So I know it isn't $25k, but I'm all excited that I got it. I flew down to Atlanta two weekends ago and drove her back. It's one of 300 British Design editions ever made.

The exhaust sound is incredible and unlike anything I've heard before. I've had it for about a week and my favorite comment from people is "What kind of car is that?". I wanted something different.

Thanks MT45

I think I'm in love with it.

I've had 2 BMWs, a 330xi and a 335xi. Both were a blast to drive, but holy shit where they pieces of crap. I'd never buy one that didn't come with a bumper to bumper warranty and a spare car for when it's in the shop. The crap that failed on those cars was insane. Motor mounts, water pumps, rear suspensions, fuel injectors, Vanos solenoids and the list goes on and on. Not to mention that they went through coil packs like they were free. Then add in all the normal stuff like brakes, rotors, tires, etc and I could have been driving a Ferrari for the same price.

You're making me miss mine. I'm assuming you can figure out where my username came from now.

I smashed it into a concrete barrier years and years ago. I wish I could say I was driving 120mph, but I was getting off an exit driving normally around a slight curve. My DD was in the shop and the Eclipse had high performance summer only tires on and it was freezing outside. You can guess how that ended.

Looks like you have probably the same laundry list of bolt-ons that I had on mine. Then again, that turbo looks a little large to be the standard EVO 16g. The sound of the BOV at 24psi was intoxicating, but the lack of usable power was frustrating.

I loved that thing and I'm sad that it's gone.

That guy was/is a rock star when it came to tuning DSMs. He helped me with my first SAFC-II tune way back in the day.

Oh, and I have a funny feeling that your list was more than $10k.

Is it spring yet? I'm getting anxious every time I walk in the garage and see her sitting there under a cover.

I have a bunch, how many would it take?
