Thumbs up CL203

I have installed a pulley kit and have 8000 miles on it, the only problem I have had is a couple of speeding tickets. There is only so much room to install a larger pulley like Kleemann said so most of the kits are going to produce around the same gains. I have also changed out the exhaust system from the cats back, lowered my car and installed a big brake kit. I have expairmented with the C Coupe allot. It's great fun If you ever have any questions feel free to ask.

thanks Renncpe

Randy

just wondering who you went through for your cat-back and suspension stuff. I have only been seeing people making "silencers" that from what I've found only sound better but not perform better.

renncpe,
You forgot the diff.
That makes a ton of difference.

You are right the Diff change makes big 0-60 improvement. It also adds to the drivability of the car at slower speeds (2nd & 3rd speed corners) like autocross.

Xenon Headlights

Another question for the masses...

Xenon headlight were not an option when I ordered my car but I really want them. How can I get XENONing with the C-Coupe?

Thanks

The computer is looking for a 55 watt draw from the stock lights, the pull from the xenons is only 35 watts so the computer thinks you have a burned out blub.

When you change the setting in the computer to "xenons present" it will allow for the change in wattage.

And I'm sure that this is not something I can do myself...
So would you recommend the Stage II kit over the Stage I? Is the installation a big mess when it's all done or does it actually look like a factory install?

sorry about all the questions...

No it's clean, after the install. The computer part has to be done at the dealer. But the install is not hard to do. I like the stage ll it's just more both stagel and stage ll are a big improvment over stock.

The only one that you can get comes with the C-7 package. If you don't have the C-7 package I can get you the mercedes shift linkage that comes with it.
