Not sure if the 1st part of this question really belongs here or in the interior section, but since it's a performance mod, thought I'd stick it here...
My w210 corners very nicely indeed on it's AMG wheels and lowered suspension, so well in fact that I'm the weakest link I've got nice leather powered seats in the front, but under heavy cornering I almost slide off the seat, so can't really push the car to it's limits.
W210 AMG seats look almost identical to the ones already fitted, but W202 AMG C class seats look like they've got a lot more lateral support. Will they fit a W210 without major modification? If not, does anyone know of any other seats which will fit a W210?
I guess if there's no better alternative for the seats I could try wearing rubber trousers to improve my grip, but I suspect a photo thread about fitting C class seats to a W210 will be a whole lot more palatable than a photo thread about fitting a middle-aged man into rubber trousers
And the second, more exciting but more pipe-dreaming part - I noticed the W203 C32 AMG uses the same engine as my E320 W210, so presumably I could drop the C32's supercharger (and block if necessary) straight into my W210. Probably not viable since scrap C32s are rarer than hen's teeth, but has anyone tried dropping a C32 engine into another model? And yes, I know I could stick the 5.5 v8 in there instead, but I like the car's balance with the smaller, lighter v6 under the bonnet
