Want to be careful with the c63.

The whole catastrophic engine failure fault they have with the head bolts is costly.

How much is a c63 engine rebuild though?

People tend to have no issues coughing up $10k to $20k in GTR engine rebuilds once every few years :30_no_mouth:

or $100k every few events for burnout cars...

or $15k for OEM intake bits for their ferraris or $10k for a new bumper on their Lotus' or $2000 a year for new tyres on their BMW X5's or $10k on VW polo GTI engine when the pistons melt or $6k on BMW gearboxes when they throw an error code.

I dont know how people have money for rent/mortgage/food/school fees sometimes

Guys in the USA are getting quotes of 30-40k from the dealers. 10k+ from performance shops.

The headbolts back out and it dumps the coolant into the sump/bores and if it doesn't bend a rod or two it ruins the bearings as coolants a shit replacement for oil.

I'd be happy paying $10k plus for a c63 engine rebuild

Just tuned car back to the stock tune with the flash tuner, man I forgot how much the transmission tune limits the car but dropping power between changes.. on the bright side my car is farting again which is nice. Still feels pretty quick too, probably the traction I'm not used to having.

Had some old bloke look to buy it the other day and think he wants to have it inspected by a mechanic so figured should bring it back to stock tune.. also don't want old mate killing himself

Nope, I've basically returned car back to stock and re-uploaded pics & changed the ad description due to the people viewing it saying in the end it's too modified for their liking, too low, etc. 

I took him for a test drive in the wet anyway so wouldn't know the difference, if it were some young dude then I'd tell them about the tune but it seems all the people that have asked about the car want it stock standard. 

So stock brakes, wheels, suspension, tune is back on - which will bring me about ~5k anyway, the suspension and rims already gone.

Toll confirmed for worst courier around.
Took 15mins yesterday to book a pickup due severe language difficulties.
Get a call this morning from the driver, again with language difficulties, trying to find out where he needed to go. Had the wrong Street number at first, then turned out he had the wrong postcode and was in Canberra. f**king muppets. Would have been better off booking online.

Owner is a cashed up bogan who can't buy new Statesman or Caprice?

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
