Finally got my benz ! got of a 2001 GTI VR6 supercharged stage 2. i got a C230 sport sedan 1.8sc red. love it !
now im looking to get mods for this one. any recomendations as of whats the best chip, suspension, front lip etc etc. . ill post pics later the old car and the new car. im glad to be here !!

 

as for mods :

chipping : there are 2 that i know of which are powerchip and speedinovation.. i heard and seen and would high recommend speed inovationECU ... jesse and the crew are awesome ...

as for suspension it all depends on your budget... if you dont wanna spend much then you can just get springs :: id recommend HnR springs not bouncy and gives it an aggresive stance.

if money isnt an issue then you can get adjustable COs its starts from Tien basic CO which i believe start @ 800 or around that area.. then goes up the road from HnR KW biltein Pss9 then so on so on..

then as for front lip ... it seem like you got an 05 with amg kit? if so then as of right now they dont have front lip in production for the amg .. but you can vouch a company that can make a custom lip for you.. but you gotta coough up the doh .. if you dont then you can get a brabus front bumper or an expression front... if you dotn have the amg kit.. then there are couple of front lips out there.. like the carlsson front lip or the rieger front lip ...

it all depends on your budget.. well good luck modding bro and keep us updated and post pics asap.. where you located anyways?

 

Welcome to the MBWorld,

 

yeah i have the 05 6speed manual with the AMG kit. from what i can see the brands are pretty much the same as my VW. i have KW silverllines in my GTI. can i get the website for the chips? we have to sent the ECU i imagine. thanks forthe reponse.

 

you don't send ECU chips.
You get them to plug in, download your ECU code,
they modify it, send it back, and upload to reprogram your ECU.

 

thanks a lot man !! i seen u in almost every post with good info. im looking in the search right now to see about the folding mirror deal, see if i can do it.

OHH! I AM IN ORLANDO, FL.

 

Yeah thats waht i mean. i have to sent them my ECU. im asking because in my 98 GTI, i just took the stock ship and put the new one in. plug and play. inthe 01 GTI i did sent the ECU to GARRET "GIAC" and they did it all.

 

If you've got a convenience package (i.e. memory seats and electronic seats/steering wheel), most likely it'll be possible. For that, you definitely have to send an email to Steve and Wanda (MBenzNL). They are the specialists and great to do business with.

I don't think they do very many (if any) trips to that part of the East Coast, but I'm pretty sure this (folging mirrors) can be a DIY (Do It Yourself). Only problem is activating it through Star Diagnose System. (Gotta find a Indy shop that has the ability to activate for you, unless your dealership can do it).

 

no i dont have the memory seats/sterring wheel. my car was by what i was told the last 6speed manual down here. my car came from jacksonville.

 

Enjoy your new ride.

 

thanks man !! i love it ! is a little slow but nothing a good chip, pulley and exhaust can't solve

 

Not sure what needs to be done in that case. You'll have to hit up Steve (MBenzNL). I know it has been done, but how much more it costed, I'm not sure.

 

cool !! ill find out. is not a big deal to me. i prefer to get the cell phone pkg and the xennon headlights or chip before foldding mirrors

 

congratz and welcome

 

That was a lot of information that I ever saw. At least I got some good info out of your post for my ride. I'd like to get the Tein CO's before I get new wheels for my car. I don't want you guys saying my car looks like a 4X4 after I post pics.

 

I'm pretty sure Steve does both (not sure 'bout the phone package...never could use it before cuz I've got Sprint - even though Sprint offers bluetooth now due to the Nextel merger).

 

well im glad it help a little bit.,. heh

 

i think im going to have to get a new phone in order to get the phone kit

 

hey, welcome bro...enjoy your ride...everyone else is!

 

ohh yeah i am !! i only need now is to get the phone kit which i think is damm cool to have and the xennon lights is a most have

 

how much is the C55 spoiler and the CL grill go for ?? i know i know! use the search, but im new i can be excuse... for now

 

you really should search, but I'm feeling nice tonight....

C55 spoiler = neighborhood of $350 - $500 depending on dealership
Might want to try MBenzNL, he may still have some, but will need painting when you get it.

CL-style Grill = neighborhood of $150 go to ForMyMercedes.com
