Lol that was my intention to but it doesn't really get that cold around where I'm from but it would be nice. Have it warm. But I would never be able to use the feature

i'm actually getting it installed next tuesday, i was unable to find the right price for a while (i found one person who would sell it to me for cost) but the advantages are you can show off to chicks when you start your car from your cell phone!

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.

I don't know the dimensions of the stock one but I was thinking maybe an alpine amp would fit because they make small ones

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)

I got good news for you... My boy loves your speakers and he wants a pair. He's got a e36 328i do you have the cedarslink speakers in those sizes yet? And I need to stop by because I need something replaced that was broken last time but it's a small piece part of the double din adapter. (little plastic piece that goes on top)

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.

you could do headers with a racing cat and a 3 inch exhaust system.
