in the mail and on the way!

Haha. I've loved mercedes ever since I was 4 but sort of suspended my love when I started driving stick and couldn't find a benz in the u.s. Until TADA I found the coupe but bmw is pretty cool. Don't know about their quality but style I know can be amazing. Saw a black series near my house a few weeks ago. I was left speechless. Couldn't even gloat to my friends because they didn't get why I was gloating..

Jerkin

Can't wait!
So is the carbon fiber vinyl for the wing. So excited. I got a squeegee and the primer 94 tape. Hoping to do a hell of good job

C230 Mulac

yeah my very first car a 1983 300SD turbo diesel, that thing was a boat and a tank, very very slow but also very very comfortable. i got it in 2002 when i started driving, 207k on it, drove it for 2 years and put it up to 252k and sold iti wish i would have kept it, it was an amazing car

don't get me wrong, bmw still makes sick cars but i feel like their aesthetics have gone down with their last two fleets. i love the e46 m3(i think e46 is the right one, don't know as much about them as MB). i just think MB has definitely kept their style looking good, and very classy. i went through a string of VW after the 300SD but last june i was looking for a Audi a4 or bmw 3 series, wasn't even thinking about MB cause i wanted a stick, then i ran into the 2006 c230 sport with a 6spd and bought it on the spot. i think i'll be driving MB for the rest of my life

although my ultimate garage would be one of each, MB, BMW, Audi

Jerkin

One of each sounds good. But for now it's my coupe clk63 black series e46m3 and e36 audi tt rs I believe and an s4 maybe s8 plus many more

C230 Mulac

for me it would be SL65 AMG Black Series, BMW M5, Audi RS6(gotta love that V10!)

Jerkin

Yes I forgot the m5. Old and new. Also a 190e evolution would be sick. And you have a great list. I'd also want the e63 and c63 black series of course haha

Jerkin

Just finished vinyling my roof wing... don't know if i did a good job.. but overall the most of it looks good. looks good in the picture but i had to cut seperate pieces for where it curves on the back...wanted to avoid the creases.. got two though. but not too bad. tell me how the look of carbon fiber looks

Jerkin

can't wait for them pedals... email me some pictures of your coupe.. it looks really nice

Midnight Koop

Alright I'll check it out. I think I need to inkwell the edges of my spoiler and put some 94 tape primer

Mr. Mehoff. So, leather interior is in your future?
Yeah, good idea to find it used.
I've seen the whole interior for like $500.
Or a whole car wrecked for under 2 grand.
You could take the interior and sell the rest.

Jerkin

lol i know i've been searching and searching! do you know any good wreck yards in san jose?
my dad said there is a good one in sacremento and i might have to call and drive up there... but doing hitting people up for now... and yes leather interior is a must!



that's the m271 engine right? does anyone know where the air filter is? ( not the cabin) and how i can take off the engine covers

C230 Sport Coup

I heard there's one in Stockton from Rick of Rick's mercedes in Scotts Valley. Let me know if you go, I'd like you to check on something for me, if you can. Price and if they have it....
Your pic below is M111 engine. Not M271.
Engine covers just pull them up, the 2 by the oil dipstick.
You'll find your oil filter and power steering fluid reservoir there.

Jerkin

so i just straight up pull up? and the air filter is there as well? interesting. i'm so excited to install my spoiler. it turned out really well :
and today i'm going to do the upper portion of the grill just need to get the new grill and i can do the rest. do you know about if the one piece or three piece spoiler is better? i want that rear spoiler but i don't know where to get it or which one is better.. i came across a replica of the three piece but i automatically thought that would be such a hassle to align....

C230 Sport Coup

The air filter is the piece in the front with hoses attached.
Flip the clip on the intake to the left, and undo the hose clamp.
The whole unit pulls straight up and out.
This how you access the belts etc.

Make sure you get the rubber hose lined up correctly when going back in.
The get to the actual filter use torx driver to undo housing.
Order your filter online for about $10 from places like rockauto.com
along with a cabin filter.

Jerkin

10 bucks? But I want a k & n filter... I thought that was a filter for the supercharger...

the place where it says mercedes benz is the intake right? (just double checking )


p.s. thank you midnight koop for the pedals... just got them in... already installed haha... i feel like i have to keep devising my own way of installing these items such as speakers and these pedals... how did everyone else install theirs i wonder...

Jerkin

NEW PEDALS!!!!! WOOT WOOT. should have been doing my econ project but instead i installed this... haha

Midnight Koop

lookin reeeal nice! gives me second thoughts about selling them!

btw... i think jbspeed recommended to remove the rubber covering and drill into the base of the pedal directly so it will hold up more securely.

i can't tell if you did into the rubber or base pedal in the pics.

i hope they treat you well!

Jerkin

yeah i was going to try and do it without the rubber covering but had to end up doing it with it because the actual pedal i believe wasn't big enough... but i did it pretty securely.. kind of more work but it all worked out in the end ( good eye ) if someone knows how to do it without the cover then hook me up with that info lol

also the upper moulding of the grill... if someone knows how to take off that chrome part and deattach it... need some info on that.. was not able to do it lol.

MIKESV8

Max, I'm putting a remote start system on my car tomorrow that starts the car with my droid or factory key! I know you'd probably want it too, so I'll let you know how it goes

Jerkin

sounds like something i'd be interested in haha

would it work on manual?

Jerkin

anyone know if this is a good site to get the mattig grill off of?

http://www.tuningzubehor.com/cfb.asp...&veh=120&cso=0

i refered back to ebay to buy the replica... and i just couldn't find them anymore.. was so dissapointed... but i'll check back over time.. but as back up is that site trusting enough to buy that mattig grille? ( don't trust buying online haha)

Midnight Koop

i actually looked into that... but if you're in gear... it could potentially be a "remote-stall"!

Jerkin

Haha I know. I don't know if there will be a purpose for me because my car is always parked in gear so I'd F myself every morning
