We Build A BETTER Mercedes 190e Using BMW, Volvo, & Modern AMG Parts | Golden Era Ep.3

Video Description

►A turbocharged engine is all well and good, but no race car is ever complete without a bespoke set of suspension. Decades-old dampers with squishy springs and blown-out bushings mean nothing but sloppy handling, so the Golden Era Project needs a handful of new and custom parts to bring its road control into this decade. Luckily, FCP Euro’s W204 C300 race car has plenty of parts to donate to the cause as the team mocks up the new setup with a “greatest hits” of modern AMG components. Once the suspension design is ironed out, Nate and Danny turn their attention to the rest of the drivetrain. The 716.6 manual transmission fits in the W201 chassis, but a custom driveshaft is needed to bolt it up to the W203 rear end featuring a brand new limited-slip differential. As if that weren’t already enough, the entire car also needs its custom wiring harness designed from the ground up. With so much still to do and a looming date with the body shop, follow along to see if it all works out here on the Golden Era Project.
