If you can get some good coil overs second hand or otherwise it will make the car ride better than oem and be lower.

When buying a car even new always comes down to chance. You can't be sure of anything. For maintenance you can leave £2k a year aside as then your always covered. If your being a bit paranoid I wouldnt take out a loan aswell personally. Let's say the clutch goes. That's 1-1.5k, 4 tyres 600-900 and fuel is £100 a tank. If you have money in your pocket these aren't as bad but it might stretch you too thin with a big loan ontop. But if you can afford it go for a HR . I'd rather but an older one cash than a new one with a hefty loan but that's me.

Sounds like a good plan

I know what you mean. But if your still getting the light it might be new TB time

1. MSS, r888 or f1a2's 2. Performance friction discs with PF-01 pads.

Number 3 it should be flashing then solid. What rpm are you idling at?

Have you done the resets in order and properly? It took me about an hour or 2 to do them

Possibly. Motordyne actually buy back 03-05 lower plenums to make the mrev 2's. Thats in the states though.

The mrev will make slighlty better power due to better casting and smoother runners. Sand down your standard lower plenum and it will match an mrev2. Its just a ported/cleaned up 03 manifold

Very much doubt it TBH. Also as you said it would upset the maf and not the TB.

You was told crap but you took a hissy fit when told that

slated? You dont have a rev up. The mrev 2 is more similar to the DE lower plenum anyway. I dont think anyone on here will give you bad advice.

I would personally say get a HR as then it address your concerns over the fuel usage( ). A hr will cost you the same a month as they are the same on fuel, tyres and all sorts.

If its the 2006 model wouldnt it be more to do with the oval cylinders and high oil usage rather than 95ron a few times.

Sorry, but Mercs leave me cold. AMGs are also a bit chavvy. And hasn't the SL500 finished bottom of the JD Power survery every year, for the last ten years? Just lol.

If your buying a hr dont worry about it. If your buying a DE you most likely will be fine but if not maybe buy from a member

Sl55 Amg. Comfy. Fast. 1-2k will see you 600bhp.

You could be right but it your on a long sweeping corner I'm sure you have more grip acceleration steadily or staying at the same speed. If you put the clutch in it feels like you have less grip. As long as the wheels are in contact with the ground you will have grip. Grip is simply the friction generate by the tyre and the ground. This is determined by things like tyre compunction, temperature, road surface. You loss grip is the rotational force of the tyre is more than the friction been generated (wheel spin). You get liftoff oversteer in FWD cars because when you take the power off the front wheels all of a sudden gain MORE grip because they no longer have to accelerate. If the grip available to the front tyres is now more than that of rear tyres the car will oversteer. Than there's obviously wait transfer, which changes alot especially when you have 500bhp. Taking the foot off the accelerator can shift the weight off rear tyres which in turn can REDUCE grip. But they will still generate grip just relatively less. Am sure some one doing physics can correct me in much geared detail...I took one look at a mechanical engineering degree, saw the words Fluid dynamics and decided it sounded too hard so did something easier instead

You smash a pedal on a high powered 4wd mid corner and steering wheel turned it will oversteer. Then you let off the pedal and you don't have the 4wd grip. You only have that grip if there is power going through the wheels.

If you dont mind me asking roughly how much did it set you back. I need to replace my plastic one.

I've had one or 2 declined as sometimes you cant see the writing with the flash and once when it was on my car with my plate and attached video but no paper. A mod copy and pasted the text to me in a pm to save me retyping it

"brake" Bad spelling on that site Interesting! Keep me updated

Sikky (I think) has a off the shelf conversion kit.

About 1/2 to 3/4's of a tank depending on roads and they way you drive.
