New Owner, Where are the mod Lists?

Hi guys,


I am a new owner and am looking for anything to ready about my new car, but can't really find it. My previous car was a 99 SS camaro, so of course there was tons of information to ready and free (or cheap) mods to do. Any help?

Mikael,

Is your car a W210 (99-02) or a W211 (03+)

Unfortunately, there aren't many free or cheap mods that will net you any significant gains on either... the aftermarket for these cars is vastly different to that of the LS1 market...

Search for Peter B, DerekFSU, and Gid E Up posts for the most extensive mods or just hang around... .

Tire change should be the first thing if you have the stock Conti's.

2005 Kleemann Stage 3 E55
Search these websites:

Kleemannusa.com
renntech
brabus
evosport
carlsson or carllson (i forget)

If I had time I would make a bunch of links to these and any others.

To all, please share additional sites (not just the local tuning guys who represent one or more of the brands mentioned above--that's another post).

Also, WHEN traction becomes an issue (and it will) do what Derekfsu told me to do waaay early and that was get some bfg drag radials. Caution: they only come in 18" size and won't fit the expensive 19" rims I just bought--doo!*?#

Oh, i should have mentioned, it's an '05.


I realize this is a different world then where i'm coming from, i was hoping for a basic listing of the first mods to do, then maybe i'll step it up.

I started a list of links on my website: http://www.ekaz.net/Links.htm. If anyone would like to add a site, send it to me and I will add it.
