Whats up guys & gals?

My Names Marc, I live in Australia. Just bought a 2002 C200 coupe. kompressor evolution. Silver with that light tan coloured interior. Dont get the car delivered until next week so im going a bit nutso. Ive spend the last 4 days reading almost every damn thread on this site relating to c200's and my girlfriend wants to kill me. but thats another story.

anyway, I'll be doing a few things to my merc much the same as you guys here ( saw Advans merc -DAMN) and i dont know a hell of a lot about mercs since this is my first one. Just about to sell my Honda prelude Vtir .. WHICH IM DAMN SICK OF. And move into one of the tasty little benzies you all know and love..... damn it i cant wait another week

Welcome! Update us with some pics when you get the car. It'll give you a good before/after if you plan on modding your car (especially if you're aiming to go as far as Advans).

ahhhh konichiwa.

yes hopefully tomorrow it will arrive, gotta wait for them to fit new tyres, detail it and have a roadworthy done. i cant wait any longer godammit.

now to sell this honda......

funny about the honda, as soon as i signed the paperwork for benzie, she started acting up... brake fluid dissappeared, alarm system BEEP BEEP sound went to a click click. AND FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, IT WONT GET DIRTY!!! I kid you not. The honda is acting much like a woman who knows she is getting dumped.

- will not lubricate
- silent treatment
- makes herself look pretty so she can find a man who will treat her better.

man, i feel like the dude in the transformers movie.... Whats funny is, i do feel kinda bad. I should see a psychiatrist....

either way, benzie is on her way and im getting prepped for some happy times. I saw a bolt on kit from some benz performance place to boost the 120Kw output to 137? Didnt have pricing details or anything, so i left it for now.... but definitely want to raise that 120Kw figure...

Whats this about the car learning your drive style? or am i just taking information i read from teh forums and turning it into fantasy stuffs.... I wouldnt be surprised tho.... from 96' prelude VTiR to 2002 benz is a quantam leap....

anyway, thanks for the welcome

so you want this:



since you have an older w203, the OEM iPod kit won't work. you'll have to buy a DICE iPod (aftermarket) unit but it won't look or act the same either...
