It has been one week from when i pulled her out of the God forsaken AutoHanger service center. She is now up and running all issues solved and she has the most amazing growl and what a power house.

Everyone who visits the thread has a connection with the W140 brother so loyalist

.

She goes for the exhaust tomm and then we shall have some fun before she goes in again for the second half of her make over. I have lost months, so the time she spends with me is gonna be far less than what i would have wanted.

What Kind of Exhaust? Stock or something more down my alley?

Stock for now. The engine grunt is enough to send shivers down anyones spines. Later i plan to get the AMG stainless steel exhaust for her.

Awesome. Tell me when she is ready. I want a spin!1 After being in Turel's S320, and being shattered with the way the barge moves, yours will send in shivers for sure!!

She should be ready mechanically by next thursday. Five days for the exhaust, 2 days for tuneing. If i decide to have the cosmeticals done then a month.

Cyrus43 · 25th March 2010, 01:15

So the wait continues. Damn!! And what about the other car? The one we talked about the other day

Akshay1234 · 25th March 2010, 01:49

Akki_5 · 25th March 2010, 02:59

Nice to hear that speedy. Happy for you. All the hardwork paying off,enjoy her.
Was just wondering about the torque figures the engine churns out. Can you enlighten please ?

longhorn · 25th March 2010, 10:26

Nice to hear that she's almost on the road now. What was the issue with the ASR light? How was the problem solved?

leadf00t · 25th March 2010, 10:43

Great to hear that the issue has been resolved.

Really sloppy of Auto Hanger to take such a long time for something that could be fixed in a week.

waiting for pics of the car on road.
