Drag racing season is upon us so I figured it would be a good time to start putting together a parts list of things to help you go faster that we are carrying. We will try to keep the pricing extremely low on these parts and, if you guys have any other suggestions, I will add more drag racing parts to our inventory as needed.

Quaife LSD-
-$950.00

Braille 15 lbs. battery- Over 1000 cold cranking amps (very little reserve capacity)
-$159.60

Braille 21 lbs. battery- Almost 1400 cranking amps (still low reserve capacity but 50% more than the 15lbs. battery)
-$178.60

We also carry different style mounts and battery charges, please feel free to ask me about any Braille products.

Lightweight drag racing seat- I am working on this mod now. I just made up a jig for the W204 floor so that I can make seat bases for the seats. You will get the seat and all you will have to do is remove the factory seat and bolt in the lightweight seat. It will save you a lot of time, trouble, money and aggravation by ordering it as a kit. This mod will save about 50lbs. If you do the seat and the battery you should drop around 1/10 and if you remove the passenger seat and the rear seat you should drop another 1/10. It would be nice to go from 11.1 to 10.90 for $700.00 total.
-estimated price $450.00-$550.00

Thank you Mike (Dodger63) for taking the time and money to do these mods and prove how well they work. Thanks to your investment I can put kits together and sell them to other MBWorld members. It's Mikes dedication to going faster that is helping make it easier for us to help others to follow in his path. If you are interested in any of these mods please feel free to get in touch with me. I will add more parts as we test them and see how well they work.

which battery would work for my clk550 in the summer time?

Staff@RPM

The top seller that we have is the 15lbs. battery just because that is the lightest one that still has enough cold cranking amps to reliably start your Mercedes Benz.

Badblackfolife

do you carry the installation frame? if so how much?

thank you.

GHAZAN

Will you just be selling the seat bases for other aftermarket seats?

dynomite05

Any plans on seats for the W209?

dodger63

I think the bolt pattern is the same measure the holes front to back were the seat bolts to the floor

superlubricity

dodger, are you rocking a Race Seat now?

Were you when you went 10.87?

Staff@RPM

Here is a link to the Braille website. I linked it to the page with a mount that we stock for the 15'bs. battery. If you look to the left you will see other mounts that I can order for you as well.

What aftermarket seat are you thinking about. I will try and get you anything that you may need.

I only have the C63 right now but, as dodger said, it may be the same. If you wanted to take a couple of measurements I can let you know. I would need the measurement from the rear hole to the front hole and from the left hole to the right hole. Hopefully we can make something work.

no loser

How about the LSD Q it is in stock or what

really I am thinking to buy one from you

Very cool thread, RPM. It's great to see your company helping our platform advance at the track.

I like the idea of running a lightweight seat. Perhaps down the line I may think about that.

Staff@RPM

I am not 100% sure what you are asking, I think you are asking about a Quaife. If that is what you are asking and you are looking for one for a C63 we are selling them for $950.00.

I'm glad you like it, hopefully we will be stocking the lightweight seat set up. We are going to make it so it is a simple bolt in installation. I am just working on how to make all the mounts adjustable so it will fit each driver.

recaro pp or sparco dtm cfs....its hard to find any seat bracket information for MBs

dodger63

Almost. I got a sparco evo 3..

You no everything that was done for the 10.8 run!

I was going ***** to the wall for the 18th but now we have a heat wave..if anything good comes out of this week I will disclose all of my new mods and weight loss. I will say that after a 4.5 month wait I did receive the rear evo rotors so I'm happy about that.

My sparco evo 3 seat and custom bracket weighs in @ 25lbs so it's approx 40lbs weight savings.. And actually extremely comfortable.. I'm contemplating leaving it in full time along with a reg evo passanger seat. That would be a 80lb weight savings everyday!

dodger63

There are none This bracket should/will work on all side mount seats

Staff@RPM

I looked at the Sparco site but I could not find the seat that you were talking about, can you send me a link?

dodger63

Craig I believe those are on the side if the site for the rich people. They would need to do a credit check.. Haha just kidding I believe those are the same as the evo 5 times more $$ and save 4lbs if I'm correct

SonnyakaPig

Awesome.

"bolt in" -- a new type of go-fast mod.

SonnyakaPig

That's what I was thinking of doing down the road. Such a good weight savings.

Must have felt good to finally receive the rotors.

Staff@RPM

Can you tell me which seat it is on this guide. If it is a side mount seat and I get dimension D I can get a seat bracket made to fit the seat to the C63.

You have any 17" wheel options?

dynomite05

RPM, any pics of these seats? Sorry if I missed the link. I will take some measurements and let you know. Thanks for the help.

Staff@RPM

I will have different wheel options and tire options available soon. We are still trying some different things out.

We will have pictures in the next couple of weeks. I just ordered 5 seats and I have to drive about an hour away to get them when they come in so I plan on getting them the end of next week because this weekend I will be going to MIR.

mthis

Craig, thanks for helping me and teaching me, i feel like im going to run 10's in 70F bc of you 2 guys. if i do WolfGangs on me one night. (best stake in the city)

Staff@RPM

I like Wolfgangs. We'll go to Wolfgangs on you one night (definitely agree best steak in the city) and then we will go to Sammy's on me (most fun steakhouse in the city). Mike hates the city but we will drag him out.
