lmao i don't care if i get beat by civics i just whip out the old "MY RIMS COST MORE THEN YOUR CAR". I just say save your money up, buy mustang 5.0 like a 92 for like a grand. get it painted and restored and keep your benz for daily driving.

ROTFLMAO thats a good one cru... being my wheels retail over 865.00 a piece i was looking at some sites and find out they aren't making 18's any more in my wheelthey start at 19's and there running about 960.00 so if i damage one i m f*cked i was looking since one of my wheels has a very slow leak

Honestly, its cheaper to just sell your C230K and buy a C36 or C43. You will spend less in the long run and end up with a MUCH better & cooler looking car
i have a 2000 C230k with 80k. i got it for $8900 a couple of months ago. How much do u think i could get for it now? And how much are C36 and C43 runing for?

C36s are selling between $7500-12k, I would clean up your car and just sell it for as much as you can and try and get into one of the other two for around the same price or a tad bit more. MUCH better investment. Just my 2 centsOriginally posted by C230KSPORT00

How many lbs do you consider "light". I have been looking around but i dont really have a basis you know?Originally posted by c55m8o
In addition to weight reduction and all other points mentioned, go for the lightest rims, and more importantly, tires, you can find! This will reduce the moment of inertia of the tire + rim combo the most and make it easier for your engine to get them turning on acceleration.
I can suggest OZ Supperleggera rims and Michelin tires. Out of the only three tires I'd consider in the 'extreme performance' category, the Michelin is the lightest, then Dunlop, then Bridgestone.

What are some ways to reduce wait besides removing rear seats? (i want to keep it a luxury sedan)

Seats don't really weight that much,
1st things 1st
Replace the Battery with something small.
Remove the Spear Tire and get AAA.
Keep you stock rims. or find something lighter
Get a Carbon Fiber hood and trunk from Lensolo.
Dude im telling you just save up for a mustang or a camaro, or even yet a C43.
C43 your already looking at 300+ hp, you do the pulleys on there, with all the bolt ons, get it chipped, and put a 75 wet shot of Nos you'll have a dead sleeper. For less then your going to spend on a c230k
If you have the money to spend then hey the C230k is a great platform to make it one deadly benz, because it already has a low compression engine. and its already inter cooled supercharged. I personally think if you were to swap out the c230k tranny with a SLK manual tranny, it'll whop assss. One thing i'll also recommend is you get
Sprint Booster, which will make your throttle response so faster.

How many lb do u consider light for rims? and how much is a sprint booster?

I disagree with you Jabu. If only you spend the time to search you will seriously find almost everything you need. Not only on this forum but others like mbworld and benzworld.org. That's why I made that ridiculous comment about stickers for this topic that has been brought up over and over again.
But I will still contribute to this thread seriously.
Instead of spending tons of money on minor increases in hp, try getting the most out of what you already have by doing weight reduction mods such as lighter wheels, removing the spare, taking out your back seats, cf hood.
Otherwise some other mod options include custom intake, full catback exhaust (both which won't do a whole lot except fill the streets with testosterone filled noise) and the pully kit from omeyhomey (if he has one for your engine). We have some extremely dedicated modders who have spent lots of time and money on turbo kits and nitrous but in all honesty, your car isn't going to be a racing beast.
I'm instead focusing my money on "low and slow" so I've upgraded my suspension and wheels for great fun on the twisties and a distinct styling. Your benz is a luxury sedan so treat it like one. Stop racing on the streets and start flashing the emblem like a status symbol of "not poor" unlike the kids with the decked out civics.
Just my opinion but to each his own.
Good luck with the car.
actually seats DO weigh quite a bit. Rear seats are usually 35lbs for the full bench, Front seats are usually 130-150lbs for the pair, so you can drastically decrease weight (and at the most crucial area, the center of the car). Battery is another one, spare tire/jack/tools, theres alot of weighs to reduce weight. Light weight crank pulley & headers as well. basically every mod you should do, you should attempt to reduce as much weight as possible. Stock exhaust systems are VERY heavy too so usually theres another 25-40lbs that can be taken out of the exhaust system.
I still think he should just invest in a muscle car, and keep his c230k stock, just make it look pretty ballin

Under 25lbs is 'getting' light. Around 20 lbs is pretty light. Under 20 lbs is -very- light. Lightest for a decent rim in the 17" size is in the 18lbs range.Originally posted by C230KSPORT00
How many lbs do you consider "light". I have been looking around but i dont really have a basis you know?
More important again is the lightest tire. By my one set of calculations I did, I found +1lb tire weight was equal to +3 lb in rims weight, in their resistance to rotation (moment of inertia). That means the difference between going from a 28 lb to a 25 lb tire if you don't change your rim, is the same as if you kept the 28 lb tire, and lose 9 lbs in you rims. Getting a 3lb lighter tire is a lot easier then a 9 lb lighter rim. However, if you do -both- lighter tire and lighter rims, there's nothing but upside.
