Ahhh... new year, new experiences, first Euro car.

[JDMDreams]

^^^ out of all euro cars why that one :pokerface: looks preface lift and none AMG at all ..... Unless it's Mt :ahwow:

[Badhobz]

^i like the look of that generation c/e class (i cant even tell from the side). Its a interesting fusion of the boxy and reliable w124 and modern mercedes. too bad this one was notoriously unreliable.

[bcrdukes]

@Qmx323 - Details on the car, please! Looks amazing!

[Qmx323]

Facelift - Engine is basically rebuilt - new brakes - also it was a touch under $5K.

C230K auto - got tired of clutching in and out, also... I drove an Accord, things fast in a straight line but it handles like a boat. Modern enough but old enough to DIY.

Between this and a Corolla/Civic for even MORE? Hell no. Tail happy baby sedan yes please.

Slight oil seep at cam angle sensors but thats a 20 minute job. I was torn between this and E46, but also remembered riding in one down to Seattle... so.. much.. squeaking and bumping...

And as for the "Why u no AMG?" - This was a financial move. LOL trust me if I can run and afford an AMG, I'd have an AMG.

Sold my Accord lease for way more money than I could have anticipated. No more monthly payments since I don't even drive much, plus insurance is actually 10% less than the Accord.

If the experience with this one goes smoothly, I'd be on the lookout honestly for a C32 over the C55, something about superchargers I really enjoy. One can dream on. When its time for a high performance euro car, I'll know.

[bcrdukes]

Thanks for sharing! I'm with Badhobz on this one. I have a soft spot for this generation of Mercedes Benz. My cousin has one and I still really like the overall design, interior, reliability in comparison to your examples of a Corolla/Civic, or hell, even an E46.

Ditto on the AMG. Do you really want or need an AMG given the rarity of them and also the additional and unnecessary premiums to insure and maintain a car of this caliber? I think the honest answer is no unless you ABSOLUTELY need to have an AMG model which from what I understand can be VERY expensive to maintain. This is an awesome buy!

Edit: I should mention that manual transmissions on Mercedes Benz sucks ass (at least in North America. I can't speak for RoW cars.) I test drove a rare C-class before getting my 996 and it was easily the worst manual transmission I've ever driven.

Edit 2: You gotta come out to a Stock & Noob meet with it sometime this year!

The first sweeping turn I took (big left turn to get from Van to Richmond / the miller/Russ baker intersection) - I fell in love. Feeling the rear end kinda just slightly break loose... goosebumps.

At the end of the day, I was looking for a balance of reliable/fun to drive/easy to maintain.

If I took an AMG through that corner. I might've fallen into the ditch, woulda been a great time though.

[bcrdukes]

You've inspired me, Qmx323.

I'm going to have to find my "Vancouver car" given your example. I've been looking for an M car or another Porsche but I don't have the time to fly back and forth between Vancouver/Toronto to do PPis and shit like that. If I can find even a half decent example of what you have, I'd be happy.

[Qmx323]

Thanks dude, not gonna lie, some of y'all have definitely had incredible experiences with high performance Euro cars, I eagerly look forward to joining that echelon. Until then I will settle for blasting exhaust clips/Nürburgring videos on some nice headphones, LOL.

[bcrdukes]

My dick is small so I need to make up for it with a high performance Euro, although I think most Corollas are higher performance than what I have and currently own. And if high performance Euro means getting to the next red light or inching forward 2 meters in bumper to bumper traffic faster than the next guy, well, we would all need our heads checked. Enjoy the car in good health sir! :)

Had a rental fiat 500 in France, you couldn’t pay me to have that as a DD. I honestly wouldn’t buy a brand new one for $5000 if it was offered to me. That’s gotta be the most uncomfortable POS I’ve ever driven. Fourtwos make the 500 look like a G wagon

[Badhobz]

But it’s so cute!!! I was going to buy one last summer (a yellow one) because it’s a happy looking toy. Then I started reading the forums and found most don’t last past 100,000km without bowing up something Catastrophic

What was so bad about it ? I’ve never driven one but it seems fun to putt around town with it.

[bcrdukes]

I would imagine you throwing a Fiat 500 down a cliff. It is pretty uncomfortable and a bit of a clusterfuck of a car overall. Your wife would have Crossclimate 2 Extreme eyebrows.

It has these fake racing/bucket seats that instantly gave me like SI joint/lower back pain. Had to adjust how I was sitting every 10 minutes or so otherwise my back would seize up (compared to the Fiat Panda I had for 20+ days which was perfectly fine)

Brand new vehicle nothing but plastic shrouds, no apple car play, no nav, manual door locks, the back seats of a car with 2500kms had what looked like ass indents already worn in lol

Not to mention the power train, the shifting, etc etc.

We had a Hyundai Elantra with 130,000kms that felt infinitely more secure and strong than a 500 with less than 3000

Almost picked one up during covid, they're decently fun, but couldn't get as much pops and crackles with sport mode as the reviews online.

Drove the non abarth in the Orlando and almost died on a 120km/hr merge, car couldn't get up to traffic speed in time.

down time for over a month and its back running again.

Airmatic compressor failed. Zero rear brakes left. had to tackle those.

Remounted the winters onto factory wheels.

The day after picking up the car, put some lowering links on it for the Airmatic :lawl: nice and low now.

went out in the rain. temp over 5deg means the AD08's are actually driveable.

normally i'm uninsured in the winter but this year it's being kept at home and needs plates. May as well use it.

Power recline and sliding base. rear power shades plus seats are heated/ ventilated.

one nice land yacht spec corolla.

[Badhobz]

PICS OF THE BACK SEAT (RECLINED)!!! that thing is the closest we have to the toyota century and ive always wanted one. SO EPIC. now you just need a driver so you can enjoy the back seat.

p.s. your father has great taste. not a lot of people would spec for the LWB and the reclining rear seats as that option was like 30k on top of the base LS.

we bought it used :alone:

The funny story behind that was we were looking for a used GS350 AWD. Couldn't find one we liked (mainly the color combo, i swear everything had a beige interior)

Then we came across this Gun Grey LWB. The LS was more car for the money, so we picked it up. The LWB was very old people friendly (grandparents)

Dad retired almost a year now, so he decided to splurge on a new ES350 as a gift to himself.

has been a great family car and super quiet inside. Will use it for daily duties until I get annoyed by its sheer length.



Will post full lay down position pic once I have time. Its quite............. useful. :troll:

[Badhobz]

That ES350 won savagegeese luxury car for 2022. I totally agree it’s something you can take to the grave. The seats are sooo sooo comfortable and that v6 is quiet and reliable. Best luxo barge ever.

Its basically what sold my dad the new 2023 ES350: updated infotainment that ditched the mouse cursor pad thing...... and its simple - just a naturally aspirated V6. Dad didnt want hybrid tech or even turbocharging... just wanted a simple quiet sedan with some power.

Bought the base V6 as its all he needs. So I guess that worked out.

the car is quite roomy inside for what it is, just a bit lacking on headroom imo. Seats are indeed comfy! More so than the LS front seats actually.

[jing]

Dibs when the LS comes up for sale

[68style]

I think the problems around that year of LS are the infotainment system going kaput (the had drive dies and then the whole thing is fubarred) and the... control arms I want to say? I forget.

Sublime cars though.

[tofu1413]

touchwood, infotainment works currently.


We did do the front lower control arms though. total PITA as the ball joint is integrated with the front knuckle...... which in turn the ball joint was seized onto the front LCA.

So... ended up doing front knuckle and with the front LCA. Been pretty cherry after that though.

@jing - my friend just called me out of nowhere and asked me when im selling it... :lawl: wtf.

This camry is now 13 years old. she has 100,000 on the clock and REFUSES to DIE. Actually it refuses to even break. 13 years and not a penny of "extra" spent since we got her in early 2010. About 2 years ago i switched from filling her up from 91 to 87 because everyone on the forums said it makes no difference. They're right. 87 is fine for this 2GRFE.

Tofu's dad's new ES350 will also likely be the same. It'll just keeps working like a swiss clock.

LOL i mean i did note an aftermarket exhaust. Unfortunately the original exhaust needs a full stripdown and turn it into a full welding project. I've just finished the center pipe. No replacements of any kind available. Lots of repair instead of replace on these days these days.

Technically this HKS silent power for the ST185 would still count as "era correct" and within 2 years of this ST165? :badpokerface: Also thanks! This one wasn't immune to rust either, just had the left quarter replaced including the inner quarter. Thankfully someone makes panels for them.

