Modern cars is suchlike a robot

💯💯💯

W203?

@@MD-uu5nt yep, all on my channel

What transmission and flywheel setup are you using? I have a c55 and want to make it a track day car soon and would be a huge improvement over the 722.6 in it

@@Somebabies_ same as mentioned in this video for the most part, it’s all listed on my channel

🙌

Superb build, reminded me of the Meguiars UK Mercedes W114 build and the Hammer racing cars of the 80s

These are amazing! Have you done any work with the M156 engines? Have been daydreaming of a manual swapped C63 for years.

@@anthonysloanmusic I’ve been looking for someone to let me do an M156 6-speed swap, it needs to happen.

I know of a 380SL in red I might be able to poke you guys about, one day.

You just got yourself a new subscriber, love the uniqueness!

I'm generally not into beefcakes, and he does show off his guns all the time and moves his arms a bit like a T-Rex, but, he does seem like a genuinely nice guy, haha. I had not heard of him before he appeared here on the channel, he's fine, albeit a bit awkward sometimes in his humble shyness.

@@Games_and_Music liking guns and being fit does not make a man not humble. rob dahm has a channel by his own name - definately worth checking out, you'll see he's real.

@@piuthemagicman I did not mean literal guns though, i meant his biceps, because he tends to move his arms in such a way that it somehow always flexes them. Like if he wants to point at something, he will often flip his hand so that the palm is up, which of course activates the biceps. Not a lot of palm down moves, unless it's to spread his fingers and flex his triceps. And in general his arms are rarely not in a 90° angle. All the while cropped into a tiny shirt. I mean, sure, flaunt it while you got it, but it does remind me a bit of Instagram "models" "casually" showing off their new tattoos and whatevers all the time. I mean, it sounds like i make a big deal out of it, while it is merely an observation. I did the same with the two Ollies of Top Gear, one Ollie tiptoes around all the time, while the other Ollie walks around like a cowboy in leather chaps (his backwards leaning stance and bowlegs). The reason i mentioned awkward is because he's kinda shy or insecure, or just really humble, which just feels a bit awkward during the interview parts. But all in all i think he's fine, so it's not like a Dahmning review (sorry, had to).

Facts

He should have used a '70s era Merc, instead of an '80s one, not much need for sensors.

@@kristoffermangila But does not the ECU need tons of sensors and stuff to make the engine turn? Or do you use a 3rd party ECU? Greetings from Mercedes-land, where we were never allowed to put such a car legally on the street 🙈

@@kristoffermangila The engine and powertrain are the ones that require sensors, not the chassis. The lack of sensors on the car itself was the problem.

@@MravacKid fair enough... so an '80s or '90s Merc is needed then?

@@kristoffermangila considering the advances in technology, I'm not sure even a 2010s one would be sufficient now... :)

How much is this car in Jordan?

How much it costs?

Yeah, Beirut too. BBC journalist Quentin Somerville posts photos of them all the time. First place I would go to buy a couple.

That body kit is disgusting, all else goid

@@johnprescott7389 well I don't know but , it's Cheap(:

What’s with his accent? I’ve never heard this accent before

Rob and I are both from Michigan

Those engines are stock power, the M113 5.0 was making 302hp and the M113K was making 469hp from factory in their original cars, guys are pushing over 700hp from the M113K. He's just engine swapped them, nothing unusual going on there.

@@TheBaldMiddleAgedMetalHead ah gotcha thanks. I thought when he mentioned the NA engine making 400bhp it sounded a bit high but I could be misremembering the generations and what they produced from the factory.

@@ALMX5DP I guess the non-AMG engine cover kinda confused you. With it, it looks like a standard 5.0 306hp V8, while actually it's a 5.4 supercharged V8 with nearly 500hp and more torque than an F10 M5. That engine and transmission combo is definitely no joke.

@@brunobegic3841 isn’t it the non-supercharged S55 engine that he fitted to that SE280?

@@Anders_HeymSR30 Yes actually. Tbh I didn't really notice until later into the video since I initially thought that non supercharged ones weren't sold in North America. Just did some research and it turns out they were, just in smaller numbers.

Update? I also have a w116 300sd roller. But I'm not doing anything with it

Thanks! It got corner markets and US market headlamps as part of the federalization process. I have euro headlights on the way for it.
