E55 custom project
Hey guys I have a 1999 e55 amg with 134k I've had the car for 5years now and I love it but now I wanna make the car faster I was looking at weistec and kleeman but I didn't like what they had to offer so I was thinking to send my engine out to be modified and heads to be ported pullys to be upgraded so as cams and all the goodies and I was thinking of sending out my engine to be modified too to handle the engine I found differentials to handle the power and I will be upgrading the suspension as well and modifying the chassis cuz I know they rust to **** after a long period of time I was just wondering if I'm forgetting something and please I know I'm better off buying the w211 but I'm inlove with my 210 and I want her to be more of a beast then she is and please I know you guys think it's a waste of money and time to be doing this but Idc

You've said so much here that I don't know where to begin. Let me start out by saying you'd be hard pressed to find anyone here to shoot down your ideas of modifying your car. We all do it. That's basically why this forum exists, beyond showing off our stock beasts. Your car should fit your personality. You are a unique individual, so let your car reflect that and know that you're amongst friends and brothers here. Don't trip. Do your thing and you'll find more support here than you'll find us discouraging you from pursuing your customized beast.
Now... having said that... pics go a loooong way here, and you probably should've posted some with your first post on the forum. Let us see what you're working with.
and try not to come off like "I know what you guys think, but idk". If you don't care what we think, don't post here. We want to give advice to guys who appreciate our opinions, but don't come out of the gate expecting anything negative from us.
Welcome to the forum, mate!

Didn't mean like Idc what everybody has to say just the negative comments and yeah I will post up pics as soon as I learn how to do that I just want some pointers on the suspension cuz I feel like the stock suspension won't handle all the power I'm thinking of putting in to it

Not really trying to waste people's time I sent about all the parts already and figured out what to do with the suspension ordered the bulletproof transmission from weistec got the custom piping done for the turbo (used similar turbo so I can get the right piping the turbo comes in in a few days) the engine should come back in 3 weeks I've been taking pictures to show before and after the tuning is going to be done by a buddy of mine and right now the car is getting painted in and out So when I'm all done I'll show you guy the before and after on the dyno and pics oh yeah and the exhaust system is custom made too everything is costing me 18 grand so far I got luck with the paint my brother owns a body shop so I'm getting that done for free thank god lol painting the car black keeping the original color

Well rn the car has no engine and no transmission it's getting painted rn I got pics of it with out the engine and the rims I decided to put on is on the car they are 19 inch tsw put I'm going to post up pics when I get the engine and transmission back and post up a video of the dyno before I put on the turbo and I'm going to post up pics of the engine when it comes in and the turbos the pics and videos should be up in a few weeks maybe a month and then when I install the turbo I'm going to post up the video of the dyno with the turbos and I'm now thinking of a nitrous kit to put on the car as well
