It's been a while..

And I'm back with some updates!

Fixed the damn broken steering wheel lock, which cost a lot more than the regular EIS issue But all was good.

I decided to do some work, and I, following the great DIY's on MBWorld, did a spark plug change, oil change, oil filter change, and air filter change. Bought the MityVac; one of the best investments EVER! It runs SO much better now!

I'm planning to do a lotta renovations to the car, so thanks to IceHawk, I will be trying to fix all the little crap that didn't work. From him I'm getting a new Master window switch, temperature sensor, foglight harnesses, and fender liner. Going to also repaint my bumper too, and hopefully a new CF lip.

Also took off the TE's to do a little bit of refinishing, so prior to that I refinished my Brabus replicas. Fixed all the curbage, and plastidipped it. Will probably repaint them sometime in the future.

Also started to detail and polish my car. Not quite what I wanted, but I'll keep working on it till all the swirls and holograms are gone :[

Here are some pics, enjoy!










My buddy's Midnight Purple R35 and I:



Retired the "BMW LOL" plates, ahha.


Detailing; So after doing my car, I started on my friends MR-S, and I think it came out pretty well as my second job. Here's some pics for ****s and giggles:

No problem, here to help. What setup are you going for? Same around the spare wheel well design like his or something different? Have you seen Lenins setup in the C32 forum? He just posted pics recently. True dual on a C32! I am going to do a quad setup when I get back and modding my car again.

Yeah, that's why I said it's my opinion, lol. Smaller tips wouldn't do the diffuser correctly imo, unless i had the oval AMG tips, which are pretty bigg too.

Necessary tool for quick and stress-free oil changes. Everyone should have one; and it's not only for our cars, we just did a Miata an hour ago in 30 minutes.

Hello guys.

Well, it's finally time. It has come to a point where I can no longer afford to keep the C, and pretty soon I'm going to throw it up for sale. I bought a new car already, and the C's just been chilling in the back of the shop.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me out on the forums. It was nice meeting a lot of you guys, and I appreciate all the advice and help that yall gave. It was a wild ride with the Benzo, but it's time to move on. I plan to touch base with the forums once every so often, and I swear, the next time I come back for good I'll have me a E or S class, lol.

Thanks for the fun years!

And here's a pic of my babies:



And my next project:
