Man, I've been somewhat MIA and I come back to threads like this? 
Has nobody been teaching the newbs how to STFF?
Anyhow, my car is slow. Don't listen to mig888. He has no clue what he's talking about. The m271 can't make any extra power at all.
In fact, prove that you have the money to spend first, before the vets keep spoon feeding you information you could've searched for in the first place.

M271 Secret Fix
All c230's with M271's have a secret fix for extra HP Gain. This does not apply to the M111.
You'll need a flat head screwdriver, torx bit socket set, and one philips screwdriver, preferably 60mm. All of these items can be bought at Wal-Mart.
Jack up the car on it's left side. It's MUCH easier if you have one of those things that garages have, they lift the car up off the ground completely, don't know what it's called, but I've seen them before, like when I went to get my car inspected, they put it on one of those things, and my car was off the ground
...anyways, get underneath the car. To the right of your exhaust there is a square covering, held on by torx screws. Remove the torx screws. Then, you have to push the covering up and towards the rear of the car, this will cause the covering to come out. Put your hand inside the opening. There is a fat kid in there. Remove him.
Now you can hit 60 in 5.8 seconds...
Let us know how it goes...

I heard from a guy with an Audi that if you port and polish your engine it helps gain a lot of HP. What you do is:
1. Buy a 5 LB. bag of fine grain sand from WalMart (this is important that it's from WalMart)
2. Open your airbox, remove the engine filter, and turn the engine on.
3. Now you open the bag of sand and slowly pour the sand through the airbox until it all gets sucked through the hose.
4. After the sand is all sucked in make sure you put a bucket at the exhaust tips to catch the excess sand from the engine porting.
5. When all the sand is in the bucket you can put the filter back on and close up the airbox.
This will give you approx. 15-20HP!!

And yes, WalMart has all the quality tools we need for these fixes. Especially the sand, fine grain...

C230k coupe 500sec convertible
i have all the bolt on mods available (except the segmiester porting) as well as the lower gear ratio in the rear
1. buy a 2002 m111 (MANUAL TRANSMISSION)
2. kleemann pullys
3. k&n or green filter
4. supersprint header
5. catco high flow cat
6. eisenmann exhaust
7. ECU remap (????)
8. lower gear ratio in differential (kep a spare differential when it goes)
9. steigmiester porting on the supercharger
10. enjoy the ride
or.... buy a big *** turbo and put it on the m111 and bend over (payment for mods)
I drove the wrx wanna be coupe with the turbo here in FL and I couldn't keep the rear tires on the road
as others have said---am sorry to say but the M271 is not so tunable and if you search you will find why it is so inconvenient

I say make it as fast as monetarily possible, just to sprint with in times of need, then kick back and mod to look good going around corners ;D. It's time to cruise these babies.

Wasn't this on the recall list? Might be better to have the dealer do it. If you do it yourself, there's a chance you might lose your fingers or your entire hand. I hear those things get really really hungry.

hey ctC230K have u done this to ur car yet, because i dont like to be the Ginny pig who messes up his car with an experiment, that may or may not work, im not denouncing the idea, nor am i a tech. but im just saying if its just word of mouth i dont want to be the 1st to try it, but if u can supply more than just the formula that would be great. thank you
I hear you can flush your car out with water too. Just hook your garden hose up to your dip stick hole.

You can always use the old hot-rodders trick of having a skanky bikini clad chick sit on the hood. 
Its hard to quantify how much actuall HP this adds, but top speed gains are usually substantial.
