Basicly 2 reasons, me and my pal have been talking about M50 Turbo W201.. so first stage would be fitting N/A version(to see how it fits)
Second which contains several, M50 is quite nice engine good power and good reliability

There is no time for monkeybusiness...
for most of you this is just some letters.. anyways this is my todo list that i started today. and this is where i got.. hopefully all remaining things will be done tomorrow.

Ok, first test drive done, wheel alignments was WAAAY off.. and 1 connector on powersteering was lose.. so not bad for this kind of project.. anyways new photos and video soon as i get it uploaded to youtube..

Today i got the swaybar i was waiting for, from W124 500E Merc.. i got it from local MB dealer.. Fitted nicely onto the car and cleared the M50 oilpan!

No pics no nothing!

Well i've been driving the car daily after the swap, seems pretty darn good, for fast job as it was car has been working like it should!.. and i hope i didn't just jinx it.. anyway 2 'small' issues 1st radiator cap didn't keep water in(no expansion tank so too much preassure) 2nd powersteering pipe from pump to steeringbits was leaking..

So problemsolving... 1st i got new moroso radiatorcap with 20lbs spring(old one was 16lbs) so far so good, havent leaked water out.. 2nd i got new powersteering pipe, havent installed it yet hopefully i get that done on weekend..

Stancewise there might come some updated in month time or so.. i got some wheels in mind and coilovers and such.. but also i need to work on my E46(coilovers + styling5 set refurb)

[Exami]

So its been some time.. and heres current look. im currently waiting that my new rims arrive, so maybe soon pics with those on

[Exami]

So i did pickup new wheels today..

First rear:




YEEEEY! Fits like a champ..

Then..
Front..
Well old looks like this from inside..

New ones like this:


So if i even try to fit that in there i need atleast 20mm spacer..

SO..

when you did you 4-pot caliper upgrade, did you have to swap out the brake rotor to the w124 or were you able to use the stock 190 rotors?

I did the whole set if you look the previous pages you'll see what parts i swapped.. and the front brake parts is straight out from W124 300-24V and bolted into W201 only thing was the abs sensor that did not fit..

damn those wheels look good on there !

[Exami]

Hey, I started looking for smaller brakes to fit Rial wheels, (cooled but smaller brake caliper)

Also i finally got the speedo working today (swapped Honda Civic electronit speedo over the wiredriven oem..)
