Well to most people I drive a old ass Mercedes, little do they know they are looking at a piece of art. My 190E 2.3-16v Cosworth is 1/2000 imported to USA, of course there are grey market ones but they don't run right here (wrong compression ratio etc). It is also 5 Speed manual with a Getrag dogleg transmission which is very interesting with first being to the left then down, but I learned stick on it so feels natural to me. I know ill be fucked up when I drive a normal stick but its cool...
I have had this car for probably about 6 months and couldn't be happier. A little about my self... Im a young one at the age of 17, I hate BMW with a passion and will drive a Mercedes till the day I die. My dad is a Mercedes and BMW mechanic so I get a lot of help from him and I am very fortunate to have him as a Mechanic. I was referred to this site by a Friend. Here is some pictures of my car.. I just recently bought some authentic EVO 2 Rims put some stickers up on my windowsss and ya.... I am open for ideas or suggestions. ill have way more pictures up tomorrow.

oh man sweet car bro.
damn all i had when i was 17 was a sr5-gts conversion ae86.lol whatever you do man, KEEP THIS CAR CLEAN ! ! its too rare to go ruin with some trendy mods and what not. I'm only saying this because you're so young and people around your age tend to follow the crowd when it comes to doing things. build the suspension for starters. oh and welcome to the forum  if you wanna trade for a cleean s13 hatch lemme know bro.ahaha. not kidding. -------------------- |

Deolio : my plans for this car is to eventually put in the H&R lowering springs, bilstein front suspension, rebuild the timing chain, exhaust more minor things I don't have that much cash flow. It will drop it a bit but I dont want it completely slammed, I have another 190E that I am planning to slam and or turn into a track car... not sure. Recreational drifting count ha?
BrokeSLC : I had been looking for this car for over a year before I found one worthy. It was on SD craigslist, My dad and I drove down and bought it. This car will be up for resale pretty soon so If any one is interested let me know. PAPA D : who are you haha you and how do you know my name, But you spell it wrong. -------------------- Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16v

I got lowering springs but IDK about completely slamming haha, oh and Coilovers dont fit on that car haha so im out of luck. Cant get any decent BBS for that car it is 5X112 and I cant find any BBS RS that are not 5x114.3. So I just got the EVO 2 Rims which are the ones from the 190E 2.3-16 EVO 2 Model -------------------- Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16v

I love these things. I used to see one in my neighborhood all the time a few years ago but now it's disappeared. I say build the suspension and replace any worn bushings and call it a day. Thee cars are fun.
PS I know the guy who took those photos of your car heh. --------------------   |

is this your first car? My friend had a 16v in highschool, he beat the shit out of it and it was pretty dumped. Interior was falling apart, exhaust rattle, and tons of miles.. However it was a fun car to drive. He even offered to trade it for my corrado..
if you decide to sell it post a for sale ad on this forum! --------------------  |
