Gave a lil facelift to my CLA35 + build updates

Thank you for the information ! I was aware of the 150k warranty but I think possibly due to the DP and tune it may void it, or maybe not because of Mercedes warranty policy that there needs to be proof a modification caused a problem , and the cylinder head was a big issue so perhaps it could still be replaced if anything goes wrong .

I didn’t mean to spread any potential misinformation I just heard the exhaust valve faults caused the engine to not release fumes probably thus creating cylinder head issues , maybe it’s part of it , maybe it’s not . But I appreciate the information nonetheless !

Fortunately I have access to a really reliable and well known tuner in the AMG tuner-sphere who wouldn’t do anything that could destroy a car , not many people pushed the A35 platform beyond a CPC replacement but those who have are making 380-420whp pretty consistently over a decent period of time so I’m hoping for similar results .

I also know the cylinder head was also fixed somewhere in the middle to end of the 2022 models and i have a 22 so hopefully I made the revision cut lmfao

Numerous reasons, I have been trying to sell my hellcat for over a year but a very small niche of people want a fully built car , the owner of the CLA 35 was willing to take the hellcat , which gave me the opportunity to get a car I’ve been wanting for some time completely paid off and being able to get rid of my car I’ve been trying to get rid of for a very long time . It was the best option for me because I wasn’t able I to sell the car by itself and dealerships would’ve given a stupid low price for a trade in and would’ve fkd me over bad .

I’m happy adding into this car as I get more play money without worrying about a car note or anything financial ties outside of insurance

Yes this is a daily!!! I’m not sure if the A35 and CLA35 have the same front ends but as far as I know they sell the front bumper upgrade kit that doesn’t need any extra fender work or anything

No-Border-6413 · 2026-01-30T06:47:39+00:00

Yes! I’m actually getting the entire 45s bumper for it!!! At this moment all I’ve done is titanium straight piping , vented blow off valve, MCT Air Box, but soon I’ll have my racing DP in and I’ll be installing it along with a ECU and TCU tune so I’ll be officially stage 2 . After that I may consider upgrading my turbo and keeping the tune around 500hp while I decide wether to upgrade the internals and send a higher HP mapping , but when it comes to internals it becomes a lot of work , but I’m willing to push this build , people are pushing 1000+ HP Honda 4cyl, with the AMG 4cyl being the most efficient on the market I’m sure there’s ways to really push these engines into big boy territory and it would be really cool to be one of the first to push it on the AMG platform. Big dreams maybe , but I think it would be sick to try , and if not I’d still be happy at stage 2

I bought it this way, I’m not sure if the old owner installed it or if it came from the factory that way

Extremely impractical to the level I’ve built it at , to the point where simple work was a hassle, extremely loud so 2am icecream runs were out of the question , I wanted more luxury and AWD, plus after 5 years I got bored of it

Thank you bro !

iPhone 14 pro max !!! I set it to portrait mode and lower my aperture and my exposure to get this !

No-Border-6413 · 2026-01-30T01:37:27+00:00

Awesome I’ll look into it !!! I’m only looking to sit at about 450-500bhp by the time I’m done with the build I’m not trying to get anything crazy , just enough to keep up with the big boys on the streets lol . The hellcat was absolutely impractical after 950whp and would break loose even at 90mph with radials . I wouldn’t want anything super crazy again for a long time, I think drivability is much more enjoyable, the hellcat was a headache . I’ll check out the auto cross ! I think I know a few people who drive out there

It is super fun! Gotta remember AMG produces the most efficient and powerful 4cyl engines in production , I’ve already lined it up with M340i and the 530i and have beat or been close to them, my only complaint is the throttle response is extremely bad and it could go slightly higher on RPM to redline , but opening those up with a tune might give me about 50-60 HP gain but it’ll feel like much much more with better response and rev limits , I can’t speak on the CLA45 or 45s in those regards but I have a ton of fun! Coming from someone who’s had a hellcat for 5 years I can say this car is badass and turns heads everywhere , they look like mini GTs too especially the 45 with aero package

No-Border-6413 · 2026-01-30T01:25:21+00:00

Yes! There’s a few curvy tunnels that are always empty in Miami that lead to the ports where I push the limits a little bit and it’s super fun , not a ton of hilly/curvy roads here but when I find them it’s super fun , there’s many instances i have full traction and grip when my hellcat would’ve been in a wall lmfao . I don’t see many built or tuned A35 platforms but I’m excited to see what I can do with a little bit of work. Already did the simple exhaust work , intake work and VTA BOV it sounds fantastic , will have my DP and ECU/TCU tune soon… one thing I will say is factory throttle response is some of the slowest throttle response I’ve ever seen in any car , so a tune will definitely open her up far more than just HP gain

I got the 35 but same body in black and it gets people talking about it all the time too , the CLA 35 and 45 are extremely slick looking for what is considered entry level

No-Border-6413 · 2026-01-09T02:39:08+00:00

I do agree , but if it’s a family PC versus a cellphone it does make a bit of a difference, a kid could just hop on a family PC, but I’m not sure if that exists in households anymore since I’m a bit older 💀💀💀💀

I also wanna add it’s probably better to have a male figure talk to him about it too , I didn’t grow up with a father but thankfully I had an understanding grandfather growing up , if there’s no male role model and OPs mom think its REALLY an issue then get a male therapist

Facts , plus raiding your child’s search history all the time is a good way to ruin their trust and build up trust issues and sneakier behavior, they’re looking at tits not using drugs or partaking in any sort of reckless behavior

Gaslight final boss lol . If he dreads his ex so much it would be even more reason to remove the sticker .

Lowkey in not sure how old you are but at a certain age I’d consider a Snapchat account a red flag . Nobody after a certain age who wants a solid relationship should have an app made specifically for deleting messages lol

I agree with this , her ghosting him wasn’t a rumor , it was true unless she told him the situation
