Hey guys whats up? I'm Alek. My dad and I recently picked up a 2013 Ralliart and I have to say its an epic car. Never been much of a JDM guy having owned 6 Bimmers so far at 18. This car has made me rethink a lot as its hands down one of my favorite cars to drive ever.
Heres some photos

Mods are yet to come as the car just hit 1k miles. So far it only has a K&N drop in filter.

Anyway, we are very happy and proud to own a Ralliart and enjoy driving it.

The SST transmission is amazing, the shifts are super quick and very crisp. The motor sounds great but the exhaust is so quiet, We are looking into fixing that issue with a turbo back system from Ultimate racing

And heres the rest of the stable.
My pride and joy project 1998 750iL 5.4L V12

Not many mods on her, mainly just restoration stuff I have done including a full respray, 18" wheels from a newer 750Li and all security windows replaced which was a pain to say the least.
Oh yea, also its straight piped

My Daily and future track build:
1997 328is 211k miles 5 speed manual

Got Bored and put stripes on it one day to piss of a friend of mine.

It has a stage 3 clutch, rebuilt head and some horrible Ebay exhaust from the previous owner.

Welcome, and that's awesome that you guys love your RA as much as I do...

That cosmic blue is badass

I was skeptical about the SST as well since all of my previous cars were traditional manual transmissions, but you can't beat the speed of the SST...

That's turbo back is gonna sound awesome, post up a video after you install it

I'll admitt that is one of the main reasons I would trade my Ralliart in - It would be for a Cosmic Blue Evo MR. No GSR that Nitendo shifter and no left foot slap shifter on the console have grown on me.
