Months away ... Getting back into the game
Good afternoon folks....
Its been awhile and the itch is back. After being away I have watched the last 6 years provide some good leaps in aftermarket tech and trials with the W204. I am now actively searching for a solid, low mile C63 to start my adventure on, much like my previous loaded Kleemann S7 C55.
As most that know me on here, my cars are NOT garage queens. I take them to events all over, including Drag, Autocross, Track and multi-discipline events such as Winged Warrior in Indiana.
My target is a C63 and put on at least a stage 3 Weistec solution. In addition, once I have read through some of the comments regarding the drive-train, possibly the transmission upgrade too.
Once I start this build I will create a thread and do the appropriate baseline dyno and post dyno result testing. Can't wait to get back in the mix and from the looks of it, this platform with decent upgrades should put my old C55 to shame.

Welcome back and I will be watching your progress with interest. Best of luck in your search for a car and in the build. Should be a monster.

I believe there are a few cars out there for sale already with the stage 3... just depends if you want to do the whole build yourself! If you do stage 3, whether you get the prefl with the torque converter or the fl with the mct you would still need to do the weistec bulletproof tranny. My indy has a 2012 fl with the p31 package (forged internals etc) he did the tranny, he also twisted his driveshaft in 2 at the track when the tires hooked. Either way I would say get a p31 package car!
