These are some quick pics of my baby, Yes I know the pics are ugly they were from my iphone, so deal with it. Positive and negative comments are welcomed, it is fixed to my taste so thanks for your opinion. I having trouble finding parts for this car and they are a pain in the ass to find. I would like to get some headers and a new exhaust system on the car, but I cannot find a place where I can get some, if anyone knows hit me up, The last pic was todays tempurature:) and now back to the news:lmfao:

When I got the car 3 of the rims were the same and 1 was different. So I bought the matching rim on tirerack.com and also 4 new tires from the same website. Went to the dealer and got 4 new brake rotors and pads put on the car, just last month, the coolant flush and brake fluid flush was done to it, the window decal was put on, the red tow hook and speakers inside. I have ordered new beilstein shocks for the car and I waiting til next month to get them put on.

nice, you should remove the "B" from the word in your license plate, that it would be real "street"

wheels look like larger LS Meshies. Not saying I dislike them.

As far as an exhaust goes, you can always get the main components you want, then go to a shop and get them to make you a custom one.

I don't halfway mind these cars. I have seen a few that are nice looking. I am not crazy about your wheels, but that is just me. It's clean though. I think if you take that stuff off of the windshield visor area, you will be good. What kind of fuel efficiency do you get?

I get an average of about 18 to 20 city wise, but the way I drive sometimes its less than that. Next month Im going to take it to Firestone on Howell Mill to get the fuel filter changed and fuel injectors cleaned off so hopefully the mpg will be better:)

I agree.

The car, on the other hand, it's not my taste. The front of these cars look good, but the ass end ruins it for me. Like the color of the wheel (chrome with lip), but the style is out of touch for me. Later, QD.

You really should take these to a dealership to do the work. Once shit hits the fan, the car is trash. My wife drove one for years and it was a great car when it was running right.

Not my cup of tea...Traction control is a bitch. RWD is useless. Even with TC off, as soon as the tires cut loose, the motor kills power to stop tires. NO FUN! Wheels are ugly, lose the banner and "tow hook". Fan boy stuff right there. All of this is my opinion and from personal experiences with this car. Please dont take it personal b/c at the end of the day, its still a benz and they are nice.....just dont rice it out, b/c that is the path you are on.

Thanks for the heads up on the car but, to each their own right? And the house is a friends house, I just took the pic there because it is a beautiful mini mansion I should say

You'll have to go through a reputable Mercedes tuner to find mods. RennTech and Kleeman should have parts available, there was a lot done with the 2.3 Kompressor motors including a kit with a bigger blower

Your best bet it headers, a pulley and tune. There a pretty big gains with just those mods (something like 40+ hp) once the S/C is cranked up

a supercharged c230 is a great car. you can get decent power out of that small motor but from the looks I am guessing your more into fads than real performance and renntech makes a tune so the ESP will completely turn off. well worth it

I just got off the phone with Renntech and they do not have any parts for my car. Im going to look up Kleeman now, but right now I am having troubles with my sunroof because it is not closing properly and it looks like it going to rain pretty soon. Shit!

Needs more AMG wheels...


I've always wondered what kind of performance potential these cars have.

I was going to get these AMG 17' wheels on it but, I though it would kinda of be false claiming, kinda like putiing an SI badge on a civic when its not an si

Not really.... Its just their performance line like stillen, comptech, M for bimmers( wheels mostly on normal 3, 5, 7 series) etc.

Mike my buddy had a C230 sedan with a full Kleeman blower upgrade and what not and it ran high 12's@107-109 iirc and make something in the 300's
