Great to see you enjoy your car on the Ring!!

Any modifications to your car? Are those CLK63 rims you have on?

Tex5 · 10-08-2011, 05:03 PM

CLK 63 rims yes.
The only modifications are :
- EBC Yellow stuff brake pads on the four corners,
- Motul RBF 600 brake liquid

A friend of mine was with his C55 like yours

AMGY · 10-10-2011, 05:01 PM

Awesome!!! Did you use the paddles? Looks like you left it in S. Howd the car feel on the ring?

Tex5 · 10-10-2011, 05:15 PM

No I was only in automatic S

Stiggs · 10-10-2011, 07:44 PM

Love the sound of that V8!
They let anything on that track....I saw you pass a pickup truck and then a station wagon!

This saturday on Lurcy-Levis Track with rain and this ****ing ESP which is never really off and reduce gaz when it is really not the good thing to do

Chasing a 997 Carrera 4S (4 wheels motion is really impressive on wet road)

Youre really enjoying your 55! Looks like alot of fun

novae500 · 12-07-2011, 07:55 AM

great vids!!!

discoduck · 12-07-2011, 08:08 AM

Pretty cool! Love that V8 sound....

I've been in the nurburgring for a few times too. Brakes upgrade is a must, mine were completly useless after 1 lap (345 mm 4 pot stock brakes with stock pads). I think a brembo gt kit+ toyo R888 (or any other semislick) tires can easily give half a minute of difference

I would really like to know how the the EBC Yellowstuff pads worked out?

BRIZZOK84 · 12-07-2011, 10:28 PM

I would love to drive the ring.

After :
- 7000km
- 12 lap
- 170km on Lurcy track
My return of experience is that the Yellow stuff EBC are quite better than stock brake pads. More aggressive and more endurance, but you need to change brake fluid? I have Motul RBF 600 and on the ring it was not enought.

Why the occasional beep on the Nurburgring video (Sunday)? Magny Cours brings back some great memories of my Porsche racing days (many moons ago)

elijah · 05-10-2012, 11:50 AM

Looks like a lot of fun

It's the iPhone App Harry's Laptimer Pro, that beep at start/stop/intermediates lap time
