Managed to take some recent pics of my ride with my updated rims..

more to come hopefully..

Whitey

Great pics Karlsson Love the background too.

In all honesty, the car looks waaaaay better in person. Great to meet you recently BTW and thanks for making me spend some more on my car.....the new addition is certainly the best RM500 I've spent on the car lately

Whitey

But clean up ur pics, LOL check this out:

vraa

Word bro, you're white balance is off quite a bit.

Alexbenz

sick man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dave you made that pic look nice as well..........

Whitey

Haha, you're just biased cuz he got ur bumper:p

Hey, if you're considering a nice badge to fit on your bonnet, Karlsson's real Carlsson badges look real nicey in person, prob better than the stick-on job you have right now (but prob cost an arm and a leg!) I can try find you a replica out here if you want.

carlsson9

It did!

I can tell you the actual cost ( in sterling pounds ) but i'd just get ribbed by everyone becoz of it..lol.

thanks for the props alex...what have you been up to?

carlsson9

ah...now i know why..i actually increased the brightness meter in photoshop, coz in photoshop, it tends to go a bit dark..thought it was me, but now i know its my photoshop for sure!

carlsson9

a few more pics....

Alexbenz

hahha, well it is a sexy bumper but too bad i might be keeping it if i do that other design dave..........we'll see....

Alexbenz

hey man........nothing really, chillin on vacation i guess, what about you?

carlsson9

vacation? sweet asssssssss.......nothing much happening here..just work, and managed to hook up with Davo here last week...

hey man, am waiting for pics of those xenon death beams of yours..it be wicked to see them at night. Been trying to get my city lights turn white or somethin, but can't find anything good here..

Was thinking of poping xenon lights for the foggies, but that would just be over doing it i think...but it would help heaps lighting up the roads!

Alexbenz

i heard , dave told me, thats cool.........

i thought you heard about the xenon's, there gone, parents friend run over them and broke them........

carlsson9

HUH?! now that's new! bummer.. hope your parent's friend felt some remorse and compensated you for it..!

Alexbenz

yes i was, spent some time on it but it's cool.......they said they would take care of it but i told them it's ok..........so we'll see

EMBZ

Hey man nice car you got there, where did you get that kit? its really nice

BklynBenz

very nice

TruE320Ridah14

looks nice I like those rims, it gives it a touring look

carlsson9

Thanks for the compliment EMBZ..

got the kit from a local shop here in Malaysia. Had it at a bargain price too since it was last stock and it was hanging on his shelf for like 3 years..

carlsson9

I love those rims too! definitely a change from my old five spoke Azevs..but also love the staggered look, and the dish is to eat out from!

BklynBenz, thanks for your approval

Richard Galing

Karlson....Outstanding, your hotrod looks very siic as always

The young ballers in KL must be envious of you ruling the streets

Nice choice of architectural scenery.

carlsson9

Rich! great to see you still hanging around the site! hows that new C6 ride of your holding?

thanks for the compliments...unfortunately young ballers here in KL have sicker rides compared to mine..( fleet loads of Evos and Stis..and some W211 brabus floating around). But i do get my fair share of stares, mostly becoz of the rims and the carlsson badges..lol

architecture scenery is at putrjaya, the so called government area, where all our leaders are based at..if you ask me, big waste of money, and most of my tax money goes into them buildings.:P

keep in touch ay man? how's the new ride in comparison with the E?

Richard Galing

Karlson,

I'm still pretty much a benzo owner so I do plan to drop in on the forums every now & then, in fact the E-ride is in stock formation and now sitting on chrome OEMs

You've done up your car real nice, the wheels are baddazz and I look forward to seeing the blk'd out grill

Hard to form a well-reasoned comparison between the supercharged E-ride from the C6 Z51, just two different packages; a cruiser vs a detuned racecar, albeit with great street-car manners. Having power is one thing, but the handling and braking are another, and the C6 hits the mark on all accounts...thus the added Wilwoods BBKs maintains excellent compliance at each apex of the track.

Done a few mods to the engine but yet still debating the A&A Twin Turbo vs Procharger blower...no offerings available as of yet due to LS2 edit software tuning not complete, thus far I'm at 551 HP (468rwhp).

Here's a few pics:

The Godfather

wow nice! So no w211 55?

carlsson9

Rich...all i can say is..whoaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really nice job, and i can see you've gone through the mods very quickly too!

That ride is hot!

Come to think about it, it looks like the lotus elise on steroids.

great to heard you've still got the E, but like doc said, no plans for the 55?

Can't say enough bout my rims..seems everyones going back old school..but it is a ***** to clean! am now thinking about a brake job, cause those wilwood BBKs on yours are to die for..

nice hp nos too..betcha you could give anyone a run for their money!
