Haha if I want to impress a girl then I can just take off my shirt... but if it has to be car related then at night I just have to exit or enter the car. Either way I'm stunting on a whole different level haha. Puddle lights. So worth it

nope, that's not it we sell those too actually. this is it- http://www.smartkeystarter.com/ retail for the unit alone without install is $799. i'm not saying the price i'm getting it for because i think they're sponsors on here and i don't need them cutting us off before we're even dealers.

Then would you be able to inform me if a new 4 channel amp will fit where the original amp is located? I'm trying to get one but need to make sure I can keep it where the stock one is to keep secrets from people haha.

Mr. Mehoff, almost a month and no update?
I'm bustin' at the seams wantin' to tell everyone
about your latest mods.

BTW I started a ASP Pulley Club (Kleeman and other brands ok too)
here on MB World and you're invited.
Spread the word to all those C230 Komp folks who've taken the plung to more power.
https://mbworld.org/forums/groups/as...ds-ok-too.html
Oh geez did I let the cat out of the bag?

Yes, Mr. Mehoff now has an ASP Pulley installled in his 2002 Coupey with manual tranny
installed under my 'supervision'. ha.
And wow, what was that I saw hanging off the exhaust pipe?
Was that a remus muffler with the remus resonator as well?
Probably the only one with the resonator.


I forgot to show you my offset AMG wheels.
Any interest? I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
I think they look better than the funnel wheels.
$400 for the set?

Time for new pics.

Not sure about the handshake, but
The secret questions are,
1. What is your favorite color.
And
2. "How many degrees before TDC do you need your pulley at
for the woodruff key to be facing straight up?"


(If you said 20 you are correct)

Aftermarket cat, if you're brave enough to do it in CA.

As far as interior parts, Potomac Parts is a pretty reliable wrecker source.
