ITT: people who drive badass daily drivers, haters need not apply. Post your rides and you plans...

I’m not sure if this is a troll post but do srt4s really need that much boost to only get to 260 hp? That’s crazy. Used to think these cars were the coolest fuckin things when I was a teenager btw, might pick one up as a beater now that they can be had for cheap

Lots of details, please

>newfags will respond legitimately until this becomes a real thread

Pentastar and phat tires

need better brakes and airflow tho

works. every. time.

Troll or not. As a previous SRT-4 owner, that car was fun as fuck. Also seeing the stupid faces of mustang owners as you walked them was always a plus.

It was always just a neon till they lose to it.

I miss the old days on this board.

It is a troll but in seriousness, srt-4s were underrated from the factory claiming 230 at the crank when in reality they dyno 230-240 whp bone stock

i stroke so hard to that 3.8 sc regal.

im not, i think its funny, because everyone is just shitposting and nobody even knows whats real

everything is funny.
everyone is shitposting.
there is nobody.
nothing is real.

these kids dont understand the joy of flying past sports cars in a badass waggon.
great build idea i hope you do it

the point of the thing is to be practical and fun, so the mods will hit both camps.
one big downside is horsepower per dollar on this engine is very poor. that supercharger puts you up to 400whp, which is great, but it's $6000, oof.

His name is actually Hung Cock, and he thinks he's the man

I fucking wish i could find the picture he put up for his birthday once, it was a tiny little cake that looked like a yellow squished vw beetle, which was supposed to be the dodge, and a huge banner on the wall that said "EMMI BOSS"

>pic very related

God i hate asians, is every dodge neon owner this retarded?

>this is what 500hp in a fwd car looks like

post more
please

He also bought the most raped 540i in all of Iceland, constantly broke down, then he put a video of the car running on a lift with the most horrible fucking engine knocking sound you've ever heard, and people were telling him that the rod bearings were fucked and he should shut it off ASAP, he just replied "no its ok wheel bearings are all new" and continued driving the thing until it completely shit the bed

i'm trying to find the picture of him with the dodge neon cake, it's the funniest thing in the entire fucking universe, but i think he took it down

this guy is like the laughing stock of everyone that knows who he is, and somehow still thinks he's the man

He's taken the cake picture down it seems

Guy's fucking hilarious though, he was bragging once about how some guy stole 300g of weed from him, so he jumped onto his car with a baseball bat, and then 5 cop cars came and arrested him

Steven Hawking could probably arrest him on his own, guy is basically midget sized with legs the thickness of forearms

probably the ugliest fuckboy i've seen this year

Plate relocation kills your sleeper status

It's mounted where the tow eye goes. The state requires both plates on the car, but I don't want to drill holes in the bumper.

I don't get this logic, why do people not want to drill holes in the bumper if those holes will for the entire lifetime of the car, be covered by the license plate?

Might as well not wanna mount it where the tow eye goes, because you don't want to remove the tab that covers it..?

Because if you sell the car, and it goes to an owner who doesn't need front plates, then it detracts from the value of the car. Removing the removable tow eye cover is a better option since it can be replaced.
Plus, the crummy metal brackets that hold the front plate rust over time, causing discoloration to the paint on the bumper.

Ah ok, in ameriland i supposed it makes sense, but here in iceland, where every car needs plates on both sides, i've still heard people say that, even though it will never go to an owner that wont require front plates

>>bad ass daily drivers
>>Drives a neon...

Honestly sounds like a Chad

So a chad is the laughing stock of a whole generation of people in a whole city without knowing it?

>with scoops
Not a bimmerfag, pics

I don’t what it is, but I low-key cringe every time I see your car posted and I own an e82 myself. Like honestly, I’m thinking about selling my n54 next year just so I don’t inevitibly become an autistic fanboi. The n54 community as a whole is an embarrassment

Considering traded it for a Jeep but I know those faggots can be just as bad if not worst. What do, it’s like you can’t escape autism?

Don't get a jeep unless you want the death stare for not waving back

It is a pair of metal 'scoops' which sit just inside the grill to force air into the intake. See pic.

>cringe
Why is that?
I do agree, the N54 people are autistic af, but not nearly as bad as the circlejerk cult-following the E46 M3 has. It's a good little car; I got it for myself, not to race fools on the highway.

As you can see, I am not out to impress.

>Why is that?
It’s probably the color to be honest

>E46 M3
Oh God those faggots take it to another level. Motherfuckers worship that outdated heap

Don’t get me wrong, your car is nice and all, it’s just not for me

>The color
I can see that; in high-light it looks closer to the color of an early 2000s Camry. When its slightly cloudy, or night time/dim light, it's silver.
Some people say it looks like it has a fat belly or something, but that's always the M3-fags who say it, so I'm not sure what they even mean by it.

May or may not go FI. Haven't decided yet.

oh right i keep forgetting about the b46
what's the whp gain from that?
also, strongly recommend a manual swap. it's a lot of coding and electrics but they're a big guide on bimmerforums by some dude who did it well

>wasting all of this money to have a mediocre car
I'll never understand why people do this.
If you want a faster car, just buy a faster car. At least it will retain its reliability, unlike some hodgepodge of mismatched parts and pieces making the car do something it wasn't designed for.

>what's the whp gain from that?
From 290 of the B44 to 342 ('02 B44 to '02 B46)

>strongly recommend a manual swap
No. If I wanted a manual I'd do a full S62 swap. Instead I get Aplina's "paddle" shifters.

>making the car do something it wasn't designed for.

Are you retarded?

Good.

Also, the car was designed this way from the factory. It's called the Alpina B10.

