ich finde so bringt das Video wenig - 1/4 vom Bild ist das Dach, die Kamera sollte viel tiefer sein - es wäre viel besser, wenn man permanent den Tacho und den Drehzahlmesser sehen könnte. Dann sieht man, zB wie hoch der Motor dreht bei bestimmten Geschwindigkeiten usw.
@@ApexRace True that, still remember most press cars, back in 1996, having the Magma Red interiors. Yours is a very unusual combination, certainly not many Lotos Yellows around. Siam Beige was specced way more often - have two R170s with that spec. Classier, but... less exclusive. Congrats :)
@@ApexRace thank you very much for the reply! 🙂 I am looking for a R170 as a daily driver for my mum, maybe an automatic will also do the job. Your video gave me a good insight!
@@tobifzzle kein Thema. Vielleicht liegt es nicht am Kompressor aber wie gesagt hatte ne c180 mit kompressor da ist die Steuerkette nach 140 tsd drauf gegangen. Denke aber Rost ist eh der größere Feind
How does it drive? Is this one better to have (because it is lighter) then the V6 Slk 320? And if you tune this you can have even more hp then the 320.
No, it isn´t. The V6 has a much better sound. And with a manual transmission you got lots of fun when you put "the pedal to the metal". Believe me, i had one. Funny, it had the same interior colour.
Markus Wieding do any of you guys have any tips, just bought a 5 speed 1999 but I have the money to mod it out as fast as I possibly can, what’s it’s potential?
No, you still move around 8 Liters when going country side, 11 liters in citys which leads to combined of around 9.8 smth what mine adds up to. So the rated is pretty accurate, this is a fuel sucker compared to modern cars. Buts its a lot of fun non the less
Love your video man - I have the same vehicle and I want to put that radio in it, can you reply with the link so I can buy it ? And is there any way you can make a video how you wired it @ApexRace
Pharaoh Production normally any regular radio works as long as it’s not like a screen one but your front speakers are 5 1/2 and you speakers behind the seats are subwoofers so if your replace them you’re gonna have to get a amplifier that’s small enough to fit
If you haven’t figured it out, I made a thread on slk world a while back www.slkworld.com/threads/guide-how-to-install-pioneer-mvh-series-stereo-in-r170-facelift.555008/

Ja wie bei den neueren Videos?
That color is unique~! Great~!
hahah for me it was a little bit strange.. black, yellow and then some wood trim
Lotos Yellow, you don't see that every day
@@portuguesepetrolhead back in the days Mercedes wanted a more "youth" image I guess thats the reason for that color

@@portuguesepetrolhead but the material of the interior is not of such good quality... shows his age what about yours?
Man I love this car
i will never sell it.
I have a yellow slk , would love to find a yellow interior !
Would you choose an automatic over a manual? Is the automatic reliable? Thank you
I would go for a manual. I was driving the same Engine in a manual and it was way more fun as the automatic.
@@ApexRace thank you very much for the reply! 🙂 I am looking for a R170 as a daily driver for my mum, maybe an automatic will also do the job. Your video gave me a good insight!
@@tobifzzle Then I would not go for the Supercharger Version
@@ApexRace du bist ja Deutscher.. Und ich schreib auf englisch :D sorry.. Warum würdest du da nicht die version mit kompressor nehmen?

I liked the supercharger a lot ... instant power even with a smaller engine
No, it isn´t. The V6 has a much better sound. And with a manual transmission you got lots of fun when you put "the pedal to the metal". Believe me, i had one. Funny, it had the same interior colour.

@@jettchico8559 hi mate since money isn’t a problem engine swap it to a BMW S85B50 and get yourself a super charger.
Not sure about the yellow interior...
Is the field economy better when driving normally then rated?
We shall embrace the fact that the Fuel consumption is allright for the fact that its supercharged
I was just about to set up mine

I have such a car, black. The low speed was not very helpful to understand the qualities of the car.
LOL BMW JUST GOING THERE LIEK NOTHING ON 120 is great :D
Is it noisy on high speed?
Mine is very quiet at high speed. No rattles, smooth quiet ride.
It creaks at high speed.
