I crashed my 190 , and i drive a twingo now , you make me relive my 190 memories such a great car , and rip to the creator of the 190 series such a chad
Reminds me how lucky i got buying my replica evo2 in 2006 for $5,000. $800 for evo2 wheels that required $1,100 to fix them. And $80 for my S600 grille.
I built an Evo2 replica starting with a 1986 Cosworth 16v. It cost me $8k all in to build the car, doing all the labor myself. The car was $4500 as a rough driver. It had 3 piece OZ 17 inch wheels for R129 chassis ($400 from Ebay), and PPG base/clear metallic black paint. The Evo2 kit was used but never installed at $1k shipped (total junk fiberglass kit), but I was able to sell off a lot of the 16v Cosworth body kit to recoup that cost. I must have had 200+ hours into body and paint, but it came out perfect. Never do that again.
and thats almost 5k++ less than actualy, thanks to the ppl who helped. And you didnt do the engine... im 15k into mine 2.3+ next gen kompressor... and im doing the small evo kit... next car i do will be the big evo with 2.5TD ... 20k only for evo2 kit.... i dont wanna think about it :D PS. There is a company in Bulgaria that is currently making( still not ready for selling) evo 2 kit for decent money and quality...
There's a company in Germany (Göckel) who sells these Evo II bodykits for like 4.000€. They can also do it for you with paint for 7-8k. And those are street legal too.
I wish you would go into more detail on the EVO II kit and particularly if you would recommend hedge hog. Fellow 190 owner here and really would like an honest video on what you recommend after going through the process.

Your Sky blue 190E evo 2 is the most beautiful build ever and also is kind a tribute car built and i love your 190E evo 2 more than rocky's 190E NFS is just a bloody Rubbish.
People will continue to criticize you for spending too much for a 2.3 liter, and justifiably so. But that is what it truly costs to build any car when you can't do the labor your self.
My first car is a 190 im doing an evo replica aswell m104 with a 6 speed manual 😂 a good tip would be to get a cosworth 190 steering box they have a tighter steering ratio
Well worth it though! Love your EVO 2 man. I'm currently at $21,824 and counting into my 190e EVO 1. Engine and transmission are next. Wish me luck. 🥹🤟🏽
I’m sorry but you got scammed on the body kit and car itself. I bought mine for 500$ dollerydoos clean title 0 rust but blown motor so far am 3500 into it and is an amazing car. The kit could have been bought for 2k and still fixed the all that work. Very cool build although love how it came out but you paid way too much.
I was thinking the same. I got mine for 1700 running with no rust, I even bought a 87 2.5td for it's perfect interior, running with perfect body only $1k I got the windshield replaced 2 weeks ago $306 out the door, and I got evo 1 chromies for $800, Even before owning mine, I used to see evo2 kits for $1.2k and like $350 shipping, I don't really see the $20k justification, because aa it sits, it's still a run down base 2.3, None will give him more than $5k max for the whole thing....
2 reasons I didn’t: 1. I have only seen 1 Cosworth sell for under $20k in the last year. 2. I like being unique, while many have regular Cosworths no one else has a baby blue Evo 2 Replica.
Hi I am a kid in high school and when I get my license I am really hoping that I can build a 190 evo replica just like yours. You were mostly my inspiration to build my dream car. What are some tips to start building it to make this dream come true?
Yoooo I randomly came across this car on Instagram the other day. It was parked somewhere and people were taking pictures of it in the street. Beautiful car, and a beautiful color choice. Glad I found the channel by a random TH-cam recommendation.

One of my sons favroite cars Is a mercedes 190E evo 2 so glad he showed me your channel
Infamous Aero should have done a mould from your body kit to replicate and sale.
This build would’ve been more expensive but the people you worked with are nice with labor costs. ❤
If it wasn’t for Jason this car wouldn’t exist
@@magnacars The best part about car builds are the people you meet along the process and they become family. Something money can't buy.
Jason is a legend. I was so impressed with his work. Such a great build.
I owe him so much
That looks incredible, great job with the car :O

Good for you! Does the S600 grille fit?
@@magnacars it fits really nice aside from the paint peeling issues
For an evo2 kit, Goeckle in Germany is the place to order.
Nice build and I spend really good time to see this journey 👍
Pretty good looking TAXI. Well done.
Thanks mate
PPF the front windshield, the protective film shields the window against stones etc.
Dude, we loved seeing this car at the MY autoshow --- chatting with you inspired me to start my own channel. You rock!
It was a wild ride. Defintely a highlight of my summer workimg on the car and the memories made in the shop will mever be matched
hedgehog sells the evo exhaust tips you're looking for. I got 2 and happy with the final product.
I asked him to order one
Keep it up 👊🏻

Wow, thanks for sharing! How’s the car now? When did you build it?
@@magnacars Sold it. I built it in 2002-2003. 190E 16v is gutless vs. an E30 M3, so really wasn't fun to drive, only to look at
Awesome work, very handsome result…

which m104 did you go with and which transmission? was thinking of the 3.2L 104.99x from the R129 SL320 but I'm also thinking of the 3.0 m103
@@grantcapel9884 went with the m104.99x and a bmw ZF GS6-37bz
Great looking car, it turned out really nice. But boycott the shop that stole your stuff.
Not much I can do about them. I tried contacting a lawyer.
@@magnacars What's the name of the company? It'd be good to know so other people can avoid them.
Hi where do you buy the kit ? Thnxs !
Amg hammers go proper staggered
Well worth it though! Love your EVO 2 man. I'm currently at $21,824 and counting into my 190e EVO 1. Engine and transmission are next. Wish me luck. 🥹🤟🏽
We’re on the same track
BRO, what are those Rims? I need a set
nevermind, just heard you mention them in the video lol

I wish I could do this with a Koenig specials or ABC exclusive Mercedes

@@moderncoacheswhere are you guys located? UK?
@@magnacars seattle
You could’ve easily bought a cosworth with that price but I guess the content was worth it after all
2 reasons I didn’t:
1. I have only seen 1 Cosworth sell for under $20k in the last year.
2. I like being unique, while many have regular Cosworths no one else has a baby blue Evo 2 Replica.
Airsuspention could be the solution
You also have a scalemodel of your car?
Yes! 1/24 scale my friend made for me for free
@@magnacars Very nice. :) Will we ever see it in a video?
The labor on that kit would really cost 30k. Good friends.

Find a good kit and buy a 2.6 clean 190
@@magnacars what kit would you recommend?
Why didn't you buy the kit from Bavarian Motor sports Atlanta Georgia For $8000.00
Never heard of them
Can you paint it beige for the ultimate taxi experience?

It’s because 90% of my subscribers are from my top viewed shorts. I’m going to make a video addressing this because people don’t seem to understand.
He paid way too much for that 190. The m o st I would i paid 700 dollars!
they scammed you on the kit big time omfg :( kit is 2k euro in europe
Tell me where to buy a kit or I’m doing the eBay one 🥲
I will make another video but I do not recommend the Duraflex eBay kit at all.
