Eric, welcome back I mixed you and Jason's (kompman) up and when i went back to edit it it was too late--(it was a long time ago)-sorry to hear of your ongoing troubles and hope you didn't take offense to the previous post on you not knowing too much on the benz, I often forget i have been working on automobiles for years and have a little more hands on time on these cars than most (I do try to tackle anything I can so i don't have to pay anyone to do it.)

Anyway Hope hope you don't decide to leave it down there in CostaRica, it would be a shame and you may get better money for it here once you smooth out all the bumps (but who knows?) Have you had to replace the clutch yet?, i take it is not your daily driver due to the registration fees but run it at least once a month to keep the oil flowing.

you should post some current pictures, and definently if you have the extra funds not only fix the running isssues but do somthing a little different with the hood

best of luck-- BTW I liked the orion blue so much I bought my Fiance a blue 02 coupe as well

The car is functioning; however, the headers will need insulated better.

Never heard a bad compliment on the hood, until now. As a matter of fact, the hood is what people see first. If I do anything to the hood, I will make the opening into more of a scoop, further cooling the vehicle. Not a drastic scoop but like maybe 4 to 6".

The car looks beautiful with the blue and mirrored window tinting. I do need another hood badge for someone pried it off the vehicle. Can anyone help me with that? It was a heavy metallic one, not the cheesy plastic ones sold on eBay. Hood contains 2 holes, 1 for alignment and the other to fasten it with.

As for the blow off, the puttering you head maybe is due to the tuning it had.

sorry man, but i got the girl in the pic below---besides, I wouldn't want to ruin your brokeback mountain game!

Anyway.........Eric, he hood badge that you are looking for is the swap out kit that goes on the sedans, and there is a member here who sells the metal badges somewhere on here (maybe one of you can elaborate) for all the owners wanting to get rid of their stand up star------if not the plastic ones go for pennies and are easily replacable if someone tries to pry it off again

Do you have any numbers such as quarter mile times? Raced against any other street cars?

So there is still lil hope for a good ending?
BTW, this small turbo gives like 100hp? that's a lot!

Hope it works out.

keep us posted! and we want new pics now!

definitely get a new hood scoop, it just doesn't fit with the contours of the coupe.
