first benz e55 amg

[ReeceAMG]

Hello all just got my first benz, a 1999 E55 AMG

just came over from owning a lexus ls400, that thing only had a measly 4.0 260 bhp v8 but its now going into my project hilux surf

also own a subaru legacy twin turbo which was my daily untill the bottom end spun a bearing, currently being rebuilt and didnt want to be left without a car so bought the benz, Ive always wanted one.

needs a little work doing to it for it to be at my liking,
the bas/esp/abs light is on
wheels need refurbed
getting tracking done as steering wheel isnt centered
dash says service due, dont know if this is service A or B
gearbox could do with a fluid change
needs to be louder (full decat, h pipe and resonator delete)
needs a cd player, the audio 10 tape player is no good and cd changer is knackered
could do with some stiffer suspension or coilovers

so far Ive changed the rear tyres, had to do some burnouts to see if it had a lsd... it doesnt
changed the brake light switch and that made no difference to the bas/esp/abs lights
tried and failed to install a aftermarket radio
g3'd the headlights as they were pretty grimy

Im going to take it to staithes indy in dunston and have them read codes and whatnot

Welcome to the forum.

I know of someone else who did this conversion about a year ago. Certainly works well in the Hilux!
