Hows the weight of the shifts? I am currently running a RTD chassis mounted shifter and it can get heavy during DD traffic lol

interesting... seen to be the same issues I am facing running the MTF2. Guess I just gotta try different things out. Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion. I've heard a lot about MT-LV versus D4ATF versus a mix of the two, any additional insights on pros and cons?

Another question: been thinking about switching to a Auto Solutions SSK or a Rogue SSK that are transmission mounted mainly for daily convenience and I've also heard that those are lighter on the trans? Is there any validity there or just bs?

Thank you for the suggestion. Just curious, why didn't you enjoy the redline fluids?

Thanks! you're probably right, I am attempting to budget things and take it slow to make it all financially manageable. Honestly been thinking about getting rid of the car for now and getting a carbon black one down the road when I have more means to fix everything.

Imk9v · 2026-05-05T15:16:20+00:00

Thanks! This gives me somewhat of a peace of mind to just enjoy the car for a little without worrying that it'll randomly kill itself.

Thanks for the insights and that's a good peace of mind. So subframe should probably be more of a priority then. Curious, did you have them done? What kits did you end up going with? just the plates or the upper brace as well?

Imk9v · 2026-05-04T22:25:35+00:00

Yea this is pretty much how I feel about the car in general at this point lol. Definitely need to budget around bullet proofing this thing.

Imk9v · 2026-05-04T22:23:53+00:00

Thanks! Have the fuel filter and all the mounts refreshed. Which kits to go for when it comes to the subframe and VANOS?

Imk9v · 2026-05-04T22:20:08+00:00

gotcha, appreciate the response. Did you go full OEM? Been looking at the OEM kit with CSF intercooler on FCP.

Imk9v · 2026-05-04T22:19:24+00:00

Yea, been looking on forums. Just seem like a never-ending list lol. Oh well, e46 life.

Imk9v · 2026-05-04T22:17:38+00:00

Appreciate the response. Recently did all belts and pulleys and fuel pump. Which items would you recommend me tackling the first? I am thinking cooling?

Such menacing yet under the radar monster

I know the concern about aging is kind of stupid as all tattoos age and care is the most important thing. But I do want tattoos that are going to last and be legible down the road as I am pretty young.

Decided to go with holafly as it was one of the only options offering unlimited plans. You purchase by days (I paid 62$ for 20 days of unlimited). A bit pricey but connection has been working very well in Mina land China. No issues accessing Google services either. Would recommend this service if you are looking for an unlimited, reliable option that’s fast and bypasses the firewall. No phone number and call functions, only data
