190D not an E!

[erikfromgilroy]

Crashed my 240d(slowest car on earth)

Then I bought this a week later
190D 2.5 5 speed manual. A dream car to me.

And now 2 days later it looks like this(sorry for the bad pic)
Springs are still settling it tucks rear now

Muuuuuuuuch more to come so stay tuned for your next episode

Dang, manual om602 car. I'm jealous.

[MBBelgium]

[Nagah]

In slow motion, I guess. Must have looked pretty cool!

New car looks like a nice start. What do you have planned for it?

[erikfromgilroy]

Rear brakes locked up car swung into pole in fast motion.
Did the tranny and motor oil today in prep for its first trip from the Bay Area to LA
Adjustable coils
Camber adjustment
A secret wheel i've never seen on a Benz
Turbocharged m103 or turbo the 2.5
I found a Cosworth kit but it's almost as what everyone does so I might go a different route definitely getting a spoiler
I love the W201 its like an E3o but made by Mercedes and I love me a good Mercedes.

[erikfromgilroy]

Made it to LA without any hiccups
Switched my wheels so I wouldn't be rubbing the whole way
In need of hubcentric rings though. They're old bmw basketweaves redrilled to fit Mercs

Love this

[erikfromgilroy]

Got bored the other day and did this. Didnt like it very much so i think I'm gonna try to do round flares. Who knows. I do know I want to go wide.

Also working on buying this Rieger lip from another member here

So it'll look like this

[Bronzit]

Check it.


This is the only picture I've ever seen of it, though.
E30M3-esque.

I wanted to do something like that but I don't want to lose my back doors just yet. Gonna experiment with some foam and see if I can make something I like without touching the back doors

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

No reason you can't have a cut in there to allow the rear doors to open. Square flares are the way to go, IMO.

Painted my bumpers black but they didn't come out too hot. I'm gonna repaint later so here's a picture of it without bumpers.

Getting my suspension set up right now. Got new tie rods, r129 strut mounts, rear camber arms, and should be getting r129 springs too because they're stiffer. I'll cut them to preferred heights. Still thinking about doing some sort of coil over spring set up using eBay honda coil over sleeves and Eibach/Hyperco springs.
