I thought M62 and M45 both had the silencers Oh and I meant to reply again - I guess you have the option of an £80 pulley as you are running an M62 Unfortunately not, they list the M45 and M65 but not the M62. But nevermind, fixing the central locking, indicators sticking when hot and adjusting the windows is more important atm! Love the look of your car though! |

Could do with a polish too...   It had a good few coats of wax before winter - the water still beads up when rinsing after a wash - I never use polish if I can avoid it and I think it's probably best I avoid it with this finish - unless I want it glossed up for sale (unlikely) |

PHEA Rolling road day - every year Pistonheads East Anglia have a little rolling road day - last year I ran the LC but this year it booked up so quickly it appeared that I'd missed a chance to run the SLK however a few last min drop outs meant that a space became available Waiting for it's turn  On the dyno  1st run  2nd Run  Not bad for a car that's done 126,000 miles - originally they were rated at either 193 or 197 bhp At least now I have a base line for where it starts before I change the drive pulley for the supercharger |

Well not updated this for a while but I'm breaking it for parts as I need another project car like a hole in the head......
If anyone needs bits just shout
Engine and manual 6 speed box are perfect - no oil consumption and it's had regular changes all it's life - I was considering putting it in a kit car but that would be another project I don't need

So plan was to strip the car for parts - Mrs BC doesn't like this being done on the driveway Luckily I have a gate on the back of the garden so as we don't use the garden much in the winter plan was to strip it as parts were required  The wheels on the car went on ebay - so the track wheels got thrown under it while I listed other stuff on ebay I mentioned it in another thread and Donald asked if I would sell the running gear engine, box, diff, prop, rad, intercooler and all the ECU control as he was looking for a SLK to use as a donor for another project car I figured £650 would be good for that Donald then got asked what would I want for the whole car as it stood - my aim was to get £1,100 back from the car (I'd already sold some bits) so £1,000 would take it Today it now looks like this  Back garden back to being a garden again - just the track wheels remain to be put back in the shed Thanks Donald easy deal, great person to deal with, hope your project works out The End. |

I was going to say. It seems, like the Z3, the values are firming up on these as they thin out  . |
