Other than the color, thats a bad ass car. I love 80's german cars..... even some Mercs.

WORD.

I can't actually tell from the article, but this car actually existed and it's a replica? What happened to the original cars?

The car itself is a replica, BUT these were actually built back in the day.

Cool alternative to the 2.3/5-16.

The hot setup for a monster W201 is to stick in the engine from the W202 C36 AMG (Benz's answer to the Euro E36 M3) and the rest of the drivetrain (5-speed Getrag, driveshaft, and LSD) from the 2.3-16v.

Pretty cool bit of info there. If I were to do this swap, I'd do the 12v'er.

You can usually find C36 AMG parts cars pretty cheaply because the auto gearbox and/or electronics tend to fail before 100K miles, either of which is a very expensive fix.

Personally, I'm a fan of the Cosworth-designed four bangers. I would definitely prefer to have a proper 16v engine in the car. Just like the E30 M3. Sure, it's faster with an S50 under the hood, but there's just something extra special about that howling S14 under the hood.

I want one so badly. Impossible to find in a 5spd.

It looked pretty sad when I got it.


Rear damage.


A few days later. I'll probably repaint the lid this summer.


I've since replaced this steering wheel with a smaller diameter wheel that uses the same airbag.


A couple of months ago with E320 wheels. I also have some E320 4 pot brakes to install. The ABS module and stock brakes are identical (except for the bolt pattern) to the E30.


Other than the timing chain the engine is a lot like the M20. It was still running KEjet at this point.

More pics, would love to see the rest of the car.
