I am curious about porting and polishing the head, although I do not know much about the quality of the casting. Anyone have any experience with doing this to a Benz?

Oh, and I want a pulley!

There should be no problem porting and polishing the head.

Just make sure you get it done by someone with GOOD experience and a flow bench.

Bigger isn't always better when porting and polishing, and hacker might create and end result that's worse than what he started with. Plus, taking off the head costs big $$$.

I was thinking about getting the same carlsson bodykit, i think it looks sleek, but whats up with the grill? is that a horse? lol I'm confused! Looks cool though. Quick question: would it be weird/ tacky if brands were mixed, i.e. carlsson kit, lorinser wheels, kleemann spoiler? I doubt it will be tacky but just a thought. Oh i also have a question about the european license plates, are the brand name ones availiable? like the ones that say lorinser, brabus, etc, because after i add some stuff to my car i want one of those, but then if i get mixed brands which plate should i get? I know they have personalized european plates on ebay maybe i'll settle for one of those. heres the link if anyone wants it:

Maybe i should stick to one brand, oh well i have a lot of time to think about it, it's either pay for mods for the car or college, tough choice (but college won lol).

By the way, you have good taste Scylas (of course you got a benz lol)

Beware of porting - you may actually reduce low-end torque to unacceptable levels. Only allow a shop with proven dyno results (which isolate the effect of the porting) near your car.

As far as modifications are concerned, the more C 230 K owners that do this, the more I'll be inclined to leave our car bone stock - for the uniqueness factor, you understand

benzy230

port-polish....oh yeah! do it!, exhuast, nitrious, suspension, pulley, computer, anything and everything you want can be done!!

and as for your taste in body kits..i like it!

tommy

I like that bodykit alot. Have you looked into prices yet? I'd assume that it's going to be cheaper than a stock ccoupe amg pkg, or Brabus.

As far as mixing and matching, no biggie. So far, I've got Renntech and Brabus stuff (all show and no go) - I just need to buy some Carlsson and Lorinser, and I'll have the full range.

Vy Vy - that's the carlsson horse on the grill, I'm not a big fan of that. I'd either stick with stock, or get a grill that has no emblem on it.

well guys im gonna do sumtin im against and that is give away my ideas and tell u exactly what im gonna do to my car when it comes in...#1 the stock 17 inch rims r going to b painted flat black and the brake calipers r going to b red #2 the car is going to be slammed with kw coilovers as low as possible #3 the carlsson front lip left black to contrast the red of the car (also to go with the wheels and also so i dont have to worry about scraping the lip...plus black lips look really good #4 im getting a JUN L type muffler and supersprint headers and taking out the cat and doing custom piping #5 custom cold air intake when i find a place that i trust #6 kleeman boost kit #7 upsolute chip ...and thats about it for now if i can think of anything else i will let u gusy know....and i hope u guys dont steal my ideas lol good luck with your mods guys :p

benzy230

make sure you powder coat your wheels and not spray paint!

WyattEarp

I don't know about anyone else slammed but I promise I won't steal your ideas.

sal

LOL...let me tell you Wyatt i've never posted on any of your other posts but you always crack me up, and do the people you **** off. Keep the truth and your opions coming.

benzy230

haha...that was pretty good...

chuckd94

I have to agree with you Wyatt.

I dread the day I see someone asking about neon

QC1

Its hard to find performance parts. I want to add a Header-Exhaust system and I cant find any. I also want to add a Cold Air Intake, Modify the Computer, Pulleys, & Cams. But I have no idea where to find any. Anyone know?

BlackC230Coupe

LOL to WyattEarp

And by the way i am planing on getting

1. brabus body or maybe the carlson kit with lorinser side skirts
2. renntech full exhaust
3. upsolute chip.
4. keemann pully.
and thats about it once i have all that i will be very happy maybe after thats all done i will think of getting a dvd player in the car but thats about it.
