hmn ... i like the heat in my exhaust system and not in my engine bay. 
I have kleemann headers and beside the fact that they very bend over after the first real heatwave i have no problem. have them installed for 25.000km so far.

And again ... a "small" update 
New Rims incoming
After i received the Rims i checked if they are technicaly ok.
polishing
i did this on our tire mashine, quiete a lot of work but in that case ok for me
I ordered the original "Titan Grey" Color. i tought it would be a bit darker but at least ... a really nice color for rims. probably the original "titan grey" rims from SL65 where painted in himalaya gray what i a little bit darker then titan grey.
Clearcoat.
nice color
Have to sit there until the paint is really dry. after that i can fit the tires.
and also i ordered a new key for my baby
greetings, Fabian

Thanks
they are 8-pot 390x36mm instead of 6-pot 360x32mm :-)
As you can get really fast in germany, germany is the only country in the world without a general speed limit as far as i know, you really need good brakes

These are 2-piece Wheels, so no screw nuts behind the bowl, the thread is inside the bowl. i have also 3-picese BBS Wheels on my W123 and these have nuts behind every screw...
Thanks

i just had a little time to get some photos for an update ready.
Here you go ...
in the middle of the year i scraped down a CL600 with M137 and used the Engine for a nice table in my garage:
After that i decided to get rid of the 2 CWA50 Pumps and use CWA100 instead. They are much more powerful.
a first test was around 22L/min. ... with 3 Radiators. Original Cooling has 1 Radiator and around 11L/min.
Next step was to get rid of some brakingparts i stored for my recent brakeconversion to 390mm brakes... i had quiete a few AMG Brakeparts
Then came what must come ... my kleemann headers had some "problems".
i welded them and Claus from Kleemann replaced the right one. But i must say ... i wasnt happy with kleemann headers so i started to search for another set.
to be continued...
