Just an Introduction

Hello all. I just wanted to introduce myself, and just say thank your for those that have already helped me transition into my new car. This will be my second merc. and love it. I have gone through many cars in my life, but nothing feels better than getting into a European/German car. I started with car modifications when I was 13, when my cousin took my to my first street race in San Diego. Ever since then my passion for cars have taken off. I started modifying cars in 1998 and ever since then, I've been personalizing every car I get. I have been in car shows, magazine coverage and races through out the years, sponsorships from different manufacturers, and a member of an elite car club here in Seattle.

Here are some pictures of my project cars, and I know it's not for everyone's taste.... but it is what it is.

Welcome to the site. I can see that your Benz isn't gonna stay stock for very long. What are your plans? Oh, & post some pics once you get all those Euroteck goodies installed.

Not really sure what I am going to do yet. I usually start slow.. get a feel for the car and the style.. then I start changing it up away from the normal of what everyone is doing to have different look. I usually try to get stuff that are rare, but we will see. I will post pix as soon as I put them on. I think I have to get a few pieces repainted first tho, also ... lower the car.

Loonie, I won't be able to give you that review. The distributor messed up on my order.. or lack there of an order. So I would have had to wait another 3 weeks. I backed out and just went with H&R, and got them in quick since they are only 1hour away from me. I will have my coils on the car tomorrow.

When I first had it, it was slammed.... rubbed a lot on dips and bumps and turns at certain speeds. So I raised it up today half an inch and trimmed some material from the area where the bumper meets the fender. So I'm sitting at about 25inches all around ground to fender at TDC.
