    The front has finally been lowered too now. The ride is fine. Actually better than before,
    But I think It can still use some stiffer springs and sway bars because it hangs in fast corners

    (Yes I should have gone for coilovers, I know... )






    MOAR PICS
































    Another thing:
    I removed the resonator and had to make a short vid of it
    (That's item 3* of the list) klick*

    Noise is unbearable though. My ears nearly started bleeding due to a massive resonation between 1500 and 3500 rpm

    Well, at least it was fun for the shits & giggles...


    "oops"












    *klick* for VIDEO














    Eventually, what I would like to do, is removing the resonator permanently. Then replace that for a piece of stainless.
    And then halfway where the Y-split starts towards the passenger side exhaust tips, an electrical valve so I can have a noisy brab-brab-brab at the push of a button











    And ehm..... I had to bite the dust a little

      CARBON-hunt has begun!












      So I got myself this:











      (17*) klick*




      Some cleaning... (yawn):

      Oh and I went for a test fit of a set of 19" Staggered W215 CL-class AMG wheels:


      Specs:
      REARS: 285/30/R19 met Dunlop. ET 46
      FRONTS: 245/40/R19 met Dunlop. ET 44


      Too bad the offset was a bit too high (rear rubbed on the inside of the wheel well) and the front tires were way too tall (wouldn't fit on the struts).

      Such a shame because these wheels are my favorite for the car. And you don't see them that often in 19's...

      It would be solvable by adding spacers and replacing the front tires. But I wasn't up to that at that time...

      (NOTE: at THAT TIME.... )


      Up front the current 18's, At the rear the 285-wide 19's

        You know what would be even better for your exhaust...? Remove that silly piece where it goes down to 1 pipe and make it 2 pipes for the whole lengt, with an x-pipe behind the last pair of cats That should really give you a nice v8 burble

          That will come Bas, That will come eventually






          Went for a BBQ in Zwijndrecht with the Dutch chapter of this mighty S/W forum:


          Gathering at one of the Alfa-boys' places.



          Looking at some sexy Italian rears







          Was amazed by the fact that this car is somewhat practical
          Go figure I was actually aiming for a 350Z when I bought this thing....





          Some pics of the BBQ:




















          Oh and I picked up these badboys across the border in Belgium


















          TESTFIT:



          FRONTS:
          With a 15mm spacer, But without any bolts because I still needed to order some extended ones

          That's the reason why it hangs there on such a retarded angle
          Without spacers they'll hit the calipers. So spacers are neccessary l














          REARS:
          This is with a 15mm spacer. But I already ordered a set of 20mm.





          The rears in potato-quality:










          That would be all I guess......

              20mm Spacers and extended bolts are in! YEAAAH BOiiii !!!!














              Oh and then the bad news: All four of the 19" AMG's were crooked.


              There goes another € 250,- on repairs...



              Trust me on this one: NEVER BUY ANYTHING OF BELGIANS. (Sorry P, No hard feelings to you ofc. )

              AND THEN, FINALLY, THE MOMENT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR:


              The still-not-finished end-product! (wrong size tires)






              TADAAAA

                Looking good, like the subtle change the 19s give.

                  I'd be interested to see how it looks with double staggered wheels, so the 18's up front and the 19's in the rear. Looks great on the 19's though! Love the subtle change.

                    Thanks! Very curious now, as I will pick up the wheels tomorrow with the fresh tires

                    You mean this?
                    Looks retarded imho. Like a pregnant whale

                                I was a bit impatient. So I had to see what the current 18" looked like with the new spacers mounted.

                                Cant say I'm disappointed...
                                Although It rubs on the outer rear arches when I go over speedbumps or when I let in more than 1 passenger
