My New 2002 w203 Mercedes C32 AMG W.I.P.

Your gearknob is different to mine. I have 'C32' on mine where you have AMG. Is that the original one??

Doh! Just re-read the first post and its all there.....

Mine has C32 on it too, and only one silver piece - the one with C32 on it.

In fact I've had two, and both had C32 rather than AMG.

Come to think of it, the car in the the sales brochures had C32 on it too.
 
Yeah jon works round the corner from me as i live in wokingham!!as you lowered your c32, what suspension did you have,how much is it, and whats the best drop to have on 18's??

Will be going on the car tommorow, so pictures soon!!Comments welcome!!
 
Can't wait to see them on it, think it will make it look bang up to date.
 
Alritey there, hAvnt posted up for a while, but been pretty busy.The clk 63 AMG wheels are now on and make the car look so much better!!Due to the weather though i havnt bothered taken pictures due to the fact the car is filthy.But the car will be in perfect condition by saturday so will get pictures then.

Also have just ordered the bi-xenon clear fog lights, and 3 fin grille, as i agree with peeps on here, the one i bought just don't suit the car. then by the end of december will have the following too...
1)Bi-Xenon clear headlights
2)l.e.d. conversion rear SL lights
3)CF Front spoiler

Then itll be back to saving for rear 4 pots and grooved discs.Also you'll be plesently surprised how big the wheels in an 18 look on the c32!!So till saturday...!!
 
no, ive had the car maped by advance auto tenique with a v-tune re-map.the cars running 302.76bhp to the floor at the mo but ive ordered 185mm pulley, johnson cm-30 ic pump and heat exchanger from let motorsport in the states.but the gear has been held back till january due to them having a shortage of stock as everyone in the states wants the gear.i just had the owner of let, jerry, call me and we just sorted it out over the phone.He is in the process of opening a shop in london, but get ur stuff now, cos when the shop opens in london its gona be silly exspensive.The let software is getting sent straight to the garage where im having it fitted from the states.so find a programer whos good with software or send your car to america!!lol!!this kits worth it though as your i believe your looking at 420 bhp to the floor, 444lbs of torgue and a top speed of over 200mph...pretty hardcore for a c32!!
 
yes just waiting for jerry to get the 55 pulleys in stock then i will order...he said i would have to send ecu to him to be flashed then back to me,don't really want the downtime...which garage is doing this for you?
cheers jon
 
Good luck with getting it over 200mph ...

Maff had problems getting his CL65 ( mapped by DMS to 700 bhp ) past 200mph ...

Did it in the end though , but needed miles of empty autobahn to do so ...

Did a few 190mph runs at Bruntingthorpe though :)
 
420 bhp and 444lbs torque to the floor is plenty to do this.ive already had 176mph on the bahns at 302bhp, its not impossible at all!!
 
That's less powerful than a C63 ... anybody know what the unrestricted top speed of one of those is? I would seriously doubt it can reach 200 mph.
 
There is a german web site with posted top speeds of cars on the autobarns,


Your talking highly modified Ruff 911 turbos going over 200 Mph


I think the difference in BHP to get every 10 mph is huge.


Granted there are many M3's de restriced with posted 170 to 175 mph but that does take a huge time to get there from 150.

I had an indicatted 153 on the GPS in europe in my 330Ci and from 140 that took some time (its was 4am in the morning so trafffic free)

Also as mentioned that was on the GPS, your 176 is that speedo or GPS as there could be 10 mph differnce at that speed.

You will have a quick car but if its 200 mph I doubt :(
 
Lots of e55's have hit 200mph delimited and they put out 400-420 at the wheels so it might be possible with c32.....would need a nice long road:D

Any links?

After a quick Google the best I've seen is 308 kph (speedo display) ... 191 mph. Actual speed would be somewhat lower.
