How do you make all those changes ? Is there a dial on the box in the car? Can you do it on the fly ?

Web site that explains hows it all works ?

Thanks

Its a little remote control. You can do the changes on the fly if you want.

It is all digital, you scroll thru a menu to the corner you want and then adjust with an up or down arrow and then hit enter. I have done it at 80MPH and I have done it at 20MPH and stopped.

Identical module here http://greenh2.wordpress.com/2010/03...wering-module/

Some more info for the CL.

Once lowered the CL keeps those settings. There is no speed adjust settings available for this model unlike some of the other mercedes models where you can adjust at what speed you want the car to raise up to stock height.

That's what makes a forum and its members good. The support. I don't think the forum is there yet but I have hopes. I'm a car nut and I learn as much as I can about every model I own that way I know how to answer peoples questions. I take stuff apart to see how it works and then put it back together. Something as simple as running wires into the cabin from the engine bay or installing the lowering module. Most guys get it done by a shop and can't even answer simple questions without having to call the shop to find out what they did.

To make 670rwhp I am running 26psi of boost on my 80mm turbo on 94 pump and 100% meth running 2 nozzles; M10 & M14.

Here are some pics of the car:

That's OK with me.

BTW, I assume you had to do something to the internals to get away with that kind of boost? And did you do it first, or as a result of finding out the hard way?

Nope. Stock bottom end. Only thing that is changed is the cams. These motors are rated for about a 1000hp or around 800rwhp before things start to break.

That's amazing. That means they are over-engineered about the same as our MB 5.5's.
