  • Here at Hoonigan, it's pretty much a given that old-school DTM footage is playing somewhere on our screens. The late 80s/early 90s were one of the finest points of automotive racing in Germany. But it's very much a "don't meet your heroes" situation sometimes when it came to the street versions of these DTM monsters. You'd be hard pressed to say these days that the 190e Evo is "fast", and it definitely didn't have the greatest fitment in the world. So Tim Lajambe took it upon himself to create what in his mind is the perfect 190e street car.

      My dream build would be a w202 c class or e190 evo 2, I’d put full dtm style road legal body kits upgrade the internals, upgrade exhaust and maybe put in a bitching sequential 😍😍shame it would cost upwards of £50,000!!!

      I have a 230 ce (w124 coupe 1989) the engine on my car is on the brink to becoming broken (lots of knocking noises and leaking everywhere)
      I have not decided whether i should just restore the old engine or just buy an ls engine and swap the hole kit (transmission included, even the suspension should be upgraded when swapping from 4 cyl to v8 i believe)
      And btw boschs ke jettronic problems make me roll my eyes... Thats why im also considering swapping to another engine..)

      I'll be honest, I do kinda agree with them though. There are so many Mercedes engines (like the m103 this car could come with) that are SICK and nobody touches them in America. Only a few people who mess with them and they're all in Europe, most notably a guy running 1300hp on the street with a mostly stock m104. They're insanely strong because they started out as a diesel, which is why you can stick the om605 diesel crank in the m104 and build a 3.6 stroker with mostly factory parts. Cool ass engines, wish this car had one in it.

    • @zerodamonsta942
      @zerodamonsta942 4 роки тому +15

      Un Listed the reason why people don’t touch Them is the after market support. When you have a engine nobody don’t know how to tune ect. It’s kinda hard to do and it takes a lot of money to get parts. When you can get a v8 literally from a junkyard and get cheap parts and make great power. You’re right though it would have been great to do a different swap but I understand why he didn’t.

    • @pkuudsk9927

      My guess is that they ran out of time,as with most show cars , and it will be getting Vibrant clamps as he intends to drive this car some day. Plane old hose clamps would look like shit even t type would look out of place in such a clean built engine bay. The attention to detail on the rest of the car makes me think he put some on and said take them off .

Excellent result, we do know that a Mercedes V8 will be really expensive, and an LS just makes a lot of sense on this application.

    Used to see alot of the stock 190E usually only with a NA engine. But this is still cool though. There was a few drawbacks with that one, rust especially, but we use salt on our roads as a de-icer in the winter. But another thing to remember is that it has a cast-iron oil-pan as the lowest point of the car....

    This was a dream of mine at one time, i bought a 190e, then continued to spend my money smoking weed. The engine blew (timing chain) and I just abandoned that whole idea completely.. I realized, i didn't want to build cars as much as I once felt like i wanted to anyways.. LoL!

    Any pictures of the Evo1 you mention having? I have seen the cosworth 2.5-16v at your shop, but never saw any evo1
