KRIS' BUILD THREAD V2.5
 

As we prepare for winter months here in Toronto, memories of down shift crackles and palm drenching speeds will have to do while our Beasts hibernate. Safe from snow and salt, monsters lay dormant in our garages :)


End of the season means pictures of the progress I made with the C63. The beast has been nothing but a pleasure to drive this year, spending some time with the car and the new additions truly amaze me. The car has such a personality, it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I thoroughly enjoy the run ins with an unsuspecting exotic every now and then :) Or the "is that sound coming from your car?" It has been nothing but smiles this season.


A general note about the build: I am doing this slowly, but trying very hard to do it right the first time. I thank all the people from around the world who I have became friends with simply because of our mutual love for this car. I look forward to a community of passionate enthusiasts years to come.

Nice!

How do you like the h&k coil overs ? They're a lot more cost effective than kW v3 wasn't sure how good they are

They are okay but no adjustable dampening and they are notorious for destroying front strut mount bearings. I will be swapping them out next year for another setup.

Any noticeable difference with the renntech throttle bodies? Also any drone with the eisenmann I'm thinking of picking one up since the stock exhaust with longtubes is raspy as ****.

What kind of power are you making with those mods?

Very little drone, this is the reason I went with this particular setup. long tubes with stock cat backs are way too loud. Sounds like over blown horns under load.

Throttle body changes the driving dynamics of the car tremendously. It's a whole new animal. Throttle blips are vicious. The car feels much smoother
Throughout the power band.

Prior to the throttle bodies the car was making 465 whp and 410 tq. Renntech claims 10 whp with them. I tend to believe it, I haven't had a chance to re-dyno it. But it should be north of 470 whp.

Beautiful pics Kriston, the build has come along nicely! I really like the red accents on the interior.

BBS LM! Great wheel choice. Car looks stunning. Great work.

On a mustang dyno?

All these numbers are on eurocharged dyno jet.

I dyno'd the car on a mustang dyno and made 498 whp. But I use the eurocharged figures as I had all my dyno's done at eurocharged post any parts I installed. The biggest thing for me was to ensure the parts made the power they claimed.

Thank you! The LM's are by far my favorite wheel. It took a lot to get them to fit correctly.


My Track day wheels are here too :) For next season.

Damn that's 20whp more than I make before throttle bodies. Does the race exhaust make that much power?

Kriston - tell me more about your fender flares please. I read your past threads, but it's not clear exactly what was done. Were they just rolled/stretched, or did they add material and shape a new fender? What was the total cost with paint? I can't imagine it was more than the HMS fenders would be.

I'm looking at the HMS group buy, but don't want FRP back there, and would rather roll them if I can, or have a bodyshop make them out of metal. I only need 1.5" like you to fit 295's back there, and I like how yours turned out.

Also your carbon fender liners - more details on this?

Thanks

I also have the renntech intakes, which made almost 10WHP. The Race setup eliminates the secondary cats which frees up a few ponies as well.




The OEM fenders were pulled and re-molded, then smoothened and re-painted with the quarter panels / bumper. I wanted to keep it as OEM as possible, since we pulled the fenders there was a gap between the OEM fender liner and the mounting points where it connects to the rear bumper and fender arches. I do not have a pic of the fender liners yet, but will post them up once I swap my wheels out. The HMS fenders are wider than my setup, but these are functional and allows me to run much more aggressive setups on the car. All while retaining a factory look. Cost for it was about 3K Canadian.

Perfection right there!

The depo tails look amazing.

Do you have any bulb warnings or anything of that sorts?

WOW, those Throttle Bodies are hella expensive!

Great mod-list, and beautiful car!

Very clean, u can tell the thought that's gone into it. Beautiful car, thanks for sharing!

Only thing I don't like is your license plate lol

Damn... I have to see this beast in person...

those rear fenders are the way these should have come from the factory, that was some good work looks stock.

I agree, so tempting to do it but I don't want to sell my HRE lol

beautiful car and pictures too damn!

^^^^^....I'll second that! :)

Great job Kris and George's pics are fantastic. :D

Beautiful !
