190E Drift car…finally full steer angle!

[@drissmotaki6961]

A very good work ..i am from morocco ...i have the same car...i wish if you are here inorder to make my Mercedes so élégant as your car is...i would like to thank you very much for the work you have done..

[@LOLTires]

Thank you sir, maybe one day if I get a shop opened up you can ship the car to me!

Nice build bud... How'd you increase steering angle??

[@LOLTires]

I go over it a bit more in detail in the “drift build” video. But I took stock control arms and cut/extended the ball joint mounting point, then did the same with the tie rod ends. I had to also do some trimming in the fender well to be able to run 17s up front (to clear the brakes). I also run pretty aggressive camber up front. Haven’t measured the full lock to lock but it’s relatively significant and the car tends to turn on its own once you move it off center.

nice work man, what engine are you dropping in? I saw an IL license plate I’m the background, I’m from WI. I swapped a 1jz into my 190e, check out xcessive manufacturing. They have a clutch pedal kit

Thank you! I bet a 1J was a lot of fun, I’m going with the ol’ trusty LS3...it’s a platform I know really well and they’re fairly easy to swap. I’m originally from IL, Chicagoland specifically but for the last 3 years I’ve been in NC. Still have family out that way so once the car is ready I’ll probably take it up to GLD when they do a 3 day event. Thank you for the suggestion about xcessive I’ll check them out!
