I completed my move into the new apartment, now i have a fullsize garage to service my car in.
As a result the W202 is already up in the air, preparing to lower the front axle and while I'm at it, finally install the KMac kit. All the while I am taking the rubber off my authentic repair AMG rims and refinishing them in a _surprise_ tone.
My birthday is on the 31st, so this will be a late gift to myself. Expect to see pictures within 3 or so weeks.

I updated my flickr feed. Included are some picture of the right side of the engine bay, the intake. This only applies to the M104 W202s:

Also notice the installed K-MAC bushings on one of the pictures:

Valvecover off for a deep cleaning, and then some.

Adjusted the steering box. Found play in the drag link. Took the dring out along with control arms.
A brand new Meyle assembly going in tomorrow, then the car is being lowered on the ground again reassembly of the underhood assembly begins.
EDIT: Drag link out. New one in. Started lower intake manifold re-assembly and let me tell you boys and girls. Never disconnect the transmission vacuum modulation line, unless you have a very good reason to. Such a pain in the *** to re-connect, its mind blowing. Very very painful, especially if you have large hands.

Closing on the completion of my C36 as a resto\tuning project.
Previously I had gotten all the major bullsxxt out of the way like:
http://www.cartct.com/10-10-10.shtml
Not to mention that after I took instruction from a friend on the fun-runs, I managed a 57.296s with him in the car. Shaving off impressive 7/10s. No cones.
Summary of the cars (and drivers obviously) that were done today:
Some pictures: http://www.cartct.com/10-10-10p.shtml
Nice seeing you Ben (appatula)! Hope things work out with your car. Drove Ben's car today and realized how precise the steering on these cars is supposed to be. Tight and nimble. I have to find the point of failure and slack in my system.
Next project: shutting a C43 owner in a straight line? They just won't stop running their mouth about that all. Anyone from the tri-state want to meet up? Mass, RI?

- +1 AMG wheel fitment with 245/35R18's on all 4 corners

A lot of body roll. Might want to considers stiffer anti-roll bars.
Front tires locking up. What's wrong with your ABS?

ABS has always been off, it is hardwired. Got the car this way, no ASR, no ABS.

Trust me, you want to drop your lap times, you have to go up to 500 lb springs at least and heavier bars. The fast cars barely move. I am going to upgrade bars because I don't want to ride in a dump truck.

95' AMG SeeThreeSix
Haven't been around these forums in ages but seeing that v-cover deserves a shout out; hats off to you man! Good seeing you in Mass btw bro, coincidence or fate I think its a sign for me to get my C into tip-top, mingle the odds and ends. NEED to put that 190 Evo diff in and get the suspension properly toed/cambered and go for a nice rollout. When I grab some K-Mac's I'll want you to be there just to supervise, I don't want to end up pulling off the c-arms more than once
Just to reiterate, the ride looks sick Denis. Post them FB pics up here, she looks sinister and I like it.
