My W124 3 litre Turbo Diesel - Modernised.
My W124 3 litre Turbo Diesel - Modernised.
Here in Japan the roads are well maintained and well drained - and winters are mild, so cars tend to last very well compared to other countries.
I really should get on with fitting the 500E front seats and heating system; once I have restored the leather and matched it to the rest of the interior...
Also want to have the console panels in the centre laminated in twill weave carbon fiber and the roof re-trimmed in Alcantara for which I already have a great contact for.
What I'm interested in doing now is getting a bit more power. Ideally without having to upgrade the turbo, but if I do - then I'd like to use the existing manifold & flange.
Main priorities would be to keep it rock-solid reliable (Including the auto transmission) and reasonably economic. My wife is the main driver and she's not at all into going fast.
So the car only gets some stick when I'm behind the wheel. I've tried searching but not yet found any threads with info on how to upgrade.
Can anybody make any suggestions or point me in the right direction please? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks for the compliments guys. I was lucky to find a good example - it even came with the updated headlights, bonnet & trunk from the post-facelift models when I bought it.
