285 bucks for a shift knob ??? Goshhhhhhhhh...

The pulley suddenly seems so so cheap

Yeah, but I'll bet that shift knob adds like 20 horsepower!! Especially with the Brabus logo and all......

Oh, the two bumpers basically look the same. Its only one is designed for stock exhaust and the other is designed for Brabus exhaust.

Nico, have you received my e-mail regarding the cup kit?

I don't have any contacts from Europe so I had a friend ask for the prices from Carlsson Japan and retail was like $2650 for the RS front bumper, $1700 for the rear bumper, and $1050 for the side skirts... all prices without shipping. He said street prices for Carlsson parts were roughly 25% off retail over there.... i'm not sure how much that helps you but I guess that at least gives you some ballpark idea of how much they can cost... heh in Japan anyways.

The RS kit is a limited production kit. Since it's so expensive, no one will stock them, the only thing that you can do is by special order. But Carlsson's marketing & sales are so poor in North America, the only "official" distributor that carries their product has nothing in stock, only a couple of wheels and lips. Unless you know someone in Germany who can buy directly from Carlsson, right now, its almost impossible to buy any Carlsson's new products in NA. They are only encouraging people to buy Brabus instead!! I feel sorry for them.

C230 Kompressor Coupe
Question Brabus on the C230K

I'm trying to juice up my Kompressor (`02) and Brabus came to mind. How much for a K3 Tuning kit? They supposedly put out 220hp. And what's this I hear about a 2.6 conversion?

The list on the K3 is 2,995, and a suggested install price of 600.

For those who don't know, the K3 is:
underdrive pulley
tensioner pulley
poly-v-belt (I'm sure that they put that in there to make people feel a little better about the price)
sport exhaust system

Don't know if there are any discounts from list price, but I kinda doubt it.

The 2.6 conversion is a VERY expensive mod. I think its about USD18000+. I was told no one has done it in North America yet. Who wants to be the first one?

I just type what my handy-dandy pdf file price list tells me. :p

Actually, if you look at this pic, it does have two pulleys.

C230 Kompressor SPORTS COUPE
The large on is def. a larger crank pully and I think the smaller pully is for the water pump so you don't over drive it, I think Kleemann if I am not mistaken also has these available with their kit, but do not remember for sure

2002 C230 Coupe(M111)
The 2.6 is just an overbored 2.3, right? Why the EFF does it cost 18K? That's BS. Get the block overbored at a machine shop, order some J&E pistons, and get back on the road for about 1200 bucks. What am I missing here?

The smaller pulley is for the alternator, because it is run off the same belt as the supercharger. So it is an underdrive pulley for the alternator to slow it back down. And yes, Kleemann also has this. I have it on my car.
