I'd go 996 easily out of those. E92 looks good on the outside but has pretty much no balls compared to the other cars, M3 has a decent motor but looks like shit and every obnoxious little asian woman who scraped together $20k for an e46 320i will think that her BMW is better than the M3...

RS4 is good, but they don't look aesthetically good. TTS is an amazing car, i'd put it performance wise better than most non turbo 996's and on the track it feels like it can keep up with an M3, they just handle awesome. Too bad they look like a girls car still. 996 is a good all round car.

I'd go for this for the money....

Or a C63

I'd rather build something that would beat any of these expensive cars for a fraction of the cost but that's just me. This thread was for votes/opinions, I gave mine.

You can polish a turd but it's still a turd. To build up a car that would compete with the calibre of car we are talking about would probably cost a fair bit more than the 70-100k budget stated. Building something that is fast, reliable, comfortable and looks good is not easy especially if you're going to start with a sub 30k car.

Out of those 3 i'd have the C63 all the way, i saw one in person and god does it sound good. Its a Merc which means a nice interior and good ride comfort and with that AMG V8 you can blast down the road into the sunset :cool: and make all those people in clubby's and GT falcons feel stupid that their V8 are so inadequate.

I think you missed what the thread is about.... he can build a quick r32 gtr, but it is still in the dark ages, it's quick.... that is about it. You are not getting the comfort, the stability, the reliability, the drivability, higher insurance, defects galor, unable to use as a daily driver ect....

Anyone can build anything to be quick, but these prestige cars can do the speeds of a gtr and also come with heaps of added extras that you are not likely to be able to or be bothered to put in them. All comes down to what you want in a car, and if you are looking at Rs4's and 911's, frankly an r32 gtr is not what you would be after at all.

If you want something genuinely quick, then buy a bike, other than that you have no idea what speed is...

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
