Holy shit, it's been a year.
Finally got an exhaust on the thing and I've been dailying it for the past few days - I seriously love driving it. But I'm moving into DC this weekend, and city living doesn't really accommodate owning two cars. Since I've been driving it, it's made it REALLY hard to decide between this and the STi, but this is gonna be the one to go. I'll probably ask in the $9k range, and I'd consider myself a 'motivated' seller. It'll be in the NoVA area for the next week or so, but then I'll be storing it down at my folk's place until I can find a buyer.
Youtube!
Check out how ridiculously short the gears are (e36 ZF tranny with 3.73 rear end). 2nd tops out at about 45 and I think the first three gears (starting at 10mph) last a grand total of 5-6 seconds. I really think they take away from the car. First vid is my car, second is my buddy's - he has a 3.25 rear end.

Edit: somebody toss this in the 'Projects" forum?