I just can't get one in the US.

woah, a solid 50, fucking niceu
the auto trans is not good, even with alternate coding. The paddles feel nice but it won't come close to dsg performance and isn't anywhere near as fun as the getrag 6 speed

>the car was designed this way from the factory. It's called the Alpina B10.
>I just can't get one in the US

So, it was NOT designed as an Alpina B10, and you are doing exactly what I described.
>B-b-b-but
No. If it was designed as an Aplina B10 it would say "Alpina B10" on the vehicle tag and you wouldn't have to do a bunch of shit to make it a B10.

You get a naturally aspirated bimmer and ignore the fags

>natural aspiration
No.
That's worse than turbo-tisms.
>muh naturally aspirated engine
>I know it's worse than forced induction, but...
>MUH NATURAL ASPIRATION

>Factory engine
>Factory hardware and software
>Factory chassis
>Fully modular
>Different combos available in different countries
>NOT designed
You're retarded.

All Alpina's start as off the rack BMW's.

How is it worse if it’s a million times more reliable and sounds better? Okay if you want stick to your ricers and repair bills so you can play pretend race car driver in traffic.

Tuning N/A is an art.

>million times more reliable
Is that why all diesel trucks magically break down before 1 million miles and 12k hours of run time?
Turbocharged engines are not inherently less reliable; you're just an idiot that thinks so to justify "muh natural aspiration".

>sounds better
Nah, hearing the whistling of a turbocharger or the whine of a supercharger is supreme. Especially when you hear it dump the excess pressure, "woosh".

You think forced induction isn't? It is more forgiving in the sense that you are starting at higher power to begin with, but forced induction is less forgiving to shitty tunes. You are looking at something that is forcefully 'increasing' the compression of the engine which requires special fuel and timing to avoid detonation. However, tune it right and you easily go beyond 800+hp. Why do you think hypercars are forced induction? Because they can squeeze every last drop of power out of the engine.

72 rustang
as 4 plans im probably gonna, get the front suspension replaced sumtime this year. MAYBE. it hasnt killed me........... yet

>as for plans...
You mean:
-Higher lift with larger tires
-Side exhaust taller than the car
-Big fucking blower
-Sharp pieces of jagged metal welded onto the front, sides, and rear
-Weapons are optional, like flamethrowers or autocannons

oh man a super charger
yeah like i could afford that

living the dream

You’re fucking retarded dude
>muh diesel trucks
Lmao, we’re talking about cars here. N52 will run forever meanwhile the N54 has innumerable problems and literally every N54 owner will admit that, fucking dumb cunt.
>whistle of the turbocharger
Meanwhile exhaust note is almost gone compared to NA. Nope, it’s still shit.

i am saving for this as we speak. the gt4 bumper is so fucking nice.

that FUCKING SMILE
just fucking TAUNTING YOU

>a turbocharged engine isn’t inherently less reliable than an equivalent naturally aspirated engine

>N54 has innumerable problems
Oh, so two problems are innumerable?
Wastegate rattle and HPFP failure are not "innumerable". In fact, its just two. Both of which had extended warranties.

>exhaust notes
>sounds
Subjective garbage. Turbochargers don't magically make the exhaust sounds disappear.
>woah did you hear that car???
>no way bro, it had a turbo on it.

This isn't the 1980s anymore. Turbocharger technology has vastly improved. Turbocharged and non-trubocharged, modern engines, won't see any differences in maintenance except more frequent oil changes (and sparkplugs) with turbocharged engines. The engine has to be designed to be forced induction; if it's not, sure it will decrease longevity. However, if it is, then it will last the same as a naturally aspirated engine.

>ur retarded
>hurr durr
I like all the evidence people are providing against forced induction engines here.

Turbocharger master race.

>e82
>HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE

He has an E82.
The car the pulled up next to him was a hardtop convertible 335i.
>reading comprehension

There is nothing I love more than sleepers. Without a doubt the best thing about my old PT cruiser.

>0-60 in 7 seconds
>Sleeper
Come on, a Chevy Tahoe can do 0-60 in 7 seconds and it weighs over 5500lbs.

To me, a reliable car means it will work with less maintenance. As in the driver is relying on the car to run, the car is not relying on the driver to run. Without this metric, any car would be considered reliable as long as you did preventative maintenance every 100 miles, but that is very impractical. Also a machine with more moving parts than a machine that does the same job with less moving parts is inherently and statistically less reliable. Sorry. Not even hating on turbos tho, i DD a tuned ms3

You can hardly call "use full-synthetic and change your oil every 10-15K miles" excessive maintenance. The point is, just because an engine is turbocharged does not mean it will be less reliable than NA engines. The example was diesel engines, because gasoline engines are not run nearly has heavy/long as diesels; the two engines are very similar, except diesels have a much higher compression ratio and all diesels are turbocharged. These engines will run up to 1 million miles/12k hours and beyond.

The fact of the matter is all you do is change the oil at a regular interval, keep the air filter clean, and change the plugs every so often, and its the same as an NA engine. And this maintenance is literally the same as an NA engine because, hello current year, we have advanced lubricants, materials, and manufacturing, so forced induction engines are now the norm.

Why isn't the picture related? Why would anyone even take a picture of that broke ass POS.

>most reliable srt4 in the area
>During winter I'm throwing a 50trim turbo on it and going for 800hp/970tq on 40psi
Hahaha, most reliable not for long.
Bye bye, engine.
The 16Vampire Golf, pushing 1233hp @ 63psi needed some serious reinforcement to withstand that kind of horsepower/pressure; and it's using a diesel block.
Your crummy little engine will literally blow itself to pieces if you try and run 40psi through it for any extended period of time.
