HUGE PROGRESS ON THE MERCEDES AMG PROJECT!

In this video, we continue progress on the 2006 Mercedes CLS55 AMG. This rare (1 year only) beast has a Supercharged 5.4 liter V8 that makes some serious power and torque, but in this video, we focus on some aesthetic mods to help spruce up the exterior. We also do a spark plug change, which isn’t nearly as trivial as you might think it is!
All the parts for this build are available at store.throtl.com
Thank you, Adam @socaltires, and B @amgdoctor for all your help on this build!

I’m looking at MB CLS 550 06 , but there are some CLS 63 amg with around 50k for good price. But I’m scared that it’d going to have problems with it ,more than the other . What do you think ?? Thanks !

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

sweet sound and sweet ride.

[@Asgard2693]

Love spotting the continuity errors example you put the lip on the boot and then started cleaning the bolts but in the background you can see the new lip was missing.

[@mikeyortiz5446]

I’m not a big fan of AMG but the way this AMG is looking it’s making me wanna buy one

[@socaltiresstudio777]

You won't be disappointed. Best bang for your horsepower buck on the market.

[@wwdixiedancekings5042]

Really nice etiquette in friendly show and tell of attention to detail in their work. Tricks of the trade not withheld, surprising and generous of some obviously badass experts at what they do, and . Would hire these guys without asking what it costs. They would be right on the price and do the job like the professionals they are. I never watch these dang things all the way through but good job keeping things moving just right, compliments to the camera dude or dudette, whichever! The guy below is right about your own channel.

[@505Tempest]

Looks great! Any plans to put it on a chassis dyno? I’d be interested in the results. I’d guess 485rwhp 530rwtq. Looking forward to the next few videos. Maybe I missed it, how many miles are on this CLS55?

[@socaltiresstudio777]

A dyno video may be in the near future. Currently the car is sitting around 97k miles.

[@northamericanauto43]

M113 is probably the best AMG engine ever

Thank you 👊👊

[@05glisedan]

Maybe show how they use STAR to adjust height. Also which tune they use?

[@socaltiresstudio777]

We used the Eurocharged tune on this AMG. In the video before this one you can watch us talking about it and how it's done 👌. We can definitely take that into consideration and maybe do a video where we can show how we adjust height via STAR. Good suggestion 👍👍

[@nickolasabab5999]

Hey Mickey can you cut a single hair off of your beard on camera? Thanks. 😉 Edit: I like the new RX7 plate. 👌
