Nope running stock SS 05+ suspension, I was thinking of putting on some coils but I think I might be selling the car soon. Still iffy about if I want to put more money in this car and get some BI-xeons, more CF parts, coils, and just alot of other things I have in mind or to just part out all the after market stuff on it and sell it and get a 06+ CLK coupe and mod that. I see your in San Jose, have you came out to any of the black list meets here in the bay?

I mean a CLK would give me a similar amount of cost as the C would, I decided if I do get a CLK I would go with the AMG though and just get either a 320 or a 500

Some pics and an update

In the past month I haven't been doing to much modding to the sedan considering that I am debating on keeping it or selling it and with all the money I am spending on the coupe right now. But heres some quick pics and updates on everything.

I took a trip down to Irvine a few weekends ago and it seemed like everyone at my hotel had a sick benz. I even saw one of the mini van benzs as a taxi. The sickest was a white SLS that I saw, of course I had to snap a quick pic for you guys.


The other day I really wanted to get some moving pics of my car so I took a few with my iphone, they didn't come out to great so I really want to get a proper photo shoot done soon with some moving pics, I have a friend who is a professional photographer who said would do it for free so that will be coming as soon as I get done with finals.




Jumping my car




Visiting the coupe while its at the body shop




I just really like this pic for some reason





O and the best thing, I found a way to not have to spend time washing my car or paying for car washes. Have girls come over and do it for me

So this is my 1000th post so I figured it should be on my build thread. Just want to say thanks to everyone here on MBworld for all of your incite and help threw out my build and all of the issues that have came along my way. If it wasn't for this forum my car would still be 100% stock

Gotta admit, your car is blazin'. Never thought in a million years I would like Pewter or Silver Benzes. Always went with black and red but you and others have made a believer out of me I hope you hold onto it but the heart wants what the heart wants. At least you stickin' with the brand

Thanks! honistly I never thought I would like a pewter benz either. I always thought black is the only color to go on a benz. Something about the pewter just struck out at me though when I was car shopping so I went with it. Next benz will be White with a lot of CF and black wheels

How awesome is this head unit?

Chapter 16: Stock intake

After a little more then 6 months of having my "Cold air Intake" I decided it just wasn't worth it. It feel off once again on the freeway and I decided going back to stock will be the best option. Thanks to my Employ family discount at the MB dealership I got the hose thingy for $29 and the filter from RM europen for a little under $30.



Also on the way to a meet I stopped to get gas, distracted talking to the rest of the group I was caravanning with to the meet, I drove off with the pump still in my car. Probably the stupidest thing I have ever done.


Pics from the meet didn't really turn out to good because I was using my iphone and it was dark




Also got a oil change done at MB Pleasanton and an alignment. $99 for the oil change and $69 for the alignment

Thats a good price, but I'd still say go with the AVH-4400BH Its worth it. I got mine at frys electronics for $430 the week it first got released. I saw one on amazon a while ago for $377 too

So what do they do in that situation? Looks like it is designed to detach without any damage to the car or the pump.

I'm guessing they try to write down his license plate number while he's doing a burnout to get out of there.

The 4400BH has blue tooth car phone, blue tooth music streaming, a bigger screen, has HDradio (not that I ever use that), and just a bunch of extra features.

They made me pay $107 on the spot. None of the workers at the gas station even noticed that it happened. I went inside and told him and then he came out side, filled out a forum, I paid, and it was pretty much over. It probably cost them $10 to fix it, all it is is a small bolt that comes detached and they replace that and its fine. They had the pump working the next day when I drove by.
