Hello, new member here
Hello, everyone
I finally received the C class, which took about 3 1/2 months. Yea, just like my Screen name says, its a 200k 4 banger.
However, with increase in gas price(full tank is 120USD) here in Korea, it is hard for me to pump every 3 days since it's my daily driver. So far, power seems enough for the horrible rush hours here. Haven't taken any pictures yet, but will do in near future. It's Artic White with Brownish interior, plus some other things like, pano, multimedia, p2 I believe, sport package... Planning to learn much from this forum.
PS. I paid $52k for a C200k
freakin tax.... what can I say, its tax...... evil government 
BTW, anyone with 4 banger quad exhaust sound clip, please share with me, as this is one of my plan for the near future. Thanks

Welcome 
A Merc is a Merc, no matter what's the engine. Some people do a lot of city driving, others do a lot of highway cruising. So, there's engines to suit everyone's needs and preferences.
Enjoy yours.

Thanks guys for warm welcome. Sadly, they did not offer manual versions here in Korea 
Oh well, traffic is as bad as it can be. Even with auto, its tiring, but manual is definately tiring which is a negative for a daily driver. My Nissan R34 is enough for clutch actions 
It is a very good engine indeed.

Well, everything seems well, except there are lots of people protesting against the government about the mad cow disease related issue. Not really sure since its none of my business, but people are getting hurt here and there, so it's definately not a bright thing to talk about.
Oh wow, I guess it's a lot better than how it is in Vietnam!!! Must be rich to buy a C class over there 
Thanks, and I see that there are cool people here already.
I know right? I thought 40USD in States was pricey before I left....It costs 20 dollars for me to fill up my Ducati which is insane!!! BTW thanks for the tip about the youtube.

^^^ Those prices are insane...
Well I took some pictures tonight, which came out not good at all. I think my hands shake too much, and it's too dark....Not really keen on taking pictures.
I will take more pictures later on, hopefully day time shots
sorry for lame pictures....
well, I can add my second to last project car that I did. I was able to achieve 412rhwp with 2jz-gte internals and small turbo. The last project was SC300 with 2jz-gte swap but had to relocate, so I abandoned in the middle.

hah, no, the IS300 was my other car which was daily driver, and on one of the picture with the engine, behind it there is a dark green car, which was SC300. The sc300's target was 800+rwhp but had to abandon. BTW, that's when I was state side.
