Hi All,

I've been surfing the forums for a while after I bought my ti and decided it was high time I joined.. My ride is a 95 base model(?) 318ti with an optional sunroof. There are no real mods to speak of with the exception of the rims ,kit and some color coding.. It's more of a cruiser than a racer (My other previous rides were a skyline, 180 and a civic SIR).. I know it needs lowering and that's next on my list, got the bilstein springs patiently waiting for the struts to join them as soon as summer comes along...

Well hope you like it and props for the great site and posts.. the info here has helped me out on a few occasions and there are some nice ti's driving around..

Cheers
Senz...

welcome! looks like a nice ride. what front bumper is that (unfortunately, the garage profile isn't long enough for a good size list of mods)?

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

Hi all, thanks for the comments.. I thiiiink the bumper is from Glaube http://glaube-jpn.com/ .. I bought it on yahoo auctions in Japan and that's the closest match to it that I've seen.. although mine has round spotlights in it..so it may be a customized one.
The color coding was from the previous owner, I think because this is a 95 model it didn't come with painted side mirrors and under the kit the factory sideskirt looking metalwork has been painted as well as the rear hatch handle area..

The purple rainguard is kinda sucky, but I'm a little worried that if I pull it off some of the paint will come too..

Well spotted, the kit is a slightly different silver.. I had it painted as before it was a weird custom metallic grey aqua..I'll post up some more pics and a little story soon...

Seriously, I don't think you'll get an answer, being that the thread is over a year and a half old and the guy hasn't been back on here since January of last year. Good luck though.

Default long time no see, hisashiburi

Don't worry levino, I get reply's posted to my email and I try to respond when time permits. I have since sold that car and moved away from Japan. cooljess, chill dude..

The rims were entirely too big for the car, they were 17inch works rezax and I think they were for a 5 series as the offset was way off.(I got them for $150 with 4 tyres on yahoo auctions) I had to stretch 215's over the rear rims to fit them under the guards without rubbing the wheelarches over bumps..and I was pulled up, fined and ordered to change the fronts as they were sticking out around 1 cm from the guards. Even after I changed the fronts to a similar look mesh bbs rsII with a little dish the car got attention and on the next time I was pulled over I pretended that I couldn't speak much Japanese and argued until they let me off with a warning.

It was a sweet ride and I had a lot of fun in it.. the works rezax look hot if you can get the newer series ones.. they should also have them in an offset that'll suit a 3 series..don't be stupid like I was and fit the wrong rims, way more hassle than it's worth.. cheers.

Yeh, Yahoo Japan,lotta stuff there, I also bought some lowered springs but never put them in due to too many hassles with clearance and camber... I moved back to OZ.
