thx brotha. This wasn't easy and took a lot of personal time to even do half of what has been done. Most of what's done isn't really ti go faster but ti make it easier on the car . To add consistency and reliability everywhere. So that all these parts work in conjunction. It's easy to make a car go fast with big turbo and aggressive tune . It's not easy to build a consistent monster/ show piece

actually I sourced each one from different vendors and went through so many until I found ones I was happy with. The fenders are a modified washer of what I was able to find that was the same width as the stock washer. The fenders are aluminum . Everything else is titanium.

very possible. I've done everything . I'm pushing and OEM plus look. Things that look stock but more aggressive. The bumper took me 2 weeks to build on my spare time molding and welding the plastic. So that there's no bondo. Just a very thin amount of polyester. . Every suspension part is ceramic coated. I have about 3 new designed parts that have never been on a w212 E before. I never thought about SEMA but now that you bring it up. Dude you just gave me something to work for.💪🏼💪🏼

Of all the stuff coming out of Efrains shop.... I'm really digging that catch can setup. I see that product being a popular seller as it looks great and provides a practical solution for our engines.

so I was able to have 2 shafts done . One in 3.25 the other in 3.75. The 3.25 is 13 lbs lighter then stock the 3.75 os 10-11 lbs lighter . Honestly if the weights were the same the benefits that you get from a carbon shaft is worth the upgrade. Going from 2 piece 3 joint shaft, to a 1 piece 2 joint shaft with no rubber disc This shaft is meant to improve 60 ft times, increase the response from Trans to tire, as well as up shifts and down shifts . How much will it actually do? Not sure, but I will report back . Carbon rotors come in a 13.8 lbs . In all I shaved over 100 lbs from rotational mass. I don't expect much, so any improvements and responsiveness anywhere and I will be happy.

One of my projects that took a while, I honestly need to do individual thread regarding all the side projects and custom parts but it would spam the w212 amg section way to much so im just condensing everything into this thread. If anyone or a lot of people are interested in a particular custom build or part and want me to do a full thread I will do one. This here I personally took apart, replaced all the seals , bushings etc. sent the gears out to be treated and polished . Among other things

I have the ability to have them reproduced if needed. The shaft is 3.75 carbon f That weighs 11lbs lighter then stock . This shaft I opted for is the much stronger version. The U joints are 1350 and the shaft is capable of withstanding 3000hp and over 2500tq. This shaft I had developed to fit the w212 transmission and differential yolk with no additional adapters. most of these companies use adapters which allows them to just purchase a universal shaft. Then they add the adapter, and say they have a shaft for that specific platform . I can have them made in 2 sizes using the newest technology of a billet forged spline yolk instead of the old design. The shaft is certified and tested. Exhuast radiant heat closes to the aluminum yolk should not exceed 300 degrees in order to allow a long life and the ability to daily. As with all carbon shaft a special epoxy is used to bond the ends. I did a good amount of data and heat probe logging and did not see anything over 150 degrees of radiant heat on a hot summer day while at a standstill at the closes point where exhaust is under the shaft. And driving dropped temps to ambient. I think it's safe ti say these should last a long time I will report back periodically.
