New Member from italy
I am a 23 year old engineering student from italy who loves car, and my car, which also is my first car, is a Mercedes CLK 230, here is a pic of it.
(i'm only uploading one as all i have are all very heavy for some reason... sorry)
In my description, as the 230 kompressor was not commercialized in USA i could not select it, and i selected a 320, but my car is a manual 230 kompressor bought from germany, made in 2001.
I am joining this forum as I read many threads and i think this is a very interesting place for sharing info and experiences about our cars. I work on my car myself as I have little budget, I did some mods to the car (not visible in the picture) which are a catback supersprint exhaust and a set of CEIKA coilovers, as my previous rear struts were cooked and i wanted a sportier ride. For next mods i would like to buy an LSD, new rims and better tires, i'm currently running 225 45 R17 all aorund and I will most likely keep the dimensions the same as they are the only allowed tire/wheel sizes available are constrained by my vehicle registration sheet (idk how to call it), i would need to modify it to allow different tire fitting, on the road.
I hope to participate to good conversations and make friends here, i am excited to start sharing with you my (little) experience about my car, and mostly receive advice from you guys, which will for sure be very experienced.
Thank you all!!!




PS: I have a w208 myself..C'ya over there.

P.s. about the tires, roads where I live are not great, and most of the time i use the car for fun and spirited driving. Rn i have no budget for wheels and tires but whenever i'll need info i'll look for a thread in the w208 section :-)
