Dream e46

This logic is the reason why the shittiest Skyline GTR is 20k now.

...

all my dreams are nightmares

Drive your boring car then. No one's stopping you.

Rocket bunny pandem kit
removed springs
welded struts for max static, coils are for pussies
Neochrome pointy lug nuts
3-piece wheels neochrome deep dish negative offset with stretch for maximum poke
Wisefab steering angle kit because drift missile
wisefab errything
grip royal pearl neochrome wheel
slammed static
Godfather air horn
full cage
American flag paint job, not a wrap
straight pipe bozosoku exhaust
this nigger kinda gets it

i find it kinda funny, i find it kinda sad...

the dreams in which i'm dying are the best i've ever had

5 prop turbos sticking out of the hood

New water pumps looks good on those. Replacing every bit of aging rubber too.

And of course, this

...

>two guys in the trunk so I could get sandwiched later

Not those kinds of dreams

I absolutely hate those wheels so much. Im not one to get triggered by other peoples shit. Especially aesthetic mods, but those wheels make me hate the entire car.

0/10. Would not bang.

Hey its got a big trunk so you're good to go if thats what you're into homo

twingo front end conversion

(plz shoop)

I will. I'm just saying that this impulse that people have to mod their cars for the sake of being a special snowflake doesn't make them special when so many people do it and more often than not makes the cars worse which is why the resale value of their cars fall while stock ones rise.

It's possible to mod a car well. If done properly it should be hard to tell that it was modded at all.

>more often than not makes the cars worse which is why the resale value of their cars fall while stock ones rise.
This is why non retards mod salvage title cars.

Buy a nice theft salvage cheap, and go crazy on it. It is never going to appreciate.

that was just the only E46 pic I had on my pc so I used it

yall niggas need to learn to deal with hearts

/k/ logic.
>m-muh Mosin prices!

OLD SHIT GETS SCARCE
DEAL WITH IT
You don't buy a GTR to keep it stock. You buy it to actually make the best use of the engine and drivetrain as possible. Keeping shit stock is for collectibles and new cars. The GTR is for racing. Not babying.

>go on modding thread
>preach about keeping stock
literally the Veeky Forums equivalent of going into a church and calling everyone there sheep

fuck off boomer this is a car enthusiast board

Also titanium bolts. Proper oil catch can/air oil separator that dumps air back into the intake. Oil cooler, dry sump conversion if you track the car, Ohlins DFVs. Plenty of shit to do if you want to mod your car.

nice way to waste money for nothing

specially when were talking about aesthetics

>Proper oil catch can/air oil separator that dumps air back into the intake
Yeah, feels good not getting that nasty gunk into the intake. Got one from radium engineering after cleaning the intake when I bought my m3.

>gtr's are for racing
The post said skylines which includes far more than your choice of circlejerk.
If you think they're made for racing you should see how they don't compare at all to actual modern racecars.
Face it mate, they literally are collectibles at this point.

Only in leafland and the rest of the world, wait till they become 25 years old and we'll see what happens

No, it's the Veeky Forums equivalent of going into someone's house and telling them it might not be a good idea to knock down that wall then watch when they get mad because there was a pipe running through it.

>you have to mod your car to be a real enthusiast
What's the logic behind that?

Oh, I am dealing with it. I already have plenty of milsurp from before prices spiked.

If you guys want to ruin your shit I sincerely don't care. If anything you should so I can profit more on the rise in value from people destroying their shit because they couldn't leave well enough alone.

People buy shit like shitty aftermarket rims, half-assed shit lowering springs, some shittily designed straight-pipe exhaust, awful intake that introduces a bunch of noise to their MAF, toss on a massive turbo that starts making boost at 2000 RPM below redline, an undriveable clutch, a hacksaw body kit that fits like asshole and does nothing but make your car slower, and more. If people want to do that, more power to them. But if you're literally asking for my fucking opinion, don't be surprised when I take a shit on it for making the car worse.

>maybe we should choose mods carefully
>WHY DO YOU HATE MODDING REEEEEEEEE

anyone who keeps their car stock isnt actually an enthusiast

no better than buying a car as an appliance

yeah bruh

catch cans and oil coolers epic!

Timmy senior who owns a stock ford model T is more of an enthusiast than the entire board tho.
What's up with that?

Especially custom Monster energy catch cans

no hes not he just has a relic

once he turns it into a T-Bucket he can say hes an enthusiast

Problem is Timmy senior has a rodded model T

Nice stock car for your area of enthusiasm

Sorry, got a better one already

>has a rodded one
>but it's stock
???

>anyone who keeps their car stock isnt actually an enthusiast

>it's another alphonse shitposting episode

That image explains so much

Not an argument.

>>but it's stock
Haha, wat? And you call yourself an enthusiast?
Yep

Im getting tired of people calling me Alphonse

>you call yourself
No, but my friends do.
Not an argument btw.

can of gas and a match. fucking hate bmws

Okay sorry Corey calm down.

Your friends are just normalfags, what do they know? You could be lying about having friends anyway.

Not an argument.

>"My normie friends call me an entusiast because I can do basic car maintenance!"
Dying rn

Ah yes I forgot that removing seized and rusted bolts is the best part of working on a car, as is removing 10 years of PCV-induced carbon in the intake.

