W201 v.2.0

[#MrBenz]

Cause nothing to update towards this build, but if you want to see something... heres my past weeks work:

How, what ?!

[Exami]

Jesus! What is that exhaust for???

Its for friends skyline.. to finish it off we polished the exhaust

How, what ?!

Using lathe to polish my summerwheels.. the finish aint perfect enough so i might need to redo...


In this picture you can see some swirl in it still..

There might be some neat updates around the corner. ive been trying to gather some parts to get some decent updates but will see!

Oh yea, and i got my self own dyno.. its only for bikes tho..

Top mounts, Custom billet ones :p


Shocks and lowercontrolarm in place..

Sorry there was some fuckup on photobucket it did show the photos 12 times.. so i had to delete some of them.. fixed..

and to make it even one new photo.



Most possibly tomorrow front control arms + springs + shocks etc mounted

Ok, that looks awesome!

Happy holidays for everyone.

Im trying out parts on trial and error.. and bustin my ball to get these front brakes and parts fitted.

not much luck has been on my side..



Seems nice eh? well yea, but the disc is too small and it wont clear the caliper or the balljoint... so im going to need to buy another set of discs and lowercontrolarms.

bummer

[Exami]

Sorry for spamming, but i just realized that i have one set of W124 E320 brake calipers in storage, all i need is to glassblast them and paint them for mint finish. i have new pads on them and such. so change the discs to W124 E320 model and im pretty much set.

Altho they weight bit more than the Brembo ones.. and smaller pistons.. but its about 400€ cheaper to test them. than try to fit these brakes.. so dont be amazed if in next photos there is different brakes again

Just grind the balljoint and add a dustshield?

wowww hayran kaldım gerçekten, muhteşem bir proje olmuş

şu an bende yeni bir w201 üstünde çalışıyorum LS3 swap

Just grind the balljoint and add a dustshield?

Wont work, but that might work with the W124 E320 4pot brakes + disc's as i will show you why:



This setup is about 1mm from the balljoint.. this would be fixed with grinder.. and some paint to finish it off.. but the previous setup would have sat ~6mm more towards the balljoint.. so bit unreal to grind that much and get away with it..

anyways..



everything fits nicely.. altho i might need to change that LCA still, but no worries i got use for these ones for the other benz

[Exami]

Soo. Things happen and parts fail.


Starting this update with this.

My black benz ignitionkey seized, pretty common problem on these old benzes, time just runs out of the part and out of nowhere one morning it wont work.

Well i found way to take it off.. altho these late models has shit ton on "anti theft" proofing. anyway the steeringlock + ignitionkey unit endup looking like the picture.

While on the work of changing that part, i did try to weld on the lock unit, on this point i fried my ECU <- yea dumfuk, anyway i had spare one. changed it car fired up. and again working.

After ecu change it had some missfiring issue, but that fixed by it self.(just by driving)

This was my past week on Car hobby. hell of a week.

you could use R129 lower arms as they have a different shape around the balljoint:



Great project........
