Ps, the barry yellow Audi isnt mine - its a neighbours

c-class
jstrat doesnt have 300-340, he has a 4 cylinder c-class, the C230 i believe if it aint the kompressor it makes about 150hp while the c230 kompressor is about 194, so it would seem IMPOSSIBLE that he claims his w202 can produce almost double the stock hp.

plus he has not Dyno proof of his TRUE horsepower, so what he claims in false info. today he can say he's got 300hp, tomorow he can say he's got 340, and the day after he can say he's actually got 360hp. its all BULLSHYT without the dyno tests.

debadge? take off all of the emblems? why?
And the intake was cheap so that is a plus (like $65) from checker and I notice some more HP/torque between 3500-4500 RPMs. Plus it sounds like a Ferrari when you gun it (well, almost) I would say it was worth it... for $65
Oh and I attached a pic of the rims I was looking at..

Rear bumper looks super sharp BBW. Great example of putting thought into mods rather than just throwing as much money as possible at a car.

Just changed my stock grille with the Avantgarde grille Makes the car look much, much better hehe! Well worth it!!






Just another quick question; I have a 2000 W202 C240, and was wondering what's the optimum dimensions for some new rims? I'm thinking of getting some 18" Brabus replicas (see below), and was wondering what offset etc. I should get. I'm really noob when it comes to wheel dimensions lol. All I know so far is that I'll need to get them in 5x112 PCD?

Looking good! Are those 18" rims on your car? What're the dimensions for both the rims and the tyres? Did you have to roll the fenders or add any spacers?

Next up, CHANGE THE GRILLE!!
