Thank you sir! Drove it out from Denver. The body is rough but its rust free. Has a b16a with 80k, mfactor LSD tranny. Wasn't looking for a car just I think I got a good deal on it.itrsteez wrote:that thing is hot!!! I dig.

They should handle the job just fine.. Thats what was in my 97 with BC spec 3's tuned by Jack on Power FC.itrsteez wrote:19-24 in the M and the R's vary. It seems like 28 is normally the magic highway number, I do recall seeing 34 on the 4.785 after a few hours of steady highway cruising.
Has anybody heard of anybody using Bosch injectors vice RC or Precision? There's a guy on H-T that can get 330cc's for $155. My stockies are at 100% so I need to pick up a set of something a little better before it goes to jack for tuning.
B16, blades and LSD. Thats a score!itr #1334 wrote:Finally got a beater for a DD. Black hides alot lol.
I didn't even notice the transmission until I started looking at the detail photos. Looks snugger in the back than I would have expected.itrsteez wrote:that thing is hot! not every day you see a 5 series wagon, esp in a 6spd.

Dewd, I don't know what the problem is, but I routinely get 28mpg on the highway in my CL-S. Unless your 17mpg is strictly downtown driving, it just don't make sense.elambz wrote:I don't care what kinda gas mileage the ITR gets as long as its better than the 17 I get with the TL. 13gal tank > 17gal tank. I just hate seeing the $50 fill up. I don't mind seeing the $35 fill up with the ITR.

Maintenance chitl? CPO sez it's covered for 6yr/100k mi. Don't know if that includes the new-car free maintenance stuff or not though.Willard wrote::drool: !!!!splat wrote:Tell me this is even more of a horrible idea than I think it is.

WOW!!!
But send the linx to Jack and let him talk you out of it.
The CPO warranty and ext maintenance are two different things. The dealership will probably off it to you. It's a steal if you use the dealership for routine stuff (oil changes, belts, brakes, etc) but a rip otherwise.splat wrote:Willard wrote:splat wrote:

My problem would be selling it in a couple of years. Since I'm one of three people who would possibly consider a manual wagon, I'd have to track down one of the other two and make them a deal.
I don't think you would have trouble selling... I think there are more than 3 people in the US that would love to have it.splat wrote:Maintenance chitl? CPO sez it's covered for 6yr/100k mi. Don't know if that includes the new-car free maintenance stuff or not though.
