...the biggest pain is that everything always goes wrong on a friday, or prior a holiday (4th july), or x-mas, where the "torchure" continues during the weekend or holiday...

I would also like to learn more about the RENNtech mods that are performed by a MB dealership. We have one in TX. I might have to call them and discuss warranty issues. I am most interested in finding out how yours performs with the Stage 4. I am thinking that I would have to go with Stage 5 to make equal HP, since I have a smaller TB. Well, good luck and keep the photos and stories coming. Looking forward to them.
Mercedes Benz of Lindon actually does a pretty good job on Renntech mods. On the warranty issue, since the dealership is performing the installs, the warranty should still be intact. On another note, some customers prefer to send their cars to Miami to get their mods done. However, i am sure the MB dealership should be able to help you.

LOL - now even I'm losing sleep over this!

just kidding



Hang in there -- she'll be yours soon enough.

And I have had good experiences with MBZ of Lindon - you should be just fine with them, if my experience with them is any indication.

RENNtech did not ship the ECU until today. (monday) It will be at the dealer by 10am tuesday.. we actually have a tracking #.

Made the trip up today, staying overnight and leaving as soon as the ECU arrives. Hopefully it will be early enough I can still make it to my Golf League by 5pm. 4 hour drive.

Here are some pictures of the car in their service bay. They haven't even detailed it yet.

Aftermarket rims for the 07's... I have a set but they are going back to the manufacturer to drill out the holes for the tire pressure monitoring system. Will have them back ready to put on in about 10 days.

Will have good pictures to post Wednesday.
