Let me re-introduce myself....(new owner)

Hello all,


I'm sure you guys might recognize the car, since the prior owner was a member here. After a long search, I found this to be a fine example of an E55. Im not, new to modding, this is actually my first car that was modded prior to my ownership, so I will have a few questions here and there....bare with me.

Im in Cherry Hill, NJ-Right outside Philly, anybody close by?

Anyways, here are a few pics...enjoy!

Yes indeed, Rennlist. The LSx is the best thing to ever happen to the 951 chassis. I probably shouldn't have sold that car.

I think you'll enjoy the E55. Super easy to work on. First thing to do is check your I/C pump.

Thanks for the input...its has a Johnson Pump already...Its basically a Eurocharge Stage 2 package... so it pulls nicely...Not as vicious as my old B5 s4, but not bad.

Yep..some reps though in 18s. I like it, Im a little more conservative when it comes to wheel sizes since it's our "family" car.

DVC- you were on 944hybrids huh?
