[shorty]

This sounds like its gonna be an interesting project , fair play to yea .

Id be keeping the log book as a 2.4 to avoid the hike in road tax

hi im looking for the front section of this air filter housing its off a C55 W203

 

[horgantrevor]

ill be home the weekend and ill take a few pictures of the start of the change over

im going to strip the engine change a few general seals and clean up

 

[horgantrevor]

today i fitted

new springs c43 ones stock mercedes part and shocks b6 all round new wishbones up front and new drag-link and idler arm and drag-link damper

i took the car for a spin with the v6 still in her what a difference it made on handling it handled like a go cart i know of one corner on the road i drove and the computer would always kick in at that corner if driven hard it didn't tonight i did it twice the grip was very good and it felt like i was getting the power down better

a well a small start but a step in the right direction

i have a few more parts i have the full air intake system now for the c43

the ECU ,EIS , and two keys and steering lock turned up all from the same car that was crashed

on the look out for a gearbox , and diff

i may have a prop shaft sorted but i wonder would the v6 one work on the v8 some part numbers are coming up the same on several bits


and the diff would a c36 work or would it be better to look for a c43 or e55 one

 

[horgantrevor]

could any one take a few pictures of the c43 engine bay for me one of the inner rad area
the intake system on the front of the car

and also the brake master cylinder as i may need to change that also

it would help a lot thank you

 

[horgantrevor]

a few pictures the de-cat from olly a nice bit of stainless and the v8 c43 manifolds

also the engine with the air intake which andy helped me get and i got the pipes for the intake from germany

ps . never mind the mess in the garage stuff every were

 

[horgantrevor]

i also picked up a nice set of winter alloys saturday for small money not my cup of tea but they need a clean and they will do the job

 

[horgantrevor]

could any one check the part number on the ECU for me please

and the key looks like one from the state 's

 

[Justin1600]

Don't know if this is any good to you mate ?

Good progress by the way

 

[Justin1600]

could any one check the part number on the ECU for me please

and the key looks like one from the state 's
