I still have my CLK without any mod... i believe i'm not going to spend money on it.

Because, like i told sn00zie and Corey, something with a LS1 is waiting for me.
CLK 230K?
Yep, 230K coupé. I love that engine, very nice torque curve.
In the US our base CLK is the CLK320, and I find the 2.3 supercharged to be a fun engine in the US C230 Coupe, and sedan.
... But the CLK is lighter! Haha

ZR1s redone again. Used actual wheel paint and I clear coated them this time, versus last time when I used engine enamel.
If BF Goodrich makes these tires still next time I need tires, I will have these wheels stripped, polished, and then hit with clear powder coat. I think that would look amazing then.

Parts came in last week, installed these upgrades on three different days actually.
Old shackles:

New:

Hmm new shocks!!

And a part that should have been on the truck since the day it left the factory.....

Seriously, GM SUV's get a rear sway bar, the trucks aren't worthy or something? :ha

How it sits now:

I know, a bit random:

But my front bumper was missing two of these, glad they are there now. For holding the lower plastic portion to the upper chrome bumper.

it didn't have a rear sway bar?!?!?? is it riding less like a drunk roller coaster now? I hate how trucks ride :X

Yep, factory GM trucks, hell I think most 1/2 ton trucks normally don't. It didn't ride too horribly, but on bumps it used to jump all over the place.

Now with the upgrades I can corner way faster than I should with a truck and bumps don't make the rear end lose its composure.

If I had gone with the nitro drop 2s the ride would be a bit more cushiony, but we all know how I am. Handling, handling, handling.

Well some good news in the world of vehicles, got a grill and complete front bumper assembly yesterday for $120. I cannot wait to start putting this poor truck back together.
Once I get my hands on a passenger fender I will start rebuilding the front end, then deal with the door/rocker panel.

Keep useful things alive! :ha

Truck now has over 277k. Looking at doing a t56 swap down the road once employed.

A frog took up residence in my bumper....

Hmm what is wrong with this picture?
Posted Image
Sprayed some undercoat without much care
Posted Image

Finally unsmashed face!!!
Posted Image
It doesn't have factory spec gaps I'm sure and the outside of the replacement fender has some sloppily laid gray wheel coating on it, but hey looks way better than a few posts up.....

Also a few weeks ago before starting this truck deal I had gotten around to installing my Christmas gift. :ha
Posted Image

Hahah stereo install, whatever, we have all seen/done a few of these in our lifetime and this one is nothing special, just better than stock. If I want to use the 6x9s that came with the kit I will have to make a box for them.....
