See Texas plates. You a fellow Texan, or is that from PO?

After all this, still have a plan for that incredible audio install?

All kinds of interesting sounds...........

Congrats on getting her back. Hope you fall in love all over again.

Well, I'll be.....

have a good friend in Waco and been working down there quite a bit. Know it well.

You gotta let me know who can handle an audio install like that. I've got a good group in Plano, but I'm always curious about such things. PM me if you prefer, just whenever you have time.

When you get her sorted, would love to buy you a cold one and check her out. I'll drive mine down so you can embarrass the hell out of me. I've really been wanting a cl65. You're my hero on many levels.

The new turbos do sound nice. How's it run?

Its being done in a place in Houston. Should be a nice setup when completed I hope. You are more than welcome to check it out when completed.

It feels very nice but I have only put 4 miles on it. There are a couple minor issues that will be taken care of this week that I am not gonna go into but all in all its pretty nice. Hope in the next couple weeks all the gremlins will be sorted.

I just started looking at CL63's to replace the CLS55 I just sold and stumbled on this thread. As soon as I started reading and noticed how many pages, I cringed. Damn bro, sorry to have read all of this. Hope you get it all sorted..she does sound nice! Best of luck and Happy New Year.

Been following this for so long I miss it when it's quiet. How about some more pictures of that beautiful car. Maybe some pedal to the metal vids?

We all hoped for that, but sometimes you have to read between the lines. No sign of a clean dyno pull, long over due build with a promise of future dyno tuning. Don't expect to see any clean highway pulls through a few gears any time soon, I'd be shocked. For the sake of the customer we hope for the best and bite our tongue, only to be enablers and watch someone else become a victim. This is another 1 off build hyped up as a kit but fell short. Time will tell or this will fade away like others.

Car was somewhat completed and sent back. Runs like a raped ape but I have yet to go past 1/4 throttle with heavy traction issues. There were some minor issues (no running issues) that needed to be addressed so they are doing that now and should have the car right back to me. Really everything it needs will take a day to do save for the paintwork.

I apologize in advance if what I said is not accurate. I'm glad to hear it's not running issues, but not sure who "they" are fixing the minor issues, it seems kinda vague. Hopefully warmer weather with proper traction will prove you have the beast you waited and paid for. The 1/4 mile is the real test.

Paintwork? Did they damage the car?

Just some minor chips on the nose and a scratch on the fender. Marcin is on top of it and instantly without any fuss is doing everything to make it right.

Yay! Finally scored that one last part I had been trying to find for my CL! The CF piece that replaces the chrome piece on the front bumper. I already had a custom made rear CF diffuser made for it but never thought I would find that front CF part!

As stated earlier, car had no running issues. It was other issues that needed correction.
