a few upgrades to my srt-6
a few upgrades to my srt-6
its so0 quiet here in the oz section... but anyways, a quick update for those interested; first in this thursday is a needswings 178 asp/psk pulley kit , a supercharger oil change, a new steering damper and fuel filter .
next up is a groundcontrol /koni adjustable suspension system,4 rda slotted dimpled rotors and ebc redstuff ceramic pads. then ,probly a eurocharged remote tune or a dyno tune if i can find somewhere on the goldcoast or brissie to do it right.
oh yes and a full trans flush , i have it on good authority that this should be done every 80k kms. they are not sealed for life!
likewise the steering lock nut needs adjusting every 80kkms , its years since i had anything but rack and pinion steering but this brings back memories
any ideas on good places to do the work in brissie or on the GC ?

Ok, i picked up the beast this morning with its Needswings ASP/PSK pulley kit installed and the SC oil changed ,
Wow what a difference , just what it needed MOre POwer !! haha , I love it .
The new steering stabilizer has really sorted the steering out too , steering feels so good now.
Just waiting for the Groundcontrol /Koni suspension to arrive from needswings and then that goes in along with new dimpled slotted rotors and EBC red stuff pads .
Yeeha !!

Just spent a couple more hours just tootling around getting a feel for it , the extra Torque at low rpm is very evident, pushes really well in tall gears , a really nice improvement.
i rekon these cars should have come this way!
That thread about the steering dampner is spot on, im glad i read it. steering is great now, i must ask the mechanics if they did adjust the lock nut or not , feels like they did but ?, i will ask em.
I love this forum , so much great info and combined experience on these awesome cars .

Hmm, I paid quite a bit more for my steering stabilizer, its a Stabilus brand ,made in Germany it was AU$82 delivered.
Front Mbenz W202 R170 W124 W201 R129 W208 E300D CLK320 C280 Steering Damper | eBay
the Needswing Pulley kit was US$1100 + freight , imo it was well worth it . i havnt stopped smiling driving it.
btw, I could not source the supercharger oil locally so i got that from needswings too.

Ok , I have now found a fantastic authorised MB service shop only 250kms away too , thats local here ;-),
They really Know their stuff sooo now shes done 83k kms here is what they did:
Full Tranmission flush .
12 new spark plugs
fuel filter
diff oil change
4 new dimpled slotted EBC Rotors and EBC redstuff pads, plus some noice red mgp alloy caliper covers ;-)
4 new tyres - Pirelli Pzeros , 235/4018 and 275/35/19.
The drive home (35c top down ) was awesome, the upsized tyres have improved the ride and steering some
but the Groundcontrol/koni suspension kit is almost here from NW , its getting fitted next week.
hope its as big a success as the NW ASP/PSK 178mm crank pulley kit was .
.
i will post some pics soon.
