welcome to the forum. very nice C55. i think u might be the first c55 on the board.

 

welcome to the board Danijel,
now send me your motor, tranny, and instrument cluster ;p
j/k
awesome 55, what year is it? have you seen any others for sale, i'm curious on the price in euro, might pick one up sometime within next couple years to keep there as summertime car



in europe bigger wheels and lower profile is mostly a no no, depending on where you live, you gotta remember roads could be horrible in some places.

 

Hi Danijel,

Ulm, hm?

Nice car! Maybe we´ll meet each other in the Myers?

sweet, how much did you get it for? looks like it's in great condition.

 

Kwik, you still have the new C?
if so now which one do you preffer driving ?


btw
everytime I see that two tone interior on amg I'm about to hump
the hood of the car ;p


looks awesome grats

 

I picked it up for just a hair under $30K with Starmark. Yes, it's in pretty good shape, but a few repairs needed done before I could bring it home(poor radio recption, seat bolsters not working, rear deck rattle)

Yes, I still have the C230 coupe. It feels kinda wimpy now.

 

KWiK Do you have a solution to the rattle in the rear deck? It seems like its from the bose speaker grille. Anytime I play a song with strong bass the rear just rattles, very annoying.

 

I have to agree exactly. When heavy bass is playing it sounds like the rear deck of a Honda accord or something like that. Any solutions people?

 

i noticed it too sometime but it's not everyday even though i have lot of bass cd's

but might wanna open the trunk and see underneath there were the wiring is by the backseat release handles, hit with your palm see if there's any real movement and improvize from there

 

Guys

On mine the thing that rattle is the lid for First Aid Kit compartment..

(I don't have a fold-down rear seat, no it's definitely not the seat)

And I have the rear deck dynamat'ed....and the grill is attached tighter now..

Something I am thinking of making custom rear deck piece, so I won't have to deal with the rattle lid..


Regardz,

Hi Guys!

I have also this problem with this annoying sound in the rear.

I´ve searched the place where it comes from and I realized that this sound came from the Stoplight.

The Light is not mounted very well. Sometimes it hits the rear window.

Try this: Someone has to sit in the back and hold the light against the rear window and the other one turns the music on.

The noise disappeard at my car!

To fix the rattle, my dealer replaced the 3rd brake light housing. I haven't hear it since.

 

Can anyone reccomend tires with as little sidewall as possible. For example, I've seen Toyos with very little sidewall compared to my Nitto 555's. I rub on the top of the outer sidewall, just as it curves upwards towards the tread.

I'm running 235/35/19 front, and 265/30/19 rear. The pic is with H&R Sport, #2 & #3 shims front and rear, and stock shocks. I switched to the thickest shims at all four corners, and that helped a bit. Now I'm on the "Euro Springs" with the thinnest shims, and i've got about a 1 inch gap...yuck!!! Problem is they drive like stock, and i'm too used to my "stiff" H&R ride. Suggestions would be really great. Thx in advance.

to each his own but... tooooooo much!
I know some people like that look but to me it just seems waaaaaay overcooked.
I do admire the time and effort that's been put into it though. Just that I'd much rather turn my dollars into action rather than looks, then again maybe you've done that too (:
Just my two pennith, cheers

 

OMG!!!!!!!!! UR CAR, the colour, the kit the rimmmsss?

 

As-Salaam-Alaikum

Thanks again,
Na'im
