i haven't checked if the EDFC is available for the xfire, probably not. was more referring to getting those for whatever car i get next.

how does your friend like the Teins? so you figured out what car you're getting next?

 

the motor is actually out of the car right now, he bought the car with a blown motor, had to order a new one and we just replaced the oil pain. the flywheel had to be switched out because the new motor he ordered ended up being an automatic, which sucked. it should be on the road in two weeks or so, our super mechanic buddy is moving in with us next monday.

as for the car, god i wish i knew. i'm caught up between the sti, evo, gto, and legacy gt. i love the gto but its sooo heavy, great power and really nice interior though, i just don't know how much fun it would be on the track and that's become a big factor for me, i had so much fun that day. i have heard a bunch of horrible stories about evo warranties over at evolutionm.net, so i have become vary wary of buying that car. there is a dealership selling them new for $27,500 out the door in orange county, hard to pass up. the sti is creeping in the mix, the interior is much nicer than the evo but its just so damn ugly. legacy gt is just me being more practical, but it still has the sti motor (just a smaller turbo). i don't know, i'll probably make my mind up the day off.

 

what are you thinking of getting next, and when? if i had the money i would be in a 335i in a heartbeat.

 

My fiancés next car will more than likely be the 335i. We took one out last weekend. I didn't feel that is accelerated as quickly as the SRT-6 but their claimed 0-60 times are very close. The auto 6 speed with the paddle shifters is a nice piece. Gear engagement is quick and precise. We wanted to drive a manual gearbox but no one in San Diego had one. Brecht BMW in Poway was supposed to have ordered several manuals since they were getting a lot of inquires.

The biggest advantage are those turbos!!! Vishnu tuning has a chip for $1,300 that makes an additional 55-60 whp and 70-80 ft lbs or torque! Here is a quote from the 335i forum.

 

won't be buying one till next year, i kinda like having no car payments right now.

not really sure what i want to get right now... from another suv to a track car... all i know the next one i'll get will have more power than the srt6 and somewhat unique. i'll just base it on my budget (incl. mods) and go from there...

 

I really want to improve the handling of my car, but I want to do it right. Is it worth it to go with this system over the eibach spring/tein shock combo?

Thanks!
