*** Vrp Usa ***
Wanted to share some pics of our new shop in Costa Mesa. We still have some work to do to finish getting the shop ready, but we are up and running..
We are located at: 986 W. 17th St., Costa Mesa, CA 92627.
Sorry for the night shots.. it was the only time I remembered to bring my camera with me... lol..
Will post some better day shots in the next few days.
Here is the shop:

Here is a shot of some of the project cars that are currently being worked on..
The white S550 in the foreground some of you might recognize from this month's Dupont Registry cover picture.. Its the same car.. It's getting some "tweaks"..![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The black beast in the background is our SL65 1000hp project car.
The white CLS in the foreground is a CLS63 that is getting some mods and was being used to dyno tune our 63 ECU program.. More info on the 63 ECU program later this week...![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Our doors are always open... Those of you that can, don't hesitate to drop in and visit!!
Lots of exciting things happening which we will share as they unfold.

congrats on the new business..
Keep us posted when you get your StarDiag, most of us that have AMG's near there final warranty period, we will love to trouble shoot our problems at a fraction of what the dealer would quote us.
I paid $600 to Penske once to trouble shoot a CEL, which turned out to be a loose spark plug wire. That was the last time I took my C32 to the dealer and the first time I begin to fix my own car (with the help of a friendly local mechanic)

Congratulations on the new shop and mucho grande success. Next time I'm in Cali I hope to stop by your shop...kind of like the W211 AMG guys version of Graceland...a pilgrimage to more horsepower insanity.
