Previous Owner's for sale thread with work that was performed before I purchased the car:
http://318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15765

The reason for all that coolant work he did? Bad head-gasket, which I had done shortly after I purchased the car in ~September 2007. Head-gasket work included another new radiator, water pump, plugs, gaskets, thermostat and housing, belts, hoses, etc.

Other than the head-gasket, since I purchased the car, I've installed the following:

Performance-wise:
SA Koni's
Rear shock reinforcement plates
H&R Race Springs (still have stock M-Tech springs in box)
Eibach Front Sway Bar (still have stock Sport sway in box)
Sparco Front Stress Bar
Bimmerworld Front Camber Shims
Home-made short ram intake (shielded) (still have stock intake pieces)
Home-made axle back with Magnaflow muffler
UUC Short Shifter with Z4 weighted knob
UUC transmission bushings
225/50r16 Dunlop Z1 Star Specs shaved to 5/32nd mounted on 16x7 Z-3 "Z-Star" wheels (only used for one season)

Just ordered a set of coilover sleeves for the car. They will hopefully be installed soon.

Other:
MSD plug wires
New battery last year
Recent brake job
New foglights (thanks cones)
Smoked corner lights (stock in box)
New passenger side rear taillight
Misc interior pieces for wear
Spare valve cover gasket
Winter wheels - 15x6? with Bridgestones
Royal Purple used everywhere (I have a box of BMW filters too)

The good:
The car runs like a top. Solid 28-32 mpg. Always starts, no problems at all. The new head-gasket means the motor is probably good for another 100K miles. Hatch-back is pretty useful (I can fit 4 tires, tools, and luggage for two people over a weekend).

The car is a decent and different local STS (now ST) car. Won't take Nats by a long shot, but you look cooler than a Civic. I've paxed has high as third at my local BMW autocrosses More spring rate would make the car that much better. As it sits right now, it's a very fun, toss-able daily that looks like an M3 from the front, and just a little bit different from the back.

The bad:
Paint on the front bumper is worn, and it has the usual couple dings and scratches from being 13 years old. There is a small rust bubble at the top of the windshield. Some of the plastic under-tray is gone (common on BMWs) and would have to be replaced to be 100% to the letter of STS rules. There is one small hole (smaller than a dime) in the driver's seat. The stock 16" 5-spokes have bald tires.

Bump for an awesome ti, sorry to see you sell it Paul. It is set-up very nicely, what are you replacing it with, if you don't mind my asking.

Looking at a Cobalt SS to run in D-stock while I finish my C-Prepared car.

If there are any 318ti.org folks really interested, shoot me a PM and I'll give you my bottom line.

The turbo? Those things are supposed to be nasty, in a good way...
