318 find some 20 years old tires and weld the diff. And itll drift like a beast, for future buy some cheap rockhard coils from ebay for 400euros. Thatll help with entering and car control
I dont wanna be rude, but how do you clutch kick automatic transmission ? I know there is kick-down when you floor it but it aint really a clutch kick.
i personally own the same vehicle, a manual C180, 1995, and i gotta say - next time you are looking for a cheap and old vehicle what to drift with, this is absolutely amazing tho. just needs an upgrade on the suspension system and DEFINITELY has to be a manual, automatics are VERY hard to drift with, because you wont be having full control over your vehicle. still a fun video, love it!
No I bought it and use it to drift and since i have got the car the only thing i needed to Change was the alternator...Guess this was the one Out of thousands
that's why i love from car throttle, cheap cars! top gear did the opposite and i hated it, now it's gone and you guys came with those £200 car videos, keep them up!!!
Is it om603 or 606 or is it petrol m103-m104? I have w124 too, but its only 2.0 i4 (om601). Turbocharged it last summer i have always loved that ''built not bought'' style, its just getting to know your car all the way.
It's an m104, got it from an old lady XD I've gotten new spark plugs, oil and filter for her, and she's ready soon! Yeah, I also love that feeling, knowing that my car is crap, but im getting to know every inch of it!
Alex, I love how you always keep your videos real, and have genuine fun doing them. So much entertaining to watch than the whole bunch of former car spotter who now only make "what's my next Lamborghini gonna be?" videos. Keep it up!
Do full weight reduction on it, cut the springs, open headers, remove the spring thing in the hand brake (can't remember what they're actually called :/), and you have a full on drift beater for super cheap!
Have you thought of a series,in witch every 2-3 months you will buy a crap car and do all sort of funny things with it or even better,buy a saxo or peugeot rallye and do rally cross with it?I think it would be fun...
I've got a 1995 C220, The w202 chassis is not "wollowy". It's a actually one of the best handling rwd small cars ever made by 90's benz. Similar to the 3 series of the time, a good set of tires and these handle like they're on rails.
Many years ago a friend rerouted the tubes from the windshield wipers to the rear tyres of a Datsun 120Y. Also he filled up with windshield wiper liquid bottle with oil instead of water. Boy that made that Datsun really drift.
Englands car prices are super fucky. Because they have the steering on thewrong side albanians dont take them, neither do many african nations. And their insurance is bonkers so younh people would have to pay more than thrice the cost in insurance.
Cars and tech to initaiate oversteer and minimize understeer he could have kick the clutch, reved out gears, used the e brake while the clutch was engaged so he wasn't fighting the car. Way easier to break traction in a manual car and control it. Wouldn't matter too much if he was driving in snow/mud/rain though
Firstly you dont need a hand e-brake for this car from personal experience because you can kick the shit out of the clutch even in the c220d which is slow af just clutch kick the thing and you are ok ;)
Well the thing is that I compared what the car would cost if it would be sold in my country, that's why I am so astonished. Here in Romania, this would be roughly 500-1000$ in this condition. And as you both said, you would have to invest a lot , arriving to the point where it isn't worth it. But if you want a car just to have fun with, it would be good ( not on public roads ).
Mine is a 96 c180. AND IT REALLY IS A TANK! I love it. Found it for 200£ because there was some stuff broken on it and the keyfob wasnt working(because of a loose button). Fixed it, and 1 and a half year later, I still haven't paid more fore repairs and services than I bought the car for and it is a total blast on the winter roads. Also easily doing roundabouts sideways without any trouble :D
My friend had one of these, we used to do skids with it on the snow. Five minutes later I was on phone with my dad asking him to tow us out of the ditch. Fun times.
My brother has one of these. He bought one for 1500€ and it's in a very good condition. Everytime it starts to snow, he goes out on an abandoned parking lot, and drifts it. :)
U should weld that's merc's diff. My friend had old w124 200D merc (about 75hp from factory) what we driftet. we put 5bars of pressure to back tires and off we go :D. If needed more faster drift get 60mph to clock and throw first or second gear in, and release clutch.
I love these used car videos so much, they're far more realistic than driving an McLaren P1 for example.
Keep 'em coming!
TheTastyDuck ^^
@Car Throttle
TheTastyDuck agree!!!
