Evooolution of my 2006 C350 6spd!

MBfinatic · 01-08-2012, 09:45 PM

So my C350 6speed finally came in today! This is my third W203 car! I must say I love this chassis. It is the best C class to this day.

Here are some pictures,

We met for the first time at Wal mart

I took her home with me,

Than I examined her

I drove about .6 miles on it home from wal mart. Not title, or plates yet..

I have a lot of mod plans for this car!

Congrats!! She is beautiful.

MBfinatic · 01-09-2012, 06:40 AM

Thank you. When I got the car yesterday I found some weird things wrong with it.. The panel under the coolant tank is missing. Also the bottom inner fender well of the driver side is cut (with a knife it seems like) and it opens up to the washer fluid? The car has some rock chips that I would expect for 28k miles. So I dont think it was in an accident and completely resprayed.. Im going to use a paint meter on it today and see what I can find!

Now I dont know were to start on this car for mods..

tommy · 01-09-2012, 09:31 AM

That's really weird - did you jack it up front and back and check the undercarriage all around? I'd check links, all undercladding, tires, etc.

Still, no reason to wait on mods.

MBfinatic · 01-09-2012, 12:38 PM

Not yet. Seems like the tires are dry rotting. Im about to take it to the shop and inspect it thoroughly and use a paint meter. I want to find out that first before the mods come. I have lots of plans for her!

It really is. It has some things I need to fix. But other than that its great. The previous owner did about 5k miles a year on this car..

samaritrey · 01-10-2012, 12:34 AM

Send me a PM or something

MBfinatic · 01-10-2012, 06:58 AM

Just sent!

tommy · 01-10-2012, 07:49 AM

Interesting that reverse is now to the left of 1st gear. Do you still have to lift up on the **** to slip it in R?

I'd take Trey up on his offer, he could do some cool things for your car. I'm sure his PM reply will clarify things for you.

LILBENZ230 · 01-10-2012, 10:00 AM

Yep, my car is much cooler after Trey got his hands on it. Looks like you have MB-Tex by the way, from your other thread you were asking..

What did he do exactly? Ok it still looks good enough for me.

MBfinatic · 01-10-2012, 04:16 PM

inside the rear window..

MBfinatic · 01-11-2012, 02:56 PM

I got my alignment today and it drives great. Its weird not having the dash not show (PRND)

LILBENZ230 · 01-11-2012, 03:39 PM

By weird you mean 2154811816511x better.

I am sooo jealous. Most people aspire to the C55.. you had one, right? You sold it for the C350 6MT? Now that's an enthusiast. Sorry C55, no manual transmission = fail.

Yes I had a 2004 C240 (auto)
Than a 2005 C55 (auto) These both were really great cars however.. C55 never had a car pull on her. She owned the Hampton roads highway

.
Now the 2006 C350 6spd. Great car. I didnt think this car would let the tires loose but it does. Makes me happy every time!

W203 FTW!

LILBENZ230 · 01-11-2012, 04:01 PM

That's pretty much the ONLY W203 I'd consider having now that I have a 2005 C230. I just wouldn't want the same car 2x, but that would be a different story.

03c320 · 01-11-2012, 04:52 PM

Nice man, cant wait to see it in person. if u need help with anything just hit me up and let me know!

I will need a lot of help soon. After the subaru is finally sold I can do some stuff.

LILBENZ230 · 01-11-2012, 05:47 PM

I'm not interested in buying any of them now. My 2005 looks like it's going to last to the point where all W203s are truly too old to consider as next cars. Right now the 07s are really kind of sitting on that border. My 05 was just 3 years old when I got it.

Good deal!

MBfinatic · 01-11-2012, 08:27 PM

Anyone know what the gains are from the
1. Obx headers?
2. 82mm throttle body?
3. Ecu tune?

I may stay away from the turbo since of tuning issues.. Anyone know what the gains are from those parts while staying N/A?
