Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

[loekaaz]

Can anyone on here tell me the difference in widths between the w201's and w124's front bumper? considering running an e36 M3 bumper like I considered a while back, but I don't know if the w124 is too wide.

Don't do it Evan


DONT DO EEEEEEEETTT!!!

Quick Update:
I did a little photoshop of my current 2016 goals...

1. Front fender to lip fitment with e36 coils and swift springs
2. Rear lower 1 inch with current ranger shocks and 34K swift springs.
3. full AMG Gen 1 replica kit paint matched and fitted properly.
4. 326Power Wing paint matched and mounting points shortened.
5. Clear corners and euro headlights.
6. Still deciding on if I want to renew my tint and get rid of the rad purple 90's tint with proper limo tint all around.
7. Didn't photoshop them on but I've got my eye on a set of 17' Work Rezax that need to be relipped. (If I get them you better believe I'll post pics.)
8. 2.5' straight pipe to 3.5' quad tips. The exhaust is getting done next week hopefully. (Will post a sound clip when done)

Anyways here's the pic for you guys to give you an idea, I am very excited.

This car is awesome.
Kinda reminds me of my friends old 190e

Thanks man I'd kill to have the heart of this thing on a 190's chassis, my last 190 handled like it was on rails and was so fun to drive.

Been a while since I updated last due to an injury. Since the last update I was able to replace the distributor cap and rotors. I was able to remove the stripped bolts with an oversized hex thanks to Loekaaz for the tip. After that happened I broke my shoulder in three different places, cracked a disc in my back and one of them is now bulging. That same day I was driving home and my rear right tire blew up on me but I was only about 1,000 feet from home luckily so I was able to drive it and park it in the driveway while I was recovering. I was able to order a tire and should be getting it mounted today. I recently also became a part owner of an aftermarket automotive parts distributor called StayReadyGarage ( http://stayreadygarage.myshopify.com ). So if anyone here is in need of coilovers, wheels from Ambit, ESR, or ARC(450$ a set right now), bash bars for S13's, S14's, S15's, S2000's, RX7's, and FRS/BRZ's, steering wheels, and a shit ton of other stuff we gotchu. I'm currently selling my RS Reps for 550$ with tires as well. I've got my eye on some 17 inch Work Rezax for my next setup and my plan is to either re-lip them to be 17X10.5 all around or get my hands on some step lips and go 18X10. Here's all the photos I've got of Areola from the last two weeks ;(

Someone spotted me rollin! It's weird how much cooler my car looks when its driving, I almost never get to see it driving because I never let anyone drive it, well no one really wants to drive it in the first place haha



Feelsbadman. This photo bums me out, this is at the same gas station 2 years later. Only thing that has changed is the color of the car, slightly bigger, lower and actually had presentable wheels, oh can't forget about the huge V8 under the hood :roll eyes



Lastly I was able to see my friend Armaria's cosworth which is the first one imported to the U.S. This thing is absolutely beautiful and the best part is that he modifies it regardless of being a historical vehicle. Its currently on cut 500e springs, Bilstein B8's, and Borbet wheels (forget the model name). This thing is super rad and has a full stainless exhaust from Leistung Autohaus in California. This thing always reminds me of how fun my old 190 was.



Till next time fellow stants-workers

have no clue as to how i haven't seen this thread yet, but looks dope so far man, cant wait to see the front coils mounted and your oil pan mashed up haha

OT, im actually an hour south of you haha, let me know anytime you want to setup a photoshoot or link up at a meet man

OT? Oceanside or? I'd be super down! and yeah haha thanks, the oil pan shouldn't be too much of a problem seeing as my sway bar sits lower than it and I'm only going 2 inches lower in the front, we will see though.

I feel so important right now

EDIT:Get an oversized TORX socket in there. Whack it in with a hammer. The edges of the TORX will settle into the rounded head

Huh awesome thanks for the idea, I tried that with an oversized allen but obviously that didn't work, i'll try the torx idea thanks!

In that case: Get an oversized TORX socket in there. Whack it in with a hammer. The edges of the TORX will settle into the rounded head
