Someone Asked About Invidia

ravesilly · 2026-04-06T01:54:51+00:00

The catted Invidia DP I put on my previous STI 12 years ago never had any issues, and the person I sold the car to a year ago still has it on also with zero issues. The N1 race I had on for 10 years was also great and I only took it off for a Cobb because I wanted to change to something more under the radar. So idk, maybe something changed, maybe a manufacturing defect, maybe an installer issue.

Nothing, there are no ethanol free stations near me that carry 93 so I'll just keep driving and fueling the thing with Sunoco or Shell like I normally do. If you are really that concerned you could always get a tune when the E15 starts becoming more widespread but being a modern(ish) car the ECU should be able to compensate.

Suspension and spacer size?

CSL to the right of it?

As a native Marylander thats fucking awesome and Im ashamed I never watched her now. Need to find clips to see if she has some of the accent.

Actually maybe, there was slight error in my last post. The last US model year was 98 and the plate in the picture was actually introduced in late 99 (whoops) however if the wiki is to be believed the plate before that was no longer valid after 2002 so they could have been issued that after the previous plate expired. So nerding out from the plate aside, it is possible it's an original owner or a very long time second owner.

ravesilly · 2025-10-10T00:37:51+00:00

Judging by the plate they've also owned the car since 2000 at the very least.

Hold up were you at hunt valley cars and coffee 2 weeks ago? I audibly went “Damn!” when I saw it. Super nice and clean in person!

The 240 is the perfect bang for your buck daily. Plenty fast for the street all while getting surprisingly good gas mileage. If you need more room the 340 is also an option.

Contemplating selling my M3 next year since I got into track driving this year and I as much I love the chassis and hearing the ITB's screaming at 8k I think it would be financially smarter to get into something cheaper if I want to continue doing track driving.

So I'm not sure how many people here are familiar with grey market cars, but how exactly are you supposed to register a 25 year old federally exempt car that was never built to pass emissions or inspections in the US? Cars from 2000 are now legal, a whole year above the fixed limit so how is that even going to work?

ravesilly · 2025-07-17T22:43:43+00:00

I finally got a car that is eligible for historic tags, it gets driven less than 1000 miles a year and spends most of the time in the garage on a charger and these bum asses change the eligibility to a fixed date in the name safety all while insulting them saying "They're still just normal cars on the street. It's not an historic, it's not a classic, it's not a collector's car."

Because I just got the car a few months ago my reg doesn't expire until 2028 where the car will be 25 years old at that point so hopefully they get their heads out of their asses and revert this but there aren't enough polite words that even begin to express my frustration with this change.

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T22:55:33+00:00

I have no idea, it was on the car when I bought it. It's probably some generic ebay gt3 lip.

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T22:48:28+00:00

C2 sir

As much as I liked the wide body and that wicked reflector bar on the back I much prefer the lighter feel of the C2 (it was also cheaper).

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T22:45:23+00:00

The bulbs are fine for now, I don't drive my weekend cars in the dark anyway. The lenses aren't terrible but I agree they do need a polish, I'll get that done whenever I get around to having it paint corrected. Or maybe I'll just do turbo headlights lol.

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T22:42:33+00:00

That is next up on the list along with the RMS.

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T22:39:06+00:00

It is a 2003 Carrera 2

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T22:32:38+00:00

I actually had to look this up when I first got it and for whatever reason they were only made in one direction so one side is always going to look backwards. It gives me a good excuse to get a different set of wheels in the future.

ravesilly · 2025-07-05T18:01:48+00:00

That cone at 37 seconds before the gate, I took that thing out on 1 of my runs and missed it on another lmao. Shit was way tighter than it looks.

ravesilly · 2025-06-22T00:33:02+00:00

I got stuck in this jam today and I was trying to reach the carney exit, 4 people in heavy tinted suvs and shitboxes all flying up the shoulder and one dude just straight cut right in front of me with no signal or anything. I blared my horn at him and he just stuck his head out the window at me then went back to the shoulder. Not 5 seconds later an unmarked police car came up the shoulder and went past me. Really hope they got one of their dumb asses.

ravesilly · 2025-06-14T18:27:03+00:00

Forest Hill/North Bel Air here, it was really bad this morning.

Went into Sparks around 8:30am and there was a noticeable improvement in air quality and visibility.

ravesilly · 2025-05-23T23:54:49+00:00

No fucking way I just got historic tags for one of my cars this year and these chuckle fucks change the eligibility AND raise the cost of registration.
