i use photoshot for all of my scale work...dpi, res, actual size...i dont know any online or computer tricks

i am sorry i was no tmore clear about the brakes - the flex lines are from chassis to wheel...

Troutman makes the SS brake lines for about 120 dollars
the whole chassis for ~ 120?

my car was imorted...it has all of the road side stuff - i love the triangle, you pop the trunk and people are like "whats that"

Warning Triangle Pictures
 

Here is a picture

another picture, the bracket
 

If anyone is interested, I have two triangles and two brackets for a w123. Email me if interested.

I just finished chroming both of my headlights, but here is the right side sitting on my bench

Right side installed. I did the left side this weekend, but I dont have any pictures yet.

I installed rice rocket bulbs H4s 65/55 and they suck. I am going to put in my old school OSRAM 100/80 and 55 fogs back in. Those white bulbs are stupid, they dont work.

The blue bulbs work at making brighter light but they also work at blinding other drivers and emmitting less overall light as well! I had some of those on my Talon but didn't care for them so I put the stockers back in, at least for low beams. :)

Those euros look very nice Austin. What do you think about a black grille insert now? :)

Too many projects.

I was going to buy a brand new grill insert. take off the chrome pieces paint the inside black, then put the chrome back on. It would look so mean. I was thinking about red, but it might be overdone. I painted my calipers black so I think it would match nicely.

I'm not sure if I'd like the red or not, I've never seen it before it is kind of hard to visualize. I almost think my chrome are the old ones, I have new ones on the shelf but never got around to it. I used normal black bumper paint (after cleaning in sink and priming with bumper primer paint) and it seems to be slowly getting chips. I heard of a paint on a CTD forum which works well for places like this though, I think it was made by Rustoleum it actually melts the color into the plastic rather than just coating it.

W123 AMG

I favor the black, unless you get the red euro bumpers and stuff. The black helps the chrome stand out so much.

I just looked, my chrome strips are all new except for the center one.

SS AN fittings Oil Cooler lines about $250 using my old parts.

Auto meter pyrometer/boost gauge install with billet aluminum grill (replaces ashtray), with car charger adapter. Requires welding and machining.

I thought you were against using the k&n filters.

Isn't the electric fan less efficient than the mechanical one? Was your fan a vicious coupling one?

What are the advantages of advancing the timing of the IP by 2*?

My mods:

Front central arm rest. My car didn't have one.

Clear front blinkers.

s600 style front grille.

15" alloy wheels.

195/65 r15 Sava Eskimo 3 tires. They're snow tires and it was a big mistake buying them as we don't see snow in Tirana :o. Once they wear out I'll go for 205/60 r15 or 205/55 r15 tires.

Blue led instrument cluster lights.

Led rear reverse lights.

Upgraded the sound system with Kenwood mp3 player (can't remember which one but it's pretty good). In the rear I have 2 6.5" subwoofer speaker powered by a 130W rms amp, front 3" speakers soon to be upgraded to 6.5" door mounted speakers.

Boost controller, and boost adjusted to about 14.5-14.7psi.

LPG injection. I'm still tuning it. The LPG turns on at 10psi. I'll move the injection from pre turbo to post turbo so I can get more air in the engine and probably benefit from the much cooler temps the lpg provides.

EGT and boost gauges. My 190D has a space right above the mp3 player and the gauges fit perfectly there. There's space for 3 gauges. Probably the 3rd gauge will be an AIT gauge.

Forgot to add:

16 flat plate heat exchange from kaori. Looped return. Will add some electric heating to the spin on fuel filter. Running about 10-20% fresh sunflower oil blended with diesel. Sorry we don't have biodiesel over here.

The mods I'm hoping to add:

Improve the lpg injection. As mentioned above move the injection post turbo. Find a way so I can inject different amounts of LPG at different boost levels. If anyone has any idea how to do this PLEASE let me know!

Add an intercooler. I'll look for a Saab intercooler but they're very rare here.

Upgrade the turbo to a vnt one.

Upgrade the brakes. My front rotors are less than 1 year old so I'll feel pretty bad when I'll upgrade them.
