New to C32

Hi everyone! I've just recently purchased a 2002 C32, upgrade from my C280 sport. Since I bought it 1 month ago, I have already had to have the torque converter replaced, and quite a few other things. But, now it's running awesome!

It's definitely fast!

I have a question about mods. I always see people on here that have many modifications installed. Where should I start if I'm looking for better acceleration? How exactly would I install a pulley?

Thanks for the help!

I used to drive 97 C280 sport as well and loved it to death. It never stops running even though the CEL was constantly on, no matter what I replaced.

Regarding mods, go to eurocharged or needswings. Installation obviously depends on what kind of pulley you want (crank vs. sc), crank pulley in general will create more boost compared to sc pulley and overdrives your accessory pulleys more, therefore creating the need for Pulley Saver Kit.

Do a search and enjoy the tons of reading regarding mods for C32.

Welcome to the forum!!! I would do some cheap mods first like res delete and intake then when you get used to the car, consider $$$ upgrades.
there's a whole lotta car to keep you busy 349hp stock
