    C63 AMG Saloon 507 Edition

    Drive it in manual with TC full off. Maybe it's the placebo effect but this feel faster than when driving with it on or partial on.

    C63 vs rs7

    +1 on the 30 above a posted speed limit. 100mph is pretty much a guaranteed 6m ban unless you have an exceptional brief (or you're a top flight footballer)

    Here's the gubbins from the underside if it this helps? https://flic.kr/p/mC19A5

    AMG Basic Training – Hockenheimring & Affalterbach Tour – July 7th 2015

    The Basic Driving course was actually something that was included with the sale of the Edition 507 but I seem to recall seeing it on the Options List at £2 - £2.5k? You do get plenty other courses that they run but expect them to be a higher price. I flew Aberdeen to Heathrow to...

    AMG Basic Training – Hockenheimring & Affalterbach Tour – July 7th 2015

    Hi Dunc, Spa was actually my first choice - so I could experience what its like to go flat out through Eau Rouge, unfortunately they only have one Spa date and this year it landed when I'm on holiday. My instructor was a youngish German lad called Paul Muck.

    AMG Basic Training – Hockenheimring & Affalterbach Tour – July 7th 2015

    Video link at the bottom if you want to skip the words and just watch. The engine start and revving you hear at the beginning is the C63S. ==================================================== So that's me just back from Germany where I took part in the AMG Basic Training package. The whole...

    C63 Servicing in Scotland?

    The 3k pipes are probably off my 507. I think I inherited your old set.

    Do these wheels/tyres fit?? Read this first! Offset/fitment answers within..

    Apologies, typo from me! C63 wheels came in 18" and 19" flavour, original post should read: Would a set of 18” wheels off a W212 E Class fit the C63 without any caliper fouling issues or would I need spacers? E Class Wheels: Front 8.5x18 ET48 245/40/18 Rear 9x18 ET48 265/35/18 C63 Front...

    W212 E Class Wheels on C63 Just a fitment query that perhaps someone could help with? Would a set of 18” wheels off a W212 E Class fit the C63 without any caliper fouling issues or would I need spacers? E Class Wheels: Front 8.5x18 ET48 245/40/18 Rear 9x18 ET48 265/35/18 C63 Front 8x18...

    507 owners on here?

    507 saloon owner here from Aberdeen. Great car overall, standard – well documented - dash squeaks on cold mornings but disappears once the cabin warms up – source is just above the CD slot. Secondary Cat delete on mine, uses around a litre of oil every few thousand miles at the moment – she’s...

    W212 E Class Wheels on C63

    Just a tech query that perhaps someone could help with? Would a set of 18” wheels off a W212 E Class fit the C63 without any caliper fouling issues or would I need spacers? (This is so I have a set of winter wheels to protect the standard 19's from winter salt) E Class Wheels: Front 8.5 x 18...

    Another C63 with Secondary Cat Delete

    Forgot to say, had to nip into town at lunchtime to pick up a birthday present for the missus. Parked in the John Lewis multi-storey. The bark echoeing off the walls when you give it the beans up the ramp is phenomenal! Had to go to the top floor to get the stand alone non-door-ding spaces :)

    Another C63 with Secondary Cat Delete

    I'd imagine it will have some sort of effect on emissions although its likely the emissions are still within allowable tolerance. When I had my RS4 I replaced the OEM exhaust with a Non Res, Non valved Milltek which was pretty much straight pipes from cat back to silencers, the car passed 3...

    Another C63 with Secondary Cat Delete

    Video of C63 with gutted secondary Cats <-- Clicky! Cold Start from 0:00 Some unnecessary revving at 0:32 (Yes, she was at operating temp) Race Start and a bit of lively driving from 0:43. Be aware it does sound artificially loud, this is because the wind noise with the GoPro inbuilt...

    Another C63 with Secondary Cat Delete

    Hey guys, Since there's a recent trend in the number of Cat deletes, thought I would chuck in my tuppence worth. After some PM ping-pong with Robin (H20 MRV), I decided to follow suit and go down the Cat delete route - its actually more Cat gutting as Felstmiester has also done.... So on...
