Finally! my new ride! and possibly my build thread

Hi Guys,
First of all, my English ain't perfect so apology for any misunderstandings. I finally moved up from C350 to C63 Coupe. Big thanks to Josh! (C63 Guy) I know we never talked, but your car inspires me to pick this color. I've been waiting to this car since January and all I can say is I made the right decision ever! I picked up him it last Wednesday and it has 500km on the clock now. 1000 more to go! Can't wait for the 1500kms! The sound is very tempting that I just wanna stump on the pedeal hard every time when the road is clear. For now I just have to keep putting more kms on this babe! One question though, have you guys had any experiences with the Exhaust Choking at cold start ? I've been getting this for a few days now. I've tried searching on the forum, but nothing came up. I also read a thread on the APL and no one has an answer for this problem yet. I got no engine lights or any codes. I'm planning on taking it to the stealership next week. Hopefully, they can figure this problem out. Appreciate your helps and comments guys.

P.S. sorry for the bad pics and links(tried posting pics, but didnt seem to work...) I just snapped em real quick. More to come!

Congrats on your new car... she is a beauty with the 19's!!

I'm not sure what you mean by exhaust choking at cold start, but I'm pretty sure it's normal as this car makes all kind of sounds & growl.

The choking noise is actually your C63 telling you why you waited so long to drive it again

beautiful car... the first two looks almost blue but the last one is silver grey... light plays tricks on my eyes Gratz on car

It sounds like this, but it doesn't take that long to start.

Oh really? Then I guess I shouldn't be worried. May be it's just that I'm very new to this car and being oversensitive to everything lol

No, the center of the lip is black lacquered I believe that's how it's called, but I could be wrong.

It's ADV5.01 track-function. The finish is in Palladium face, satin black windows and gloss black outer lips. For the offsets, I haven't been told about that, but I'll will follow up once the wheels are completed. All I know is my tires spec would be 245/30/20, 285/25/20.

Love the color! The coupes are slowly starting to grow on me. I didn't like them at first, but the more I see the more I like.

You should sell me your OEM wheels.

Thank you all! AccelToronto, I don't think I'll get her tuned yet, but it's actually on my mind. I wanna see if the full throttle will satisfy me which hopefully I'll find out soon. Do you know if there's a big increase on tuned P30 car versus stock P30?

Mort, they are coming soon hopefully, the finishes are being applied now. I can hardly wait. It's been 2 months.

dubaudi, you got a PM!

and for future reference, if you are to continue posting pics in this thread,
flickr has a very nice build in function that generates the codes for direct display of photos on the forum, you can find it under Grab the HTML/BBCode and just copy paste that in the thread!

Hey guys, I got some updates on my car. In these past weeks, I got the windows tinted, windows trim and fog lights trims wrapped, grill, rear, emblems, side markers and exhaust tips painted. Any opinions are welcomed! I know some of these may not be ideal mods for everyone, but overall I'm pretty happy with how the car looks now. The only thing that still bumps me is the wheels that don't match with the black trims.

Looks great.

Going to get your wheels powder coated?

Still planning on ADV.1 then you don't have to worry about the stock wheels for much longer.
