I've said this on the chats, but I'm having a hard time deciding on whether or not I want to keep this thing at the moment. I go back and forth on this decision almost daily, but I'm getting to the point where I need to make a decision.
I'm selling the subaru either way.
Option 1: Buy a MK6 GTI (12-13K), keep M3 for now.
Option 2: Buy a MK6 Golf R (18-19K), mod it to 330whp or so (downpipe, fuel pump, tune) and sell the m3. Maybe get an e30 or something to mess with as a project car.
If I keep the M3, there's a few expensive maintenance items coming up. It may be easier just to sell it. It runs and drives very well right now, but there are a few things it really should have.
Things it NEEDS:
Rod bearings, I just hit 130k so I'm really on borrowed time. - ~$700 ish in parts including a used snap on techangle for the angle torque
Things it needs, but can wait:
RTABS - $200 for rtabs, limiters, and rtab tool
Maybe front lower control arms (haven't investigated yet, but one of the ball joints just started making a noise when you turn the steering wheel) - $535
Washer fluid reservoir - $70
Things it should have:
Shifter rebuild kit - $73
Motor/Trans mounts - $293
VANOS rebuild/bulletproofing - $470
Just not sure which direction I want to take with cars right now.
