Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

[190Evan]

The wheel is 2" back? yikes. If you were local to me id pull it for ya, but cali is quite a ways off lol. $140 seems a little cheap. Are they actually going to measure as well or just eyeball it. Frame time is $100 an hour an for it being 2" back id say thats gunna take a bit longer than 1.5 hours to getup properly.

It's only that cheap because it's my friends dads shop and he's giving me a deal, they are only going to pull the mounts forward. Regardless of the deal this shop also does 50$ per hour for everyone.

Little update here folks. Saw and did some cool things over the weekend and it's time to start ordering more parts! First off I had to drive up to Buena Park to swoop up some tires for an amazing deal and as this little bozo dream



Next one of my good friends picked up @slammedsc300's old SC and we were able to do some maintenance on it over the weekend. Boy is this thing rad.



Also saw this lil 240 in Buena Park. I really need an s13 soon I feel like you have to build one of them as an enthusiast. Not a huge fan of the tails but the interior was cool, surprisingly.



Then I ran into another Benz guy at Pepboys. Made me miss my old 190



Looks like V8 and -10 don't go to well together -____- good thing I'm adding more to the back to fit the new wheels!



I figured a 215/35/18 on a 9.5 would do the job so i picked up two tires for 30$.......



Here's some pics of the test fit with my current camber set up, Im going to need to add about 4-6 degrees to tuck these in I'd say.






I'm already really please with the look of the car, As soon as I get the 326 power wing on i'm going to take the stupid stickers off they just look funny right now because the car looks like a Manji slut lmao.
Here's the camber I'm looking to run. really excited.



I better get good at flipping my tires on time hahaha



I got the tires mounted on them yesterday and I'm going to be mounting them as soon as I can adjust my camber and get the thing up on jack stands. Till next time stance works.

I know you **** me and don't care at all of what I think, I also know you are ultra gay for camber but please don't go that far



This looks about right without looking like a horny girl at prom.

[PassionGarage]

not bad

[Respect Till Death]

holy shit that looks fuckin rockin bro, you'll have to start leaving yourself a few inches of clearance around corners and shit - sounds like a fun challenge :P

[DutchieSaxo]

that mexican dude is right, do not go overboard with the camber, keep it classy

[loekaaz]

In a couple of years from now, the excessive camber-rage will be like what neon and veilside bumper kits are now.

But I'm a sucker for dedication. So, just continue

PS: I dig the papier maché on the left rear quarter

I'm not super happy to have to go that far but I've got to make these wheels fit for now and its honestly not going to be that much more to make it fit the second picture what just a guestimation. Im satisfied with the rear camber right now but to fit 18's while being this low and not on bags I need to tuck them.

Leave myself a few inches? Like so I don't lose traction or? whatchu mean fam

that mexican dude is right, do not go overboard with the camber, keep it classy

Not trying to, just trying to make the wheels work.

<3 Yeah the previous owner bondoed the rear quarter and didn't use a catalyst I guess so he just put his daughters friendship tape over it instead negative camber has been around in japan for a while now but is just starting to get circle jerked over here in the states and in europe. I'm just trying to build a cool looking w124 that stands out and I REALLY want to run some wide 18's haha

Thanks guys as always!

Little update here SW friends.
I took off the stupid stickers all over my car except for like two and went to mount my rears but ran into an issue. When I went to add negative camber my toe arms finally decided to start binding and wouldn,t let me add anymore. NOW of all times, NOW they decided to screw with my feels. So I went ahead and ordered some and they will be here soon. In other news I took a few iPhone pics of my friends car and I.





Onto something interesting, I went ahead and replaced my spark plugs which went smoothly until I found out that the life of my plug wires had come to an end. I went to put everything back together and start it up and BOOM misfire lol. So I just had a set of plug wires dropped off at the shop and I'm going to be installing them later on tonight, let's hope that will completely fix my misfiring issue.



Here's a pic of the test fit from the front. I'm gonna max out my camber arms and then add positive camber from there because I need a lot. Also any benz guys on here will get a laugh from this, notice the springs in the corner. less than half the size of the OEM spring.



Here's from the back, boy does it look meaty irl



I've also been looking more and more into what color I want to wrap the car



Next update will have the rears on and tucked, till then folks.

[LCG]

Evan, I always wonder how you make your camber decisions but after that wrap picture everything makes sense now haha.

Go on

[projecthoarder]

Very interesting...... definitely digging it.

[loekaaz]

I've also been looking more and more into what color I want to wrap the car

I give up



Also, I cannot understand that you throw in so much money on wheels and camber, but a $3 fix on your sagging headlight stays ignored? ....
