A 318ti is not particularly fast off the line or from a stop light. A ti is most fun in the twisties. Forget about the Civics. Go out and do an autocross or driving school. Have fun in a safe environment. | | | 07-03-2002, 07:21 AM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: beaverton, oregon ,usa Posts: 7 | so there isn't much i can do to make my car faster? i saw stuff for it on bavarian... but i was wondering about dinan? i was just reading some other threads and heard that mentioned somewhere. Where do i find info about SuperCHarging the little beast? | | | 07-03-2002, 04:57 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 | Well you can get a chip which adds a little horsepower I think about 14hp and an exhaust which will add at the most 4 horse power and a ram air intake then Im sure you will notice a bit of a difference but nothing major. You could supercharge it or you can convert it to a 325 engine or an m3 engine, but that is gonna put a dent in you pocket. | | | 07-03-2002, 10:31 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | A DA/SC should run around $3500 not including installation. Seems a little much just to beat out a Civic. You have yet to find the joy of driving a BMW. It's not how fast you can launch from a stop light. A stock ti is a great car to learn how to drive. Get involved with autocrossing.

Im just really into the street racing/drag racing scene. I will prolly also do autocross this year too. I just sold my 1997 dodge Neon for this bmw... and i miss the power i got out of my pimped out neon. Extimated 160 ponies! now im down to 138. I think that it is just a respect issue... you only hear about Honda's dominating the scene well when im done upgrading my car I will dominate the scene. Anyone know of some nice body kits? Wheels? Anything? i have only had the car 2 weeks but i wanna upgrade it SOOOOO BAD! Anything cheap i can do to get a few little ponies out of her? | | | 07-04-2002, 03:39 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Cheap? As already stated, you can get a Dinan chip, exhausts and intakes are debatable whether they will add hp. K&N filter may actually rob hp. If an engine transplant or DA/SC is out of the question, consider a new cam. No idea how much that will cost though. That will bump you up in HP. Sorry, I just don't understand Bimmers being part of the import scene. Different beasts. ...old fart 1996 328ti | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
