Gone but not forgotten C36
Talking Can't sleep...picking up my C36 this afternoon!!

Got up and I can't get back to sleep no more! ...This site has given me mood swings, and I finally took the plunge for a W202 AMG. And now, I'm 'Back2Benz' (pun intended). Gonna be getting a C36 today from a local private seller...really nice guy and looks like it took care of it too ...slight aesthetic mods. I'll post some pics soon. It's good to 'be back' and thanks for the encouragements.

I want to thank everyone in advance for the help that I'll be needing in maintaining this bad boy

edit--oh I 'almost' forgot....let the maintenance begin!!!!

Thanks! I'm really enjoying the comfortable ride of the H&R's with Bilstein Sport shocks...and IMO, the lowering is just perfect (can't ride too low due to the crazy LA streets)

That's good! Sounds like your previous owner took care some of the stuff already...How much did the wiring harness cost you?? Do you DIY?

The wiring harness cost me over $1000! Car was running fine but didnt want to take a risk frying the ECU. The original wires were crumbling when removed.

I'm gonna get the 90k done probably a when the car hits it, or a little earlier...that should cover some of the stuff that you have ^...How does your A/C feel? I just got it recharged and it's a little cooler, I'm gonna take a look at the a/c filter perhaps change it the charcoal one if needed.
