so far all I've really been able to find for performance replacment parts is aftermarket springs. There's got to be more out there then that.? What shocks are you all running? anyone put a turbo or supercharger on? Aftermarket intake of any kind? headers? full custom exhaust? something? anything besides appearance stuff?

(speaking of appearance stuff.. the head lamps are like foggy .. a bunch of littel cracks in them.. anyone know of HID replament kit? or just new lenses? clear corner "euro" turn signals even??

someone must be a tinkerer like myself out there..

Hi, great car! Have a look on eBay there’s a guy selling stainless steel air boxes to replace the big inefficient one. Also, have a look on the web for super chargers and turbo chargers if you’re after high performance upgrades. There are a few companies that do it! I know you can stick sl500 brakes and shocks on the 300E too!!

Good luck!

Paul

Steel is pretty good at retaining heat. I wouldn't want an airbox that doesn't conduct heat efficiently.
