190e 2.6
160,000
OEM Ronal SL-Class 16x8
15mm Spacer in the rear
195/50 Hankook Optimos
Suspension:
Front, Vogtland lowering springs
Bilstein Yellows
-1.2*
Rear, Ford Focus adjustable collars and springs
Bilstein Yellows
-3.8*
SL400 4-Piston Brakes up front
I finally have direction on what I want to do with my 190e. As it sits it's a very clean example, garage kept blue/blue car. With the exception of dash vents and recovered door cards the interior is 100% perfect, the exterior has a few dings but overall 8.5/10. This car has made me be somewhat of a purist.
The plan I have in motion now is:
-M103 3.0l swap, 100% refreshed.
-BMW E30 (m20mb25/7) headers welded to the M103 flange
-Cam from DBilas, unsure what what duration to get. Their site says the factory is a 256*, I'm thinking a 280* should do the trick.
-Once I have this together I'm grabbing a MegaSquirt II, depending on what I learn about the MS and the engine itself I'd like to get some E36 or E34 M throttle bodies and adapt them to the intake manifold.
-I want to pick up an R170 C230 6 speed manual transmission, haven't seen it done yet.
-Custom front ball joints, camber plates, and springs.
-Sooner than later will be Audio. Looking out for a DVD Navigation unit. I have a 5 Channel Kicker amp and a 10" Type R. My speakers are already replaced with Type S.
Low on the list since it's amazing is the interior. I want to grab some 16v rear seats and mesh headrest Recaros to have recovered in blue.
Another low priority (probably more than a year off) is 16v body kit.
Optional BBS RS from a W124, playing with swapping lips to get a good fit, they didn't fit...
Found the SL wheels for $250 shipped, and the Hankooks from a friend for $50
Lastly, my winter project is a shaved trunk lid with a VW popper:
