Thats it, I'm out. Thanks so much for a great 4+ years but it was time for something new due to my high-highway miles driving, lack of racing, desire for more amenities and wanting something different.

The best alternative for me as a blending if what I wanted and was used to... BMW 325Ci... after driving a VERY diverse group of cars (Z06, Caddy Deville, EVO, Civic Si, Lincoln Continental, Rx8, 350Z, etc). I ended up with somthing that fit me and my payment ideas.

The new owner of 01-761 is a Honda-Tech regular, Integra94ls.

Thanks much over the years to my best friend and fellow former R owner goern-R... he'll be around on the S2K forums with his new car.
Thanks to Onyx, a good friend local to AZ and Honda-Tech.
Thanks to Rodney for hooking me up with info and my first mod, that Spoon header.
Thanks to all who helped over the years.

The new owner with 761...



My newness...



Take care folks, and Thanks so much for everything.

 

glad it went to a good home. good luck with the bimmer with the m4d tyte chr0me wh33lz

 

Any reason why you went with a lack luster car like the 2.5 motor 3 Series?

good luck.

 

I keep trying to thing of how that's an upgrade, but I keep coming up blank...

well great find for the new owner.. and for the old owner nice car as well and have fun with it to the both of you..

But IMO i would say: ITR &gt;3 series.. but im sure you have your reason so enjoi..

 

For the reasons he posted I think he picked the right car. He doesn't want to race, wants a comfortable car, and it wont kill his wallet. Seems logical to me.

I'd recommend something like a TL then.

 

Whatever the reasoning, it doesn't matter, nice ride and best of luck.

 

ohhhh awesome upgrade...can't blame that!
enjoy your new ride

I wouldn't call it "lack luster"... it's fun to drive, different than an ITR or any other Integra, but not "lack luster".... I'd say that on an avg day, my 325i is as quick as my GS-R was. :shrugs:

 

Wow, well I guess I can still talk to you.

So now when I ask for you at work, will the girls say, "Oh, the guy with the Ci?"

 

good luck robert! thanks again for that deal a LONG time ago. i wouldn't mind having a 325 so much. less headaches for theft, much more comfortable, etc. pop your head in here once in a while.

i'd recommend bimmerforums.com for your bimmer needs, if you haven't already done so.

kepani-who sees the transition of old owners to new owners month by month.

 

I popped in again since H-T is a tough habit to break... and as mentioned, the theft factor helped my decision as well. Remember, my best friend's R was stolen 3 weeks ago?
Anyway, to answer a bit... the car certainly does not perform like the R, no comparison. However for a daily driven, 50 mile round trip to work on the highway I really do enjoy the cruise, climate control, sound deadening, sun roof, etc.

Kepani, forgot to mention you in my "thanks" from earlier... your advice has been helpful more than once!

 

better treat that baby right!

and nice bimmer btw bro

 

Hey I know this kid! LOL Trust me it is going to a good home and I know that Camaron will take good care of the car. Glad to see another R even Black come to KC

 

Good luck and see you around on H-t.

Rob, sorry to say, but the 2.5 isnt lack luster. It might not have the power of the 3.0 but a very nice platyform and nice and smooth car. I had a 325IS before my ITr and loved it.

Matter of fact Im working numbers on a 2000 Red 328CI as we speak.

 

I have been the in a 325 and thought it was a decent powered DD, But just that.

If you haven't noticed... I hate those Nazijigsawpuzzels

 

Yea they are a bitch to work on and they scare me , but I love them.
Those lackluster 3 series though make up the majority of BMW's sales believe it or not.
M3's are optimal, but IMO, not something I would want to DD , esp in the North East winters, and good luck finding them unbeat and without miles

 

WOW finally made it back home from AZ what a long drive!!!! but it was so fun with the R... i was so amazed on how it handled when i was in the AZ mountins!!! only hit vtec like 1 or 2 times .. wow WAY!!! big diff. for an ls haha...!!! still getting use the car Bobby u really took really good care of the car !!! i had a smile on my face the whole trip back some random guy next to the car did not belive it was a REAL itr ... i was like ok .... HAHA but anyway.... got to wash the car tomm! alot of bugs all over the car ... maybe killed 10,000 of them .. got alot of work to do! ill post some pic's up once i get the car cleaned and detailed

Bobby was one of the nices peolpe i have ever met ! we have talked on the phone for about 2 months now about this day happening .... i know he will miss the car and i will always keep in touch to tell you oh the car is doing!
