About to replace the windshield and bkades from my experience in the fall/winter, maybe put lambo butterfly doors onitt asswell to celebrate the new warmer weather, and save tight city porking worries

[@jacekaniorallygenetics2212]

I love 3UZFE in my ls430 but you can consider m156 as the more powerful engine in your 203 coupe. Anyway beautiful job. Congrats

[@DanteSwanepoel]

Thanx It was the affordable option 😁

[@petersim8884]

Awesome work. Any issues with wiring and making all the standard merc options work on the dash?

[@DanteSwanepoel]

Hi i wanted to install a mercedes E500/S500 engine an G-Box but i have had to many automatic transmission issues with my C230K so i went against that idea so i chose the Lexus 3UZ-FE complete engine g-box and wiring. (More reliable)

[@jacekaniorallygenetics2212]

You can swap m113 oraz m156 + manual gearbox with no issues

[@RicerBenz]

@@jacekaniorallygenetics2212 Hi do you think M104 with autobox would fit into W203? Sump issues maybe?🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AkashTareeno]

You reckon it’s possible to put a c63 engine in a c220d w205 ?

[@DanteSwanepoel]

Well yes I think🤔 the w205 is even bigger than my car in the front 🙂

[@AkashTareeno]

@@DanteSwanepoel From that prespective yes but I wanted to know because these new models have a lot of electrical components to run the engine such as the ECU compatabilities etc lol :(

[@DanteSwanepoel]

@@AkashTareeno Jip there will always be something that you need to change on the electronics

[@Tremendous-one]
