Orange calipers and black wheels look sweet! How long til we get a dyno with the mods in your sig? How about doing a world motorsports style cold air setup, marcin have any opinions on that?

Ya you've got the headlights off, roll up your sleeves & grab a Sawzall, you can widen the openings yourself, the tubing is the easiest part.. DoooEtttt the Scorpions are worthless..

Speedriven diet plan has also started more weight reduction items for the track in the works



With brackets and sliders we are at 16lbs each vs our OEM 70+lbs seats.

Not feeling the seats bro....

kamilclk430

Seats are only for track use to save weight. Im going for the 600 1/4 mile record which is 10.57. It was another 600 that did it on spray. Im gonna try to get low but without the juice. Weight is the next thing to do

I like the seats. Once you've no use for them (ie you broke the 600 record), lmk and I'll pick em up and use em on le E..

kamilclk430

I will keep you in mind. I will only have one seat in at the track, I got 2 so I can have them for the photoshoot and also events, and shows. Guys at Speedriven will try to fit them this coming week I hope. I will keep this thread updated with all info including 1/4 mile times and Dyno #s. I will also keep it going when the new turbos go on as well.

kamilclk430

Grille, tail lights, and front lip are installed I will take pictures tomorrow when Im at the shop. Tomorrow the headlights and piano black interior should be in as well. Meth kit is going in tomorrow as well. Looking forward to posting more updates as the car gets finished up. Still waiting onnthe coolers and intake tubes to come back from powder coating so that will be the last touch. The seats will also go in last since Speedriven has to make custom brackets to fit So close yet so far away, cant wait for the finished product.

Car will also be sent out to Dent Solutions Plus who did all my paint work for new tints, vinyl, and a complete buff and wax, after that a photoahoot to show off the project. In June we will be going back for turbos so maybe a bit more little things here and there to add to te list.

The seats idea is a great one. I would be interested to see how you're getting on with them. Especially the whole airbag/belt thing. Quite tempted to get a pair myself albeit a folding one. Tell Marcin I said Hi next time you see him. He's rebuilding my valve body and doing a trans pan as well.

kamilclk430

Ill tell Marcin you said hi, Marcin will be building brackets for these seats to fit inside the car, he has a lot of work going on but I begged him to try to get the car finished by Friday since I have till June to enjoy it until its down again for the Turbos. This season is looking to be a good one for the MB guys, a lot of projects and a lot of motivated guys to go out there and set some good times.

ohhh cool okay.. makes sense,

kamilclk430

We all know these cars do need to shred some lbs

Thanks

The original idea was to replace the signal on the OEM mirrors with a tinted one to match the rest of the car

These:



Out with the old and in with the new On April 24th was my B-DAY so I expected a gift from my future wife which was not there that day. The great guy I am I finally got it out of her that same day that she ordered me these mirrors and they already have been delivered to Speedriven to be installed. I stopped by Speedriven yesterday and took some pics before they go on the car. The quality of these is amazing and def the new look is way better than the old. I wanted the carbon fiber but they do sell these in black as well.

Alexbenz

Great girl!!! Can't wait to see it done!!!

kamilclk430

One of a kind Alex Thanks

Car should be complete this coming week, the only problem is it still has to go in for Vinyl, Tint, and a buff an wax. My photographer is lined up ready to go so as soon as the car rolls out of the secon shop its going straight to get a photoshoot and final pics will be posted.

I will be tracking the car along with some dyno pulls until it has to go for the upgraded turbos in June so will keep this thread alive with updates. I will also be doing some track only mods for weight and maybe some more cooling but this will be posted as we go.

Now just gotta go look for some hoosiers

I would try to get in a few hard track days prior to your detail. I know from my own experience, I haven't wanted to take my car to the track after having it detailed. I spent a few hours with the wheels off and a few days with black finger nails. I'm sure sooner or later I will give in as new mods are put on. Good burnouts end up somewhere!! Before and after shots.

Your CL is so clean in that second picture.

Thericker

Just spray a liberal amount of Pam on rear 1/4's or tape them up!

blackbenzz

That seems super light to me

RaceHorse

Thank You, its just hard to keep it that way.

That works and WD40 will take it off, (along with your nice polish), but the rubber still goes everywhere underneath, besides the quarters. Spraying, pam or taping helps, but you will still end up with rubber and dirty water spraying everywhere doing burnouts. That's why I suggested getting in a couple decent passes so he can enjoy the detail job until his next group of mods.

kamilclk430

I have a photo shoot lined up and car will be at the same shop for vinyl that is also gonna do the buff and tint so want to get it done all at once. I agree car will get dirty but I plan on tracing more than once a week unless I get a great time first day out

Exactly what I will do

BTW Sean your sig is upside down

Correction 20lbs with brackets each without the custom brackets from speedriven to fit the benz.
