to do some autocrosses this summer. so i am going to do suspension and tires and hopefully my exhaust whenever the hell it comes in :2gun:

Not very many around so you may as well keep it since you got one already. Anyway there are always going to be plenty of modified 3 series coupes for sale. BTW are you going to the Volksport show on Sunday June 12th??

myblueTI
06-11-2005, 12:51 AM
where is this show and what kind of cars are there? Is it just like a meet or is it a show? Are you going to be there? :2gun:

nick_hegel
06-11-2005, 07:27 AM
Oh I will for sure be there. I've been planning on it for a few months. I believe it is an actual show! All I really know about it is that it's being held at Westside Volkswagen in St. Louis Park/Western Mpls. Technically it's only a VW show, but my brother talked to a few guys and heard that a bunch of bimmer guys are showing up too. Bring your car if you can make it and I'll keep an eye out for a ti. I'd rather look at a ti anyways!!! lmao

myblueTI
06-11-2005, 01:03 PM
I dont think i will be able to make the show i work at 2 on sunday so since your going you should take some pictures and post the good ones for me :biggrin: There should be at least one TI i think but if there isnt oh well i am not going to worry. :2gun:

Anyone in MN have any left-over 16" OEM Sport Wheels (Style 18 )? I need to replace a bent one. Bad paint is OK, but they must be absolutely true and straight. I don't need the tire.

These ones:

Supposed to get my car on Friday!!! I talked to Motorwerks and Sears Imported Autos about having an alignment done once I get it. The tech at Sears said they can't do it because of the camber kit and then the tech at Motorwerks had never even heard of a camber kit. Can u believe that?? I hope that it was just a salesman that picked up the wrong line, but OMG what a friggin idiot!

myblueTI
06-21-2005, 02:44 AM

myblueTI
06-21-2005, 02:47 AM
I threw on my clear corners and clear sidemarkers today and my bud who has a 2002 325Ci thought it would be cool if we raced and i had him off the start but when we got to about 85 he pulled in front of me and when we got to 100 he was maybe a car in front of me so either my car is faster than i think or his car is slower than i think. What is the deal do you think?
Oh well it was cool to finally race him and be pretty close so whatever :2gun:

nick_hegel
06-21-2005, 03:22 PM
Not bad I'd be happy to stay with a newer 325 anyday! I think the engines are pretty even with each other, but because his is a bit larger they can always pull more at higher speeds. Are you changing the signal bulbs to clears or leaving them amber??

myblueTI
06-25-2005, 01:57 AM
did you get your car back yet ? :2gun:

nick_hegel
06-25-2005, 03:42 AM
did you get your car back yet ? :2gun: :x nope! maybe another week.5 or so. I had to get a new flywheel. So I'm ordering a Turner 9lb one on Monday. Turner was closed this afternoon when I called. This absolutely blows!!! I don't know if I'll ever get it back.

myblueTI
06-29-2005, 03:12 PM
I left all the lights with the white bulbs. It looks 10x better. But i think its illegal i think they have to be amber not white? Not fully sure on that but i got my radar working so thats cool now.

nick_hegel
06-29-2005, 03:34 PM
I think you'll be ok. My brother changed his signals to white in back and bluish on the front and side, plus he has blue leds signals in the mirrors. Sometimes I want to change too, but my new mirrors have the amber led signals. My new lightweight flywheel should be dropped off tomorrow :evil_lau: !! Sooo maybe I'll get it back in a little over a week.

myblueTI
07-03-2005, 04:37 AM
ya im not worried that much about the lights but when my dad drove the car he got a ticket for no front plate and i dont want to put it back on because it looks dumb so i have it in the front window and you can only see about half of the license plate :? . i am worried that im going to get a ticket and then they will say something about that i already have a ticket for no front plate and i still dont have one on. That is why i bought the radar. Now lets just hope that it works really good :2gun:

nick_hegel
07-03-2005, 05:36 PM

Man how long have you not had your car now ? a couple weeks/months/years lol I'm extremely patient! My car has been gone since June 1st. I talk to the mechanic(also a friend) about every two or three days. He guarantees I'll have it by the end of this week. Waiting on Napa to press in some god damn subframe bushings and the car can be put back together. Once I have it back I might actually go down to University hust for ****s and giggles. Should be soon. I do miss having occasionall night drives to chill out after work, but I got my sisters Nissan Sentra Spec V. It's definitely a cheap jap car, but it can still handle and accelerate pretty decent! It does in a pinch lol

ya my sister ha d mazda speed protege and it had a turbo so it was pretty fast. Prolly beat my car cause i have an auto and hers was a stick though. Weird thing is we never raced. I dunno why should of though. Oh well. I know my car would of handeled better for sure though :evil_lau:

