What are the potential hazzards with regard to engine damage?
Any clues anyone?
There's no free lunch....but I've always heard stuff like "you can put in Nitrous...but you'll only get a few uses out of it before you blow out your engine".

In my 96 Impala SS I was adding 150 hp (it was really 164 hp by the dyno, and the car had a total of 494 hp at the flywheel), on an internally stock engine (Lt1, cast iron), but I always used it "carefully" and with the right stuff to add, in two years I didn't brake neither the engine nor the transmission, and I was running 12.6 quarter mile times
I knew the engine was going to pay the price for adding so much HP from 2500 rpm to 5500 rpm, I was using about 30 lbs of NOS a month, and I'm sure this is true for any car running NOS.
My point is just because you run NOS in your car, it doesn't mean that your engine is going to brake, but you have to install it right and not go the cheap way about it.
NOS kit, assuming the kit has safety switches and bottle warmer
Ignition Amp
Window Switch
Engine retard
93 octane
non platinum spark plugs
hope this helps

Fake picture????
That picture looks fake to me. If you look close and compare the the round center piece that holds the red arrow for m/h with the one for the rpm. They should be in the same angle to the camera but they are not. The red arrow it self is very different the one for rpm is much sharper. Also look for the shape of the white line that shows the km/h (between 80 and 110 m/h).
Anyway this is just an obsevation and I might be wrong.

I don't know, it seems legit to me, RPM and Speed seem to match, i checked my video and at 155 mph I'm doing about 5200 rpm (at the most), it is hard to tell because of the angle, also because of the angle we don't know what reflections the cluster might've cought.

Actually, it runs pretty damn cool. So much air going through the engine compartment keeps it at regular temps. My needle skyrockets when I'm sitting in traffic, but always comes way down when I'm flying on the freeway (yes, even over 150MPH which I've done a few times).

eh... i barely know how to use a computer... sorry... i guess if you look at it long enough you can make the clock look crooked... keep in mind the speedometer has a piece of glass/plastic infront of it thats curved... i never took optical physics either but i know light has a tendancy to bend? maybe thats it =) well next time I drive to the keys ill post another one... damn ... the reason i posted it so big was so there would be no one to say " oh thats edited"... but i guess you can't please everyone =)

lol.. and the scenery outside??? ever driven to key west dude? welcome to flatlands and when ur going that fregging fast you'd figure things moving at 160 might be a little blurry in a still pic... like i said... optical physics might come into play..... ill make sure to take multiple angles for you.... nitpicker:p

Sharp eyes there guys, I didn't notice it before but I guess to Photoshop experts it is more noticeable.
It's true, from 0-80 mph and 110+ mph the dashed line is curved, BUT from 80-110 mph the line is straight.
And the angle of the center circle indeed does not look like it's from the right angle...look at the other center dial circles in the picture.

I don't seem to get the problem here??!!!!! Other members claimed that they have reached 150 - 155 mph before. Juice's speedometer (fake or not) is recording 158mph plus or minus. That's only 3 mph more than others. It's not impossible to reach that speed if you've done mod's like he has--N2O's???!!! Hello!!!!
Beside's, if the man said that he did, then he did!!!! Let it rest already.
Juice, you've got nothing to prove to anyone. We all know that a modified CLK can go even further than the 160. The mistake you made was showing the picture in the first place!! Also, when I go down to the Keys this weekend, the last thing I want to see is a wrecked Blk/Blk 430 on the 1 mile bridge!!! Peace !!
BTW, even if it is fake, I'd rather fake that picture, than to go to a MB dealership and take a picture of a car that I don't own and claim it as mine (NO PUN INTENDED)

Dapper,
You are absolutely right, nobody should have anything to prove to anyone else on here. Doing 3 times the legal speed limit just to prove a point to an Internet message board is just plain silly.
The fact of the matter is, if you are driving a CLK, you are driving a fast, luxury car that most people have never experienced. Enjoy your cars!
