New owner of a 97' ti
 
Hey,

Just got my ti today. 97 Alpine white, I believe it to be a sport but am not 100% sure. Taking into the shop to have it looked over and have a new starter installed. It needs a bit of work, but I think it will be pretty clean once I redo the headliner and have the body shop mend the rear quarter pannel. Then coilovers.

I will have photos up this weekend.

Any San Jose/sfba people floating around here?

We have a have a nice crew of members here in Nor Cal, (even have our own regional section here) and get together semi regularly.

Thanks, good to know. I see a few every time I go for bike ride. There is also another white one in the same complex as my mechanic. Dropped it off there today to have it looked over. Power steering leak, oil pan gasket, blown shocks, and a few codes related to maf and injectors. So a few fixes and installing coil overs a bit sooner than expected.

Coilovers & m3 wheels. Lowered the rear a little more after taking the photo.

I also redid my headliner and A pillars with black suede.

Got my 318 out of the shop again. Installed a low mileage transmision as the previous one in the car was hopping out of 3rd gear. New Trans feels perfect. Still need to locate a new diff, then I am about done with mods and repairs for a while.

Here are my two 90's hot hatches, 93 vw Corrado & my 97 318ti. I'd love to combine the two and have the corrado engine and body with the 318 drivetrain, rear end, and color. Though a m3 engine in either would make me happy.
