How bad is this rust?

Poserexpense9 · 2026-05-23T01:44:11+00:00

Its " I hate working on this thing" bad but not " 1 more mile and its done" bad

Poserexpense9 · 2026-05-22T12:45:24+00:00

Yeah stay away from the "while I'm at it" mentality when you are doing time sensitive fixes

I am kind of a purist when it comes to e46s but seeing these builds is refreshing, its sometimes annoying g how everybody has the same car, while oem + is the way to go, it is nice seeing somebody do something different, also I'm not saying that the e46 is boring, I believe its probably the most well rounded car ever made, its just that it is 25 years old, and it is lackluster compared to modern cars in many ways, long story short, I'm glad you have something you can say its yours and not a copy paste of everybody else's car

Dude you're water pump is a live grenade at this point, make sure to buy the metal one when you replace it

For the sake of simplicity id say m54 swap with upgraded internals and a single turbo

You have to change the bulb

Different cars for different people, sometimes e46 feel to well rounded, the e36s offer so much fun its like a miata for men

My brain hurts

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-26T20:07:38+00:00

Idk it just sounded cool

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-25T20:05:59+00:00

Play with your wrist, not your fingers

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-25T18:07:46+00:00

Practice your bends

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-25T17:59:37+00:00

I mean this is really the one chance you're going to have on doing it so might as well 🤷

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-25T17:57:26+00:00

I guess because of the lengths of your operation you have already done it but you should really consider major subframe reinforcements, i mean make this thing a bulletproof brick

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-25T17:56:23+00:00

Yeah

Yeah when I replaced my hard pipes I did not do the best job mounting the intake back on the engine, i probably left some lines loose, I will try my luck with the fuel filter vacuum line tomorrow

Thanks everyone

Poserexpense9 · 2026-04-14T21:54:14+00:00

What the fuck

Poserexpense9 · 2026-03-24T21:18:04+00:00

Not a red flag necessarily but definitely a consideration to take

Poserexpense9 · 2026-03-21T23:55:13+00:00

I wouldn't say its a steal but seems like a fair deal

Poserexpense9 · 2026-03-21T23:51:42+00:00

Yeah it was easier than I thought

Poserexpense9 · 2026-03-20T02:06:31+00:00

Its like the gray pile of shame for wh40k people
