Insurance? They were getting £200 a year out of me just in admin fees, bastards. So I just got a trade policy, dont worry about it now. Might try and get the wheels on tomorrow.

it wil have pimp as fuck wheels... BUT IT WONT WORK! hahahaha, quality! hurry up with getting then wheels on :p

Sweet car mate!

How much is a traders policy at the age of 22 if you dont mind me asking?

Don't bother posting again till its on Compos

Thats more important than fixing it

awesome on toast

Traders insurance is the way forward, my mate got the loan of a Ferrari 355 on his 23rd birthday from a fella he knows that owned a car dealership..... no fair. I want rich friends... and trader insurance!

Can you imagine a set of blended/colourcoded Berg cup style arches on that Merc with the 16x10s? Oozes awesomenessity

Might not work, but its a pretty good looking ornament Will get round to it, got the cosworth going again after 6 months of being off the road today.

Shit pic, but I cant be bothered to roll it out of the workshop. Sitting on the piss as well. No one does any lower than 60mm springs for these! Will have to go custom.

Needs some stretch, bit of trimming and a touch of camber, will be tioght like a tioger, but they'll go.

That is going to look awesome! Wheels look ace!

Have you had your 13" compomotive turbos refured yet? If so got any pics?

piiiiiiiiiiiiiimp.

how much was traders ins phil? i'm 20 and 21 in july next year, thinkin bout it.

looks sick

how can i get hold of a trades policy?? I've had 4 cars this year

pussihole.

I'm not surprised you broke it, but I am impressed. Wheels look spiffing old boy.

Figured out the problem, only the fuel pump relay. Also found some rear spacers bolts to the hub on the rear, which means I can run a 245 with no trimming. Woop.

13" compos should be coming back next week with any luck.

Might have to chuck em on the black polo and have a mini me mercedes, stick the 190 grill on again

Rich barstard lol. Get some pics up with these new rims and some diffing about the driveway lol.

Always happens, on all my cars, the exhaust has to come off.

yeah i remember having to take you to get your polo exhaust at ed38

car looks pimp as fuck mate

I wish! Got this thing diiiirt cheap.

Yeah, was pretty funny, ripped all the valance up though. Always happens on most of my cars, hence I'm thinking...

Mint, looking forward to seeing pics of them

Been delayed a bit now, decided they need to have lairy dishes, so I bought a mk2 and some berg arches. Will be a while

On the plus side, got this going and booked this in for its mot today. I took the extended route. Jesus cunting christ its quick, accelerates like a G40, but in a car this big, then it broke!

G40 pulled its lard arse quite well though. Know what the problem is now though.

Fuel pump relay - £300 from mercedes!

So, I bought another 300CE-24 for £400.

Means I've got a spare everything pretty much for when it breaks again

legend. car looks ace!

rude, i've got a merc 190e i drove to croatia with 3 mates. still got it at home, can't sell and don't wanna split.

had those rubber helper things at the back too, but still was slammed on its aarse!!

nice find ! does it run properly ? i've got a 3.0 Mosselman TT got mine @ 22 aswell ,l but the fuel controller stopped working so working on getting that fixed, and installing extra injector.s get up more pic's!! Compos look FAT!

as for the drop get the -60mm springs and remove the bump pads sit's nice, just wrap some hose around the bottom of the spring.

did you get any history with the car like where the conversion was done?

Edited 11 January, 200917 yr by WOLOP

190's are kool. I've still got 2 of the 2.3 16s. I let a mate drive one, he loved it so much hes buying it

Wolop, fuel controller, is it a merc or mosselman part? Yours a 24v as well? Yeah, was going to get some 60mm HnRs for a 500, and trim a coil off. Then some custom shocks. History, found a bit of paper with a quote for £7k from Bruce Durrant engineering, whos my old college lecturer Him or hughes of beckonsfield seemed to do alot of the conversions at the time.

Mines a 12v, The fuel controller is the mosselman part and they arn't avalible anymore. I'm modifying the inlet plenum to house 2 extra injectors to flow more fuel on boost. I've replaced it with a Split second additional injector controller, still have a while to go until it's working 100%.

I'm not sure if you can do the same thing with the 24v does your Mosselman fuel controller have a vacum feed?
