hello from lebanon

greetings,

sorry for the long post, but i am wondering where all the hardcore CLK-ers (Blackbenzz, CLKFAN, deyainrdy4ds, babyboigsxr, sorry i forgot any1 ) are, it has been a really long time since i posted anything, due to some back to back unfortunate events, blew up my piston rings due to some play with timing and 0.8 bar of boost, now running a safe 0.4 bar, then followed by a car accident where i had a whole rear end change (rear bumper, both side panels, rear traverse, lights, trunk, etc... ) but all when out fine, got some new head lights, a NEW color scheme black and Grey, trying to fine tune my car (still no luck getting it right on closed loop ) will try to post some pics when i get her waxed and shiny ...

are our cars considered old now? no more interest to tune and upgrade? or just people who modded them too much got bored and started to look at new projects?

really miss the old times on the w208 forum where everyday there was a huge mode or some pics of a really sick ride...

well sorry for the miss focused post but wanted to say hello to everyone

W208 was one of my favorite Benzes. I think we have a contact in common in Lebanon - Ali with a C32? Say Hi for me.

well the short version is a 50k engine heheh, the long version is a m113 500 engine with a complete supercharge take-off from a 2003+ E55 running on a custom pulley to lower the boost to 0.4 bar, also running a short diff 3.07 with 55 transmission and AMG speed shift TCU + blue top valve bodies, kleemann headers and a lot of other stuff hehehe...