Keep them up! I Love the £200 car things your doing
Exactly
The best drift car in the world is a rental car
That would be the fastest car in the world :)
Daniel Sadjadian fastest car in the world lol no, ae86 is the best
FEARTHETACOMAN Hows 7th grade coming along
Marcell Meszaros pretty tough
isn't nissan r34 the best car in the world which makes it best drift car and fastest car in the world?
4:46 Interesting, if you break the top of the tail lights in a W202, you get a W124. lol
Hahaha exactly
Well better paint over them
Great observation
LOL
Woow
these cheap car challenges are awesome!
Yeah it reminds me what I loved the most about Top Gear
hoaxerable Yeah dude check out our video

You can drift anything as long as you have the balls to do it
i wanna see a peel p50 drift
so I can drift my friends 68bhp fwd shitbox?
it does have to be rwd
PizzaPunt just do the old tray trick
good luck drifting a tractor
So short answer is. "No, but my mate can."
Probably the cheapest way to drift...
statesidesupercars Haha that's what I thought until I vlogged while drifting a rental F-150 😂
you could also buy a cheap e36 or e30 318. They Drift pretty good
Preferable a 318IS Standard LSD
318 find some 20 years old tires and weld the diff. And itll drift like a beast, for future buy some cheap rockhard coils from ebay for 400euros. Thatll help with entering and car control
+jannplanken "rock hard coils from eBay" and "more control when entering" should not be in the same sentence together.
You can drift anything with eurobeat.
A wild deoxide as appeared!
how dose this only have 14 likes

Me: "Where do you get a Mercedes for £200?"
In Latvia.
In finland too
Clapped out W202s used to be cheap 😂
How are cars so cheap in the UK? Everything's so much more in Aus...
Hugh Jaynis nice name
Surely you have some sort of old boring car that was massively sold in Australia and now goes for as cheap as a pair of shoes?
Because most are really wrecked and bad
Neel Parmar
In Germany you can get cars for 50€
Cars are cheap but insurance is expensive so it's not so great
@CarThrottle Here are your options if you want to drift this thing
- Weld the diff
- Wet Track
- Skinnier tyres
- More power
- Clutch Kick
I dont wanna be rude, but how do you clutch kick automatic transmission ?
I know there is kick-down when you floor it but it aint really a clutch kick.
CHZZ My apologies, looks like i missed that fact.
Thank you for the gentle reminder.
ScoutSpyScout just air up the tires like hell
ScoutSpyScout yeah clutch kick an auto mind
ScoutSpyScout and suspension replaced with solid bars or some
That next 'coming soon video' looks savage.. CAN'T WAIT!!
mrlilmatt123 ok
me either xD
Weld the diff cut the exhaust off and take the springs out run some dry rotted rear tyres £200 drift car
Or over inflate them.
Old germans are fun at winter on ice.
yep...winter fun with...german's car :))
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Old german cars are one of the best ever made !
yeag,vw golf mk2 is one of my favourite cars,american version with jetta front side is great
No, he said old Germans. Nothing about cars.
3:00 Tyres, yes. Try overpressuring the back ones to - say - 40psi. That'll make them far more easy to drift.
The w202 is such a great car! So reliable and the ride is as smooth as it gets! 👌
I want a car to drift and rag about so badly now 😂
Bond Right! I made some videos destroying rental cars now I'm hooked 😂
Bond do you waste all your time watching and then commenting on videos? I see your comments everywhere ffs.
Bond dude stop, you're everywhere
£200 will see you right!
Bond Inthe UK you get fucked for drifting your car. But on a sunday after 4 you can do anything in the empty Tesco car park. 😂😂
i personally own the same vehicle, a manual C180, 1995, and i gotta say - next time you are looking for a cheap and old vehicle what to drift with, this is absolutely amazing tho. just needs an upgrade on the suspension system and DEFINITELY has to be a manual, automatics are VERY hard to drift with, because you wont be having full control over your vehicle. still a fun video, love it!
Second! Any car can be a drift car if you try hard enough!
# ItsWhiteNoise FWD hmmmm nope
Drifts better than porker in his s class
ha ha....but that huracan is not bad ;)
rekt
Toby Tong that noodle face nissan dude with his supercharged prius won't do shit either
Wout Vandermeulen ha ha ha...i don't know how on earth can u spread so much love for that "nissan face dude" epic ;)
love your videos! air down front tires to 25, rear tires to about 80 and Welding up the rear diff always helps :-)
needs a welded diff and a stripped interior!!
