1990 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.6 Sportline

Yeah, will spend heaps on the Merc donk. Got a good solid lead on a way to blow heaps of money on another box in the US and the guy is willing to help by lubing me up so that should resolve any doubts about whether I am going to waste my money on trying to be different.

Then I just need to spend another $15k to get half the result of fitting a Jap engine for $7k.

Fixed a few typos mate.

Fuck me drunk this would be awesome with an SR in it.

220rwkw all day every day, and replacement engines and boxes cost four bucks if you can figure out a way to break one.

You'd never need to replace the engine - not so sure about the box.

Want me to take you for a drive clayto?... cars are similar weight from memory.

Cars are similar weight from memory.

Weights are listed about four posts up. If anything Clayto's car would be lighter with an SR fitted...

[BigMuz]

I agree with Shifty.

Even if the only advantage is not having to deal with euro cunts for pars and advice it is worth it.

and yeah reckon you'd be pretty spot on with 7k, that would have my engine/box combo installed in claytons car and driving.... or very very close.

cunts we are indeed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seen it, heard it, lived it. Ignoring it anyway :D

[Shifty]

Clayton, let it be said in advance for whenever it becomes relevant:

I told you so

Seriously mate you're asking for a world of hurt. Clapped out Mercedes clunker where verything is expensive and/or custom vs a proven package that you can test-drive in another car & easily get spares for.

The SR is the best idea I've had in ages.

[Cal]

Pity they sound like arse.

[Marv]

Yeah, will stick with the Merc donk. Got a good solid lead on a gearbox package in the US and the guy is willing to help with packaging so that should resolve driveline issues.

Then I just need a turbo or two.....(and a thousand other things).

Go hard. Don't give in to the truck engine-loving neanderthals.

[Sketchy]

Sif SR this thing. Ten gays. Stick with the benz motor and go hard.

[psi999]

Lol i just want to sell my SR shit - im getting out of it too.

[Sketchy]

Oh, and if the SR is such a golden idea, why is Jon selling his?

[psi999]

smashed my car up - no insurance - parting out.

Profit from my misfortune!!!

You cunts are offering me advice like I'm new to euro cars. I've been torturing myself with the fuckers on and off since I owned a BMW 2002 back in 1993. And there was nothing like today's comparative ease of getting information and parts off the internet.

I still keep coming back to them.

Even if the only advantage is not having to deal with euro cunts for pars and advice it is worth it.

This is the truest thing said in this thread.
