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?

TemjinX2

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?

jturkel

what rims do you have on your c32?

TemjinX2

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.

c63 replica rims, non staggered, so i can rotate the tires.

You: DC2

Me: C240
You: C32 AMG

TemjinX2

i think that means i win.....lol jk. All good man, i just wanted some thing with some torque for a change..

Glyn M Ruck

Your "superior" projectors look great !!

TemjinX2

lol..thanks. after having HIDS in my other two cars, i couldnt go back to halogens.

I wish i went with the s2000 projectors, but they always get snatched up fast.

III II I I AMG

B189s

Good job on the headlights

Lowering soon?

TemjinX2

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.

Mu9enx

no dropping eh? you can run and run, but it will always bite your ***

TemjinX2

lol..i'm over the lowed race car look...i'm old now man. i just want something comfortable. The gmr run was the only time i wished i was lowered. i can smell all the burnt rubber i was putting my tires through.

shake just found his love

daiso'

very nice write-up it seems we all started with a civic or an integra.... my Sir was stolen before i got to sell it.... its ok i got more from insurance then i would of asked for it!!!

Shake

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.
