I'm willing to buy another clk ... but not until I start making my own money and stop relying on my parents.
Hopefully within a year or so

Just got back from the shop. There has been a bit more custom fabrication than initially anticipated, but the car should be running by the end of today. We are waiting on the expansion tank and all of it's hoses that should be arriving today.

I plan on getting the tweaked intake manifolds from Needswings, but haven't decided if I want them powder-coated silver or black. The SL/E55 airbox that I have is painted silver to match the car, but I'm thinking I might send the pieces out to get CF'd.

As you can see from the pics, the EC 185mm pulley kit and Needswings PSK are already installed. Once everything is running smooth I will contact Jerry for the EC tune.
