Due to my being a complete dumbass, my H22A4 got shot to hell, so I did a JDM 5 spd swap. I never wanna go through that again... Some jackass at school decided to put his knee in my hood (sorry, no pics of my fucked up hood), so I got a VIS CF hood. Anyways, here's some pics.

The Weave:



JDM H22A

Money Shot

Anthony (PrecisionH23A) did the swap. He did a great job, though it did take longer than expected. I also still need to get the valves adjusted; next on my list. I have a Greddy front lip, Mugen replica sideskirts, and a WW RS rear lip sitting in my basement, waiting to be put on whenever I get the time and money. Let me know what you guys think. And yes they are 18's and I know I need new wheels.
Also got some pics of my bro's car (318 convertable), my dad's car (M3) and my dad's soon to be new car (SLK55) Enjoy.

Sliptronic () to 5 speed gets a from me.

Looks good!

 

Is your bro on DTMpower.net? I'm not a member there but I think I've seen his car on there when I was just browsing

Good move with the 5 speed swap

 

Yah, he's a member there. More of a postwhore than anything. And the 5 speed beats the hell out of the auto any day.

 

Good stuff, always nice to see good looking cars in NC. I think i've seen your bros car on r3v.

 

Haha. Your dad's a baller !

 

Yah, his job lets him get these nice *** cars. He's getting rid of the M3 shortly though, which sucks, to get a 4Runner as a daily.

 

 

m3 to Slk? talk about a downgrade

 

Eh, they're about the same. SLK 55 is the AMG version of the SL 350. It has 362 hp and 372 f/tq vs. 333 hp and ~270 f/tq with the M3.

 

Nice lude.

 

got any pics that show your whole car from the side? nice cars

 

This is the best I have

 

I love teh new SLK, so HOT.