Coilovers as well
and cutted springs :D
1:42 Thats how i need to move the wheel to keep my 1972 beetle straight...
Orion from Haggard Garage would probably drift it no problem...
+Car Throttle old banger being driven by a hoolagan, the norm if you live on a council estate

Luca Car Mods Bob the builder?...
Berniksus Yeah duuuh who else?
One of the most Iconic Mercedes Chassis models EVER. My dad owns a C280 elegance in Manual transmission🤘
It won't drift because it's a grip togue monster
Now we know why Natsuki was with the old guy that drove a Benz.
Kyle Pasta unlock the ABS and the ESP and then go drifting

i've gotten myself a 3.0 i6 W124, for 1500 quid, but now I really want a 200 quid car xD
It's a 5 speed manual trans, but thanks for the tip!
Is it om603 or 606 or is it petrol m103-m104?
I have w124 too, but its only 2.0 i4 (om601). Turbocharged it last summer i have always loved that ''built not bought'' style, its just getting to know your car all the way.
It's an m104, got it from an old lady XD
I've gotten new spark plugs, oil and filter for her, and she's ready soon!
Yeah, I also love that feeling, knowing that my car is crap, but im getting to know every inch of it!
Getting new injectors and air filter soon ;)
Nice keep it running :)
Who else thinks CarThrottle are the best you tubers ?
You guys looked like you had alot of fun making that video. Definitely put a smile on my face 👌🏼
Cheers, was awesome fun!
Alex, I love how you always keep your videos real, and have genuine fun doing them. So much entertaining to watch than the whole bunch of former car spotter who now only make "what's my next Lamborghini gonna be?" videos. Keep it up!
haha, cheers! Beater cars are my supercars ;)
Do full weight reduction on it, cut the springs, open headers, remove the spring thing in the hand brake (can't remember what they're actually called :/), and you have a full on drift beater for super cheap!

Alex Gassman is OMGGGGG
That little Merc C looks pretty stable in its footprint, reluctant to break out the tail. Might be a nice solid car to have around, then...
keep the benz and make a project series
Many years ago a friend rerouted the tubes from the windshield wipers to the rear tyres of a Datsun 120Y. Also he filled up with windshield wiper liquid bottle with oil instead of water. Boy that made that Datsun really drift.
Is the car rear wheel drive?
Anonymous Yes
Anonymous almost every mercedes and bmw is
Turboahdettu Supra right but now not more
Turboahdettu Supra The A Class Mercedes is FWD
You can't drift a FWD car.
Weld the dif, raise the rear tire pressure, maybe even wet the track. You've only got 200 in it, have some fun!
lol i was thinking the whole clip like "the F man, clutch kick it" then i realized its auto.
0:42 Amazing turn!!!!!!!!!!
No way 200£, in Germany only 1 Mercedes rim costs 700€
Englands car prices are super fucky. Because they have the steering on thewrong side albanians dont take them, neither do many african nations.
And their insurance is bonkers so younh people would have to pay more than thrice the cost in insurance.
always wanted one of those old c classes for drifting. Cut the springs, weld the diff and put thicker oil in the shocks
Would have been good if it was a manual
what the hell does that have to do with anything
Cars and tech to initaiate oversteer and minimize understeer he could have kick the clutch, reved out gears, used the e brake while the clutch was engaged so he wasn't fighting the car. Way easier to break traction in a manual car and control it. Wouldn't matter too much if he was driving in snow/mud/rain though
tecnui ahh
Yea, but e brake is used with pedal on older mercs exept w201 aka 190 :)
Firstly you dont need a hand e-brake for this car from personal experience because you can kick the shit out of the clutch even in the c220d which is slow af just clutch kick the thing and you are ok ;)
Weld the diff and disable esp. it should make life a bit easier
call Oliver Amon ;D
I love the old car vids you guys do, one of the best channels on TH-cam in my opinion
£500 jaguar: will it rally?
Only one way to find out ;)
the momment alex wave his arm through the sunroof. thats what real joy is
Should have clutch kicked the hell out of it
"baby drift" :))) perfect video :)
I hope to continue this drift serie
How the fuck are cars so cheap in the UK? 200 quid for a mercedes in working condition? are you nuts?
CRGamingHD well define working... the suspension is fucked and theres nothing left of the bodywork, i doubt the internals are healthy as well.
