1988 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3 16 project car

This is a car of many lessons. The first being; don't spend more for a car on line than you are willing to lose in Vegas. Billed as a daily driver on E-bay this car sold for about five K. Not a bad price for a "Daily Driver." Unfortunately for this car to become a "Daily Driver." It will need another 5K in repairs. The buyer was glad to get out of it for a few hundred

Love you 2 buddy. You are right though. I make my living bringing 30 years of knowledge and expierence to bear on keeping my customers cars reliably on the road. I do charge alot. And I'm worth it.

This old man is insulting this classic iconic car.

My wife, who used to be the assistant service manager at a Mercedes dealer laughed her head off when she saw this. You don't know what you are talking about Rocketjbob. Keep on ripping people off.

The "intake air lines" are about a dollar a foot. IDIOT!

How do you "over tighten" a tensioner? A ratcheting tensioner has to be taken apart the put back in with the chain in the car. It will then reset itself. What a dope!

I think it's not 2.3 16V but an average 2.3 sorry ..

Fucking idiots there is no 1988 2.3-16 in the states. Only 86' and 87' unless it is grey market like mine. Anyway i would not turbocharge the thing or supercharge ever. Your gonna need to do an itb conversion if you want that thing to roar. They are a little hard to tune, but once you get them tuned they run like hell. It would be the best for this N/A vehicle. I have documented plans of how to do it if you want. Also I am warning you now, the engine is not the easiest choice to work on.
