Bottom line not worth to make the 230 NA into a track car.

If you are really in love with the w203 and you have a passion then dump the 20k and make it into a track car.

If you just want a track car there are cheaper ways.

The question is easy. Do you have 20K to spend right now on the 230? If yes then PM me I can talk to a tuner shop.

If not and you still want a track car then sell your car and get an E46 M3.

 

You might be able to get a civic to hit 500hp if you dump 25k into it. I doubt youll hit 700tq though.

But @ the end of the day youll still have a civic

 

And since you care about steering buy an m3 or an evo... easy to mod too...

 

Yeah
+1 on Evo. Sti will work as well

 

STi still have a little oversteer or understeer... cant remember which one... unless you go with costworth(dono how to spell it)..

 

Good Point

 

dude just dont post here any more if ur gonna be a dick ....what i meant there was u know how a regualtr amg v8 sounds then if u ever heard the dtm v8s they have a high sound like v4s if u know what i mean like a formula 1 car i wanna know how thats done..and i dont know if u know this or not but the dtm c-classes are mid engined so please get ur stuff straight before u post and think u know sumething !!!!

 

Jay, there is no way you can make a c class sound like a formula one car. Just not possible. Reducing your v8 sound to a v4 sound should be the least of your worries.

 

this thread is going nowhere... FIRST... SEE WHAT YOU WRITING... need to read twice to understand... SECOND... THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS A V4, ITS AN INLINE 4... THIRD... YOU ARE THE ONE ASKING THE QUESTION... somebody giving you input is already good enough coz in reality this thread really going nowhere... so just keep your mouth shut damn... to summarize this... YOU GOT YOURSELF A WRONG CAR TO START WITH...

 

but i wanna be different every 1 has a sti and evo and m3 i want a challenge..and karo i appreciate ur time this lilbenz230 guys doesnt know **** !!! and karo a car with 201 hp about 170 rwhp... i doubt that with a sc,ecu,headers and custon race exhaust ,pulley,high flow throttle body,custom inake and u forgot that kleeman makes ss cams 2 lol i dont think that with all of that ull only be making around 275 ..i guarante u ill bemaking above 330 rwhp no doubt about it..

 

dude please dont get mad because ur stuck with a c230 coupe lol jkjk but really please just let me be just answer if u want if not shut up adn yes this thread is going places trust me

 

does any one know if the amg blower is bettter than the kleeman and what would u guys think if u did a e46 m43 engine swap arent those engine light ??? please dont be mean guys

 

read around... one people had put a turbocharger and other many other but still only got 290ish... go get yourself a nissan skyline r34 if you want to stand out...

 

cant you read? Drives: C320 coupe... OMG... + I will be selling the car within 2 year time... so dont want to do any engine mod... if not I have already put a turbocharger or supercharger with the amount of money spent on my cosmetic mod...

 

wow u guys are still posting up here pleae get outa here and who cares the coupes are hideous dont u realizeee

YOU'RE STUPID, YOU ARE HERE INSULTING KNOWLEDGEABLE MEMBERS AND YOU CERTAINLY DON'T KNOW YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR A$$.

LAST TIME I'M POSTING ON THIS THREAD AND LAST TIME I'M GOING TO WASTE MY TIME ON SOME IDIOT.

hahaha he wants to do a E46 M3 engine swap.

First he had a C55 then it ended up to be his dads but he is going to do the mods but he is still in college (if that's what they call middle school nowdays).

Mod erase this humiliating thread. This guy is a disgrace to MB owners.

I never had anything against you but when you insult members who obviously know 100 times more than you then you deserve to be treated this way.

Don't worry guys 2 1/2 months left till school starts for this child and he wont ask stupid questions anymore.

 

Better off stickying this thread for some laughs.

Jay, if you want an e46 engine, buy an e46. If your using dads wallet, but a civic and do a ferrari swap. Thats sure to turn some heads

 

cant do a faceplant... damn... haha... frank I need your faceplant...

+1 on what karo said... good job saying it...

 

lol karo ur funnyi insalted him because he said "a mid engined c-class" like i was stupid and all the dtm c-classes are mid engine lol ur getting mad for no reason bro lol and i still dont get y u guys say im in middle skool but thanks for the help though i still aprreciate it cuz but if u could just do 1 more thing for me and this is for karo only ..u said u knew sum 1 who was interested in dtm ..did u say he maid his car look like a dtm c-class?????

 

DTM C-class and W203 Production C-class = NOT THE SAME VEHICLE. You don't know V4 from I4, and I'm the one who doesn't know my stuff? I've forgotten more than you know.

 

First of all, you need to grow up! If you're in college, you should be able to form a grammatically correct sentence. The shift key is there for a reason, it's not that hard to use. Until you start typing like a big boy, you're going to be called a middle schooler. To be clear, I'm going to be a sophomore in college in the fall, and I have the ability to form coherent sentences and carry on intelligent conversations.

If you want your w203 to be mid-engined, you will have to rip apart the car and rebuild it. If you (or your dad) have the money to spend indescriminantly, then stop talking out your *** and do it already. If you want to gain any bit of respect, then show us a production w203 that you yourself turned into a DTM twin. If you don't have the money, and I'm pretty sure you don't, then stop pretending and ask us to help you with your realistic goals. No one buys a non-AMG w203 for speed, at least not in the US.

 

no ur wrong these people just assume stuff becase i know that its inline 4 but i didnt know how to say it so wat ever

 

lol im not trying to type good on the internte its not like im writing a essay and thanx for the bit of help u gave me i appreciate it

 

I think your best option, honestly, would be to invest in a C32 AMG. You will get an identical looking car, with more power, for a lower price. Then you will have more money to play around with the car, and more power potential. You will have the pre-facelift interior, but if you plan on just tracking this car, the interior aesthetics are not a priority.
