New guy from California - S55 AMG

Hey guys!

I've been a long time reader of the forums and figured it was time to sign up since I bought my first AMG car.
It's a 2005 S55 AMG in white. Love the car so far and I'm looking forward to keeping it alive with the help of the forums.

It's going to be getting some mild modifications and be my new daily driver.

Also, how do I send PM's on here? Looks I don't have the option.

Do I need a certain amount of posts before I'm allowed to send PM's?

Thanks!

It is really nice, I got lucky. It was a two owner car with all the service records and apparently it was always garaged. I believe it.

Welcome! Great looking S55 and rare to see a white one in So Cal. S55 here too - which LTH on your vehicle?

I have the cheap Chinese XS Power LTH made for the E55/CLS55 cars. They're popular with the W211 guys.

It requires some work and some cutting of the subframe to get them in. I also used bolts instead of studs to attach them to the head. This gives you some extra clearance to get them up and in.
