    new guy - 1989 325i

    Wattup guys! My name's Gabe, I live in Asheville NC. Just picked up this beauty, traded a non-running mk2 gti for it.

    1989 BMW 325i
    Cirrus Blau



    Bilstein sport struts/shocks/strut bearings
    H&R Sport springs
    Ebay headers
    ANSA Catback
    all new shifter, linkage, bushings, etc
    stainless braided brake lines
    4.10 LSD
    Power doors, windows, sunroof

    has some problems here n there, but runs great. The Ronal's unfortunately didn't come with the car, so it's sitting on bottlecaps for now...

    Also, I run a local car club out of Asheville called WNCRiDES.com, check us out if you're around this way!

    Thanks!

    Beauty. Congrats. That non-running mk2 must have had some desirable parts on it, no?

      not really haha, the guy was a VW fan and wanted to go back to all-VW's. He had a rabbit project he was building an ABA/16v hybrid for. It was in pretty decent shape though

        just for shits and giggles, here's my other car...

        2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6

        408ci LQ9 stroker built by Appalachian Performance
        Eagle forged internals
        F.A.S.T. 92mm intake manifold
        F.A.S.T. 92mm throttle body
        TSP MS4 .649/.609 239/242
        TSP 5.3 Stage 2.5 heads
        Volant cai
        Viper-spec T-56 w/ stock hurst short throw
        Pacesetter longtubes
        3in custom y
        Borla "cat" back
        Moser axles

        everything else is pretty much stock.

        Made around 550/480 on a dying fuel pump, no tune.

        It ain't the prettiest thing in the world, but it'll scream.



        Here it is at idle:

                If you want to do something different with the wheels pm me. Those would look great on my alpine coupe. Seriously.

                    Welcome Gabe. Looks like a nice sedan. Are those pin-stripes I see?

                      It didn't come with the white ronals if that's what you're asking about :/
