W209 CLK55 AMG, 89' E300
89' W124 300E tuning help
i'm really sorry for repeating the same question but my dad and i have decided to just spend a couple grand on tuning our 300E for me to drive since my dad bought a 03' CLK55 AMG. I already have the 17" AMG wheels with 245 rear tires on and the car is getting its fenders rolled and is getting a new suspension system to basically lower the car and stiffen the ride. I was wondering what body kits i can put on the 300E and if there are any performance mods i can do to the car like ECU or exhaust or air intake or anything and money really isn't any issue and neither is how much power gain, i am just looking to get anything i can out of the engine. thanks

ex 300E driver
Speed from a 300E?? Nah! To gain a mere 30HP a RennTech upgrade on that motor will cost about $5,000. Take $2000 and build a custom low boost turbo set-up. Looks? oh yeah, just do the 1995 E320 facelift ($1000+paint), smoked taillights and order the Wald body kit (about $1,800). A replica is out, that runs about $900.
Modding a 300E can be costly, if you are doing it right.
Do it right, or be sorry in the end.
