The Eurocharged guys are still working on the Cold Air Intake as well as the inter cooler pump setup, I think the final plan is now in place.
I have had a custom radiator built in order to allow more space for the CAI. It will be a quad CAI with 2 larger intakes behind the center grille and 2 smaller intakes going to the DRL area..
We will also be running 2 inter cooler pumps and 2 fans all going through a control unit which can adjust each pump and fan speed independently depending on the temperature that you program each item to cut in at, they will also be variable speed so they can ramp up and down individually as required.
I am hoping we have now done enough to counter the v12 heat issues and allow the new upgraded turbos to create the power we are looking for.
We should have dropped around 300lb of weight along the way and 150-200lb more when I decide to do the coil over conversion.
I have also given the go ahead to change the cluster to the 220mph version to complete the look.
The last thing I am looking at is the SLR gear stick with the red fighter pilot flip up starter button to retrofit. I will see how that goes.

I am trying to get between 700-750bhp that will not disappear when the going gets tough.
These are the wheels but mine will be black. They are 10.5" front and 12" rear, 22lb front and 24lb back. They are the lightest I could find.

Okay... Good luck
That wheel looks really good much better than you have at the car now...
I'm also interesting about the new clusters...
Can they make Black Series type of clusters?
I have few picture's about them.

Easy switch out, it just needs programming in star. It will be direct from MB and installed and programmed by Eurocharged UK. It is the whole unit including the rpm and speedo.
The cost retail is around £1,400 but you should be able to get it under £1,200

I made a deal with them... 250 USD for the work.
I can ask about this to.
Did you order Black series or SL65 AMG cluster. I think they look different?

Those tyres would weigh around 26lb so your wheels are a little over 30lb which is quite normal for wide 20" wheels.
Which Michelin tyres do you have.
I didn't order the black series as it was much more expensive.

Any news ? Pictures from the front?
Are you going to use Silicon tubes or something else with your intake setup?

I am using aluminum, I am not worried too much about the small heat transfer while the car is stopped. I also have the extra two pipes going Down to the DRL location that should keep cool. I wanted maximum smooth air flow while running and the aluminum gives me that.
They will be powder coated red also, they are due to be installed on the 18th so I hope to get some pictures of the front end and the install in progress.

The seats have arrived and most of the other work is done, we had an issue with a coolant leak which turned out to be a plug in the turbo so it had to be removed again.
Eurocharged have flown two guys from Houston over who will help with the tune tomorrow and Friday. I am due to pick the car up Saturday
I am still waiting for my HRE's to arrive.

First seat is in, I plan to do a black interior with red stitching and diamond stitch on the Recaro's but I have to get the audio work done first.
