SpeeDriven Shop Blog
 

Hello everyone! I want to introduce myself. A lot of you know me from the forums from my many years on the boards as Aleksandar1099. A few of you know that I have been heavily involved in tuning for the past 4 years, and now part of a great company here at Speedriven! We continue to bring the highest performing parts and kits to Mercedes and now other car lines as well. After many years as an independent ECU tuner I have joined with Speedriven to provide the best service, parts, and tuning available! All of our tunes are written in house using the best and top of the line equipment with years of experience. We are busier than ever with the AMAZING weather Chicago has been having and we have started on some new projects. One of which should be fun for the W211 E55. :D Can anyone say Whipple kit for under $6,000 :D :D Our V12 Biturbo kit is getting close to being released to the market with 850rwhp, and our 1000+rwhp kit is under development!We are also announcing special tuning and package pricing for the early spring we are having :)


Check out some of the fun projects going on around the shop!

Nice! Great things coming from speedriven! Whipple for $6k??? Wow. And those v12 packages are crazy. I want to get rid of my E55 and hey something else hmmm

PM sent

Great to know, post up in the V12TT boards also.

We (E55 and V12TT) need you guys to come out with some better cooling mods, does SPEEDRIVED have any new plans in the works for this ?


:bow:

Keep us updated on the Whippled E55 :bow:

Just when I start to day dream of selling my SL...
 

:rolleyes: You guys draw me back in DOAH!! I'll never leave my sweet over priced Fraulein Streetwalker:D IN for the 1000 rwhp package $$$ is ready when you are Marcin:y ps congratz to Aleks on joining a winning team!

i just said "whipple for under 6K on a MB" out load and it sounded pretty cool! me likey!

cool aleks....it will be sweet seeing some new product offerings!

and congrats on the speeddriven position!

I can say whipple! When and will it fit an SL55?
Bravo brate!

Not to be a hater, but I'll believe it when I see it. With so many cool things going down the drain ( evosport, weistec...) I have a hard time seeing such a thing for our w211's.

Believe me when I say that we put effort into our big projects as seen in our V12 Kit :D

Hvala brate! It will be Sl55 compatible.

Thanks Jake! I am trying to see if I can make it out to the meet this weekend!

Thanks! :D

Thanks Sean! Your car is one of the V12's coming up next! :zoom:

We will for sure! Keep checking out the thread for updates :)

For the V12 cars we offer our Intercooler kit which keeps the IATs very low and cool.

The Whipple kit for the 55s will be a much more efficient blower for the 55 than the stock unit and even at the same boost level will produce more power. It will also include a better intercooler as well.

Nice talking with you. Lets see what we can get done.

You are crazy, dont ever stop modding. We all love your modding enthusiasm! :D

I just think back to the Speedriven twin turbo kit for E55 that vanished so like some others I am very skeptical to any talk. I will also believe it when I see it sorry to say. I guess with some many different companies saying they are going to do this and do that and then months pass then half a year passes and then more time passes and still nothing some may get a little discouraged.

I'll try to answer this 1 as I spoke to Marcin about it, the reason it never came to fruition was NONE of the w211's here ever stepped up & dropped their car off for the TT upgrades simple as that period.. It wasn't a failure on their part whatsoever.

Excellent Aleks! Can't wait:naughty:

having adv.1 products promoted on your site doesn't help with your reputation

A teaser of the 65 kit. More coming soon!

Ooh u guys are in Palatine...I gotta swing by and check things out, I'm like 5 minutes away from you.

Come by anytime :y

Aleks, haven't met you yet but Marcin and company did a great job on my CL600. I couldn't imagine 850rwhp in my car...it's too scary as-is. Should have the car back from it's winter hiatus in early April (I store it down at my other house in St. Louis) and back to cruising North Side Chicago. I'll have to stop by and see what's up in the near future.

Nice!!!! So 52 mph is the magic speed to still downshift into 2nd??? That thing pulls hard. I may have to do some personal testing of my own to see!

Aleks, glad to see you joined speedriven!

Project Whipple is underway!

Motor out of the car on the stand ready for Fab work

Aleks, it was a pleasure to meet you Monday. I was nice to see my baby in the shop really stoked about the project. Will talk to you guys real soon! :)

Whoa!

That was quick!
