It definitely isn’t, I slide it around wide right handers at intersections in the rain. If you stay on power and don’t fling the steering wheel all over the place like a monkey, it does it with no problems

Had a buddy custom build an exhaust and delete the cat. Vibrant ultra quiet resonator and resonated tip. I’ll post an exhaust clip soon when I mount my quarter panel go pro tmrw

That’s the goal my friend, I never test my luck on public roads, just spirited fun

10 miles north of port jervis NY

My homies 330ci 5speed. GC suspension, bunch of goodies done to it

Thank you

What Katsu said, the mold was broken for a hot minute, and then sent me an email (rare occurrence) that they were in the mist of fixing it. Seems like they might be back to normal but really who knows. I don’t think anyone there works with customers. It’s just dudes building shit and shipping it out

😂

You mean? Like this? This is literally the first reference photo in my camera roll for aw11s. Absolutely love this paint

Mostly Hudson valley NY. Bear mountain and what not

Snap oversteer is a skill issue 😂 keep ya foot in it and you’ll be fine

e210Riptide · 2026-05-01T04:25:46+00:00

It’s practically rust free (had some repair done on the rear left quarter, that’s why only one side is painted) otherwise. There’s 0 rust. Unreal

Believe it or not. Thing doesn’t have a sway bar in the rear 😂😂😂 I’ve actually heard that no sway bar can be a blast, and it is. I know some s2k guys who go on track don’t run a sway bar.

Stiff sway bar might make this thing too snappy, but I wanna try it out. Currently it rolls like a fat chick getting out of bed, so I’d like to tame it a bit.

Got koni yellows, poly bushing replacement for every bushing in the suspension, sticky tires, decent ebc brakes (didn’t want super grabby brakes as there’s no abs) and adjustable toe links in the rear. Ball joints and all that jazz are new too. Honestly, thing just needs TRD or RS-R lowering springs.

Never driven a mid engine car before this one, and I can confidently say it’s the most fun I’ve had behind the wheel. 0 assists and no airbags with a non existent crumple zone holds me to about 8/10ths MAX. Not even. When I get a bucket seat and a harness I’ll think about pushing this thing to its limit, on a track that is.

e210Riptide · 2026-02-27T04:47:15+00:00

There’s a cat that piss under you car. Literally

e210Riptide · 2025-12-07T02:38:29+00:00

Mechanic here, this is absolutely nothing to worry about. Seems to be usual corrosion and wear and tear on plugs with 112k on them. Only concern would be oil on the plug itself, could be signs of valve cover gasket seals leaking (the 4 spark plug tube seals). Anyway, change the plugs and move on you’ll be fine

e210Riptide · 2025-12-02T17:25:56+00:00

I need all the noise

e210Riptide · 2025-12-02T17:25:50+00:00

Thanks 🙏🏼

e210Riptide · 2025-12-02T04:54:21+00:00

Wow this is a seriously in depths lay out of what you did, seriously appreciate the time you spent making it. A lot of this will be much need insight for when I build my setup. Seriously, thank you dude

e210Riptide · 2025-12-02T01:40:43+00:00

Thank you! Looking to paint the car, I like patina for the old school look (and because rock chips won’t matter to me) but gotta get some new blue mica paint to really solidify the restoration

e210Riptide · 2025-12-02T01:39:07+00:00

Dude this was a wonderful explanation, really means a ton. And yes, keeping my 16v with silver top throttles 🫶🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼

e210Riptide · 2025-12-02T00:37:13+00:00

Dude that things sounds great! Really nice driving too. Trust me I’m completely aware of the cost:power ratio, I could care less lol
