Thanks Floss. 120kmh is our speed limit here(not that too many people obey it...) so it should be a match made in heaven!
Cheers,

Clem

Hallo,
My 230S is running fine and I had several holiday's with it (oa. to Rome, Paris, Muenchen) for big parts driving on the highways.

The 120PS M180 engine is also making a lot of noise on high speeds.

The car has originally a quite short rear axle transmission of 1 : 4,08.

The later 230.6 mercedes with the same engine did have shorter axles of 1 : 3,69.
To lower the revs somewhat I mounted 195/80 R14 wheels on it, which could add up to around 200RPM less at 120 km/h.
Anyway, I feel safe driving the car up to 140 km/h for longer distances without getting a bad feeling about the engine. (Even while running it on liquid petrol gas).
Good luck!

Mathieu
