man, do I need an exhaust or what !??!!

that thing is now bordering on embarrassing.

CitronC230K_03

hey carlos i was ondering, your tip is larger than a C230 coupe without C7. you didnt have C7 on your C320, was you tip always bigger. im planning on exhaust and front suspension like we talked about saturday. im happy with the rear i just wanna bring the front down some.

FrankW

long time away, but i'm sooo there...haha

CDP

Holy ****, That's so close to me. That's like 10 minutes away and I live by downtown disney. Good for me. I'll attend this one for sure. But I'll me slighty intimidated bringing a 1990 300E to the meet. haha

I was looking at the list and all I can say is wow. A lot of VW's and Audi's attending but it should be a good show since those are fairly nice cars when fixed up. Hopefully a lot more Benz owners will register....can that Hookers parking lot even accomidate that many cars?

CitronC230K_03

yeah there are always alot of VW's and audi's. the last time Frank was there, Sparissa , SleeperZZZ, a 190E 2.3, (2) 2004.5 C230WZ, myself and a SLK32. Frank and the SLK32 left early. we are tyring to get rmore MB's out at meets like this. otherwise we'll have more mini's than us.




i dont know. i dont go to hooters, food is way over priced, quality sucks, eye candy doesnt lure me. the last two so cal euro meets i went to were at the Old Ikea Parking lot in Tustin.

i remember now, i went to this last jan. there is a parking garage there with vendors on the top level. it gets packed and its a good turn out. this one doesnt include a drive this is just checking out cars. really diverse groups!

yes the parking lot can accomidate all the cars, the parking garage is like 4 stories or so.



true, but good to have it sceduled with enough time. so people can really try and make it to this one.

capt_paul

Yup,

That was me that drove from Las Vegas. I enjoyed meeting everyone at the meet and hope to join you guys and gals at the next get together. After seeing the mods in person, I plan on getting the xenon lights, convex mirrors, and the rear spoiler for my 230k.

The next day (Sunday) I cruised Hollywood Blvd and Beverly Hills before I drove home.

CDP

Sounds really good to me then. I can't wait. even though im going to be way tired cause the day before I'll be coming back from a trip from mammoth. but its worth it!

So I guess I have no reason to feel out of place with my old 300E along. I try to fix the minor damages in time for this meet.

bugzy

I think there's a lot of everything. Dont get me wrong, the VW's and Audi's usually represent the most.

But there's plenty of BMW and Mini's coming out. Looks like a pretty good list of Mercedes also.

The last NorCal vs SoCal, there were like 25 Volvos representing
so dont try to say your old E is old compared to a Volvo 242

i think our events are always fun and diverse ... dont forget the Raffle !!
We got a set of Toyo tires to raffle off


http://rsvp.socaleuro.com for more info

CDP

haha okay you win with the volvo. I can't wait for this even now. That picture is nice. I'll come equipped with my digital camera.

yeah, I be sure to enter the raffle just for kicks. I saw the items they are planning to give out. Pretty nice.

CitronC230K_03

glad you were able to come down for the meet and you got back safely.

dont worry about what model you dirve. we're here because we drive mercedes, we are seperated in the forums by our models. dont let it be that way at a meet. :p

Saprissa

Yup, that's the stock tip for a 2003 C320 Coupe.

There is an AMG coupe picture i have somewhere with dual-side single-tip exhaust. I'll have to dig it up and post it or send it to you.

Only thing I'm missing for a true C7 package is the steering wheel and removal of resonator. But I'm getting the Formula 1 AMG Safety Car Steering Wheel, so that should make up for it. And when I install the Euro Coupe AMG exhaust, I'll have the resonator removed too !

I'm going to kick the rear up just one small notch, and then add spacers to get the tires out just a little bit more and flush with the new AMG rear bumper and wheel well.

CitronC230K_03

yeah i have seen the dual tips on the C32 Coupe from mbspy.com. your car is looking great! i was wondering cuz we were parked next to each otehr and i remembered you didnt have C7. hard to tell now though!

FrankW

just get bigger rims and your problem is solved...hehe it'll look much better on ur already sweet car.

CitronC230K_03

i like carlos' rims. especially the centre caps.

Saprissa

Thanks. AMG Type 209 Style IV chrome staggered 17" (7.5 front / 8.5 rear) Centre caps: AMG Taiwan knock-offs. But much better than the ones on eBay. AMG doesn't make centre caps, btw.

Thanks. I kinda wished I would have gotten 18" wheels now. Maybe when these have played out a bit, I'll upgrade to something AMG newish in 18".

Thanks again. C7 almost done = (steering wheel & exhaust resonator).

CitronC230K_03's and ??? (blue Coupé) :


and a beautiful 1973 R107 450 SL, (who's the owner ???):

Saprissa

I think this is the 1986 420 SEL. correct ???


I feel like an @$$ cause I forgot the name of the owner. This car is sweet, beautifully restored paint job, really clean leather interior, and after-market Euro headlights.

W202's (C280) with REIGER kits:


Who were the owners of these 2 ???


Carlos

Saprissa@aol.com

Saprissa

Can't get enough of these brakes:



although the best feature is probably the GRRRRRR coming out of his exhaust...

CitronC230K_03

teddy was his name i think, the guy with the 420SEL. he called his car an 85 when i asked the year, but i think he was referring to production date. the 85 W126 s-classes were 380SE, 500SEL, and 300SD if i remember right. in 86 the was the facelift and new engines were introduced: 300, 420, 560. i looked at the production date on the door and it read 10/85. anyhow, he and krista chatted about tech's at the meet. they were disappointed there weren't more older models out there. hopefully we'll continue to get more in the future. the girl with the 450SL. they are both members on benzworld.org.
