    Resonator Delete Completed

    Decided to have resonator removed on C55 this afternoon (after being driven in Steve's SL 500 Silver Arrow), and what a nice deep throaty sound added to the V8. Have kept the secondary cats as to remove them would have been too loud me thinks. Looking forward to hearing the sound after it's...

    C55 AMG Wedding Car

    Some close friends had the pleasure of being driven in my C55 for their wedding. They were highly delighted as was I. Here's a pic of the car with wedding ribbons - not for daily use.

    Look what Olly's done to my car.....

    Arrived at PCS at first light this morning for Olly to fit my Bilstein PSS14 Coilovers, and wow what a superb difference it has made. The drop is just right (will post before and after pics tommorow as rained most of today), and the ride is much better than before - not firm but with the 18's...

    SL55 Wheels Fitted - First Impression....

    What a saga. Got all the way to Sittingbourne, luckily paid by cash and not through paypal as the wheels were not what they were described. I took them out of the guys garage and into the light, and lo and behold someone has sprayed them to make them look like black chrome as they are patchy...

    M3 Driver gets his rightful dues

    I was cruising along the A38 today at 70mph in the C55, when a BMW came flying up behind me. I put on my brakes as he was far to near to my rear bumper, so he pulled back then overtook me sticking his 2 fingers up as he went by. The BMW must have been an M3 as it had 4 black tailpipes on an 04...

    Arrived Today

    As my brake discs were due for change on my C55, i had a look at the Brembo big brake kit but the cost for front and rear came to over £4k. After some research on a number of forums i found that the 6 pot caliper and floating discs from a CLK63 AMG bolted straight onto a C55, and that a 4 pot...

    Feels like a new car

    Big thanks to Olly of PCS spent most of this morning working on my C55 in a rather cold workshop renewing rocker cover gasket (Olly was the first to see the shiny interior bits of my V8 since it was handcrafted by Steve Newart of AMG back in 2004) due to oil leak, new spark plugs (16 in total)...

    Is £2k cash a good price for a respray

    Thinking of having my C55 repsrayed as previous owner used to have 2 dogs so the outside paintwork is far from good. Already had it clayed and polished last year in order to remove lots of scratches and swirl marks but up close (4-5 feet) paintwork looks rough. I intend to do this when the...
