Default It's been awhile, but I still miss you guys

Hey guys hows it going?

I know it's been a very long time since I've posted on the forum. To make a long story short, I sold my car a long time ago, to another member on the board. I still come around every now and then to read about what you guys are up to. It's nice to see what projects you guys have been working on.

I will admit that I miss the ti.......but I had my reasons for selling her, and I can say is that I hope the new owner is taking good care of her.

So what have you guys been up to?

-Juni

My ti needs a lot of work to be ready for spring.
  • Oil leak near the oil filter housing (I think)
  • Shift lever is not centered, probably a spring in the tranny
  • Clutch is starting to slip
  • Reinstall my H&R Race Spring
  • Buy new Koni adjustables
  • New RA1s
We'll see what actually gets done.

I put in a new motor this past weekend after cyl.3 on the old motor spun a bearing and bent valves. 200k motor has been put out to the pasture.

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.

Hows it going Juni? I never talked to you or anything, but I remember seeing an exhaust video of your car and it sounded really nice. Too bad you had to sell the Ti. What car did you get now?

Of course we will stay part of the community, I did. I totalled my Ti about 3 months ago and got myself a 95 Convertible 318i. I thought it was time for a change after the accident.

Hey Guys!

First off, happy new year! To Hugo: Yes, I did notice that your SC'd your car awhile ago right? How's it running?

To Shaggy: Even though I never really spoke to you, thank you for the compliment on my old ti! I would like the new owner to post more, but I think I'll leave that up to him. I did get a new lil project car/winter beater. It's a 96 Honda Prelude w/JDM H22A and a couple lil JDM tidbits. Its a nice lil car......definetly quicker than the ti. But not even in the same league as far refinement, handling, or style......but then again it's a type of car.

To Bluebimma: Im sorry to hear that your engine blew, but nice to know that you got a new one.


I always check the forums regularly, so if I can answer any questions to folks please just let me know.

BTW KEN.......when we gonna meet up so that i can get you those spare ti parts? Let me know.

-Juni

Hey Juni,

Happy New Year! Health and happiness in '07. It's nice to hear that all is well.

Was it you that came up to Bavauto's S 'n S? I know I saw your car parked at a BK on Route I as I was leaving the show. I tried to swing around to stop and chat, but then I saw your car at an intersection and tried to wave the driver (you?) down, but no success.

Good to hear from you again. Well long story short my car is now a complete peice of **** and Im trying to get it fixed up for sale or project retirement before I join the blown engine club (and I dont mean the SC/Turbo Club). So tell us more about this honda project, My cousin and me are thinking about another project and a honda is on the possibilities list.

Hey!

No, I sold my car like 2 weeks before the Bavauto show. Also, I definetly dont eat any fast food.......(doesnt agree with me) lol. I really wanted to go to the show, but things worked out faster than I thought.

SDKmann, Sorry to hear about your car. My Honda isnt something I wanna dump too much money into......cuz I wanna buy a new car in the near future.

Hey what's going on Juni,so now that your baby is sold we can't get a real photo shoot done. You know one without pouring rain.

Hope things are going well with you and your new house and check back here when you can. Have a great new year man.
