I'm not a fan of the CLA in gernal, proportions look wrong. it kinda looks like a smaller AU falcon..

BUT when I saw a AMG CLA45 whole diff matter the skirts and body kit fix all the issues.

thing looks great.

Naw mang, buy a second hand Falcon GT for 50k - 1 year old, brembos, tune it for a grand got a mid 11 sec car chuck some semi slicks on and have some fun at the track if you want too.

Show me a comparable (new) car to this for 50k only other thing I looked at was the 335i but decided on a new GS instead.Then again I aint on dat dere baller spec cash like dezz. If you looking 100k why not just get a 35 GTR tune it on e85 with some mid pipes and be done with it.

Just research possible gearbox issues and what that might cost.. hell even rebuilding my gearbox costs a shitload!

straya!

"Hey Simon, what do you want for Christmas?"
"Money towards sway bars."
"I don't know what that is, but alright..."

Which sway bars should I be getting?

Are Whitelines Front and Rear Sway bars still the way to go? Will I need adjustable ones? 24mm? 27mm? What else is there to know about them? What are these end links and mount bushings that are on the Whiteline Website? Do I need them toooo?

I think I've already got slightly beefier ones than the GTST's came with, since I have the A-LSD model and a bunch of parts are tankier than usual...

Thanks in advance :touch:

(from pulsar experience with whiteline) non-adjustable are equivalent to medium settings on adjustable. The hardest settings are make the rear end pretty damn jumpy and I've spun out a few times when hitting uneven tarmac or something during corners.

with end links... the best:

(i dont know what length the R33 would want, the small ones fit the pulsar fine and kept the bar flat)

Cla is a bit of a stretch for a 4 cyl turbo. But has heaps of street presence, 265 kw fuel economy is actually in existence.. Full new warranty servicing etc financed. f**k those things go hard as well {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629514.469054.jpg{style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629527.069145.jpg{style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629537.984580.jpgThat's the work one lol {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629569.725000.jpg{style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1386629585.007289.jpgBut in saying that, driving dat v8 507 around last week was such a pleasure! Really have a different appreciation after getting in one. The normal c63 (non 507) go for about $100k at auctions. And that's stretching it. Should look into that as an option. May end up walking away with something better for a lot cheaperAnd not sAying this as a biased opinion.. The depreciation of BMW is fkn shocking. The safety features on merc seriously outrank the rest. And I've tested that at sandown lol

C63 amg or normal? I'd love one if I could pick one up at auction cheap...I'd even settle for a sedan. But guessing lease wouldn't be an option?

Lease my brother with my work I get mad returns on tax out of it otherwise id be cruisin in a Kia fo real.

Cla isn't as good in real life IMO something about the back slope seems goofy / less elegant than full size cls

Still nice though

If you want something nice Dezz id say spend 50-70 you'll get a very nice low kms good nick prestige car for that and you won't wear the pain of the 50% price drop in first 2 odd years

More than open to suggestions... I'm sure there's plenty of cars in the market I'm looking at that I don't even know about

You driven one yet?

Nope

just get a fezza dezzmang bitch magnet 

Hopefully one day...

You'll get a c63 sedan under a 100k just kms might be on the high side so you gotta think about maintenance lack of warranty if something breaks etc

Suggestions are hard what's main criteria?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
