only slk55 4pot are direct bolt on, the w220 and w215 4pot have the same bolt hole spacing but use a 12mm bolt. 210s use a 10mm bolt, so I got a sleeve of stainless tubing to make a spacer, super easy.

Wow, very very cool. love the thread and what youre doing to the chassis. really interested in doing the intake mod and the front calipers, how did the front 8 pots bolt in? do you need an adapter or do they just bolt in?

Awesome. just had to go back to stock for a while to get through smog, but am getting everything together for round 2 and hopefully a re-flash. My stock air box got a small crack so I'm gonna retire it and try to sneak a few extra HP's in at the same time.

Seats are in really good shape, other than this small random tear, like where your lower back would be.
I just installed this seat tonight, will install the passenger side next weekend.

Dude. Seriously nice build. Not many people take the kind of time and effort it takes to bring these classics back up to spec. I'm definitely gonna keep up with this beast!

Needswings m113 catch can, make it easier to drill and install an NPT fitting onto my throttle body adapter. 80mm TB from a Dodge Charger. Also, all my 2.5in 304 stainless ready to be made into my new exhaust system, with my MoscowSupercharge headers and Velocity AP muffler, and a PLM S550 mustang x pipe.

intake manifold ported, for it back on the car, fires up runs, the stock intake elbow doesn’t fit, like two **** hairs to big. Would maybe fit if I installed it on the TB and then installed it onto the manifold. Waiting on a 90° silicone elbow. Also bought some seat belt holders and a bolster protector, not sure of the proper names for them.
