Medium Pimpin' - 1995 E300 diesel build

[thatbeetleguy]

I've been dying to see someone do a VIP-inspired E36 coupe, sort of in the vein of the VIP-style S14s you see from time-to-time. Never seen it done, which means either it's totally original and awesome, or it's a terrible idea

I've had this idea for a while as well. I would do a white e36 on white Weds kranze bazreia. I haven't seen anything similar to this but I tend to think that because most e36 people try to look somewhat sporty. But that could be such a cool build if done meticulously.

Do you have a video of your arduino remote setup yet?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Your Benz looks perfect. Makes me want to get mine all fitted and on the ground as well. Not sure what my plans will be with the lexus, but I also have that e36 stashed away in the garage thinking that could be a future build as well

I didn't know you had an E36! I'm jealous of all the storage space you must have.

This is the first time I've actually read through this (the least I could do for all the help you've given me) and it's fantastic. By reading what you posted about all the air setup, I really understand why you've given me opinions to sway certain ways.

10/10 would recommend/read again.

Cheers! That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad to hear it's been helpful.

Buy avantgarde grill

S600 / Avantgarde grille is absolutely on the list. There are two versions out there, the one that's currently on the market that apparently fits like shit, and a long-discontinued one that fits like factory. Supposedly. Anyway, I've got my feelers out for the latter.

Your Benz so clean and the outcome on those bags and wheels are just perfect. Makes me sad I lost interest in my 300E gaser

Thank you! I love this car, but they can be a handful, so I don't totally blame for for having lost interest in yours. Still, looking forward to what you come up with on the Lexus!

Kitty is getting big. Hope all is well man!

She is indeed! We had our four-month visit to the vet the other day, and she's up over four pounds, so twice the size of when we picked her up just four weeks ago. The breeder we used tends to produce BIG kitties, so it's entirely possible she ends up being an enormous monster

EDIT: Also, I was looking over her pedigree chart the other day, and one of her great great grandfathers was named Puff Daddy, so, that's pretty hilarious

+100 for cat.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Thank you as always for the kind words, everyone!

Little Marshmallow has settled in over the past couple of weeks and has firmly colonized our home. She's an absolute riot to have around:



If you're the kind of person who watches stupid cat videos on YouTube, I've got a few posted here: link

And now, back to business.

One question, do you somehow fixed the Mahogony to the floor of the trunk?
If not, does it not rattle?
I'm about to do the same to my W124, because it looks so nice in your car.

Thanks again

The mahogany is all glued to a backer board, which fits tightly against the sub enclosure and the sides of the trunk. I get no rattling, but it's pretty tightly wedged in there. If you do the same, you might consider wrapping the edges in felt where it contacts the front and back walls of the trunk, just to prevent any noise.

Mahogony floor

I enjoy your car, write-up, philosophy, attitude and car (again). I will look on expectantly for secret things.

Same goes here, to me this thread is an inspiration now. Thank you!
Not that i have the same craftman skills as you, but i will be trying.

Marshmallow looks like a proper crime boss cat, indeed.

This makes me sad that my thread is almost as long, not as funny and doesn't have a semblance of productivity.
