I spotted an SL500 in one of the car parks in South Perth today.

90's I am guessing? Looked ok. Makes 322 bhp according to wiki w/ a 5 lt V8. f**king A!

/f**k me. I'm reading the wiki page on the SL Class. Some of the high end ones do 0-100 km/hr in the high 4's straight from the factory. Makes by humble GTST look agricultural in comparison. So much for hairdressers cars! lol

Haha imagine this CLK with a big block chevy in it ripping down the drag strip running 10's LOL

I was thinking of getting the number plates KOMPRESSA

Yeah i guess with a car like this i wouldn't plan on trying to rip a doughie or standstill - or i'd most probably try something

the plates KOMPRESSR are hanging in my dad's bar...

he's willing to get rid of them as he's got a E350 now, make an offer if you pick up a blown CLK

Ok, so i had a look at the CLK and it ends up it sold yesterday.

Soooo i went and had a look at a 2000 BMW 323Ci. It was fully optioned from factory bar the top of the range stereo. It has woodgrain, sunroof, leather, electric seats, etc.

I have never been a fan on the BMW's but i ended up buying it yesterday and i must say i am very happy with it - it drives so smooth, the stereo is awesome, it looks cool!

I'll get some pics up tonight - the car is factory standard :) the first thing it gets is tints, then deep dish rims and HID's ;)

Yeah a few other guys told me to go with the BMW's and i am happy i did as the BMW''s are much sportier and fun to drive than the Mercs - however i'll always like the Mercs lol.

Bubba just sit in the leather seats and I'll electrically adjust them while i style your hair ;) LOL

Yeah i have to admit, i am happy i brought it. It has a fair amount of power, well enough to do what i need but it sure ain't no Skyline!

No angel eyes unfrotunately :blush: One of my friends has the exact same car minus sunroof and he recently installed aftermarket headlights with the projectors+angel eyes and he said its completley farked up his electronics for some reason. I also asked him if the install was done properly and he said he pulled it apart and follwed the instructions to be sure and still screwed up...

So i'm just going to do like an 8000K HID kit, LED tail lights, deeeeeep dish rims and lowered. But the first thing it gets is 20% mirror tints :P

Noo! You NEED angel eyes, thats the whole point to buying a BMW! :blush: My mums ex-bf had a E39 530i and a E39 523i and put angel eyes in both, installed himself and no issues with either. But he did get the proper ones, costing around 1k a pair not the usual 300 ebay cheapies.

I'll guess the bimmer's black? :P

Nah the Bimmer is titanium silver :blush:

Yeah i'll eventually get around to doing the angel eyes, but i'll get a piar of the proper facotry ones that won't screw up - i just don't have the extra $1K on me at the moment - i'd rather do the tints and rims first :P

After roughly a week of driving i have chewed through a tank of petrol. I am currently averaging 9.8L/100km for city driving - i filled it up with BP Ultimate on Sunday night and have done 135kms since and still have well above 3/4 of a tank left.

I have to say, for a 2.5L straight 6 motor in a car that weighs roughly the same if not a little more than an R33 Skyline, I am pretty bloody impressed with the fuel economy. The engine makes 160hp @ the flywheel so it's a decent amount and enough to get me where i need to go....it has plenty of torque so it's a pretty pokey engine :thumbsup:

I've been real busy lately so i havn't had time to polish the car yet or take any photos but i should be able to get it done next weekend as this weekend is a camping trip XD

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
