S14 n Tsx

great pics

godfather2

haha, would've been better off if i had the energy to wash/wax myself. as for the bimmer, it's my job to mod it up. going to doing basic bolt ons i/h/e/cat, as well as new ecu and upgraded brakes. aesthetically, it'll remain stock.

Is it me or does your front bumper need some Mother's Clay bar?
(From your first picture)

godfather2

^ it needs to be repainted because of all the damn love bugs in fl and then it needs clear bra. i usually do a good job of detailing it, but like i said before, i was tired.

Mugen wing looks tight... just outta curiosity, does the Mugen label come attached, or do you put it on yourself?

clee109

I think I was blinded by the M3 =)

godfather2

it comes with the installation kit, but you do have to mount it yourself (simple decal)

lilasiian8

You have to repaint it because of bugs?! Do the guts eat through the paint or something? I didn't know bugs were that tough! Here, in LA, I get bugs.. but not a lot.. and what's left of bugs are usually just blood on your bumper (maybe they're mosquitoes...). Everything else looks good.

*I wasn't trying to criticize you or anything on my first post.

I'll take the M3 Spank you very much.


What year is that M3?

TSX and M3 nice rides.. mugen wing looking good ..I like the lip spoiler on the M3 as well

godfather2

lilasaiin8, no worries - i respect most criticism from fellow enthusiasts. indeed, love bug season seems to get worse each year

undefined.tae

godfather2

godfather2

The M3 looks awesome. TSX looks good too, but fix those swirls!

I am dreading coming back up there from my summer vacation in south Florida. I even gave in an bought an ugly ass front mask for mine

godfather2

driving down i 75 n and the truck in front of me had a blowout! about 1/3 of a shard of tire smacked my front bumper and did some damage, including the plate bracket. i've already addressed dings and scratches around the car. now saving up to repaint the entire bumper.

godfather2

good decision

Inuit_Unit

Very nice! Black on black ftw!

kitbkk

looking good man. wat rear rotors are they?

TSX420J

Wow cant believe the TSX looks so good next to the M3. Actually I like the TSX lines better. I'm not being biased either. Maybe because yours looks so good.

godfather2

rotora drilled/slotted

godfather2

thanks for all the comments everyone

Although I've always loved the E46 M3, I'd have to admit that it looks dated now. I think the exterior has aged well, but the interior really reminds you that the car hasn't been in production for a few years now. It always cracks me up when a dealer wants $50k for a CPO M3.

In regards to the picture above, I can't believe the difference the optional 19's make. The 18's look like they have too much sidewall to me.

godfather2

i was thinking the same thing. the e46 does seem to be a bit dated now, but damn that thing is still a beast. beat a g35 coupe (manual) on sat night and got ousted by an Audi R8 (though he was playing with me) while driving the bimmer!

godfather2

^ the m3 has a smg (sequential manual gearbox) transmission

tsX818

i feel as though the e46 will always be a classic when it comes down to 10-20 years down the line.. people will still find the e46s as a great design! sort of like our TSX's!

godfather2

indeed
