Here you go OP, 4.8L V8. Just got it pretty recently. Still a lot of work to do on it. Repain, exhaust, etc. Gonna do a bunch to it. Kind of a grandpa car atm.

Cut the resonator off but didn't really change the sound. Have a small leak so eventually will do Doug Thorley headers and cat delete. Just a 12h long shitty job.

Thanks anons, he and I both thought it waa a fair trade. The Mini was mechanically sorted but needed a lot of cosmetic TLC (paint was shot and the seats were ripped). SC430 was cosmetically decent but it needs new shocks and suspension bits, not to mention it's due for a timing belt service.

OP here, thoughts on the W210 E420? There's a '97 for sale that caught my eye, I've always wanted to own a vee-ate E-Class and I think I'm going to spring for that one if I eventually get bored of the LS430.

>inb4 it has biodegradable wiring harness
--- 26527362
>>26527351
The pre facelift w210 are also damn great reliable cars if you’re cool with the styling. They also have the rust issue iirc so just check all over the chassis for car cancer, otherwise just a normal car inspection for your typical 20 year old car will do like worn rubber and belts etc. They last forever with punctual oil changes as all good old benzes do

oh nice! what are you planning on doing to it?

as for myself, i do have plans but im not going to go too crazy since i cant really use this power on the streets (yet, 2nd gear max rpm is like ~80mph).

i think i want to stay na for now but before i do any power mods i have to get a set of stickier and wider tires. currently waiting for a set of 1le wheels to pop up somewhere cheap
--- 26528904
>>26528526
Just going to finish the nitrious setup for now, the plate, fuel and nitrious lines are in. Need to wire the regulator and find a place to put the solenoids on the new motor. After that I going to squirrel away enough $ for a pro charger.

Have the same problem, hard to get traction on the street with the power I have now even with my new tires. Being a pickup no weight over the rear wheels. Got slicks but saving them for the drag strip.

Smart move anon good tires are a must. Very nice ride love the color. Good luck with your endeavors fren.

Depends on what you're looking for in terms of lack of parts. Engine shit might be pretty tricky to come by considering the only vehicle in the US to get a VH41 was the Q45, a lot of the suspension is shared with S14 and Z32 parts.

Drove an LS430 for almost 5 years as a daily. I sold it for a little more than I paid, but the maintenance over that time was more than the car was worth. When the time belt was due I just got rid of it.

--- 26532588

Those were my parents too lmao, my first car had to be a 2000 BMW 3-series because my dad wanted it to be "from this millenium", of course my dumbfuck was paying for it but I thought I had to satisfy their demands.

After I blew up the E46, my parents were suddenly ok with my 1997 LS400 being the replacement lol.

Since then, they don't give a fuck about model years as long as the car itself is maintained.

Thanks for your recommandation, I've seen systems like this indeed. But I dont like the fact tat it is plugged into the cig lighter to work, nor that you need a remote to open/close the valve.
