As the original owner of a pristine 2008 C300 Six Speed, I really enjoyed this! Most reliable car I have ever owned...which is why I have it 16 years later!
Great video Danny, brings back so many memories. Been putting in a lot of work to get this car back on track next year! Excited to hear the v6 sing again!
This is very cool. A W204 with a 6 speed manual is rare. I like the similarities to my 200 hp Lexus IS250 6 speed manual with F Sport suspension. It has a lower and stiffer suspension and I'm swapping the 3.73 open diff for a 4.10 limited slip diff out of a BR-Z because you're absolutely right that it's the first thing you need to be able to put the power down.
@fcpeuro-media Please can you make Eibach manufacture them arbs again, they stopped many years ago and there is no stock anywhere. They fit the W204 C63 AMG and give an extra 1-2mm thickness, adjustability and poly bushes so I still need them for my C63 Clubsport build. Also can you convince Synchro Design works to do the same treatment to the OEM lower arms on the W204 C63 arms, they have done a set before but seems impossible to get them to do another (I don’t mind paying for a brand new pricey oem set for them to use)

It was a car made to last and put on miles!
I remember when this car was originally posted on MBWorld back when I had a W204 C300, too. Great platform. So cool to see it now over a decade later.
Never got all the love it really deserved! Glad you appreciated it since day 1!
You did a top job delivering this video, Danny!
We agree ;-)
Great build! Love your videos. Amazing job talking about this car Danny.
If there's one thing Danny can talk about... its his Mercedes!
Well done, sir! You killed it!!
I like that these newer cars are being put to good use. Since a decent one can be had for cheap cheap, it helps people get into the sport.
That was the goal of this project - sometimes, the path into motorsports isnt necessarily the most obvious one!

We are as excited for it to be back out there!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!

That exhaust not might sound ridiculous, but it definitely sounds good
ridiculously good* 😁
what is the rear coil over from?
Bruh it ain't a sleeper when it got full racing livery on it 😂
Fair.... BUT The W204 C300 puts most people to sleep 😅
Its a sleeper bc its a C300
Just curious if you know what coating you guys use on the floor? It seems like it looks good while holding up to abuse in other videos. Thanks!
