It has been a while since we have been back on the boards. Attached are some pictures of the C55 in its current state.
We installed the CLK 63 Black Series Front Wide body Bumper and Fenders to accomodate larger front wheels and to have a wider front track. We then had our friends over at Kognition Design make us a carbon fiber trunk mounted wing for the car for added rear downforce.
The car is running Toyo Tires RS1 slicks at the moment. Once our HRE's get completed we will be running 245's up front and 285's in the rear.
Lastly, the car was wrapped in the HG signature digital camo scheme. Let us know what you think!

What I wanna know is how you're able to run 285's in the rear with no rubbing!(oh NVM, I see post #29 now)

I noticed that Renntech did engine work and/or tuning....any chance you can give me contact info for the specific person(s) you were working with down there? I have a local speed shop populated by former MB 'A Technicians'..& they are GOOD....if I can get the parts, they can do the work properly but I'd need to have info on the necessary tune, etc so best to get direct contact w/Renntech IMO...
If you can provide contact I'd greatly appreciate (as I'm sure others trying to go the N/A route would too
) and would be really excited to get into the firm 450+ HP range N/A.....I was also thinking about converting to dry-sump if you have any thoughts or contacts you'd recommend for such.
Thanks a ton, in advance, for any help or contacts you can provide us!

Any details about how much weight you've managed to pare or the diffuser?
Hopefully one day mine will be as much fun on a road course as that one looks

Does it follow the same guidelines as the clk bumper in general? it fits but simply needs new internal mating points to attach the bumper to the car. or did it require a major overhaul including the fenders?

And your point about it being a civic? I would love to hear what you have to say let me guess you think you're a baller in your benz? Ive owned three AMG's point is 300whp n/a out of a v8 is **** period with all that money spent thats weak as hell Im willing to bet i go buy a c55 put a cam longtubes and a good tune and make 312whp

Would it kill you to use a little grammar and punctuation in your posts?
