Hah, I was thinking to myself “Good luck stopping my car with that!” and hey look, it’s LITERALLY my car! :D

Sweet - I’d planned on doing the racetrack on the last trip before the suspension blew out. I’m in Santa Barbara, actually.

Haha yup! I have read through everything I could find on that car about five times.

Oh cool, I’d love to see some pics of the Peugeot. I work in a machine shop so making those steelies fit was a good deal cheaper than finding 15" Mercedes wheels in the right size (VW/Audi uses a different center bore size, otherwise it would have been no problem). I got the wheels and spacers on the car for under

I thought about it, but getting the juice up there is tougher, and when I had roof rack lights on a previous car, they lit up the hood really bad and it was kinda distracting. An LED bar right under the skateboard, though, could be quite nice.

Thanks!

Sweeeet! Yeah Titus Canyon was super cool. We did chloride cliff in the same trip, can’t recommend that highly enough. Amazing views.

Oooo I had not seen that before! Awesome!

Yup, problem is I’ve looked and there’s not much LSD wise for that particular diff housing. It could definitely use deeper gears (the 0-60 on the knobbies is seriously like 20-25 seconds) but I think the best way to go about it is a ford 8.8IRS center section and some custom half shafts, that way you can get whatever

DO IT

It’s my car, woohoo! LED or projector beam replacements were one of the first mods on the list when I started looking for a w123, but this one has actually got the massive single unit glass euro lights in place of the US model sealed beams.
