Well, not quite. ITGB is organizing a GTG with the very active E30 M3 group in Northern CA in September. Official 190REV! post:

W201-16V GTG with rival E30-M3 in September 2002

Either reply here, PM ITGB direct, or post on 190REV! Hope to meet most of you 16v Cossie's out there.

Cheers,
Joel

Where did all the CA W201-16v's go? Update: Sept. 07, 2002 is the day for the W201-16v/E30-M3 meet in Tiburon, CA. I've met most of the NorCal 16v and a host of other W201's, where are the Mercedes Shop crew?

The following Sept. 15, 2002, 190REV! is holding a BBQ GTG if you are interested in that one...

Cheers,
Joel

all i can say is, i'm happier to own an M-B. eventhough, i'm having a hard time searching for more horses, i think our M-B circle is more mature than the competition...

Very nice picture of the Golden Gate Bridge with 16 valves dominating the north bound lane. My car would have felt right at home with its other siblings. I miss California!

More power to you guys!

That's a few days from now! I would love to but unfortumately, I can't.

Have a nice time and drive carefully!

What type of exhaust is on the rauchsilber one with the twin tips in the pics? thanks.

MBZ190E16V · #8 09-23-2002, 12:39 AM

thats a magnaflow exhaust. i am planning to eventually replace it with a supersprint cat-back exhaust system. the one on there now is jus a muffler.

meek · #9 09-23-2002, 11:02 AM

Where did you find replacements? I need an exhaust badly(got a hole in it) and all I find is Timevalve, Ansa and Eberspraecher. I'd like it to be throaty and maybe visible like your magnaflow.

MBZ190E16V · #10 09-23-2002, 11:44 AM

Ansa is pretty good. u could also look into Remus. heres the Magnaflow website. check out their store locator. but another one that is really really cheap is Arospeed. u can find a few universal ones on ebay for like 75 bucks and a few guys on mercedes shop have them and they sound really deep. ask Alon (ASHMAN).

meek · #11 09-23-2002, 12:23 PM

Thanks, I'll check them out. Do you have all your cats and resonator?

MBZ190E16V · #12 09-23-2002, 01:57 PM

ya, but im planning to switch to a high flow cat
