Looks very nice! Cant wait to see more pics.

 

Hev where is your car!? all i see is this gorgeous Ferrari!

 

Thanks! More pics next week after a few more things get done

Tell me about it eh? Behind it under the red cover is another one, I believe its a Massy under the over cover.


So I went back into the shop today for a once over and a re-torque of everything (these guys are great) then took it out for it's first 'spirited' drive. I have the Koni's dialed in at about 50%, it's a very firm ride but you still have some comfort in it. Only comment so far - fantastic! Zero body-roll through the corners and an amazing solid feel to the whole car, I was flying through the on-ramps (late night here, no traffic on the 14 lane Dubai bypass road) and it stuck like glue. The next open track day here is in mid-February so I am going to sign up for it and get the G-Tech RR recording some data.

 

i need those! @ 155 my body roll was SCARY!

 

I'll tell you this, I've done a lot of different suspensions systems on a lot of different cars over the years and this is by far the most immediately impressive one I've had yet. The car is so solid it's great, the springs, sways and dampers are so far making a really great impression - really looking forward to getting out on the track to really put the boots to it. At high speeds the car feels 10ft wide and 1ft tall, glued to the road.

 

*** i need i need!

 

Looking great KeV wow Congrats I cnt wait to see more!

 

You also need to upgrade the sways.

 

Do u think CLK55 AMG sways will do the job ? talking to you Wes lol

Andy

 

I'm not sure on the diameter of those sways. The EPC doesn't provide that info, at least I couldn't find it.

 

looking good Kev I still like the AMG wheels better, but I am old and just dont get the black wheel trend... once you have the whole theme tied together with the cf bits I am sure it will be beautiful. the koni's are awesome right? I absolutely loved them on my E46 coupled with eibach pro kit the ride was just amazing!
looking forward to more pics.

 

hmmm.... what other toys are under those covers.

 

Eurotra$h,

Are you on H&R with Koni ?

Andy

 

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment.

+1. That's a big part of the whole package, oone without the other and it's a different system.

One of the guys that is doing/done my suspension work is a former MB tech from the UK who worked in the AMG race program setting up cars (he is also the crew chief for their race team). When I was searching out sways I told him that I was going to buy the Black Series ones (made by Eibach, as Wes has) but he told me the H&R's the the best ones out there, thicker and stronger than the AMG bars. Whether that is the case or not, I don't know but this guy and this shop seem to know their stuff so I have no reason to doubt them.

 

Thanks! You know, I'm 37 and this whole black wheel thing was really stretching it for me too because I thought the AMG wheels were really clean and classy looking on the car. However, you nailed it about all the accents, the plan was to have a high contrast between white and black/CF with small details of chrome here and there. We'll find out soon enough it it worked out, seeing the car in person, I think it will.

Another Ferrari under the red cover, a Maserati under the other and a few vintage restored cars in the sealed bubbles. These guys routinely have a ton of Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porche, M's and AMG's in the shop - they are one of the premier suspension & brake tuners in Dubai. I'll get some more pics next time I'm in for you.

 

I don't believe he's dropped...just photoshopped...if I'm not mistaken...



Angelo

 

Good info on the sways KeV .

Wes, did u use to have the H&R sways ? I thought I saw
That somewhere that u selling but just couldn't remember now.

Andy

 

Wow... Really.

 

yup i remember its a shopped pic

 

yep... dropped on photo shop in the sig....till spring then eibach koni set up goes on.

 

Yup I sold them. I had problems with the bushings on one of the bars and needed the double loop of the BS rear bar.

 

Ok so I will have the same problem if I buy that ?

 

I'm not sure. There have been a lot of people that use the H&R sways with no problems. I have come across a few with the same bushing problem I had. I guess you won't know until you try. lol

 

Dude ... Wtf ? Lol

 

I think with the old rims there was a better looking