I parked an '05 Audi S4, '05 Audi A4 1.8t, '05 Range Rover, '04 BMW X5, a Jaguar XJR (i think), Mercedes SL600 AMG and the best was an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish!!!!! :evil_lau: That car was so sick. Pretty fun to pick a few hundred bucks for just a few hours of work. So damn hot though :x

yesterday i went down to minnatonka and stoped at sears to look at the new 3's. Not to bad actually after looking for a while. But the sweet part was that down at morries mazda the have 2 ferrarisand a dozen new masaratis. The used car maneger said that my dad could drive whatever he wanted to. Guess what we drove......
Nothing i was sooooooo pissed!!!!!
I cant believe they keep setting back the date for your car. Why is it taking them so long to fix it. They must be encountering new problems or something.

nick_hegel
07-15-2005, 11:44 PM
The mechanic was just waiting on Napa to press out old subframe and press in new. They took over a week to do that. But he picked them up today and hopefully have everything assembled and over to Performance Alignment early next week. Why did you not drive anything???? Last weekend I saw a really nice silver M3 with some black rims with a polished lip. Looked super nice. Did u see it??

myblueTI
07-15-2005, 11:50 PM
ya i was pissed about not driving anything but i didnt see that m3 there. They had lots of sweet cars there though. It made me fell like i was driving the wrong car or i was in the wrong place. Pull up and park next to a 99 ferrari 355 spyder it was soo sweet. If it was a hardtop i would of had to buy it there. well i would call my best friend Bill Gates and he would wire me the money you know :rolleyes:

Hello local boys and girls.

I'm searching for a 318ti as a daily beater and something to play with. Could you guys keep me posted when one comes available? I'm looking for one with 120k or less miles and a 5-speed is a must.

If you guys autox or do track events I run with the COM and MAC.

Ya you should really hurry up and fix your car. I want to see it I want to see it too! If it weren't for this site, I wouldn't remember what a TI looks like. The mech said my rear suspension looks really good. He painted vairous part gloss black and yellow to match the bilsteins. Still have no word from him yet this morning as to when i get it back. :frown:

Do your wheels stay cleaner from brake dust bacause of the color or can you still notice the brake dust on the wheels

nick_hegel
08-03-2005, 06:35 PM
Do your wheels stay cleaner from brake dust bacause of the color or can you still notice the brake dust on the wheels There has to be an assload of dust to notice it. But I wash the car enough to rinse a decent amount off. On occasion I'll completely take them off and run over to a car wash and really clean them up with a microfiber mitt and wheel cleaner. Hope you have fun on the family vaca. God I'm glad I don't have to do the summer trips anymore! :biggrin:

Ok we will go down there but it has to be before school starts and i think we start on the 6-7 of september since im still in high school:( I hate that feeling knowing you have the first day coming up. I could never really enjoy the last few days of summer. My rents would always take us to the State Fair on its last day and it was the worst feeling riding home knowing you had to get up for school the next day! :mad: What year are you in, senior/junior?? I graduated in 02, but I still feel the same as I did when I was in school.

I went to Hooters in Burnsville last night for my 21st. SOooooooo ****ing fun! The waitresses loved the group we brought in. It was like 40 people. I was kinda pissed though cuz they didn't have a normal bar with hard liquor, just tap beer. So I loaded up on that :drunk: :drunk:

It's rare enough that I see a 318ti, but I've seen 2 blue ones on the past 3 days.

#1, a Sport model (exactly like mine). Westbound Cliff Road, Eagan. Younger chick; I smiled and waved, but nothing :( Guess not an enthusiast, or I'm ugly :wink:

#2, base or Active, Eastbound 494 in front of Motorwerks BMW, interestingly enough :)
