So, to the bad news...Again!!! (Never seems to end!!) The engine have gone into "safe mode", with a couple of "codes" in the display...The guys are trying to fix this as we speak, and a guy that works at Mercedes as a mecanic, are coming in later to se if he can "by pass" all of the codes. If it don't work....I wount be able to pick the car up on Saturday! And then it's this season gone!!!

Will keep you updated!

Ehhh it's to be expected. There's a lot of new hardware going on there so it's gonna take some time to smooth everything out.

The guy with the turbo converted SRT-6 had issues as well. But in the end all was figured out.

Your situation is quite unique in that you are all over the place while your car is stationary. That certainly does exponentially add frustration. Keep your fingers crossed and just try and remember that you are going to be cruising around in the most tricked out C32 Saloon out there!

You are right! It certainly adds to my frustration that I’m not in Sweden! When I get home I want to drive my car, and when I’m being told a finishing date and that date is constantly being pushed forward, I get frustrated, angry, p#*@%d off …..Sometimes I just wish that I never started the whole project! At the same time I know that ones the car is finished, I will have one mean station wagon….And I will not remember all the setbacks I’m sure…But for now, I’m very frustrated..

Ok guys, sorry to have to say this...The engine problem is solved and the car is running like a beast, and this is on only 1,2Bar...Spinning like crazy when you disengage the ESP.... But as one problem is solved, another one comes up...And this one has nothing to do with the engine...So I will not be able to get the car now... And it has Nothing to do with anything SCRAM have done...

Hi all!
Sorry for not beeing very active for a while! What has happened since last? Well, the painter is fired, and a new one hired. Have not decided on the color yet. SCRAM is fine tuning the engine and building some last parts and rebuilding a couple of things that they noticed are not strong enough. But the engine is preatty much done.

I have also left my contract in Lebanon, and have a new contract in Somalia!!!

Any news I get about the car, you will get! But as I'm sure you all can understand, I'm "a bit" tired of the whole situation! Scram is working there *** of, and then you have an idiot to painter who messes things up totaly.

Yes it’s a real pain in the a#@!

I just realized that I have not explained what actually happened with the idiot to a painter! Sorry about this guys!

So I was supposed to pick the car up on the first Saturday that I was home in August, I was leaving Lebanon for my three week RnR on the Friday.
So on Thursday I get a call from SCRAM….They called me, Not a good sign!!! And he tells me that the idiot painter had been out with my car driving, and lost left rear tire! The whole thing came flying by him…And my car was left standing on my new set of Movit brakes…So the 360 CF5 rim is a write off and the left rear brake system is a write off! Yes I will get everything fixed and new, but the problem is the time! I’m home in Sweden about six weeks in a year, and when I can, I want to drive my car! I have not driven my car for almost one year now!

And I get the news from SCRAM, not the idiot painter; he was too scared to call me!! And then when I’m home in Sweden, he calls me and acts like nothing happened! IDIOT!

So I think you all can understand why there have been no updates for some time!?

Thank you! Yea I really don't know either...But then again, he's an idiot! Yes I know, and that was my concern as well! But not really my concern, I said that no biggie, if a new 360 can't be found, it will have to be four new rims alltogether. But it seems that SCRAM have managed to find a new one on the net.
