Well over summer I focused on performance which included a 3.27 LSD, bigger sway bars, fresh bushings and trailing arms all around, playing with the intake, and some more exhaust work which turned out to be a PITA to weld! And chrome exhaust tips

Now that winter is almost here I've been going more towards aesthetics, including a set of 16v fender flares that I filled, sanded, primed, and painted. Just saving up money now to get the rest of the car painted and I will have the flares installed professionally.

Here's what I did last week though

Powder coated some things red for a bit of "pizzaz". Also used VHT Flameproof spray paint on the exhaust manifolds and it has held up really well. Couldn't stand the old white/rust finish lol

Gauges from ebay. Quality actually seems pretty decent. Made in Taiwan


And a nice photo shoot at Semiahmoo Resort

 

Love it dude! Totally jealous!

How was the 3.27 in terms of acceleration? I'm really considering that bad-boy for a mod.

 

love what you did man... looks legit very nice man

 

Looking good!
I especially like the tips and those guages remind me of the 16V - real GT interior.

I really think you should add an oil temp guage. ( That's what the Brabus Tempamatic is, but it is designed to look like a stock part of the W124 dash).

Nice job!

 

Saijin_Naib,
At first I didn't think there was any performance gain from the LSD, but I recently had to switch back to my OE unit, and the car feels considerably more sluggish.

But yea, the LSD is a great mod for these cars. Lots of fun too!

I actually got a oil temp gauge with the set, but these gauges are all 2" diameter, so when I measured it out for all 3 there was barely any room left. I have a spare wood trim piece that I could cut out for 3 but idk how it will turn out...

And thanks for the compliments! I've spent lots of time figuring ways to keep her looking classy, yet sporty

 

Very very nice Mr Wolfe!!
