New pix of my 210 E55 with HPS

I finally got my motor cover on. I installed the ML55 cover because it just seemed to look more AMG factory like. I still need dyno number, but over all I'm very happy. Now, I just have figure out how to wash my motor with out damaging anything.

You can wash your motor pretty easily. Simple green, a brush and a water works well. Once you're done, you can use Meguiars Tech protechtant or Back to Black on the plastic.

also...use some paint cleaner on all the painted underhood surfaces. You'd be surprised at how much of a difference it makes.

Thank you, it was a bigger job than I thought, it took me about 40 hours to do. Many parts if not most had to be redrilled or shaved. Almost a bolt on kit.

I got that one, poor Adam lol.
Your car looked sweet that night when we saw you in the Viper. How much did you pay for your brakes. I'm thinking I might need some with the added HP.

My mom's Peruvian, my Dad's Caucasian. Spanish was the first language I learned. Cool bro! Always nice to meet another Peruvian. We'll definitely have to meet up for drinks sometime.

Many parts had to be modified and the 200 page instruction book was horrible. Many pix and steps were left out. Several studs, bolts and nuts where missing our missed labled. Everything with the intake had to be shaved, cut and redrilled.
But hell it was cheap!
