Everything else look AWESOME! What are the specs on the wheels? width's? Offsets?

tbal

Lookin goood! Remove the tint of the lights though

AKnight55

Yea I agree, its coming off... We were just fooling around when we put it on..

Thanks..18 x 8.5 F and 18 x9.5 R... Not sure on the offsets though.

AKnight55

I knew you guys werent going to like the tint on the city lights


Will be installing a Renntech v1 shortly and well as doing a gloss black vinyl roof. Then its on to some exhaust, thinking about going with the Eurocharged mufflers and tips.

Glad to see the front lip worked out well

Looking good kid.can't wait for my f14s to come in.we should go to new england dragway april 2nd!

Todd Edge

I'll be interested to hear if the intake system works. It seems like it would get heat soaked and simply pull extremely hot air coming off the manifolds and valve covers. I know my valve covers alone are too hot to touch after some spirited driving.

Let us know the results.

Yea thanks again man.. Any plans on going to NED when it opens??? What did you end up doing with your bent wheel??

AKnight55

My car wont be ready, but I was just going to text you to confirm you were going on the 2nd.. Ill be there, just to see you run

E55Dimon

No problem!
The bent (cracked) wheel is in the garage. The maker doesnt sell to the "public" and it was discontinued last year. Kinda the that I expected, plus wheel is custom painted too. I'll figure it out. Boston roads make me feel like someone is bending me over..
I'm picking up 2 sets of 19's next week. If I figure out the crack on the 20" wheel, I'll use em for show. 9 days they lasted
Angelo (skratch77) was at the shop w me while I was getting some stuff completed, 10min after leaving BAM! front rim cracks 7" and bends rear.


I'll be at the track soon, just not during the weekend..

skratch77

Sucks about your wheels kid,when my new f14s come in you have first dibs on my e63 reps and ill even put you on a monthly payment plan since I know you just got hit with everything at once.

Andrew Ill hit you up if Im going for sure,I need to do a few little things before I run it(engine mounts,tranny mounts,spark plugs and dyno)so hopefully Ill be ready for april 2nd.

OHH and if my f14s are here with my drag tires by then

love everything but the lights, but one question, why the new intake? and what gains are produced?

E55Dimon

Keep that front plate off too Andrew!

AKnight55

Yea the tint is coming off the lights..

As for the intake, im not sure if there are any gains or not.. Ill be able to tell once I go to the track in April..The main reason I did the intake was for the sound, and the supercharger whine is very loud now..

BMWKILR

We'll make you some intake scoops next similar to the TTM ones, except for 1/4 the price and wrap the tubes with the heat reflective material. Be good to go roast some ricers on 93

03'55AMG

whats the easyest way to get that loud a$$ s/c whine?

AKnight55

Many different ways..

You could go with some k&n filters, or do an intake such this.. Ive also heard a bigger pulley with increase the whine..

emoving

Looks great! Did you take thoes jakey covers off yet?

BenzoDoc

Prepare to get flamed by the man himself for even suggesting that

And if you spend 1/4 the price, you're spending too much. Mine cost $5.45 in aluminum, and I only used half of the sheet.



And after all, they're GF approved. I even had her hand-paint the AMG logos since my stenciling was so fail when I originally made them. My original intent was to wrap them in CF, but was instructed by the girlfriend to leave them be because to a woman they look better this way. You can now see who calls the shots when making changes to her "limousine."

Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

BenzoDoc

Andrew-

What did you decide on as far as intake wraps are concerned? Exhaust wrap? Shurtape? Reflect-a-gold?

If you opt to go with something other than Exhaust wrap, please take some IAT's beforehand. I know that Shardul has already demonstrated #'s for the Exhaust wrap, but I couldn't find any as far as the other two options.

Thanks.

Gotta love those Gunmetal F14's!