[68style]

I did the same thing, I have a 94 MR2 on collectors and I've got a GReddy PE on it... I listed it as stainless replacement.

They were also okay with the full TRD suspension as era specific too!

in the coming years i'll reach dinosaur eligibility as well

gotta be smart now about choosing the right exhaust i suppose

is there a secret handbook where I can read more about what 'OEM+' might fly?

[entrax]

Things that generally fly: facelift parts within same generation, oem installed accessory from when it was new, reproduced original parts

Things you can generally claim on the application sheet without them asking about: next generation wheels typically within 2 years (mine are 1993 wheels on a 1988, that was totally fine), 1 diameter increase in wheel size

Things you can generally claim on the application sheet that they might ask about but still pass if you have a good explanation: suspension mods that are or replicate higher trim oem specs. so something like trd springs for a toyota, but you could also do eibach springs which also do only a 1" drop. newer oem radio (ie. say a 2000s corolla double din in a 1991 mr2), aftermarket wheels that are "era-correct" (ie. og TE37 for your 90s car would work, but TE37SL would likely not)

Things they don't like: tint, dirty or worn carpets/seats, aftermarket radios, decals other than car clubs, saggy headliners,

[68style]

The current reviewers honestly do not know imports well at all and maybe aren't as detailed as past ones have been.

If you write era specific and put it in there, most likely you will pass.

If not, it's free to apply minus the cost of postage (some insurance places will post your app for free like the one under Superstore in Richmond!!!) so just re-submit revisions after they reject it and try again.

[twitchyzero]

then i hope they're still in that department in 4-5 years haha

Can you not just slap on a set of the F chassis M performance brakes then? The F3x M performance brakes are basically the same as the F8x base steel brakes.

HKS Kansai lip taking a beating this winter... FeelsBadMan But good god, this car is so much fun in the snow.

[Badhobz]

they getting more rare now. hardly see any R35's around. all the chinamenz have graduated to porsches or something as i see 911's everywhere.

[tofu1413]

They are usually the following:

Crashed / destroyed
Broken transmission parts car
Beat to crap car with a stupid wing or carbon parts or butchered wide body
Someone’s 1000WHP garage queen that barely sees the road 1 month a year
Someone’s strictly weekend car (usually bone stock, one owner or an uncle of somesort)

The latter is rare. Most of the first wave of buyers already have newer / more modern machines

[Bender Unit]

Someone’s strictly weekend car (usually bone stock, one owner or an uncle of somesort)
:okay:

Revscene Uncle
CBA MY2010
2nd Owner since 2015
Stock with ZELE Kit
No money to Level up
got a Corolla instead
in Storage mode

[tofu1413]

They’re fantastic cars in stock form. Built like a tank too.

Mine was a 1 owner commuter car. Only nissan dealer serviced.. hence I picked it up. Put 13k kms or so since August and now sitting at 137k Km!

Stock besides the HKS lip, a stainless mid pipe and the stock titanium axle back section from a 2017+ GTR.

[twitchyzero]

like RS banner, they'll never stop being relevant

[Badhobz]

I used to think they look ugly as hell compared to the R34 but now they look quite clean and they’ve grown on me.

They are also quite small both visually and width wise compared to modern day porkers (like my ratrolla, or the new 911s)

[tofu1413]

I didn't like the way they looked when they first came out either. It never looked pretty to me.


Took quite a bit of time and eventually got into the first one because of driving one for a weekend - it wasnt as "digital" or numb as people said. Sold it, had sellers remorse and got back into another. Its just one of those cars.

[Badhobz]

I drove one from applewood Nissan a few years back and it blew me away. Everyone kept saying its boring, video game, etc etc etc. But I found it almost perfect. A really good blend between sportiness and daily-able comfort.

Only problem was the exhaust note. It didn’t sound like anything and it was very quiet… I would say the VQ engine on the 370z had more character than the one in the R35 GTR. Pretty sure that’s why everyone does exhausts as their first mod on these.

I don't think I've heard one that sounds good though, they are either quiet or loud for the sake of loud and not good.

Its the mid pipe itself thats restrictive. the rest of the exhaust flows well into the 800HP+ range.

change the midpipe to a lightly resonated free flow one and you're cherry. It'll make a bit more noise and will save a lot of weight too!

