That's the one. He ignored my calls for like a week. I was shocked when he finally answered. Compression test suggests engine is healthy! 155 on all 8. There is a problem for sure but I'm 90 percent sure it doesn't need a motor.

currently hunting.

e55 AMG Wagon

Interested in hearing what the issue is. My calls too were ignored, and thought about just showing up with cash and a trailer. Did the car get wet or something? look forward to your progress and congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we were excited that we were right. It didnt last long. we put the same components from the wreck into the wagon. It started up, purred like a kitten, was burning off all the sh** in the cats, we decided it was time for a test drive. as soon as we started moving it went to ****. started missing, started dumping fuel into the cylinders. it was heart breaking. I removed ecu that WAS good earlier that day, opened it up, and identified a clearly cooked chip.

I have another ecu set on the way and will begin testing every circuit that is connected to the ecu this week. im close and far all at once.

but it sure as sh++ doest have bent rods.

ill post this in my wagon thread, if you want to keep up with it.

Thanks! I'm really enjoying the stock look but with that aggressive offset.

These are Michelin PS A/S 3+ in 275/35. They appear almost an identical width as my older directional PS A/S 'Plus' in 285/35 except not quite as tall. They match up well with my fronts at 255/40 being almost the exact up-size from stock, both front and back. No rubbing, no ESP issues

Thanks - me too; the 'teallite' blue has always been my favorite....a little bit unique.

Just did a light smoke film on the headlights and yellow running lights, mostly to protect from rock chips but I dont think it looks half bad.

Looks great; headlight film really pairs up well with your exterior color - flint grey? Contrasting running lights look sweet too...

DatGuyC - Maybe if you like that look, but only when illuminated - you can use translucent paint on LED running lights like shown in the link below -

Its not everyone thing but I think they look neat. Besides its just a film, so if/when I get tired of it I can just peel it off.

its not my thing but its not that bad either . you should do some more mod then it will flow better... maybe star lower and a lip ?

I would do the light smoke where the yellow is looks more clean. yellow always reminds me of Japanese.

I would also put the oem side badge back ...looks more expensive hhaha... anyways congratz on your e55 .beautiful color !

Thanks man. I'd like them on there, but I bought the car debadged and at $68 for each one I dont think it will be happening any time soon haha. As for the lip I'm not sure if I want to go with the e63 bumper yet so I'm going to hold off on that, and I'll do the lowering when I get some new wheels eventually.
