what kind of camera are you using? great detail.

 

Thanks for the comments!

Specs:
19x8.5" 235/35/19
19x9.5" 255/35/19 -> I should have gone with 265/30/19

It was $1200 for the wheels.

I like the door sills. I will continue to have full brabus stuffs for the inside

 

Oh BTW, I was using my old Canon G1.

 

i just crapped my pants

 

Did you have to use spacers .Do you know how much they weight ?

 

I have to use 20mm spacers at the back. Don't know about the weight.

 

Are those rims a mercedes part as they have Merc caps on them? They look sweet btw.

 

More shots, daytime shots:









Saldous, They are Lorinser style wheels, not OEM Mercedes wheels.

 

Did the your car drive any differently ?besides looking great?

 

New wheels and tires = ride the same
Still looking for 3.2 AMG charger.

 

I found out the other day a Benz V-8 will fit easily.Check out the thread on a Simple Mod V-8 airbox,also you could probably buy a V-8 cheaper.

 

Yes the engine will fit. The problem is the wiring harness. My friend installed a 5.5 AMG into a C43 to make a C55. Everything is a breeze because the share the same wiring harness.

Crossfire/R170 SLK is still using the old wiring harness. You could tell by looking at how the ignition works:
R170 SLK/Crossfire -> you have to hold the key until the car start
Newer benz with V8 -> you don't have to hold it. The car will start by itself.
Having worked on a lot of Mercedes and dealing with their wiring harness, sensor, electronics, I know that this is no simple task.

As far as power, one of my friends has an SLK32 and After driving it(more like being inside a slingshot), I decided that it has enough power that I could handle. Any faster than that, not sure if that is good for me

Good luck with your search on V8 engine.

 

I don't have to hold my key until the start. Just the initial twist and immediate release and it starts on its own. Unless I am totally misunderstanding what you mean.

 

Can you verify this? Maybe the start is really quick so the moment you twist it, it start right away. Let's say if the start takes 1 seconds, you would have to hold it.
Our key(the flip one) need to hold. The newer Mercedes has smart key(no metal part seen) can have the auto start.
