I think it has to do more with just plain luck. I received many no's along the way. I'm just happy I have them in my grubby little hands. Just waiting for my bank account to recover so I can by the other bits and pieces. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to forward the contact info of the individual I worked with.

Did u received the car yet? Seems like the mods are coming faster lol

Yeah, I feel like a hoarder! It arrived on the 6th but I had to fly out to manage an IndyCar race the very next morning. So I've really only had it for about a week. I've driven it a couple times but for the most part it stays in the garage while I drive my daily around. I did a little test fit for some of the parts though. I still have to make time to put all the stuff on that I have piled up. But, I've been tied up lately designing/modeling some extended shift paddles for the car.



Mmmm, those humps... Those humps... Those lovely HMS humps...

I got my H-Pipe and OEM resonator delete from Mike today. Just waiting for some good weather and my ROW boxes to come in before I get them installed.

Great thread!

Filters are in and just waiting on the ROW boxes now. Once that's in, I'm heading over to the shop to get the pipes and this stuff installed!

561design

ROW boxes are finally in! Time to setup time at the shop and get all my exhaust goodies installed. Stay tuned for photos of the install in a couple weeks! K, the weather is pretty crappy here, so maybe in about a month.

Got my build renderings complete and lil promo books going out to potential sponsors soon.

Got the parts for my caliper rebuild kit and got the decals made. All ready to get powdercoated this Monday!


Also landed a good partial sponsorship with Prior Design NA!

nice! What color you gonna powdercoat?

561design

I'll be powdercoating them in white. Just pulled them today and the powdercoater picked them up. I should get them back on weds/Thursday and I'll apply the clear coat myself.

561design

Exhaust has been TIG welded and installed! I didn't get to start the car just yet because the calipers are off to be powdercoated. Video to follow shortly!

Nice tread. I just picked up a 09 C63 in white.

Thanks guys!


Calipers are off, prepped and off to the powdercoater. When these come back, I'll need to apply the AMG decal and then hit is with some VHT clear.

Calipers are back in my possession from the powdercoater. Time to get started on the rebuild!

Where did you install the H Pipe? In place of resonators or secondary cats?

561design

The H-pipe replaces the secondary cats and the straight pipes replace the OEM resonators.

Thanks, thought I read people have done the opposite and was trying to decide which way I would go
