Re: My new pimped van..

The brakes on it are the standards and they aren't upto much tbh, i intend to get some larger brakes from some merc or another, not sure which merc yet but like i said before, think the wheels are off an AMG E-Class and they fit without spacers so will prob look in that direction; brakes on it aren't worth spending any effort on so will just get saving

If you wanna talk money, catch me on msn

Liking the inside a lot - but I'm glad you said it hadn't been done with much 'attention to detail', as that's what I was thinking

Give me a shout if you need any pointers / tips with any of the trimming stuff mate.....

Re: My new pimped van..

Looks like something off 'Pimp My Ride' XD ....... would be even sweeter if you had a games console connected to that TV, would be an awesome chill out place

Re: My new pimped van..

@ Oakley: Updates, no other than i have lost the key atm nothing done.

@ Jamie: Cause i go camping alot during summer and just because i think its cool

@ Eynonz: It does have a games console.. has a PS2 in it at the mo which came with it. But as i said before it has 240volt inverter and spare plugs so i could put my xbox360 in there if i wanted or even the wii if i really wanted to break something lol. Also the headunit plays dvd's onto the TV and i'm looking at new headunit with digital tv outputs

not sure i've been to selby in it - i don't go there as often now my dad has moved out of selby. I may be wrong though, my memory isn't what it once was lol.

Got new key for it on Tuesday having lost it in the snow but the bugger didn't start - not sure if its to do with the replacement key or the fact its been cocooned in ice for 2 weeks without moving. I'll update when i know the score, it being outside a mates house proper in the middle of nowhere i'm finding it difficult to get over there with work and xmas looming.

Re: My new pimped van..

Hey peeps, forgot to update on this. I got the new key from Merc but they said when they plugged in their machine something doesn't respond and so they couldn't code the new key until it was fixed. I have dug out my OBD2 reader to plug it in see what it comes up with. Luckily my cousin found the old key and it still works so can drive it at least.

My advice to all is don't get dragged on a sledge behind a 4x4 with your car keys in your pocket very very silly!

@ Ghost: I still have a cinq 1.2 8v, the sei turbo and the stilo MW but open to offers on the cento's stilo is a work car now.

Looking to get a big brake upgrade atm bt cannot find anyone anywhere thats done one, which seems strange as everyone seems to complain the brakes a crap. Hoping i can fit some ML55 AMG brakes on there but getting my hands on a set to check out isn't easy. Standard brakes are 276mm vented dics whereas ML55 are 345mm vented, just a matter of whether the calipers will fit behind the wheels or not. Tarox do conversions but they are smaller than alot of standard merc brakes and are quite expensive!

Re: My new pimped van..

What a well kitted out van, bet the passengers love it!!

I have a set of 4 pot brembos from an ML, they work with 345mm discs (massive in reality) unfortunately I painted them blue, got them for a Bravo but due to complexity of making brackets it wasnt a viable option. Let me know if youre interested!

You have PM, looking at them in that pic doesn't look like it'll be hard to fit them to the van, don't think it'll be a straight sway but hey.

Edit: I wonder if they will fit under 18's?! I guess i can always get bigger wheels, i have seen wheels the same as mine in 20"
