What do you think we're looking at in terms of budgeting to keep this thing in tip top shape?

I've itched to hop into a pre-built turbo'd vehicle.

that is difficult to say. i would first find out who did the "fresh rebuild". there are a lot of well known brand name parts in that list, but not knowing who put it together can make it all meaningless.

with this build being so new, there could be more unforseen teething and breakdown problems ahead.

does anyone here who patrons racing greed know this car?:

2005 Subaru WRX/STI

a friend is so into this, but i'm not so sure...

maybe this is worth it for someone to throw a sr20det into it and thrash on the track as-is...

oh man. swapping out tires and ditching the run flats is one of the best mods to a 135i.


Factory M sport suspension and those BS RE050A RFT's rides like ASS

Is the 2009 model a good year for the N54 compared to 07-08 in terms of reliability..?

tofu1413 07-06-2015 10:14 AM

would still stick to an N55 for overall reliability imo.

^ I think almost all 996s should be considered good buys. They are so dirt cheap for what performance you get. For $20K to $25K what else can you get with similar levels of performance, reliability, and durability. Believe it or not, at one time, 993 were dirt cheap.....

certain things can be changed. but the amount of fun you'll have in that car will more than make up for it.