Have fun in the sun, the rain, the snow, and whatever weather you can throw at her. I’m sure you’ve got so many experiences to unleash her personally in various environments. This is how you get to know you car intimately. None of this is done while it’s in a garage. Ask me how I know. LOL. Let your next few months bring you joy, especially when you know that time.

[Badhobz]

You should buy her out at the end of the lease. That’s the last good looking m3.

Is there a reason you don't grab collector plates for your E30?

[westopher]

Can't drive it to work then. That's not worth the discount for me. Love being able to walk out of work on my Friday and hop in this.

[68style]

Oh I see yes... didn't think you drove it to work haha

Although you can still get collector plates for it!! You just don't get the discount.

Awesome, I was hearing about that but wasn't sure. Now that the e36 is 25 next month I'd do it for both cars if I can void the stipulations that go with it.
I don't drive the e30 to work all the time by any stretch, but I don't actually drive tons at all and with lots of solo parenting days while my wife works weekends, if I know I'm not going to be driving the fun cars with my daughter (she rides in both the cars, but her car seat means it has to be planned since it stays in the golf) I'll make sure to take them to work just so nothing sits and I can maybe take the long way home. It feels good even if the traffic is shit, because people get pretty excited about seeing the e30.

[punkwax]

^I’m that guy. If I see a ride out in the wild that strikes a chord with me, I always do my best to get nearer for a closer look. Hell, many times I’ve purposely slowed down to catch a red light just so I can stop next to certain vehicles and admire them. On the flip side, I’ve also hit the gas and done some weaving to achieve the same goal.

If you’re ever around a silver F150 or a white accord that is near a clean car/truck built before Y2K and are wondering why the fuck they’re ignoring regular road etiquette, it might be me. Please accept my apologies in advance 4Head

i'm not sure that's 100% true

AFAIK you still have to qualify for the plates, you can't have any other vehicles normally registered in your name, and you can still only get pleasure use only.

i wouldn't pursue collector plates just to have them. Park plates look better anyways.

[trollface]

You have to qualify for collectors plates and have a reg car insured normally when I tried.

This applied to Collectors and Modified Colelctors when I applied 4-5 years ago.

They don't want you taking discounts and driving it like a reg car.

[hud 91gt]

Even with pleasure use, you can still drive 6 times a month. Cool to know about the collectors, I’ll be looking into that too. Would love to drive mine to work, as the way it is now I can’t.

[The Producer]

If the only vehicle you have is your collector vehicle, it may still qualify for collector plates. However, it won't qualify for reduced collector vehicle insurance premium.

This implies that this will only work if it's your only car.

Doing some lapping with it this year. Got some sponsor funds from work to do the livery so will rock it for the year.

I had the top dropped after breakfast in hope. Wasn’t cold at all, but that’s probably due to how amazing the aero is on the LC. You can drive it year round with the top down and there’s little to no wind inside the cabin even at highway speeds.

Was that your experience with the NC? I'm surprised because for the most part, I found the NC has some very good aero to deflect most of the air away from the cabin. You need put the windows up, and you need to wear a hat. But once I do both of those things, I can crank up the heat and drive top down in some pretty chilly weather while being perfectly comfy.

(With the top and the windows down, I wouldn't drive faster than 50km/h unless I was in a motorsports situation LOL~)

I didn't mind the buffeting in my NC (PRHT) though it was really hard to talk at 100kph with the top down and windows up. I found the NB worse for buffeting and the ND slightly better but those are pretty small differences. The 718 I had last year was better than all of them but still too loud to talk.

Re: weather for top down. I've always dropped the top if it was warmer than zero and there was sun. I paid for that droptop and I'm gonna use it. Crank the heater and put on a jacket and let's go!

When it was hot, I would have all windows down and it can get loud. Around town it's mostly ok top down windows up. But wife really didn't like it when we took it to Coquitlam for dinner and was doing about 100-110 on the highway. It was loud and her hair was all over the place.

I found the NB worse for buffeting and the ND slightly better but those are pretty small differences. The 718 I had last year was better than all of them but still too loud to talk.

Re: weather for top down. I've always dropped the top if it was warmer than zero and there was sun. I paid for that droptop and I'm gonna use it. Crank the heater and put on a jacket and let's go!

I agree with the top down all the time. I've had some extended time in a ND soft top as well. It's not hugely better than a NC. Can't really beat physics/fluid dynamics.
