well i guess we will have two races c230 vs c320 and c320 vs 330i 
looks like the c320 and 330i have same hp and about same weight so i guess it is up to gearing and who gets the better start.

Yeah springs, renntech shocks, and some other stuff replaced. sadly taking the car back in a few minutes. Forgot to have them figure out why when i hit the brakes at slow speeds i get a nice clunk. Only happens when cold it is very strange.

). So the clunk is from the left front lower control arm. So i have ordered both sides and will have the part put on as soon as it comes in.

So, I'm reading through your thread, on a MacBook Pro 15" i7, and after your lavish post about the compubeast you are planning on building you past that... Makes me sad. In the immortal words of Rodney King; "Can't we all just get along?"

got them from mattOh yesss sweet. Please take another picture when you can. Im getting the same ones. So when you can if you could please take a good picture. Like Glyn said springs will drop a little after they set.
I ordered those springs in dec but i was only told that they are on backorder for 2 months so i cancelled my order. Glad to see they are in stock again.
Can the green be seen from the rear at all?

Trey.. eat me. I love Booker, who is almost 4 years old.
Mike - one of the Apple stickers has fallen off. There were two, one each in the corner of the small windows in the back doors. I'll have to replace it.
Trey.. rims, ASAP. When are you coming to GA this month?

Depends on what needs to be done.
8 Kids wow

LOL, this one made me laugh (especially after the conversation I had with Karo last week) If you knew how many computers I had in my house (hint, I'm married and have a grand total of 8 kids), and that only three of them are Macs you'd understand. BTW, just to make things more interesting I'm posting this from my MacBook Pro running Windows 7 Ultimate!

So my day just got fun.
So after going to work at 6:30 on like no sleep I leave and hear something like a flat spot so i am like wtf the car only sat a few hours and i have never had this happen before in the g8. So it goes away with a wired bang so i was like ok a rock or something. Fast forward 5 minutes i pull into my community and go around a corner and the left front tire collapses. So I pull it into my driveway and take a look. So i go to the trunk to get the spare and find out all the car has is a compressor and tire sealant no tools or jack. Well i look at the tire and realize that the bead is broken so that is a lost cause even trying. So I called AAA and had to have them tow the car to a tire shop to have them patch the tire. and $35 later I have a drivable car again. In about an hour my parts for the c320 show up and i have to drive them to the shop and hour away so glad the tire was fixable. What a fun day
