They are very fun cars when the suspension is freshened up...both cars here are class of 87.

My Brother Frank and I went into the local MBZ dealership (in '86-87) and just sat in one (was black/black int)

The sales guy knew my Parents and let my Brother Frank (about 18 but very skilled guy) drive the 190 16V,

Frank said the shifter was so precise is was really difficult to get used to quickly.

I was in the back (age 15)

This is my favorite thread !

Gorgeous build and great, great color !

Yeah I have been fortunate to have 3 190e 16V. The first was a 1 off car from Renntech, one of the early Renntech cars. The second, I found on craigslist locally with 51K original miles (lil old lady owned it, bought it new) and I couldn't bring myself to modify it, so I flipped it pretty fast. The 3rd was my euro version that I built up. I had to sell it to fund the current blue Porsche. If you get bored, here is all 3.

Looks great!

I think the wheel lettering looks cool, but want to see it at full stance after the corner balancing.

But I was curious:

That's the last time you'll see my car behind yours! JK. Pics don't do your car justice. Spectacular paint job. I'm sure performance is equal to appearance. Those guys are second to none. Hope to see you at some events soon.

Ok so while we were in there we repacked the wheel bearings.

[nippy]

Cleaned up rotors. When I do the suspension down the road I will clean up the undercarriage and powder coat and rebuild the calipers.

[nippy]

Cant loosen or remove the damn hard line off the caliper to attach the steel braided brake line on the last corner....UGGG! $30 part holding me up over the weekend! I could be driving tonight...

[JeremyD]

advance auto have a collection of lengths for "euro" brake lines - just have to bend them up a little (with two cars with brake mods you lean to get creative)

[nippy]

I got it via Pelican, goes on Monday.

[nippy]

Lowered euro spec today. Aligned tomorrow and she comes home.Images are a lil blurry because they were sent to me very small and I had to resize them.

[nippy]

She turned out pretty nice.....

[arrivederci]

Looks sweet. Congrats!
