Figured I would fill it up since there is no spare to deal with. I think my cooling problems should be resolved now!!!! The other black thing on the right, I dunno what it's for??? muahahahaha Maybe the new wheel/tire combo can put it all to the ground? Lemme know what you all think, gonna make it back out to the track Oct. 2nd......CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

looks cool. Did they change battery locations over the years? Mine is on the right side (passenger), not towards the rear of the trunk.

Love the drag rubber out back. You need to post a link to your video's that mbenzman put up. I'm not sure everyone here has heard what your car sounds like under throttle

Trunk looks nice! I would maybe stick that AMG emblem across the tank lengthwise as it appears it doesn't wrap well... or maybe a nice white AMG decal. All in all I'm jealous.

Nice setup, reminds me of my trunk! If you dont mind me asking, what size hoses did you end up running to and from the reservoir? What size tire are you running out back? I'm debating between 265/40/18 and 255/50/16

Couldnt put the emblem long ways, I have a nos bottle heater that straps to it near both bottle brackets and it would have been in the way like that. It works for now until I get a different idea

Thanks for all the compliments. It really has been a work in progress this whole year, hopefully it pays off with some good runs before the tracks close. I have not dynoed the car. Way too busy and I have just been concentrating on getting to the track and tuning off that. I have popped a couple motors on chassis dyno too so I am not that thrilled about them.

Jody: I 'll p.m. ya on the tires, they are kinda top secret

I am running a NX wet shot with jets hahahahaha

Car has the VR 675 package + some more mods and some more mods too!!!!
