hey guys so winter is here and me being in NY doesnt leave me much play room with my "RED BULL".
i had a jerk in a porsche boxter back into me the other day and he bruised my bumper
. now that i will be taking care of that lil issue i figured i might as well do some mods since she will be away for a bit sitting in my body shop. i have my lifts and tools and my guys. so might as well
Things i have done:
1. resonator delete
2. 20" 3pc 305 & 255
3. window tint
Things i ordered:
1. trunk spoiler
2. new bumper
Things i would like to do;
1. tune
2. pulley
3. lowering link
4. I/C pump
5. front lip
if you guys have any recommendation on where i can find this parts how much and any other things u recommend me doing now. please feel free

the guys here seem to like adding a resovoir in the trunk for added coolant and dry ice along with a secondary i/c pump. look for the thread on here.

I would do a LET stage 1 kit if I were you if you were just looking for a nice little performance bump or the stage 3 if you wanted to get serious.
On a side not where in yonkers are you , my dad grew up off of Mclean ave. and Kimball ave. by the reservoir we go back a couple times a year.

I know we can help with your tuning!

a couple different ways to get the let tune.
you can set up a tuning session like i did , or mail them your ecu and they can flash tune it. you can also send them a deposit for a remote kit and then take your car to a dyno shop, hook the remote unit to the car and tony or jerry will tune it from chicago. deposit is returned when the unit is recieved back minus the tuning fees
just to clarify let is now part of eurocharged. wayne and jake handle the hardware and tony and jerry the software. a melding of 2 fantastic companies

Looking for CLS55 AMG
from what i heard the 180 is a dyno master but the 172 is more of a driveable pulley. just what i've heard though, i have no first hand experience.

I have the 180mm pulley on my E55 which I drive every day and its fine. You will want to do cooling mods with a 180. I did right away but I live in one of the hottest states in the country being in NY you will probably get away with it for awhile.
