Sunil, congrats on the mini beast. I have a few question on this...how did you get rid of the ABS, Airmatic suspension etc and get everything to work with the 203 chasis? You could PM me if you'd like. I mean the cars have different modules, can bus, etc...sorry just talking out loud.

Mad props on this though that C55K will be flying...you might need full time drag radials for this baby!!

The aim of my project was to have a seamless installation. I did not want a hack job and wanted to retain every single option the car had before including abs, bas, distronic, etc. It does involve some custom programming.

Just what the Doctor (Sunil) ordered

O my freakin' gawd!!!!

I just discovered this thread...
One would've thought the Kleeman kit would've been the end all, but NO you gotta go and graft a CLK front end on to the car, and stuff a huge freakin' engine into the car. Those pics of it going in, are almost pornographic. The uh, innuendo is much too obvious.
I think I got a woodie!!!
Listening to the engine idling, damn...I definitely got wood!

Whats next? Amazing. I'm sure you'll be in the mags now, once it's done.
Get Jeremy Clarkson to drive it...
"Welcome to Top Gear, I'm driving 180 mph in a 700 HP C class sedan, and I just left a brown stain on the owners leather upholstery"

Better yet, ship it over the UK (and then for a tour of Europe)
and let The Stig have a go at it.
"They say he eats the limbs off of living children and regurgitates them to feed his young, but we just call him the Stig."
I bet you might come close to a track record.

he heh ehehehehe

INSANE!!!!!

Is it driveable yet? What is still be sorted out?
How the F did you ever pull this off? wow.
