As far as Debris, You cant see it but I have a very fine screen on the compressor housing. That and the car only gets driven maybe a few times a month.

This is my garage project...... about as far from the E55 experience as you can get.
1972 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4....
In Moab, UT...(2003) - Dropping off a huge ledge on a trail called "Steel Bender"
In Hollister Hills, CA.... (~2002) - Checking the articulation of the new soft leaf springs I'd installed.
New 502 Cubic Inch Big-Block, getting the "old school" paint treatment and valve covers... Offenhauser on one side, M/T on the other just to see which one looks better.... It's a rollercammed motor set up to produce something like 620Lb/Ft of torque at 2100RPM.... HP is in the mid-400 range. For a 6000Lb truck, it's all about torque.....and the driveline losses through a 4WD setup are at least 30%...probably more.
As it sits now.... getting all rust repaired, new scratch-built 4-link suspension, homebuilt rollcage, etc. I taught myself how to MIG weld, built my own hydraulic tubing bender and designed the suspension using an Excel spreadsheet I created. It's been a really fun hands-on educational experience.
I'm doing almost everything myself in a single garage bay, which is pretty tedious. Now that I think about it, there actually IS a common theme with Mercedes..... the axles are a Ford 9" centersection, but I'm using the portal-geared wheel hubs that were lifted from an old military Mercedes UniMog 404.
There you have it.....totally relevant to this forum. Kinda.

I have a 1966 Fairlane I am working on. I am stroking a 460 to a 521 to drop in should put down about 650whp and 700tq. I will post pics up later.
I am still looking for a daily driver so i can keep the miles low on my 55

The red one went back to it's previous owner to make room for the E55. The Yellow one is my track car/weekend toy. I'd throw in the GL450 family hauler too since it's a Benz but I can't find any pics (maybe once I get around to lowering it and putting the wheels on it).

a Rivera...via a Custom 24, Strat and Les Paul
E55 and performance V-twins for motorcycles. . .hmmm, I wonder if I'm a fan of low end streetable torque
E55 (Kleemann headers, no cats, X-pipe , 168 pulley, custom OE dyno tune DCT Steering wheel, Euroteck Rear Diffuser, CF Lip, Euro side marker deletes, hardwired Escort 9500, CF trunk spoiler, 20% tint, VOSSEN CV3's, Eurocharged HE waiting to be put on)
04 Honda RC51 Nicky Hayden edition: Pazzo levers (shorty brake, regular clutch) Ohlins front internals and rear shock, Sato Racing rearsets and Bonzai CF exhaust, HID lights, 07CBR1000 switch gear, 41,15 gearing, flapper valve mod, PCIII with custom map, undertail, CF rear hugger - 450lbs - 130hp to the rear tire:
And because it really is WAY too much for the street (as is almost any sportbike today)...Here stablemate for me to cruise the streets with
07 Ducati Monster S4RS (has the 999 liquid cooled V-twin in there) Mods: everything. . . . . . about 420lbs, also 130hp to the rear...
DD - 2010 Subaru Legacy (also black) no pics. . .because really, if my neighbors saw me taking pics of it, they'd really think I'm insane:
and I don't know if this counts, but to me toys are toys so here's other stuff I constantly try to "mod" (it really is a sickness)
