mmmm those 114s and 115s are nice! If i ever have spare cash in the future id love to get a coupe version

ok. so the place that got my first clutch kit couldnt get the specific one when i provided part numbers.

i asked a melb benz parts place (German Star, Reservior) and they said no problemo, $500 + GST, took my VIN and parts numbers.

..turns out the couldnt, and didnt tell me until i rang up after the 6 weeks estimated shipping time had passed. long story short they copped an earfull.

THEN, reordered with MB Spares, in canberra, which i shoulda done in the first place. theyve always been the most reliable for OEM benz parts, but kinda pricey.

so i ended up paying >$800, but the clutch landed in australia last week! should be waiting for me at my parents when im done with uni for the year.

fingers crossed this works, although given my past luck my hopes arent high

Yes, get wheels like that man, they look awesome!!
and this may sound like a silly question, but did you put the clutch plate in the right way around?
because a mate of mine put my one in backwards a while ago and wouldnt go into gear or anything!! untill me and the old man swapped it!!

haha yeah made very sure i did! one side side was marked 'this side to flywheel' or something like that

okay haha thats alright then, you going to phillip island classic next march in it?

haha sounds like fun! but im being really conscience of getting ahead of myself regarding mods and stuff like that..dont wanna be let down when if i dont get it running

righto...car is all back together...well, mechanically at any rate. interior is still gutted had a minor electrical drama, turns out id forgotten how to wire up the starter motor, one of the terminals had to have two wires on it, and i put two wires in the wrong terminal. just turned her over five minutes ago, gonna put some more juice in the battery before i properly try and start her

Moar photos!

nice one!

photos sooon. heres a vid for now. car is back together, and in complete working order might be able to organise a club rego for it tomorrow. be a decent bday prezzie to myself hehehe
