haha yea i guess you can say it like that. I love aggressive but classy cars. Cars that were something stock. A slammed scion tc with stuff toys, low&slow stickers, messup up fenders, etc. is just pushing it. Low&Slow? Your car was slow even before you lowered lol.

Thanks!
Thanks man
Yea, it was more aggressive before. I still plan on getting another set of wheels, maybe. Just gotta make sure i take it slow.
make some 19x11 or 18x11 csl reps and i'll buy a set and rock it for you I swear i'll make those wheels look amazing haha. But thanks
lol thanks anyway

 

Im going to change the way I mod my car from now on. No more keeping it subtle,...12" wide wheels, loud exhaust, dark tints, and csl parts coming soon. For now

Pulled fenders, +5mm spacers, lower

 

I like where this is going. Keep it up man, always looks fresh.

 

you gotta do this while you can...until you can't...

 

I try man
Yea man, sooner or later im going to be one of these old farts telling younger guys how low and unfunctional there cars are lol.

 

And I was actually really close to selling the car last week, had to back out last minute due to last minute changes. Was gonna upgrade to one of these



Should have one of these in two weeks


And these after

 

Where did the sudden inspiration come from?

 

well me being in the military, I have to deal with copy cat unoriginal people on a daily basis. When I bought my car just a year ago, there were only 2 maybe 3 of us with E46 m3. Now there's a whopping 10+ e46 m3 in base. And it's funny how 5 of them park around my car in the same parking lot Same color and wheels too

Don't get me started with when I had my Z on base half the reason i got rid of it

 

Should be interesting to see that!

 

bout time been waiting to see you go in, know itll be sick and that exhaust sounds sick, ntw way sold my z too bro.

 

I've been patiently waiting for this moment. Car looks mean as hell. Can't wait to see the progress.

Love the OEM wheels though they look great.

 

Ah damn man that sucks. I can't stand that sht. It happened a bit with S2ks in my area.

 

make sure you keep your oem parts. you'll be back to being subtle. you had your car for about a year now. sounds about the right time for the mod bug to bite your bored ***.

 

Thanks, it's nothing that hasn't been done before. But it's the little things that will matter most.

Thanks, I love that exhaust. The tips look perfect and the sound as well

lol sorry it took so long. and thanks!

yep, hate it. I can't blame people to buy used e46 m3's since a lot of them are affordable now. But knowing that these kids didn't even have this car in there dream list untill they saw a lowered one with shiny aggressive stock wheels rolling past them with me in it I kinda wish their vanos blow up or maybe their subframes tear to pieces lol. Just bcs they can buy the car doesnt mean they can afford to maintain

Last year it was 350z/s2k. This year it's e46 m3

*****, your talking to the person that told you to never sell oem parts. And it's not the mod bug, trust me. I rarely think about this car at all with everything going on.

 

What merc is that? Glad to see you're going with a few changes, car will look and sound even better soon. Not that it doesn't look good now

 

SL55

about time you're modding it! next month i expect full blown CF kit, diffuser, and a huge gt wing.

send it on over to our local HPF and Chris will take care of you

 

UPDATE: Milltek Exhaust

Milltek has always been my #1 muffler choice from day1 for many reasons.
1. Highly respected exhaust brand
2. Very rare (I never see these in the fs section, reason i stayed stock for so long. And these cost way too much to even consider buying new)
3. Best looking exhaust (They started it all! Only reason i looked into the SGT and Rouge was bcs of how close their tips look like the milltek. Plus the tips do not stick out too much like most aftermarket mufflers, perfect for anyone that is not a fan of the csl diffuser like myself and would rather run factory diffuser)
4. Aggressive but Mild tone (not much louder than stock, minimal if any drone, sounds amazing!)
5. Weight reduction (not the lightest, but a good 15lbs off stock)

Pics of the exhaust



If you never heard it (not mine)

Also got 245/35/19 all around, so true square setup as of now. Raised my car in the process

25mm spacers rear


Put on some CF CSL splitters


Went a little lower, replaced 25mm to 20mm spacers, and removed the splitters



To do list
1. CSL trunk
2. Euro front bumper
3. New paint job
4. Evolve tune (already got the AA tune, but i need the catless ready option)
5. BBK

 

Not a fan of tint?

 

I actually got the windows tinted last week. 20% all around + 40% windshield. Removed it the next day, too dark and didn't look right. Plus it hid my beautiful cinnamon interior from the public eyes lol. I did keep the 40% windshield tho May do 40% all around soon

 

i told your *** to get the csl trunk. it will look good. a lot of people might have it but most of their cars look like crap. lol
