i remember riding around with my dad when i was like 10. He drives a pos 92 dodge dakota thats rusted to shit and falling apart. He makes enough to afford almost any car he wants so I asked him what his favorite car was, he said "this one", I was very confused and asked why. He said that his favorite car is the one that's paid off.
onLINEThanks for noticing. The front end bolts up fine. The back end was a total bitch...there's lots of posts on r3v about it. It basically took me every weekend from Nov-now to fix rust swap the bumpers and prep for paint. Deleted the antenna at the same time.
No problem. I read 1986 and was expecting metal bumpers. Car looks clean, great job on it. I'm looking for a 325ix to accompany my vert but I hear that the majority of them are unmaintained money pits made of rust.

Most "ix" e30's have been winter driven their whole life. That being said if your in the east coast pm me, a friend has a 1989 325ix TOURING!! 5spd he wants to pass on to an enthusiast. I was going to buy it but cant justify it right now. There are about 3 small rust spots on it. Was imported to Canada around 8 years ago.
Funny story, I gave the p/o cash for the car, before I get in the car and leave, I walk to the trunk and pop it off in front of him lol. Don't think he was impressed.

Hahaha I would've done the same.
Best one i've seen was an older 318i with the stock badge still on there and an M badge just crudely slapped next to it, all crooked and shit. There's a special place in hell for people who put fake badges on their cars

I can let it slide if it's for a laugh rather than to pretend your car is cooler than it is. My buddy had a hybrid badge on his city jetta and people though he was driving some fancy brand new vw hybrid that doesn't exist. It was great
DavinI like it minus one thing... the damn euro plate
never understood the VW scene and the stupid quotes they put on those things. Dumbest one ive seen was "paid for" with completely unnecessary umlauts
I would never ever put something like that on my car haha. I see where you're coming from - i don't have one to fit in with the stigma of the VW scene, i just like the way it looks
Hers: 2008 Impreza with King lift springs and Koni dampers. It's so much better with the new suspension, I highly recommend the upgrade unless you hate a firm ride.
Mine: 1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe. It's a serious handful in snow and hilariously unruly in rain, but in summer it's the ultimate high-speed, two-person camping road trip machine. These things sold terribly when they came out (everyone wanted the convertible Z3 James Bond drove in Goldeneye) and nobody's really made a practical sportscar since. Basically the only thing that could make me consider selling it is if Subaru made this Outback-style BRZ hatch (which they won't).
It's so much fun to drive. I look forward to waking up and driving to school every morning.
fiesta st is awesome.
i was super close to pulling the trigger on one about 6 months ago.
loved everything about it.
last min decided to wait for the launch of the rs.
hopefully dont regret.
aside from it probably costing close to around double of a new fiesta st, there is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that it will be totally worth the wait.
mmallender.aside from it probably costing close to around double of a new fiesta st, there is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that it will be totally worth the wait.
sparknotes: give your head a shake my friend
the fiesta st i had priced out was just over 30k canadian loonies out the door.
i cant see the rs being 60k
and if it is, i have absolutely zero doubt in my mind that they will sell a single one.
i figure a years wait and a couple extra grand was worth waiting to find out.
RimJobber^ they were saying its gonna be around 38-40k probably
yeah i heard close to $42000 US or roughly $51000 at the current exchange, which may not be double, but its getting pretty close, and unless they pull something like vw did with the golf r making almost everything standard and price it out better for canadians, that is the base price. i am hoping i am wrong, it looks pretty rad and a competitor to the golf r/sti for quite a bit more than either isnt much of a competitor at all.
this isnt something i want to be right about though, its about as good as calling that itll be a shitty snow season haha..
North.WestWait what did you actually change? Did you just lower it a little, get new rims and take away the red accent around the grille?
Haha no. It's a good 3-4 inches lower, bigger fatter wheels, the whole car is now red (see above picture) custom exhaust, control arms with -7 degrees of rear camber, pulled fenders, smoked all the lights, tinted it, tuned it, and have new tail lights on the way.
