Phil1305 C63 Progress/Mod Thread
What's up guys, i've been a long time lurker on here since 2010 when i got my 07 C230 sport. i always wanted a C63 but at that time couldn't dream of affording one..... let alone a clk63 which started this obsession. Well last year I finally had a stroke of luck and my perfect car with color combo fell into my lap, and i scooped it up as fast as i could. so heres a thread showing/listing all the mods i have done so far with future mods in order.

Nice. Says dyno tuned what did you put down. Also what are the specs on the tires? I was trying to zoom in on the sidewall but couldn’t tell. I have the street s/s 275. Nice looking ride. |

How do you like that LSD? I also recently bought a '12 p31 car with no LSD and doing some research on which LSD I want. |

The street tires are 265's and the drag radials are only 245. Im going to try and get a bald 275 to try and check for rubbing. Streets are 265/35/18 Drags are 245/40/17 |

great looking car(kinda partial to the white myself)....but good luck getting traction with the drag radials. I ran a set of 285 M/T Street Comps(brand new and prepped) on mine for a while a few summers ago and STILL could not get any traction so I went back to a normal rear tire and just had to swallow having to feather in the throttle from a dig
|
Nice car! And those welds look amazing :y

I love the Wavetrac, few things swayed me to it over quaife but either would be fine. I also installed it myself so just my time in labor.

How much did you have to modify the housing for the wavetrac? |
Did you do the header install yourself |

Great progress on a short amount of time! I see that WW Evo 9 in the background. I miss mine terribly.

That's a whole lot of white in the driveway lol. Congrats though and nice work on the progress. Look forward to seeing the rest.

Got my new oil in for this season, going with schaeffers supreme 9000 5w40. Ive seen the VOA of it and it looks pretty stout, and probably better than the Motul 8100 I was using.

Bad news from the track yesterday, snapped my driver side axle. Good news is driveshaft shop axles are on order.
|
I broke my drivers side rear axle at Atco a few years back. Wish I had waited for the DSS axles but they were on 8wk backorder and I couldn’t wait because of a track day coming up. Curious where yours broke, here was mine
