I wonder what happened to ‘S Class’? Not posted here for nearly 10 years 😌🤔😳

We have nearly all the answers here lol! https://www.topklasse.org/forums/threads/6-9-exhaust.1288/

As many would say (including myself) having a spare car when building a project car is invaluable for many reasons apart from the obvious storage issue! Well done & never give up!

What’s also amazing about the Mampe race car is it ran an auto trans!! Yet it still was competitive with the other Euro Touring Cars!

Although in saying the 6.3s intake was similar to the race version isn’t totally correct since the race car had twin throttles. I doubt the exhaust alone could increase power by 100hp. So it’s possible the std engine’s throttle is also too small (like the 6.9). Other mods likely to contribute to...

Taken from Bills thread about the Mampe 450SLC twin throttle: So doing some very basic math using % hp vs capacity the following theoretical increases could apply if you made the same vintage mods to different engines: 370hp from 450cc 459hp 560 566hp 690! If you do the same based on the...

It looks like that but I think it’s the coolant outlet from the heads clearly modified

Sadly I think Bill missed out on seeing what the real Mampe car packed under the hood, so I’m happy to find out on his behalf! 😣 Oh here’s the Mampe specs compared to the CW311 M100.

You’d have a buyer here for sure! I wish I had the knowledge to build such a unit!! In my gold car I may ditch the ashtray & instal a double DIN CarPlay unit assuming there’s enough depth available for the chassis. Thinking out loud I could fabricate a basic cover similar to the radio delete...

I went to the W116 model appreciation day today, with a mate & his 6.9. During part of the event the club was giving away duplicate copies from their magazine collection. To my complete surprise, I finally found a 10/2008 copy of Mercedes Enthusiast!! Not terribly revealing with info, but at...

The w116 is a hard one to find a suitable head unit that doesn’t appear out of place. The original ones were plain ugly & the early pinstripes seem a little too ‘early’. So perhaps a newer version might fit in perfectly, particularly since Bluetooth is so convenient when driving in the modern...
