After driving a couple of AMG 63's and a E63 AMG I can tell you that this car would be balll breaking stuff to drive.

When I drove the E63. Its not really the acceleration that gets you (even though it feels like your breaking into hyperspeed throughout ALL rpm range).. its the brakes. They just rip your face off. I jumed on the anchors and the seatbelt snaped into lock and almost hit my head on the steering wheel.

Clarkson always spoke about cooking Merc brakes after no time at all and never really being able to turn the traction control off. Thats because the brakes act as the first form of traction control to slow certain corners of the car to stop it from sliding. And then the car cuts off the trottle. By pushing the "traction controll off" button dosen't really do much. You need to put the car in "dyno mode". But its not common knowledge how to it. So not everyone knows.

Just a bit of useless knowledge and criticism against Clarkson :D

What a POS. I cant believe the Germans are so stupid, talk about 60s thinkign with regards to performance. The only way they know how to make a car quicker is to throw a bigger motor in it. I mean what the fark. 6.3L V8 in a small sedan. Get with the times!

Have you heard rumours that the next one is going to have pushrods and a leaf-sprung rear axle?

Awesome! When Mercedes-Ilmor first got involved in Indy Cars a few years back they used a pushrod V8 as the rules at the time meant that a pushrod engine could run more boost and a few other little things from memory. They read that and went great. and built the most powerful engine until the rules were changed :)

But alas, i was beign an idiot with my above post. If Holden bump up displacement they get persecuted, they are just keeping pace with the times :(

Not a huge fan of the C63 though, its hard to pull me off an RS4 but if i could easily do it for an E63

Just turned up at work,

3 changes of pants later got some pics, sorry bout the quality.

0-100 in 4.5 seconds. and sounds awsome, got a audio clip to if anyone wants to hear it.

Meh. My Forester will get to 100 in almost the same time, show it the way through the hills, blitz in the wet and it costs 1/5th the price.

Never been a fan of the C class...unless its a CLK

These new 63 AMG's are bloody fast... when i was competing at Mt Panorama they where using them as Pace Cars and when they set off, they went flying (and had a real awesome sound to them to)!!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
