Titanium shafts from the 935 and I'm sure the rubber donuts were not sourced from the online Mercedes Shop...

I am trying to figure out the charge pipe routing. Assuming it is air to water and the heat exchanger is in the cabin. Not sure.

I wasn't implying they used URO parts)) lol


the one local 930 here has 935 heads but is down with pulled studs....she is a wicked beast. I had about a 1000 miles of seat time in it ten years ago. It works your neck muscles.

The vacuum T on my car has the land, sea and air symbol at the fuel regulator.

Did you take those pictures? Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Looks great without fenders!

Are those 'rubber donuts' just solid blocks of rubber isolators on the axles?

Looks awesome, I'd love to be able to tear down and restore my car like that one day.

Its air to air, if you look at this picture you can see the massive intercooler(about 10inch thick) connected directly to the intake manifold.
Would love to at least get a ride in one of these cars if not drive one...but that will surely never happen.
