[QUOTE=RBYCC;2482707]Nice day along the coast....seems like it's time for some pix !
Got all my painted parts on,including the front license plate delete panel.
Ended up with a S600 style grille.
Removed the R16 fixed resistor.
Much has been written over the years and there are both pros and cons.
Not sure what it does to a stock NA engine, but with my boost it did give a few degrees more advance.
Noticeable difference
Looks fantastic, and complete, RBYCC you should be proud
Now what? Are you going to start on your C43?

Thanks your comments
My wife drives the C43.
Intend to leave it as stock as possible as it only has about 44K miles.
Believe only about 500 units came to the USA in 1999.
My new "toy" is:
Doesn't need much, but a very interesting car (1971 280SL W113 )
If I do anything for performance it will be to supercharge my 03 NA G55 AMG.
