I have done the same thing many times ;) with the pants anyway.

suits sit in the cupboard for years, then when its time to wear it again mysteriously the pants are skin tight and about to explode - bending of the knees is to be avoided as well as sitting down  ::)

my usual attire is the absolute opposite of a suite, more like vagrants attire  ::)

Wow that is very nice. Looks mean, yet clean. I love those wheels!

did he borrow it off you? :D
cool car, lots of effort. amazing how much extra these engines can tolerate!
at the end of your video of the car, it has a link for a 116 with a m119 420 engine in it, now that is also some crazy effort!

Fantastic car jsalova.  A while back I was searching turbo and SC M110s and saw yours on youtube.  I wondered if the M90 was too much, thinking an M45 would've been kinder to the engine, though perhpas on the small side.   So it's great to hear that yours has stood the test of time.  I can't imagine it would be easy to drive sedately, the temptation to plant the accelerator every time you go out, even if just popping up the road to get some milk, must be overwhelming 8)

Koan mentioned your transmission and I'm curious to know if you've had issues there.  I remember reading some fella's misfortune of going through a couple of auto gearboxes in a non blown W123 by just adjusting both camshafts by 4degrees advance, creating a huge change to low end torque.  With an M90 and ground cams plus the rest of it, it makes wonder if there's potential for failure there.  but then again, three years on and still going strong..... great stuff.

Saw that M119 transplant too Nathan.  8) Uber cool.

Love the picture! Your sister looks perfect beside the car!

Maybe you should stay behind the camera  ;D

Okay, a bit of upgrade here.

My friend is going to fabricate custom exhaust manifolds to my car and SC has to be removed out of the way.

So, i'll upload drawings and other specs about SC mounting blocks and belt tensioner system etc. if somebody else is interested about this kind of modification to M110.

Please do upload - we are very interested. 

Thanks.
