QUOTE(jong52yuara @ Dec 12 2007, 03:20 PM) try get a very lousy/rusty one then restore everything, that way you can guarantee its reliability..? reliability of car was measure on ratio of part / cars. Problem and over the years.  that the ratio of reliability. if you compare another 20 years old car put in similiar parts, you will find ratio of the reliability, same theory to measure up. |

QUOTE(phas3r @ Dec 14 2007, 02:44 PM) hmm w123 engines are underpowered... the fastest one is 280e which i dont even think is available in malaysia.. try swap engine from 260e w123 or something... just a recommendation n dun have any experience..some ppl put japanese engines on w123.. i dun really like it no choice since Japanese engine were easy to get and more economy.even more the performance and FC are better. |