"Working condition" doesn't mean legal or safe. £200 for a car and thousands more to get it back on the road.
Well the thing is that I compared what the car would cost if it would be sold in my country, that's why I am so astonished. Here in Romania, this would be roughly 500-1000$ in this condition. And as you both said, you would have to invest a lot , arriving to the point where it isn't worth it. But if you want a car just to have fun with, it would be good ( not on public roads ).
CRGamingHD selling mine in spain With 167000 km for 700€
You guys should make a series about cheap cars like this, they're entertaining!
You are not allowed to stand on the top of a Mercedes ...do that using your BMW ..The best or nothing
Tselikas N. Yiannis total disrespect
it's actually fun to watch you guys having even more fun :D like it
lose the weight and it will be easier :)
Savage fuck
Emir Hamidović bruhh
maam i've been waiting for this kind of video for years now. amazing bravo
hahahaah hilarious
Find the welder and grinder. Cut off springs, weld dampers, weld diff, done :P
This, really, was the worst generation of Mercedes ever built.
beeeneee why do u say that? we had a one for five years it was a tank
I had both an E class and a ML from that period and both of the cars were crazy unreliable. Applies to the C class as well, look at the statistics...
beeeneee my c class is reliable
beeeneee from our personal experience regardless of statistics it was a super reliable car. So I guess we got lucky
Mine is a 96 c180. AND IT REALLY IS A TANK! I love it. Found it for 200£ because there was some stuff broken on it and the keyfob wasnt working(because of a loose button). Fixed it, and 1 and a half year later, I still haven't paid more fore repairs and services than I bought the car for and it is a total blast on the winter roads.
Also easily doing roundabouts sideways without any trouble :D
Always giving a nice video to watch !
loving the cheap second hand stuff videos!
More to come!
I Remember that once winter i got even our McCulloch 8hp drifiting a bit of land.
Of course downhill...:)
this is Car guys' version of "will it blend?"
Looks like budget cuts have hit the Car Throttle hard.
Did you notice broken left rear light and taped rear bumper? I think someone else has tried drifting. :)
Poor old w202. You should drain the oil out of that bmw and do the same what you did to the merc . 😪
My friend had one of these, we used to do skids with it on the snow. Five minutes later I was on phone with my dad asking him to tow us out of the ditch. Fun times.
this was very fun to watch just them yelling and cheering when they managed to do some drifts was great :)
More £200 car videos! Fun!
My brother has one of these. He bought one for 1500€ and it's in a very good condition. Everytime it starts to snow, he goes out on an abandoned parking lot, and drifts it. :)
Keep this work up! This is so awesone
You'll like Wednesday's video especially ;)
I'm so skillful that I drift my batmobile bed round the bedroom every night.
WE NEED MORE VIDS OF THESE
LSDiff, new wheels, anti-roll bars, coilovers, turbo, injectors, spark-plugs and hidraulic e-brake is all between this mercedes and drifting.
lego technic just weld a diff, throw away some of the interior that you don't need and that's it- legit drift missile on a budget ;)
Radek Korczyński You will still need anti-roll bars.
lego technic pff.. Not really
atleast CUT THE SRPINGS! or take em away complety! or some cheap coilovers
You need to make this into a series!!
This top gear style videos are great!
Alex is having way too much fun.
I drive this every day and it is a true wet weather warrior, Maybe round 2 in the wet? :D
Disconnected the abs it lowers the traction control , weld the shocks solid to stop the roll and weld the diff
Love your channel dude
These old cheap cars are so much more fun than the usual new ones
U should weld that's merc's diff. My friend had old w124 200D merc (about 75hp from factory) what we driftet. we put 5bars of pressure to back tires and off we go :D. If needed more faster drift get 60mph to clock and throw first or second gear in, and release clutch.
Put the smaller tyres in the back, like 155 or 145 and make huge drifts at low speed of course
Coming back to this vid years later never thought I'd see Alex from camber and combustion on here lol
love these kind of videos
The car I learned drifting with ;)
Just the 5 Gear Manual C200
I'd spend money and restore this car back to it's glory.Damn Mercs are worth it.Built like tank cars !
old heaps are loads of fun.
Best thing is that you couldn't care if it dies.
I've got the same one. also a 94, but the 220. manual. actually drifts well, even with 444000 km on the clock
2.22 Yea We all know what scandi flick is and how to do it, but here in Finland where that style is from we call it ''Vastaheitto''
