From somebody that thinks a retro has to be pre 1990, I have to say that the car looks pretty damn good! Your skills and knowledge are impressive, you clearly know your way around the marque and know what works and what doesn't. Aside from building a fast car you are also building a greater degree of reliability into it. Excellent work! Well thank you very much for the kind words. Its passion, and what comes hand in hand with passion is knowledge, I love cars and I love this old girl, I think as you get older and mature (slightly anyway) you stop chasing big numbers and try to combine drivability with fun and longevity of the life of the car, I will once the Holset is fitted be toying with different figures (bhp and torque) and where and when they come in to play, mating a more responsive turbocharger to a shorter ratio gearbox should make it alot more usable in the real world. I love the midrange punch above all, 0-60 times mean nothing to me as in the real world no 1 actually does it, I love leaving it 4th or 5th and planting it.

Been abit slow with the updates, 630cc injectors fitted, Walbro fuel pump fitted, 3 bar map sensor fitted and a custom made 3 inch system mated to the 3 inch downpipe, made a small difference higher up the rev range removing the 2.5 inch Abbott system, this was done for future proofing as will be needed when the Holset is fitted as she will be approaching the 380bhp mark and would be nice to keep EGT's down as low as possible.
There has also been a fresh map as this is required after fitting the 630cc injectors and T7 valve, power is now 318bhp and 460nm which isn't too shabby as shes still on the stock TD04, also had the boost moved to come in more progressive up to 3750rpm and from 3rd gear onwards you get full boost rather than Abbott's silly full demand from about 2400rpm no matter the gear which are known for not being too kind to gearbox's and spoils driveability, and to add to entertainment the fuel injector shut off has now been removed.

Handsome W124 Mercedes Benz, nice colour and lovely wheels, nice and original looking. I may have to purchase 1 of these when the Golf goes.

Yes he's very talented, I would buy his front and rear Aero bits in a heart beat, the 9000 Aero scene isn't a big 1 however and I am not nor never have been a member on Facebook so try to keep an eye out in the other usual places.
I was bored of waiting for mine to fail so just bit the bullet, plus I should get half decent money for a good second hand TD04 that hasn't had much grief.

Thanks very much!! I am looking forward yet again feeling the next level of change the old girl, I'm not using her so much as been using the Golf, which may have to go to help fund more modifications as the next step will be an equal length Tubular manifold to bolt the turbo to which is circa £600! But that will be it for engine mods for a while as I will invest in more towards Aero i.e a custom rear diffuser like Rejsa's 9000 Super touring.

Will always love and appreciate these W140 Merc's, just proper engineering and what a car for little money! Probably the best engine IMO unless you are brave enough for a 600.
Love it GLWS

Would love to go to this! Need to get to decent car event as seems like bloody years since I've been to 1. Love the Alfa too, those blister arches on that car are heaven and proper car porn. Also know the feeling of being hassled by someone in a newer "better" car, can not beat leaving them in your dust while they scratch there head and learn the hard way haha!! Did you manage to get a ticket ? I heard on Sunday the whole 2000 tickets were sold out but have now been told the scramble will be on both SAT and SUN Not yet no, will have to try for Saturday, may be working though!!

In reference to the plate, you don't need to tax or insure it, I took the plate of the Mondeo with no tax or insurance no problem, all it needed was an MOT, It took a little over a week for the retention to turn up thats all. How long had it been SORN'd for? I didn't need MOT Tax or Insurance to remove it whilst SORN'd for up to 5 years - I've missed that window and the process becomes a bit more complicated. My understanding is the car now needs to be taxed to remove the plate To be taxed it needs MOT and Insurance no getting round that. Now I can SORN it again next day after the tax is paid for and the clock count in terms of 5 years starts again but in reality I'll only SORN it after the new owner has either sorted tax themselves or driven it home It had been SORN for a few months, didn't realize yours had been that long so understand the difference between the 2 now, it used to be it just needed an MOT as have been through this before with a customer and was just asking for an MOT there too but again may have been a similar time period to mine
