I had a tuned WRX GC8 Impreza a few years ago, around 400 on the engine, Kinugawa TD05-18 turbo, 440c Bosch injectors, Race fuel pump, Greddy Profec B Spec 2 Boost controller, 76mm straight pipe cat-back from eBay and a great tune! Some extras were Lightweight pulley kit, had a Short throw shifter I remember, a new wing from STI, and a Sparco steering wheel. Car was a freaking beast

Then I totaled the engine and got a 535D E60 with a remap, but yeah...now I'm in a hole, stuck, working minimum wage, so I can't even afford a freaking.... skateboard

The Impreza was an import from England, btw. Right hand drive, IMPOSSIBLE to make a left turn in a "normal" country, if there was cars up front waiting for a left too, had to wait all of them, wait for yellow, then go. Also outside of town, pain. Overtaking only on either completely empty roads, or on a slightly right turns. Pain, but I took the car only to race with it, had another one, a daily one

I mean, many people in Bulgaria and I guess not only here - live by this extremely dumb principle. So they're like, that's all me money, but I gotta show status, I gotta prove myself that I'm the best, girls gotta like me, so I have 20k saved up, I'm gonna throw 19 for a car, and then I'll starve and I'll only eat bread and butter, with today's inflation bread and mayo probably because butter is expensive lmao. I don't get it

YouΓÇÖll feel the economy difference going from an Impreza to the twin turbo diesel. Is yours the m57 or the n57 engine?

IΓÇÖve got the f30 330d with a stage 1 map on at present and IΓÇÖm still averaging above 40mpg

M57. The N57 I think they put in the newer cars, not in E60. Twin turbo 3-liter diesel it was. Sold it 2 yrs ago. Urban consumption around 15-16 liters per 100 km, extra urban was around 10-11, extremely thirsty engine.

Now I got the Zafira B, 150 hp turbo on factory CNG natural gas, driving it as a cab.

Hey, I am a bike lover, I love mountain bikes.
But one day a saw a car Ford Mustang GT Classic Vintage and I was fall in love with this car. This car is a monster and the sound of the car engineer made me mad.
Is any here also love this car? or anyone who also love bikes? Please their story with us about how they get in love with bikes and which types of bikes you likes.
Sorry for the late reply. Yea That is a beautiful car. My friend, she is building a classic Mustang GT and I forgot the year. Bikes I like them but I am just scared of them.
