Hello, for a quick intro, my name is Mike, I'm just shy of 30, have a master in Mechanical Engineering and have a full blown car addiction.
I recently bought a 1995 318ti as I wanted something small, RWD, and that had a decent wheelbase and the 318ti does that with a hatchback to boot. I've been looking for one to make into a project car for a while and finally came across a good deal so I picked it up. I rationalized the purchase with the wife as a short term daily driver...but I have other plans for it not too long after that.
I want to eventually build this car into something formidable on a road course. I'm not looking to build for any kind of class or anything, I just like building and designing parts more then anything else and I have some ideas rolling around that could be fun. I'm debating between a turbo setup on the current motor, or something with a bit more displacement...
Anyway, I'll update this thread should I do anything notable to the 318ti. In the mean time, here is my other ongoing project car.
2003 EVO, 400 HP, 2700 pounds, street mod
