I Finally Got One!!! A 500e!!!
Hi Everyone,
After a long hunt, I finally picked up a 500E in California. This car is amazing not to mention FAST! I LOVE IT! It has 160K on it and runs and looks like a champ. It has a rebuilt trans, E-code headlights, rebuilt heads, new rear shocks, rebuilt AC system and maybe even a new wiring harness (Installation looks funky). It also has a Bergworks first gear start system on it too! Anyway, I just got it on Friday and now I'm ready to do some mods. I have already done,,,, yes already,,, a performance chip, which I have noticed a significant increase in power. I also purchased a set of 17X9 Carlsson rims, which will be installed soon. Other than that, I have a huge list of other mods I'm going to make immediately. ASR defeat Upgrade calipers Cross drilled front/ (rear?) rotors Front shocks Headers Complete exhaust system Fog lamps on bumper ( old ones have holes) I'm thinking of going with Denso Iridium plugs. Any comments? Air box These are the mods I want to start with. If anyone can make some suggestions on the parts above it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Adam

After admiring your 300E, I can't wait to see what you do with the 500.

Why not add Begwerks NOS kit to the list? I am looking forward to the C126 version for my stable. Cheers, Andrew Seidel.
