Thank you for the response. What you've done is perfect.
I was just expressing to a friend the other day that tinting the lens does not have the same effect or appeal as blacking the housing.
In my opinion, tinted headlight lenses look cheap. Black housing looks very tasteful. It's all about the details, and it's very nice to still see the individual elements behind the clear lens.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.

Thank You, you are correct and I proved it many times on the HWY against GTRs and Blown Z06s plus another few strong cars. For what the car is it def holds its own.

I think the trans in these cars will hold until you throw too much power at it. I had no issues with the Trans this far and it has been holding up well. It's kind of a silly question to ask if it will need a trans soon, you can do 100 more passes and the trans will be fine or you can do 1 more and it will get destroyed.

Car is out of the tire shop with a brand new front tire that had to be done and will be on way to Speedriven as soon as I get a hold of Marcin to see if he has room for the car and can do my Vac on the door.

kamilclk430, can you share two things? Myself being a noob to the W215 6000TT what steps do you follow to achieve the best E.T. & 1/4 mile times?
What can I achieve with a Eurocharged tune and being stock otherwise?
Thanks!

Though my 500 hp/516 lb/ft trq. 06 CL55 already feels and behaves like a 1960's big block. Soon: Eurocharged tune, pulley, beltwrap, I/C pump, and I/C for 60 hp/tq. The CL600 puts out 540 hp/590 trq. A tune adds 50 hp/trq. If it were me I'd go with just a tune and a few other little things. Otherwise, kamilclk430 was either on a mission from god or received a good bang on the head for building that monster that puts out power in biblical proportions. For a measley $22k, buy his car and be done with it and have your mid 10 second 1/4 to boot. That thing can take on the 700 hp 2015 Dodge Challenger Hell Cat.

Kamil,
I really hope you keep your car and mod it until you see low 10's.
Good idea to remove the ABC. I think removing it will help you to be able to really launch the car and remove some weight.

I would do a coil over kit with a nice set of QA1s in the front to help with some weight transfer at the track.
Blown if I do keep the car, I will for sure go all out on it. No more messing around

Car is at Speedriven getting the driver side Vac done so it works, and at this point other than the cracked front grille which you can't even tell its cracked car is 100% with no issues at all. I still have to get my rears balanced out again due to the vibration but that should be an easy fix.

I will be taking the car home today or tomorrow and it will be stored away in my parents garage. Car is 100% ready to be sold the only thing left to do is re-balance the two rear 20 inch wheels and that will be it.
