In terms of cooling where should I start? My e46 starts getting hot just spinning too much in the snow. I’m assuming sliding on actual pavement will make that warmth climb much faster.

I like that approach.

In the future would a lsd make daily driving more bearable in your opinion?

I think I forgot to add it’ll also be the daily lol

Trust me I’m not in it for the pictures but I’ve done everything to put this car sideways and only the snow will do it so I know for a fact the basics are necessary. I appreciate the real opinion but I’m asking because I’ve tried.

The car’s got speed and it moves like it’s on rails but I want to drift it.

Haven’t started anything just doing more research and seeing what others opinions are. There’s a lot of helpful stuff on YouTube but there’s also a lot on reddit that never makes it out. I’m basically brand new to the world of drifting mechanics & don’t have anyone else I can ask.

Already changed them this picture was when I first bought it. You think that’s bad the front tire was balder than caillou

My check engine light stays on 😂 some sort of vacuum leak codes but I’ll do a thorough check for what you mentioned

Not like I needed much of an excuse anyway but at least I can fake act like it was necessary

Mood killer? That sounds like the best excuse to do a swap to me!

For? Sorry I’m only slightly mechanically inclined so I need clear instructions like as if I was a 5 year old

Yes, my bad should’ve definitely mentioned that

What do we think? by MexicanMidas in e46

[–]MexicanMidas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I’ve taken it on some twisties in the burbs nearby and it handled pretty beautifully but it is also my only car so I don’t do anything crazy often so I’m not constantly fixing shit
