it was great meeting some of you guys today, made me a little jealous that i don't have a fast *** fancy car... but that's okay.

rob's (oldgixxer's) car is definitely an 11.80 car, as the last run of the day he trapped at 118.5 and went 12.0x with a 2.0 60' time. with better tires (drag radials next time!!!) and nice sticky conditions like we had in the morning i see an even better pass nex time.

that is of course if he keeps the e...

Well,I wish I had a camera to snap a pic of Chris'(05Venom)face when he came to the tower7saw he ran a 12.16,it was priceless!Seeing how excited he was set the tone for the day guys...
Lorenzo arrived dapper as ever,quite dashing I must say
Pleasure meeting Chris,Mike&seeing Jim as well as some of the Bimmer guys like Multiowner who is one of the most consistent drivers I'ver ever seen w/out electronics go down a track.Even though traction went south he still drove the sh*it outta that M5!! Bonehead's M5 sounds amazing,and the 10sec C6 vette threw down some insane times(1.48 60' on d/r's!)

Special thanx to my immediate crew of consisting of Anthony D(who will be driving a CLK B.S. soon,and yes,YachtMaster you can beat on it if you like!)and Wyheem and a thanx to my support crew via Verizon on the West Coast Josh&Mo,and CylinderHead for starting this thread.And everyone else who txt me w a congrats!

Lemme go grab my slips&throw some numbers at ya....brb

Congratulations! That is AWSOME
Makes me proud to be an E 63 owner

Thanks
No problem - If you mount a factory wheel onto the hub, it will rest snugly on the lip around the center of the hub. Think of it like a film canister sliding into the lid. The bolts secure the wheel to the hub, but the wheel is already "on" the hub and if you let go, it would not fall off.

The lip on the inside part of the Kosei wheels that meets the factory hub is slightly narrower in diameter. So in my example, it is like trying to put the plastic lid from a coffee grind container (the hub) on a film canister (the inside mounting point of the Kosei wheel).

To allow the pieces to fit together, and maintain the hubcentricity (made that up) of the two pieces, Tire Rack gives you an adapter that fits, I think, on the inside of the wheel. It provides for a snug fit.

Compounding the problem was the fact that they didn't send me the new lug bolts, either. The factory bolts held, and never loosened, but they may not have been sitting properly in the lug holes on the wheels.

Seems like a great event, too bad I couldn't come.

Bonehead, why are you disappointed? Look at your trap speed bro!

Oh, so the gray "E63" with the AMG centercaps and hood badge was there? Cool, cool.

That 11.5 sec E55 must be pretty badass

What an awesome day. Unfortunately, I had to keep my racing to the streets yesterday...but I'm sure I'll be seeing a bunch of you guys at future meets and at e-town.

Again, congrats Rob . Let me know what you decide to do with your car.

No it's a built E55. Apparently the guy likes to hustle people. Not exactly a standup tactic but I've seen it plenty of times in Newark on Ave. P. Guys muffling their Supras so they sound stock but go like stink, etc.

CH- I think you might be confusing him a bit. He is a really nice guy and have nothing but good things to say about him. There are many 55's out there with the 63 conversion so not sure about that, he has never been to newark.

If he hustles people once in a blue more props to him for getting away with it, lol!!. His car was nearly stock a while back, now it is really turning into a monster.

Thanks. Now if our cars were torque monsters like the AMG's to get me outta the hole, I'd be happy as a clam.

Oldgixxer, if you scan an image and send it to me, I can figure out who he is. I have an image of each of the 50 master AMG tech's names and signatures
