    I use Valvoline Cerulean for all suspension pieces. Grab a tube and squirt some in one ball joint, then use something else in another. The Cerulean will cut friction coefiecent in half compared to anything else I have tested. Cerulean is designed for king pin bushings ( where it is metal to...

    Thanks. Ya, that was the trick. Not too much racecar, not strictly street car looking, and something original. There is still a couple areas that bug me, but I think the finished product will look and work good.

    Time to get to work on the upper rear wing mounts, side splitters, front dive planes, and extending front splitter. A few more little things will be happening to the back, but now it is mostly one color, you can see the direction it is headed. Rear looks a little light right now in the...

    If paypal doesn't do it, next call is to the cops for theft. Hopefully that will get it done.

    Thanks Grant. Ya, about that refund. They have had the wheels back for 12 days. They stopped answering the phone when I would call (they use cell phones and can see number) about 7 days ago. The next day I did a card reversal for the final half I paid, but the 50% deposit was Paypal. I...

    It definately is a monster. I have only had time to drive it twice so far, but it takes a second to get used to that torque. Just a slight roll into the throttle gets them spinning. Even at 40mph+! The tires will never last long. It is my first V12. I am pretty amsed at how smooth it is. Can't...

    Came to the realization I will be going on the SLC for atleast another year, Far too long for me to go without a fast car. So, had to pick this little gem up. 2005 SL65 with lots of Renntech goodies and tune. Miles are low, nearly flawless condition, and with the Renntech work done, 705hp and...

    Looks good. What 3d printer are you using? I have been needing to pick one up.

    Looking at car again, I can go forward a couple more inches, and still have an inch + gap to the filler opening on passenger side. These are pretty much quick pullings of the tape to get an idea of the balance, and making sure it is something to follow or ditch. As history has shown, I will do...

    Ya, it is why I do as much myself as I possibly can. Customer satisfaction is something the car world really isn't known for. There are still some companies that go out of their way to make things right though. Sad part is, these guys cut wheels for quite a few other wheel companies. Seems they...

    I see exactly what you are saying. The issue is that the fuel filler cap"s location on the passenger side is dictating the start of those louvers. In order for the louvers to be symmetrical, that is where it would need to start. Since both louvers are visible from rear, the initial tape lines...

    Had to move car to get a better look. I think the rear could have come out a bit further still. Nice to finally get a different perspective on the car though.

    Wrapping the fuel lines in protective heat sleeve is a simple way of doing it also. You can also run something like this on the return back to the tank- Flex A Lite Fluid Cooler Fuel Tube Fin Copper Aluminum Natural 3 1 2"x12"x3 4" | eBay I also am running a dual pump. Each pump is good for...

    Ya, it is the sales guy who was saying all the bs to me about "just a kit car" and "they will look good going fast" trying to talk me into those pos wheels knowing they were wrong. And the programmer who actually made the mistake hasn't said a word to me. It certainly is hard for some to admit...

    Here is some pics- Rear center cap area- Front center cap area- Front supposed to be 9 1/8" back space- Rear supposed to be 10" bs- Rear supposed to be a 19x14. It is 14.5"- This is the area where it is supposed to follow the barrel at roughly 0.1" clearance- Here is the rear. Cut...

    Ya, hopefully nobody has had this bad of a dealing with them. About the only thing they got right was the diameter. It really was pretty brazen to first insult me with even sending me those wheels, but to add in an insult to the car itself, sent me over the top. All of this due to THEIR mistake...

    Ya, I get blown away at what some companies call customer service. Or, have little to no respect for their customers.
