Project E55

Hey guys,

As some of you know, I picked up a new daily driver a few weeks ago. A 2005 E55 AMG. I only drove it for a few days and sent it off to TVT Design in North Jersey for some modifications. Other than the engine work they are doing, I have tinted the car, tinted the lights, painted the grille matte black, and am adding a carbon rear diffuser, and carbon front lip. I'm still undecided about wheels at this point.

But, if you want to follow the build, there is a post started on here:

http://www.mbworld.org/forums/w211-a...-build-up.html

If the link is against the rules, I will try and post progress as it goes along this week.

I miss the turbo terribly! I don't miss the orange car at all! I think once this project is done and things settle down a bit, I will be back in a turbo on the weekends.
Yeah, you need to bring the perfect 993 down this way soon!

One more from the track, and one of the dyno run before the mods began. The one on the dyno also shows my first mod....the tinted tails! (As usual)

Thanks for all the positive comments. I was hoping to have it back this weekend, but I added a few additional items and it wont be ready until mid next week. I will have it dyno'd and then maybe to the track next Friday night.
