NorthEast Meet - Boston July - 2006

Hi guys,

Welcome to Summer 2006! Mother to warm nights and sticky asphalt!!!

My Kleemann Supercharger will be ready next Monday and that stirs the desire to get a whole bunch of people with great cars together and go for a nice coastal driver up 1A for the day. Anyone interested in doing a half/day trip let me know. Just telling you right now though, don't hold me responsible for speeding tickets!

Let me know,

Learso

I'm in! But, I'm not sure that I can keep up besides, I really need to avoid confrontation with the police these days.

But, always up for a drive. Those M-people do it.. why not AMG/Benz

Great Holson!

I am thinking some good car talk while eating some good seafood by the coast on a nice summer's day is just the thing we need after the crappy weather we have been haivng. They call for rain until Monday from here on, maybe after that we will have our chance.

I'd be interested in burning up 1A with you guys. Once again...I'd hope to keep up in the ole' N/A 43.

Keep me posted, if this hasn't already happened.

Hey that looks like fun!

My CLK55 is still not done because the technician working on getting the S/C took a vacation this week. I am expecting a realistic completion date of next Wednesday...well before the July 9th date. Come on, let's go and crash the party...no pun insteaded.

JLee,

I got an email from the shop today, the car should be finally ready by the end of this week. The S/C is installed and the engine and all tidy and back in one piece. Preliminary dyno test show around 400 RWHP. I say preliminary because there is still some teaking that needs to adjust air/fuel ratio. There were also some hoses and minor parts that needed to be replaced in order to make it all fit just right, all responsible for the extended delays. But I am thrilled to think I could get it in time for the weekend. I know KTR's reputation is exceptional and renowned in the U.S. for working with high-end exotics and race cars so I feel confident that if it is taking longer than expected its because it needed to. Tomorrow could be the day!

Stay tuned for more coming up real soon.

L.

Sounds ghooood!

I can't wait to see this. When are we having the Boston cruise?

We should find a stretch and make a video of my stock CLK55 .vs. your CLK55 Kompressor.

I am suddenly real busy with work so I am thinking sometime in August, like the first weekend. It would be nice to have people from this forum who live close by come and get together. Maybe LimeRock or Lauden? Maybe a little barbacue event or something. All the highways going north are pretty nice, like 1A. The further you go, the more freedom you get.

Spoke again with the shop, the car will be ready tomorrow but I will most likely pick it up Monday or Tuesday because of the work that just came up. I will see if I can take nice pics of the shop and the car.
