Patients, pics to come. I have my baby parked for the 1st time in 7 years for some upgrades/maintenance. Let me at least get the pads and rotors from freakingfastsrt6 installed and my "nasty" red calipers repainted (yellow!!!).

The Wilhems make a pretty frame but what a frightful picture they now hold

Installed fuel pressure gauge at the end of fuel rail. And hey; I have fuel pressure! And it's the correct pressure, imagine that, lol. Also since I was pulling the fuel pump fuse in the RCM, I went ahead and pulled the RCM and did the resolder of suspect pc board locations and did the "me so horny" mod while I was at it as well. Thanks to D.J. Tighed 1.

I installed a working SL55 AMG fuel pump tonight and re-installed the engine cover.

Finished front and rear brakes. New front ceramic to keep the wheels cleaner. For those wanting to know how to take the brakes apart, see my gallery.

I think the cover gives it a more refined look. However, I'm sure I'll grow tired of it in a few weeks and take it off.

I painted my engine cover due to existing scratches and discoloration from when I bought the car. I'm still on the fence about the color, but the wife likes it. I guess I'll need to repaint it.

Well, kinda... yes. I used both of my two main tricks:

1) When you see the lights, hit the brakes and pull over NOW.
2) When asked "where ya going, where ya been - etc", answer willingly (He really doesnt' care where you have been, he's trying to figure out who you are).


I REALLY thought this was gonna be "my time", but no. It was dark and I had no excuse at all. He had me.


But he threw me back like an undersized cod.... He did say, "Must be kinda hard to keep your speed down driving this".

I restored my headlights, removed some bumper scratches, hard-wired my satellite radio, painted a 12v adaptor, and had a new rear wheel installed.

Sometimes it takes more than a day...

I had my Mandrus Wilhems mounted a couple of weeks ago but wanted to clean things up a bit before bolting them onto the car. Since that day I've been up to my neck in "other things to do". I finally got that time this weekend. Even had time to install the stainless break lines.

A special thanks to JHM2K for lead on pricing of the Wilhems from Wheel Studio. Equal thanks to freakingfastsrt6 for the rotors and pads.

Pics included (to avoid the wrath of BoilerUpXFire ) :
