Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Maybe original Charger?

Maybe.. But I think it would look strange with giant dashes turning on: - - - instead of how the Mustang has vertical lights: l l l.

I'll probably just stick to OEM. But will look around what's out there, as well. And changing both of them should only take about an hour, which is nice :)

Should* but probably won't because of god knows why. :P

God damn that's a sexy looking Ferrari. Makes more power and won't blow up either.

Probably makes an astonishingly low amount of horse power. But lots, and lots of torque.

I'm pretty sure it still makes a lot more power than a Ferrari does.

Whenever I decide to replace the springs, then I am likely to take a bunch of pictures along the way. Cause hnnng. And documentation reasons.

I would have replaced the shocks while I was already having the car in the air and everything. But changing them on an E46 can be a bit of a hassle... depending on how destructive you want to be...

At least I've got all the space in the world to work on those.

I would have to move the trunk 'carpet', and remove a bunch of electronics and plastic. All in order to reach the rear top mounts for the shocks.

 

Now, you CAN get around the part of having to remove the electronics and plastic... by simply cutting a hole/breaking off the plastic so that you can get to the bolt/nut... Which I probably will do if I ever have to replace my shocks.
