Thanks mbz123. I'll digest that first thread. I'm not unfamiliar with modifying stuff - having built several (petrol powered) sports cars, etc. but the problem usually is I get too carried away and then the cars become so tuned they are no longer usable daily. This Benz is intended to be a car we use for a very long time, so I might just opt to do nothing to the engine, except perhaps sort out the crank case breather into a better solution so gases & carbon don't condense in the intake.

The number plate is a mechanism that is available for Skyline GT-R's here in Japan, but as it's not strictly legal is hard to get. I know the people well, who manufacture it though. The number plate needs to be mounted a little lower than standard to allow space for it to become horizontal when moving faster. I think it goes flat at around 60km/h, then returns to vertical position at slower speeds. If you'd like one, the price is $135 incl. postage from Japan to the US. PM me your e-mail address and I can send you a Paypal request for payment. Will take about 2-3 weeks to arrive to your door.
