Its been a good day!

[ricky s]

In regards to modding ones car, In the first instance with my ongoing Brabus brake kit up grade to my E55, its been a 7 day nightmare, a long story, which I will post up at a completed stage, but hopefully, if everything as promised today, my car will be back in one piece c/w upgraded brake kit by Friday night, ready for an AMG experience day with Benjy and a couple of the other guys on Saturday.

Today my 'Savman' designed icebox turned up, and very lovely it looks. Big thanks again to Paul with his never ending help and advice here.

I then get a Email from Bruce at TTM in the U.S, he now has electrical power 15 days after 'hurricane sandy' and starting to process back orders, inc my fuel rail and upgraded injectors, so hopefully see them in the next few weeks.

Then another Email from Craig VMAX Williams confirming his attendance at the Charity Goodwood track that a few of us are going on at the end of November, so a little more company for us all on the day.

Further to this, I have a Renntech lowering module arrived and a Sc pulley on route, all for a spring time fitting followed by the must have remapping.

I did,nt feel like this a couple of days ago, but feeling very peaceful with my world right at this moment, thanks to Savman, Baldguy and Alx, for help and advice on the above, roll on Saturday, roll on 30th November Track day, and Roll on next spring time, looking forward to them all.

Holy Moley - there is no way on earth I will catch you with that lot bolted on!

Is the icebox for the champagne? I have one in the S Class and trust me it does not improve performance

Kleemann.

Let me know your thoughts on the brakes when you get to trial them.

Marc, I see your name is not down for this potential 'German Marque' Vmax day in the spring, you likely to be coming to that event..?

 

[marc.l]

I am currently waiting on some dates for cardio surgery , they will be around feb- march time . As soon as I get my dates I can confirm . It is an event I really want to do !!

Your options for RHD headers are pretty limited you won't go far wrong with Kleemann headers but they need a small modification to clear the steering arc. Nearly all the others are short type, I went with PLM headers which are very similar to Renntech shorties but wish I went with Kleemann ones now.

If your looking for something slightly different I have been in discussions with a company to design and fabricate a set of very high quality long tube headers that will fit RHD, if you are interested pm me and I can share the info with you.
