Like I said in the beginning, my plan was to buy a C63, but when the stealership gave me so low for trade in, I decided to go ahead with this instead. A 63/65 anybody can buy, but I can promise you that I will be the only one with a C32 like this!

Some updates;

I could not find the “keys” to the McGard that I put on my rims, just totally gone when I was home in Sweden last week; Scram did find one of the codes to one set of the bolts, the rear ones. And have ordered a new key, they should have the key today.
As soon as they can get the rear wheels of, they will do a dyno in Rototest. This test is the most accurate one on the market, and we want to do a before/after test of course.

The plan is to do the engine hood in CF, and to dress the side mirrors and grill in CF. Just trying to solve the transport of these items to that company.

I will install KW coilovers and widen the front and back side panels so that I can fit my wheels.

I’ll keep you guys updated as soon as I know things. I hope to be able to put photos as well, if I get any.

i noticed in your sig that you loved the sound of the Code3 Intake. If you like it that much, you should try taking of the weather stripping that lines the top area of the engine bay. It is ridiculously loud (probably too loud for most's tastes, but mine)

Yea, I sure do love the sound..

But one of the changes that will be made now is that the small stock SC will be replaced with a BIG Lysholm SC, so I'm fairly sure that the sound will be even greater.

But thanks for the tip!!

Some updates, the gearbox will go to MKB in Germany for upgrading, 4442$, but we have decided to keep the Kleemann LSD as it is good enough. This is good for me as a MKB LSD would have cost me 6830$ for the normal one, and 11 120$ if I wanted a higher ratio as well. I would have had to send the complete rear axel down to Germany for the upgrade as well. I might do the MKB LSD and higher ratio next winter!
The car have gone thru a Rotortest dyno, and I’m waiting for the numbers, will post them ASAP when I get them!

One set back, the guy who said he would do the paint job, have not got back to me so I have decided that he can f*#k off, (excuse my French), if he don’t want my money, I’ll find somebody else.

Scram have got two dummies of different SC from Lysholm, and tried them on. But Scram decided that there is to be another Lysholm, one that is bigger.

Sorry for the long time since last update, but I’ll keep you guys updated as much as I can!

Well, if there is still an interest in this project of mine??

I can't say that I have...I trust the guys buliding my car 100%, and the supercharger in the SLR is an Lysholm.. Koneisegg are using a Lysholm...So I don't se that it can be wrong.

If you are going to be building up the drivetrain, you should replace that Kleeman LSD with a Quaife LSD. You should be able to afford the Quaife since it is "only" about $1800 for the diff itself. Probably less about $2500 installed. MKB's fees are overpriced IMO. The Kleeman LSD will not sustain that type of power you are trying to achieve. For example, Blackbenzz's Kleemanized CLK55 is making big power and his Kleeman LSD broke. A Quaife is pretty much bulletproof. They have a lifetime warranty even when raced. Quaife LSD failures are very rare. I would not install a MKB LSD since it not as strong as a Quaife. The MKB LSD uses clutches which will not last as long. Quaife is the way to go. That's why I have a C32 diff+Quaife sitting in my garage that I want to install ASAP.

Mido, just some info for you my friend:

As Frank said Whipples ARE a Lysholm supercharger. Lysholm is the NAME of the engineer that invented it. NOT a brand name. ALL Lysholm superchargers are twin screw style. That is what he invented, and called it as such. Please keep in mind, some manufacturers have now added more threads to each lobe/screw, and have made other minor changes, but they are still called Lysholm superchargers. An example of one of these small changes is MB added a teflon coating to their specs for our superchargers. However it IS still a Lysholm supercharger.
When I looked for my first supercharger, I went with a Whipple, because it IS a Lysholm design. Frank stated this because they are MUCH cheaper in price, but are the EXACT same design

So, you might save some money with a Whipple, and get the EXACT same performance you are looking for my friend.

See yeah

PS: Good luck in what ever way you go. Anxiously awaiting

Installing the Quaife should be easy for Scram. Just take out the pumpkin and remove the cover, take out the stock carrier and unbolt the ring gear from it. Bolt the ring gear to the Quaife and put it all back together.

Hey, J-

Do you by chance have any pics of the weather stripping removed and how you put it back on when it rains?

Love the sound too!
TIA!
