Hey guys,
I've been a long time lurker but always a fan of the AMG. Well this car popped up and I went to check it out. Long story short I bought it and am just looking to drive/enjoy and maybe make a couple small adjustments. It's running 110k miles on the car but has a fresh motor with 5k miles on it:
(New rings, main bearing, rod bearings, rod and head bolts, new oil pump, chains and guides, new head gaskets and cylinder heads were redone) After that it has 180mm pulley, long tube headers with mid pipe, dyno tuned, wavetrac 60% locking LSD)
KW V2's as well.
I wanted to get your guys take on it and see if you have any recommendations for me as I plan to just perform oil changes for the next 30k or so and drive the living **** out of it
. Let me know what you guys think, and ps, I'm really happy to be here. It's been a year since I've had a project and this is my first "bought not built" rig.
Here's my last rig for those who may be interested.
I did an E46 M3 about a decade ago.

And built a turbo prelude back when they were new.
