1986 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16 w/EVO II Kit

[gramsay]

Some pics of my Benz, purchased in August of 2005.

This is my second (2nd) MBZ 190 16V.

My first one lasted from 1989 to 2005, hence 16 years. The engine overheated and blew. I was bummed!!

Those were some great years with that car.
I got 162,000 miles out of it and earned a High Mileage Award from Mercedes.

Hopefully I can get 10 years out of this one .................................................. ..................................

[The Weiner]

where did you find one so mint

but the e30 still owned the evo if we remeber

[gramsay]

Thanks for the positive feedback.

This EVO II-R is a special car. I found it when I was pretty down after the engine on my first 16V blew.

The EVO II-R was purchased from a car collector in California.

Here is some info on the genuine EVO II:

Some DTM action when EVO II and M3 EVO reigned supreme:

Wow pretty old video footage, cool to see :)

[gramsay]

I've been inactive from this site for a while, until a fellow member reminded me from M5board.com.

So I'm glad to be back.

Update on the EVO II-R is there needs to be some body work done on the car.

Rear bumper to be exact after someone tapped me on I-95, one morning.

The damage is not terrible, but yet there is some damage.

Ive been trying to source an EVO II bumper but run into deadends as the main kit maker Erebuni has discontinued along with Bekker and others. I have found a guy in Germany for the bumper but it will cost $500 Euro without shipping.

So Im settling for the second best thing which is repairing the bumper.

We'll see how it goes.

Hey glad to see you posted....

I had no idea how sweet your Merc was, I've had a friend who has had an old Merc and I always wondered what it would look like all done up.. Fine collection, hope to get to see them in person at some meets!

[944attack]

DAMN! i dont know how i missed this thread either!! totally awesome car, my girlfriend has a base model black 92' 190e 2.3 and ive always wondered what it would look like with that styling.

haha i spotted this car once and thought it was cool enough for a picture because of the minor mods, but yours is just AWESOME!

That sucks about the car. Your car looks good with the wing, but the M3 is :puke:

some of them came in a two-tone paint job, it looks kinda funky from the back but its much better from the side..

Now I'm not lying when I say that car looks gangster...

[AzzMan]

That car is obscenely badass. How much do those genuine ones run now anyway?
