Sick w124! Seriously though, what is up with the trucker antenna? Monos were an awesome choice....always look so good on these cars. That last pic makes me think how nice a brabus muff would look, the old school w124/r129 dual tipped angled style. Anyway, good work, looks like a fun roadtrip!

you mean trucker antenna(s)

have any idea where I may be able to find me one of these Brabus mufflers


and bump I got a flat so now I'm running on my CLK LTW's gotta order another tire...

[Vegas13]

[HWY HNTR]

[Vegas13]

[HWY HNTR]

anyways, gots me roof rack in, and I already broke it luckily my brother is pretty mechanically inclined and helped me fix it. Imma take some pics tonight when it's lit up

[HWY HNTR]

whats the info on that motor? i'm not familiar at all with mercedes.

I just pulled out my Preliminary service manual booklet that a friend gave to me from a service adviser at a Mercedes dealership and in it it explains all the differences from a C36 to a C280 (the model the car is based off of) in terms of engine, body, interior, wheels, etc. so I decided to write the differences from a C280 because I forgot how interesting it is...that Iand I won't really have any real updates till tomorrow.

Engine Differences from a C280:
1. Cylinder bore increased, cylinder head reworked
2. Cylinder head gasket modified to accommodate increased bore
3. Crankshaft with longer stroke
4. Pistons were shortened and lightened
5. Modified connecting rods
6. Modified intake camshaft
7. Camshaft adjuster with limited adjustment range. Exhaust Duration Changed
8. New engine control module (HFM-SFI)
9. New diagnostic module (OBD II) (don't really get this as I thought the C280 used OBDII...maybe not the early ones?
10. Air cleaner with dual intake openings for increase air supply
11. Cross section of intake manifold increased
12. Modified oil deflector shield and oil spray nozzles

the booklet is pretty sick it even goes into more detail later on about all the modifications, for instance the pistons are forged aluminum...pretty interesting I thought.

Well there you go, a little update tomorrow about some wheels in the works

[HWY HNTR]

well, I was gonna wait and save these as a surprise, but it looks like I won't be able to use them. Plans were to refurbish them in a polish, but I've noticed that this one wheel has the dreaded cracks that these OZ wheels are known for. I've emailed rotiform to see what they think about it, but as far as what everyone says on the internet they are not repairable, sux, but let's see what rotiform says I guess.









what a shame

damn dude that is such a bummer!

[HWY HNTR]

even more bad news, my car was involved in an accident, lady admitted fault, but pretty sure the insurance company is going to total it because parts are so expensive for these older Mercedes. really sucks too, I felt so bad when it was getting towed off.

[hypercrush]

[isved]

Oh no!
Not the turbodiesel fender!
I know how you feel, I got into an accident with an old handicapped guy a few weeks back in my m104 swapped W201 that was full of rare goodies. It's definitely a sad sight.

...

as an update, just got the hood to open, and the whole front end is SMOOSHED onto the engine...so my AMG motor may need some parts fixed on it as well.... -_-*

If the car does end up being totaled I'm trying to weigh my options of transferring my 3.6 stuff into another vehicle. I'm deciding between a w201 or a 94-95 w124 coupe...not sure yet which one, cause, there is a lot of damage under there...
