It's an '89 325is with a 2.5 liter slant 6 cylinder that cranks 168 ponies with a crushing 181 lbs of torque. It weighs 2844 lbs which is the lightest 325 model of my year. I've raced many civics and killed them no offense but most of them are slow.

wins:
-'03 Eclipse Spyder auto
-'96 Camaro V6
-'02 Eclipse GTS
-'91 CRX Si w/ Cold-Air Intake/Exhaust and performance wires, Headers, no power steering.
-'01 1500 Dodge pickup
-'90 Civic H/B Si intake/exhaust
-'99 Volvo Wagon v70
-'02 focus w/ msd ignition, headers, cold air intake, exhaust
-'69 cougar 302 w/ headers, intake, exhaust, new tranny fourspeed, 3.80 final drive, msd ignition, and more.
-'00 focus w/ mazda engine (~170 hp)
-'00 prelude typeSH w/ intake
-'70s skylark (super clean)
-'91ish civic ???

loses:
-(Approx.)'93 Civic Si Hatch SOHC VTEC w/ Turbo.

Now, more importantly, my sound system. I have implanted a 10" solo baric L7 in my back seat so it utilizes my trunk as a box. I have a pinner sony explod 800 watt (x5 i think) amp that's not bridgeable so i'm really pushing 210 weak watts. I have a pioneer head unit that handles two 5.25" sony explods up front and two 5.25" kenwoods in the back. And i have 4 all-round tweeters to make the slice.

I have a real aggresive style of driving so naturally I love to drift. I started drifting for fun a year and a half ago but i recently started to get serious about a month ago. I have the E-brake mastered. I need to improve on my , feint, and high speed drift.

Performance Mods:
-Bavarian Autosport Cross-Drilled and slotted Rotors w/ Pagid sport pads.
-Bavarian Autosport Short Shifter (Kit C).
-K&N air intake.
-Magna Flow free flow exhaust.
-TMS performance chip tuned by Jim Comforti.
-MSDS Inc. shorty headers.

Future mods include:
-Engine rebuild with performance parts.
-H&R lowering springs with Koni air shocks.
-4.10 LSD Differential.
-Hopefully, a turbo.

Although my car is wearing in the leather seats, I love my car. I have 200k miles on my BMW and it runs like a champ. I drift the car and it handles its own like nothin! I just recently ran a 15.3 sec 1/4 mile! Yes, shizzle happens. But i love my car too much to take it to someone who doesn't to get it fixed so i replace/repair/install everything myself.
