Welcome to Subaru country, I know WRX's are rare (especially the blue ones) but they are German under the hood. Also, take a look at any STI, same deal.

Mostly German, with a hint of mid west, a tad of Pee-Ay Dutchie, pinch of texan, plus a dash of French.

the euro section of this forum is really dead. I wish some subies or evos would transform into some bmws, vws, and audies to even out the hoards of them on this forum. I think its never going to happen, but Ill keep wishing. Well hopefully there is going to be more bimmers at the upcoming meets at fresh works. I let a couple forums know about it.

Thanks for making the post in the Mid-Atlantic section of m3forum, dude! You can count me in after graduation for a lot of the events. I was talking to Obioban from M3F the other day, and I mentioned TST. He said he'd be more than willing to come with either his e46 or e36 at any given meet. I think m3_shin would be down with come out too once he fixes his damn achilles tendon.

Shame you couldn't make it out on the 25th...

Awesome! He helped me install my suspension. Unbeknownst to me M3John = m3_shin on M3F. I've seen him numerous times on the road and in person (restaurant visits). Hope your b-day party went well :P

Any plans for the new car yet? I've caught the mod bug the past few months...

Yea Iv got some plans, but they are just plans for now. I bought my car cash so Im kinda in a small hole right now as to doing mods. Also starting up a bussiness in Harrisburg.

So far I have an afe intake, magna flow exhaust, teins s techs (temorary until I can afford some pss9s), blacked out grill, depo smoked corners, painted bumper reflectors, tint, Royal Purple synchromax in the tranny, blacked out emblems, and Predator Chromiums.

Planning on doing 4.10 diff, SS headers, D/A race software, PSS9s coilovers, UUC EVO3 SSK, Maya Stm rims, Strassentech lip, csl trunk, csl diffuser, and some other exterior mods.

Hopefully I finish modding it during the summer.

Sounds mean looking! Even if you do half of the stuff you plan on, your car will still look great. I'll have to check out the Depo corners. Unsure whether or not they would be too dark on Silver Gray. I have a blacked out M3 badge, but I'm considering clearcoating it (so it isn't dull).

If you haven't already, you should check out the new stuff coming out from D/A on M3F. CSL-style airbox, rumored stand-alone engine management? It's going to be a good year :mrgreen:

hey Obioban, you should def come down this thursday to the tristatetuners meet. The info is stickied on the top page of the meet section. I also posted it on M3forum.

Also there is another meet that is comming up at Floyd Bennett field the 22nd in NYC which I also posted on M3forum. There is going to be a caravan. The info on the caravan is on bimmerforums.

Hope you make it this thursday.

turbo 332is and 325i over here. Thinking of supercharging the 325i but I need to reinforce the gearbox first.

I don't believe any of you guys ever hit up Hooters or the SAC. I know one of you fellas are on bfc, anybody else?

Im working on it. I want to drop it like its hot but all the spring setups i have seen make the ass end look lower than the front. I want this look even though im sure its got coilovers.

Almost everyone has the rear lower than the front. Here are 2 of which the front and rear are the same height. They are on coilover. Thats the only way that you are going to get that look. There are no springs that are made to have the front and back match, unless you cut the spring.

My rear is a little lower than my front. If I lower the front anymore, I think my stance is going to be too aggressive for my tastes.

i've been waiting for the germans to start making some noise on this forum. i went to bfc because i wanted to hear about my car or ones like it. e46 323i and i love it. speaking of the springs my front and rear are the same and i have eibach sportlines with solid aluminum shock mounts and soon to be eibach dampers or blisteins' i have yet to decide anyone have any comments on either company. i think i should stick with the eibach setup to keep it all the same.

there aren't that many of us on here....but give it time since I know of at least 300+ bimmers in the jersey/pa/ny/ct area are active on the bfc regional forum. on the occasion, we have bbw meets or even meets at Triumph.

the bilsteins will ride more stiff then the eibachs. keeping it the same doesn't really do you anything, you're best off choosing what is best for the ride you'd like to achieve.

your rsms are solid aluminum? do you mean you're running mono-ball rsms or do you have a rubber/urethane insert?

I think you said that the jetta you used to own was an automatic, and you like the rs cause it is a manual. Did I get that right? my german sucks.

I said I used to own a VW. It was a jetta but it was automatic so I really didnt bother doing anything to it.

Now I got an RS, and yeah, its a stick. I just said it's better ( <3 AWD )

Gotta love all M3s and GTIs though. Really love both of em.
