    Been a while since i updated

    I got 20,000 out of the rear PS4S but interestingly look like i will only get 25,000 out of the fronts. 

    Oil changes annually which is about 7000km, changed trans fluid, gasket filter and one time use aluminium bolts again as the change procedure only removes half the fluid.

    Car still running flawlessly but will look to change out all pulleys and belts shortly and the injectors after that. I have some new control arms to fit so when the front tires hit 3mm soon ill swap them out and get an alignment and new tires.

    I am glad to see you still have this.

    These M156 V8s really are something else.

    Funnily enough since between the last time I replied and now I have gone through 2 more 2012 C63s however both were white coupes and P31.

  2. Hi Andrew, can't believe I just saw this thread - I was talking to someone about the car and looking for my sell thread photos and stumbled across this! I had been keeping an eye on TradeMe to see if it would ever have been relisted. The car is looking great and loving the stuff you have done to it. I was a fan of the blacked out trim as I thought it looked more aggressive and the white and black interior was something special. I miss the noise this car would make and now considering to get back into another one! I'm sure you would agree now the facelift model was indefinitely much nicer than the 08-10 cars ;) I still look back at the photos.

  3. Hi all,

    I am based in Christchurch - currently looking for a E91 (preferred) or E90 for a daily driver.

    Max mileage looking below 150k kms. 

    I am looking for a Msport unless it is 2009+ LCI. Most other options to me aren't dealbreakers and aren't too important.

    Would also prefer a car with a good consistent service history.

    Thanks

     


  4. Hi folks,

    I am selling my Mercedes 2012 C63 AMG. 

    This is the facelifted model (2011+) with all the factory upgrade s to resolve the head bolt, lifters, etc present on the pre-facelift model. Other than fixing reliability issues, the facelifted models have DRLs, updated interior, updated gauge to a full colour screen, LED lights and biggest of all a much better gearbox (7 Speed MCT speedshift).

     Service completed last week at a Christchurch MB specialist therefore next service at 122,000kms with WOF to renewed next year. Tyres with a good amount of tread.

    Highly optioned from factory:

    - 6.2 V8 (451hp)

    - Factory two tone leather interior (White with black inserts)

    - Heated seats

    - NZ Navigation

    - Two way sunroof

    - Reversing Camera

    - Parking sensors

     

    Aftermarket parts added:

    - Escort Passport 9500ci Laser/Radar Detector/Jammers profession hardwired into the car ($2,000 USD) - I believe this is even better than the Valentine V1.

    - Addison Bit One DSP + DRC($1,300)

    - Alpine Amplifier + Alpine Type R Subwoofer

    - Trunk looks completely factory to hide away audio system

    - Window tints

    - Grills and badging has also been blacked out

    This was honestly once my realistic dream car and along with the aftermarket parts added it pains me to sell this but it's part of growing up.

    Mileage is 106,000kms but drives beautifully with servicing up to date. Comes with all factory manuals along with two original keys.

    This is one of the best sounding cars to be ever made. 

    I am asking $42,000 which will make it the best priced 2012 C63 in the country. Otherwise make me a realistic offer.

  5. Hi all, I just need some help identifying what kind of truck or ute this is on raised wheels.

    The driver followed my friend home and assaulted him ending with some cuts and minor concussion and fled the scene when his brother arrived to help.

    Im just wondering what make/model this truck is or if anyone knows someone with a similar car as they are collecting as much imformation as possible to pass onto police. Plate is TN or TJ something.

    Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

  6. I live in Singapore - there are nearly 100 Aventadors that live here in a country barely bigger than the size of Lake Taupo. Bizarre but true.

    The amazing thing is that considering a used low km Aventador costs over $1million there.

    Black Money from China. Is money they can't use in China. So it is smuggled out. Spent on luxury items. They are then sold 6 months down the line and returned to the families bank accounts. Well there is much more to the process. Best look it up.

    Thats a bit of a broad generalisation isn't it? Not all chinese students here are using black money. Car prices in New Zealand is cheap compared to any asian country excluding Japan so for them to buy a Lamborghini/Ferrari here is like buying a Porsche in their home country. Same again in buying a Porsche or Maserati here is like buying a BMW or Mercedes there.


  7. im kinda a porsche guy and wouldn't have noticed either!

    are the parts really that cross compatible still??? i knew they were back in the 1960s-70s-80s, one look at Magnus Walkers stuff tells you that!

    Maybe I instantly noticed it as this exact car was on TradeMe a few years back trying to sell between 40 - 50k.

    Looking at the rear it is a dead giveaway though.

    this is a very good link that shows the whole process of someone doing a full 996 - 997 external update to a very high standard. Seems like there is still some work that needs to go in.


  8. I wish people would realise that just because they don't care about their car, doesn't mean that a car next to them isn't someone else's pride and joy.

    + 10000

    When I was parking in Uni carpark and was sitting inside my car a girl getting into her car (a pre 1990 Mitsubishi hatchback) next to me just opened the door and slammed her door onto the side of my car when she was throwing her bag in. I was nearly raging when she slammed her door onto my car AGAIN when she was getting into her car. The thing is she didn't even bother to look over and acted like nothing had happened and drove off.
