I just bought a '99 CLK 430. I am more of a porsche person as this is my first Mecerdes. I bought the car from a dealer who did not seem to know much about the car. How do I find out what I really have. There is carbon fiber cover in the engine compartment that says Renntech, the exhaust tips say Renntech as do the rims and shift knob. The car is pretty fast with tons of torque. How do I find out what this thing really is ???

Dang... sounds like ur car has some renntech mods... at the least, the renntech airbox, with ITG air filters... the exhaust must be nice too..

if you want to find out what other mods have been done to the car, you can probably call renntech and give them the VIN number, they may be able to tell you whats been done.

Or, if you just want to know if additional performance mods have been made, get the car dyno tested... also, a MB dealer may be able to tell you if there are any obvious engine mods...

oh, and congrats on the car

You can dyno your car and see its faster than stock. Post some pictures of your Renntech goodies, maybe we can define the mods you have.

Let me get this straight, you bought a Renntech CLK and you don't know what RENNtech is? I have to see pics to believe it.

I think what CHIS is saying is that he/she doesn't know what kind of RENNTECH mods are on the car... and if there are any significant performance mods

Oh, in that case, probably CF filter and exhaust, that seems to be pretty common. But who knows, maybe a 6 liter conversion! Now that would be a nice treat.
