I'm currently in the process of selling the car, until then its my dd.


Here's my new ride

as you can see, i was pretty into modding the exterior in the past. I'll probably keep the mercedes more stocking look and just focus on performance mods for now.

The dc2 turned out really good from when you first got it. How much did you invest into it?

tooo much... i think around close to $15k, i bought the car for around $5k and probably dropped $10k in exterior mods, suspension, stereo and upgrading the engine internals. I was about to drop another $5k for turbo, i was going for 500whp on race gas and probably 400whp on pump on a gt30.

i decided against it when my insurance wouldnt cover any of the engine work i done or the turbo. So i sold it for $7500 and got the c32.

Damn, you have great taste in cars!

I love your Integra with the JDM facelift...looks so clean. :drool: I'm actually looking into getting either an modded Integra or Civic for now hopefully under 5k.

Hi Mike - most interesting. Did your C32 not come with Bi Xenon's? All AMGs come with BiX in South Africa - I thought this was standard?

thanks...i love the integra too, But i was always afraid it would be stolen. In southern california, there the favorite car to steal.

if i were you, i would get a used s14 or s13 then drop in a vq35de engine in there. You can buy those motors for $2k now. $4k for the car and $2k for the engine you have a 2800lb rwd car with 280-300hp.

Hi Glyn,

Nope, Mercedes USA every single thing is a option. THe original owner only had frosted halogen head lights. I bought some ebay head lights and retrofitted some stanley made tsx HID projectors in there. Since stanley projectors are superior to *cough * cough (pos) bosch...lol..jk...i mean hella projectors.

If you click on the tsx link on my signature, you can see the pics.

thanks.

probably not in the near future...i'm focusing more on engine mods like heat exchanger, radiator, intercooler pump and supercharger pulley.

I have 81k on the car so far, i'll probably start looking at coil over close to the 100k mark.

Hehe, I have a budget of 5k right now trying to get an Integra. Definitely can't do the JDM front with that low of a budge. I'll probably find one for around 3k and put 2k into rims, coilovers, cosmetics.
