There's no point in having BBK if the front end dives everytime you hit the brakes, BBK or no BBK.
The stock suspension in 2002 makes the car feel like a wallowing mass of whale blubber. New springs and sways, its close to a BMW in handling.
I'd say my car handles as well as any BMW now, but that took some $$$
with the adjustable dampeners, and offset wheels.

A K&N or any other oil based "performance" air filter will provide NO performance gain, and WILL mess up your car.
Buellwinkle proved this many years ago.
NO performance gains, a waste of money.
With a pulley the ITG provided 2 HP, but only with the pulley.
The ITG clogged up the inside of my piping and intercooler,
caused valves to get stuck closed, and I went through 2 MAF's.
Thankfully under warranty. I run stock filters.
I heard recently of a dry filter that might provide better flow, but at 60 bucks and nothing to back it up...junk.
Save your money for a pulley.
Or even just the sway bars.

Just start with the C32 sway bars. You can't go wrong.
about 150-200, and you can install yourself easily.

 

problem, rear sun shade for sunroof isnt closing, motor, fuse? what should I check? also has any but gauges in their car, thinking about boost and other guages. lmk, thanks

 

whats a good site for performance parts?

 

i saw somewhere looking around a c230 coupe with carbon fiber hood. does anyone know where i could get one and also headlights for the coupe, driving on the freeway and i thought it was a bag. guess something was inside but broke my headlights and dented my hood .

 

looking for the bi-xenons

 

How about you buy something, anything first?

We know you are into your Coupe. But, for goodness sakes, your q's are getting inane.

you should contact steve at mbenznl.com he might not have bixenons in stock, but should have the clear halogens.

 

emrliquidlife how bout u stfu. its not like you know 100% everything. if you dont like my q's then dont read them.

 

i asked steve bout the bixenons and havent heard a response yet. i went to mercedes and it was 1600 a peice

 

then buy them at the dealer.

 

did the dealer give you the part number(PN)? if you have it can you share? i was going to search for bixenons on oempartsdirect.com but dont have the PN.

 

You really need to STFF, your questions ARE getting pretty bad.

one more quip or insult such as this and

 

I'm not the first person to give you this input tough guy.

But given that I have a thread about dealing with sunroofs, perhaps you would be wise to take your own advice (STFU) and STF!

Don't be witty, just read and try to learn.

i searched the forums and only found a pic of the carbon hood but not where to get one so thats why i posted this. also about the part number they printed a sheet out and as soon as i find it ill post it up


heres the damage i trapped up the headlight just to keep it from fogging and not falling off till i get the new headlights.

i was going to get headers and some exhaust work but now i need headlight and hood. why would i buy them for 3200 plus tax if i can get them somewhere else but cheaper.

 

Coupe Bi-Xenon are very hard to come by and Steve may not have any.

Here are the coupe part numbers for whoever asked.

203 820 57 61 – Left side Bi-xenon
203 820 58 61 – Right side Bi-xenon

OEM parts direct sells them for $1287.40 per side.

 

Common problem, please search the forum for your answers. I know that I have covered this topic more than once in the past.

 

I got qouted $1800 at a used parts place. Again that was for used.

Valex, I'm not a D*ck, just someone who wants to help.

PM, or ask here if you want the companies contact info.

How about ecu chipping? I found that Speedtuning USA offers one. Does anyone else know of an alternate or better provider? I too have been looking for simple mods to my c230.

Also, what's it take to install one of those ECU chips in a MB?

 

valexv, MRose902:

try this site - STFF.com

 

what ur car look like now was what my car was stock,
this is what my car looked like when i sold it. the only think i was missing was it was not lowered.

 

beautiful.... where was i when you sold it?... did you get your bixenons from mbenznl?

 

Thx man. i was not a part of this form when i sold that car.
nop i got the Bi-Xenons and the AMG brakes from a local dealer here in Vancouver.

hey valex... i might have an extra pair of foggy headlights that i can let go of in the next month... i can also include slightly used 6000k xenons from carlabs that dont need programming (i still have the original box and instructions). PM me if you're interested, drop me an offer and maybe we can work something out.
