What car is your son drivig? And what's done to it? Cuz I love the jdm look almost better then germen tuning. But not quit.

I never liked the 94 facelift till I saw your car. Now I'm a believer! Your car makes it look right! Regards, Eric

Thank you for the AMGish look.
Is the engine stock 177HP?
Are you moding the engine?
Amg cars are much faster then the 3.0 W124.

LOVE IT>

I'm working on mine.

Wish it was a 5sp. Has anyone done a Tranny Swap?

That car is a e420 which is rated for 275hp out of a 4.2l v8, named the m119. The 300e has a 177hp 3.0l I6, named the m103. The AMG models are indeed faster. The m103, which your car has, is capable of immense power when turbo charged(check the stickys, 12v turbo thread). You can swap the tranny with a 190e 16v 5 speed.

The best manual trans from mercedes is the Getrag unit fitted to the 16v models. Roman used them with his beast although the 650hp was a little too much for them.