Other suggested mods:

Silicone hose kits
Mishimoto Alu radiator
Mishimoto Alu fan kit
Dry carbon trunk, CSL style
Dry carbon center console, CSL style
Dry carbon roof
Dry carbon rear splitter, CSL style
Dry carbon front lip spoiler, CSL style

If you can't tell, most of these mods are going to be dry carbon pieces based on the M3 CSL.

>projecting yourself onto me
Not an argument.

at least thats the first time Ive been called that

for what

because you can change your oil

Because you guys don't have an argument.

For a minute we were going to have a serious thread and then I realized this is Veeky Forums and all we can have is GTR/Z06/ecoboost shitposting.

Pic related. Its every time you say "Not an argument"

Not an argument.

neither do you

Yeah but it's a pathetic statement since anyone can be an enthusiast if they feel like they're making an effort into the hobby like the stance cunts on youtube or a rich boomer that doesn't know shit about the mechanical things about cars but collects them or especially the autist that does maintenance on his stock shtibox because he loves it

I don't need to, you're the ones attempting to disprove my statement.
An effective counterargument requires an argument to counter no?

>anybody can be an enthusiast if they like cars
There you go, you figured it out.
Stop pretending your circlejerk is better than their circlejerk. We've got a dying hobby as is.

its not an argument because youve made no real point

>lol I am an enthusiast

you didnt present any evidence to prove to us that you are

we have every right to say you arent until you prove to us otherwise

>go on modding thread
>"EVERYONE SHOULD KEEP EVERYTHING STOCK LIKE MY PLASTIC SHITBOX"
>"WHY AM I GETTING ATTACKED"

ur dumb

Basic car maintenance isn't a hobby, but buying a new one because you cant maintain your old one is. Its like saying taking medicine is your hobby as opposed to going to the hospital every time you feel sick.

not really electric cars will become a thing, there will be people enthusiastic about them but definitely the gear head will die

I like my car. if I need aftermarket parts to be a real enthusiast I guess I can get around to installing the new thermostat.
>modding thread
>it's literally 90% bodykit discussion
Much wow

100% sure you are nocar

Basically /g/entlemen will replace Veeky Forumstists

liking your car doesnt make you an enthusiast

if that was the case then my sister who cant id a single part would be one

>What aesthetic mods would you put on an e46?

gee I wonder why its mostly bodykits

yeah naww
t. busrider

>weeb has a car but you don't
kek

So what makes you an enthusiast my dear Corey?
>he doesn't like the aesthetics of a well kept engine bay

I have an E36 too except mine is an M, bitch.

>implying electric cars will be popular in our lifetime
Sorry user, but I'll believe it when I see it

>it's literally 90% bodykit discussion
OP was "aesthetic mods". If posters want to bring up body kits that fits the thread. Also it was 90% "Not an argument".
>Much wow
dead meme

I'm sorry you lads couldn't come up with an actual argument.

inb4 I have no proof

Just because you can slap an M badge on a car you don't own means it's yours

modifying a car with real mods and not shit like catch cans lmao

sorry if you cant afford something simple like an exhaust but come on

you arent an enthusiast for simply liking a car

>liking a car
But what if I like a lot of cars?
>modding my integra
I bought it because it was a low mileage gsr that was unmodified, unriced, and hadn't had the engine ripped out to be dropped into a civic.
After all that work to find that specific thing why in the fuck would I turn around and mod it?

M-Paket 2, style 44 rims

>But what if I like a lot of cars?

that still doesnt make you an enthusiast

>After all that work to find that specific thing why in the fuck would I turn around and mod it?

why would you buy a shitbox that has no redeemable features outside of its modability then keep it stock

you are "grandma needs a car" tier

Actually I took the M badge off, can't change the WBS vin though. Have fun with your WBA.

What proof would you like?

Because it has outstanding handling qualities and I enjoy how it feels like the car holds my hand around turns and let's me guide it when I want to

Normies can like a lot of cars, too.

>why in the fuck would I turn around and mod it
Because then it is a puzzle of yours

>Actually I took the M badge off
nice damage control, pics with a mc cafe on the roof

>puzzle of mine
Wut
And what if I keep it stock because I believe you should have a daily first and buy a project later because walking to work isn't fun?

mc cafe on top of the S50 would be proper

ok but it can be better

its an old shitbox its not that great

there are plenty of small things you can do thats going to take it off the road for more than an afternoon

Of course it's just an old shitbox.
But it's mine and I love it. Fuck you.

And yeah, plenty of boltons I can put on it to get a minor power boost and make it louder that really won't take long. But that's just my general rule.
I deliver pizzas during the day and drive 2 hours when I get off to my next job and I really cannot be assed to get stranded because of my own shitty work. I'd rather buy another sub-10k car and fuck with that and drive the Integra

Full 316i body-conversion
Michelin Energy Saver+ on staggered Style-46 set

>catch cans are not a real mod
I guess anything that doesn't require an ECU retune is also not a real mod amirite guys?

yeah

but youre not an enthusiast

youre just some poor kid that bought an old shitbox

If you are going to get a project car use it as a project. The e46, aka the subject of this thread, and most Nissans are project cars. If you need a daily get a car that cant be used as a project.

Also not all projects will take it off the road for all day.

>ecu tune

no one ever mentions those when it comes to sick mawds which is weak for the bench racer mind
