Hoping that some of you could lend a bit of advise. My C63 started pulling to the left the other week and I was having to hold the steering wheel to the right to counter act, thus meaning the car is always "turning".
I have been to 2 different places now and they have adjusted around 5 times...
I'm planning to do some Track days in the New Year.
I'm no stranger to the track on 2 wheels, but a complete novice on 4 (!), so I'll be after some tuition to get me started.
How many of you do Track days? and what tyres would you recommend for a fat lardy SL63 weighting in at just under 2...
Just a heads up here, The Piston heads forum has a track day at Goodwood on Saturday 13th December, £150, 40 cars, 10 cars on circuit at any time, with a noise level of 98 DB. I already appreciate the usual track day guys here, won't make that 98DB noise level, so just advising should anyone...
I'm getting both front inner and outer tie/track rods fitted at the weekend and a full geometry set up done front and back because the existing ones are seized solid and the alignment needs doing. I'm supplying the parts and the same place who are doing the geometry set up are doing the rest of...
I see yesterday from the PH site, a track day at Goodwood on the 4th November, any of you regular TD guys going on this, was thinking, I could do with a day out, the outings on TDs this year have been really poor, but not sure who's day this one is, but research says RMA, who are they? any...
I had the opportunity to take my E63 on a "track" last weekend for a charity day, basically its an old airfield that they lay out into a small track and you take kids from the local hospital round in your car.
I have lots of footage that will take me ages to edit but I have put a little clip...
Hey people
Just a quick one, I know some of the big amg (6.3) overheat after a couple of laps on a track was just wondering does the CLA45 suffer from this ?
And on stock power does the gearbox overheat on track after a couple of laps
Thanks in advance
Really need to get my hands...
Hi all,
I did another charity event last week for the Help for Heroes & Not Forgotten Association, took the soldiers around the Brands Hatch Racing Circuit in England.
Car spent all day going into limp mode but was a great day!
Unfortunately I didn't check my GoPro settings and recorded the...
Hi all,
Been on here for a while but lost my log in info doh!
I took my C63 estate (2011 facelift) to a charity track day last week giving rides to wounded soldiers, and have another track day on Thursday.
Had trouble all day with it going into limp mode, from research this is a common...
I really am my own worst enemy when it comes to cars. After 8 months in with my C63 Coupe (ppp) - I'm now after something with a little more grunt. After coming from a GTR, it kind of set a bench mark. I wasn't expecting the C63 to perform like the GTR but as each day goes by, I realise now...
I was invited by MB for a track day @ Thurxton Race Circuit 2.4M race track.
Thrashed a few AMG's round it.
CLA 45 AMG
A45 AMG
E63S AMG - my god that thing shifts!
C63 AMG
There was also an SL63 but sadly that didn’t go on the track.
Here are a few images other half took on the day...
Hi, I have both front track control arms for a 2008 cls. May fit other cars
I bought these as I had a squeaking noise when going over bumps however have now sold the car £160 for both.

I was going to take my time with this one but I noticed last night the camera was set to 25 frames per second :doh: so anything faster than a snail has a blur.

Hi, I took my C63 to the Nurburgring last year and it went into limp three times but as soon as it cooled down a bit it sorted its self out. I remember reading a couple of posts where this had happened to other owners. Is this a know MB fault and is there a fix?
Thanks
Bout to press the button on a track day including caterham car hire with this company (at Donington park) and wondered if anyone had any relevant prior experience. I am a total track novice so my priority is to get some decent guidance and plenty of track time to practice.
Having spoken with Simon M, the other day, he tells me that Mika, has moved over to a Porsche from his C63, and planning to go on a 'Goodwood@ track day with a couple of his friends, Porsche and Jag XFR, Simon is unsure weather he can make it, due to being between cars, so had a mailed...
I have ordered my new ML350 and it's currently being screwed and glued together in Alabama. I've been told by the dealer that it should be ready for me here in the UK mid february.
I've seen on some forums that you can track the build progress of your car - can I do this with MB? I've emailed...
Any Multi Track Recorder Gurus On Tonight?
Two choices:
Usage is for my lad to record at home.
A secondhand but mint KorgP3200 or a new Zoom R16.
Roughly the same price.
if I understand them correctly, the Korg has no SD card, but a hard drive and CD writer, whereas the Zoom is SD card...
