@@AutoAfflicted awesome man. I love anything v12 related. I hope you give it a louder exhaust. Lol. I had a clk430 and absolutely loved it bit i hit a deer and it was written off
Even though Mercedes is one of the few manufacturers that still make good looking cars you really can't beat that era. Germany was firing on all cylinders during that time.
Love this car. Been on the hunt for 4 w124s. A diesel wagon, 190e cossie, 500e, and 300ce…. These are just the pinnacle of car manufacturers. They don’t make em like they used to. If you find someone around with any of these lmk!!
brother it neeeeeeds a limited slip diff Other than that and the lack of euro headlights/headlight wipers its nice. 90s stereo and original ECU are so sick.
I have 1988 300ce gray market car, black, gray interior, one owner, bought new in Germany and brought to USA. 5peed stick, very rare in USA, $15,000, located in colorado
I can watch this all day honestly. I got my license less than a year ago and this is as my older brothers first car and i want this myself but with all the Ulez issues it’s just not convenient and it really makes me sad 😢
@ I will likely get a be golf or something just to get to work etc for now but when I’m able to move away to a new area then Yh I’ll get it and work on it. I really want a c124 coupe and drive all over Europe in it. That would be a dream come true

Really cool car! You inspired me to do the same thing with my S124 300-24v with the KE-Jetronic My turbocharger arrived yesterday. I'm very excited Greetings from Germany
Will you upgrade the ignition to R8 individual coil packs?? The 24v m104 can be a bit of a headache but the 12v... Ooh baby that's where it's at. You are from Germany tho so probably an abundance of parts for good prices...??
@@sjaakvanderelst3084 I actually wanted to leave the ignition original. Why could the M104 a bit of a headache? Please explain it to me. The Parts are quite expensive, in germany and the german TÜV says no 😁
Hahaha 🙏🏼 - it seems like around 12-14psi you would need your augment fuel system, above that I believe the head will need stronger valve springs and pistons should be considered… but also the drivetrain at that point as well
do the w201 or estate with a m104.980 i would like to know what changes did u bring or what adjustments did u do to the CIS ke jetronic system ,and other matters regarding the engine air cleaner adapters for the flex plate of the CIS and so on,I really liked your videos about the car they are amazing but not as detailed from the adjustments and adaptations this is just a costructive point of view ,thank you and can't wait to see the 190e build!
@@AutoAfflictedbro this changes everything 😭 I was already going to buy the hedgehog evo 2 kit because the riezene one is like 20k but I never knew what I wanted to do engine wise thanks subbed

The m102 can be turbo charged in the same way and does well. Not quite as much power gain as the m103… I believe Kangaroos team does have a turbo manifold for the m102

Got a 1988 W126 300SE and considering going down the turbo route as in your car. Do you need to upgrade the head gasket or can the stock one handle it.
The stock gasket can handle boost, I opted not to upgrade mine at first and did have a gasket failure mostly due to the gasket getting corroded when the car sat for 8 years prior to my ownership… when the headgasket goes, the turbo will likely go due to polluted oil.. and the flush process to get creamy coolant oil out of the engine is a pain and cost$$ plenty for flush fluid, at least once full flush of oil and the rebuild. If you have the time and $, refreshing the front and top of the engine and fitting a new upgraded headgasket is well worth it
Definitely not to everyone’s taste. For the steering wheel, I didn’t want to spend $1200 on vintage wheel or $350 on a knock off, mostly I’ve had positive response. And the headlights, these were a temporary and very polarizing solution on the way to finding euro glass for a good price… people either loved them or hated them.
I was just wondering what your saw, the car had a cheap paint job at some point.. def looks better than if it had 30 year old paint and bad clear coat but it’s not great

What a car
I have one 190E 2.6
So smooth, sounds so good and its super strong
i have one 300CE stock from the original owner just with 150k kilometres. Very nice and smooth. Cheers from Spain!
Such great cars!
I have the same😍 cheers🙂
Just got back from a 4 week holiday and was happy to see another upload of this car. I was then sad to hear you say that its sold

@TheCluelessEnthusiast definitely doing exhaust on the V12, the clk is fully tuned since the early 2000s
A true car enthusiast appreciates the quality, design and resilience of the W124 line up.
So true
The Wagons are sooooo cool!
I couldn’t agree more
I've never been in the naysayer camp and well done for not believing them without any evidence and goin right ahead with it beautiful car well done
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Even though Mercedes is one of the few manufacturers that still make good looking cars you really can't beat that era. Germany was firing on all cylinders during that time.
I couldn’t agree more
Looking good.
They also love being Supercharged, which I have had 3 of in the UK, 2 of which I did myself.
That’s cool, I was not aware of the supercharger option
@AutoAfflicted It wasn't an option from MB, maybe AMG. The 2 I did I installed Eaton chargers.

There are a few 300ce for sale - a nice red one in Jersey for like $3500 - a black a grey 320 here in salt lake for $12k
@@AutoAfflictedget out. I was looking everywhere. How do I contact you directly? Also looking for those sweet 560secs. These things drip :)
Yes, thats how you do it brother. I feel another project coming on!😁
Yes! The CLK55 is basically built as is … but the CL600 I just got needs some mods
Awesome video
Greatest Merc the 124
Sold them new for Mercedes in London.
🙏🏼 amazing time for Benz, I just picked up a W140 CL600, another tank like Mercedes
damn, seems clean - goodluck with the 2001 - i just picked up a 08 E Class v6.
🙏🏼 welcome to the Benz life
Really miss mine, which i had to sell due to work commitments. Non turbo, C124 300-24 Sportline in Smoke Silver with Cream and Wood interior.😢
Sounds beautiful

Monkey Wrench Mike loves the W124 also. He has a few now as well, he also has two estates.
The estates are awesome! I will have one someday
@@AutoAfflicted Monkey Wrench may even want to sell one of them. I have loved them. Have you thought about finding a Euro Spec ?
@miketyler4536 I would consider a euro spec - I’m looking for a inexpensive estate probably
The car, the intro, and the tracksuit all 10/10 🔥
What is the weak point for turning the PSI up? Fuel system? Internals?
Hahaha 🙏🏼 - it seems like around 12-14psi you would need your augment fuel system, above that I believe the head will need stronger valve springs and pistons should be considered… but also the drivetrain at that point as well
Straight outta belly son unnnh!
The CLK is exactly that, I love that movie
Beg fo dolla! Reminds me of sosa’s c class boxy w big rims
Great mod w the turbo!!⚡️⚡️
Yes the CLK was Bundz at the end and he gave it to Sincere
Looking forward to the 190e
Yes! Not sure what I’ll did there but it prime for mods

My turbo series does cover some of those details, I should do a video specific to the fine adjustments of the fuel and ignition system
@@AutoAfflicted that would be amazing honestly
When I saw you put back the monoblocks I sensed something is going on
Good eye, I think the Brabus might looks good on a CLK
@@AutoAfflicted for sure, well we are waiting for that wagon then!
I bought a 190e I thought it had a 4 cylinder but I’m pretty sure my 2.6 has the m103 ? So now that I know that should I build it ?
There is a 2.6 M103 and you can turbo it, I say do it ! Check out the turbo build series I linked in the description- tells you basically everything

make it manual, then make a video.
