Is that an ex-police interceptor I'm assuming?

 

[High-Test]

I have three sub $1000 Mercedes-Benzes.

A gray 1984 300TD, a cream colored 1981 300TD, and a Euro-spec 1983 240D with a 4 speed manual.

The one image right I bought for $600 two years ago today. It ended almost a decade of being clean from the three pointed star.

The one image left is currently stripped nearly to the shell. I bought it for the third row seat and seat belts. Turns out it's a bit better than the '84 structurally.

Here's my daily. We call her Molly the goodest car.

No... Junkyard wheels.

 

[David]

Taken over at a friend's place on the 4th. The range of colors makes me laugh.

 

[nostradavor2]

waiting for new paint and many upgrades.. postponed due to stupid corona thing.

 

[ildd]

Got the Ford Performance tune and decided it was time for the first real shoot. I've put on 10k miles since I bought it. Excluding the main suspension components, still 100% warranty covered until 2024 when i hit 63k miles. So far, so good.

 

[SPhilli911]

Installed Mountune sport springs (supposed to be a little stiffer than OEM and lower about 1" all around) and Bilstein B8 dampers last week. Not much of a noticeable drop in ride height, really, at least not yet. But the car feels great in corners.

This makes me feel sick. Saturday can't come soon enough.

It's been a while since I've posted on this site...
I bought a brick a little while back...

Oh ya, the 700+hp daily driver is still my daily...

That's in incredible shape. '83 244 GLE?

 

[ND4SPD]

Thanks. It's an '82 GLE with the M46 4spd manual and electronic overdrive. It's in pretty good shape for being a 38 year old southern Ontario car! It only has slight rust on the bottom of the doors but other than that, it's pretty mint. Love this thing, it has so much character. Been driving it more than the Corvette lately!

 

[Fat Tyre]

I bought this little baby Mazda 2 on Friday. I'm picking it up tomorrow, so it's bye bye to my Saab!

 

[WrxScooby]

Though she was looking pretty in the sunset after I was done fishing so had to snap a pic.

 

[Crash]

The white ones.

As I was watching a YouTube video, I suddenly felt I saw that Audi before. Yours is at 4:27.

Yup that’s me! Edit: Doing some more race prep on the car for my event at Mid Ohio next week! Lots of major changes going on the car including a supercharger setup to get us right around 600 WHP!

Nice day out

Finally clean:

supercharger setup to get us right around 600 WHP!

Been a while since I saw you and I just realised I don't have you on Instagram anymore because I remade my account

I see y'all are going all in this season. How are the new seats?

The seats are great! The funny thing is, the class I race in kinda requires power levels like that to be competitive. Some of the top cars now are lapping right around what a GT4 car would do, and we’re all limited to running 200 TW street tires, so that’s where we have to be at.

Just out of curiosity: is your S4 street-legal? It may be a very stupid question but I'm not up-to-date in grassroots/club racing (I hope I didn't say anything stupid here).

So one of the rules for the class that I run in is that the car has to be registered, so yes the car is street car, but it’s not something I would necessarily want to drive on the street all the time. Just like any other form of racing, everyone tries to get every advantage they can possibly get, so that means figuring out a way to register a car that would otherwise just be a racecar for the street which is what all of the front runners are doing. There’s a bunch of funny rules to keep it somewhat of a road relevant class like requirements of keeping factory interior material like carpet and door cards in the front half of the car with parts trimmed away for the roll cage.

Thank you! In due time I wanna get a street-legal stripped down track car although not as extreme as yours but it's only a plan for now

Mine started out very simple and it just progressed over the years. Partially due to changing classes and partially due to competition progressing in a way that requires some pretty crazy cars.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

IT WORKS! I've never been so happy about DONK status

I'll do a full write-up of the job tomorrow in the car's thread. Next thing on the list that is suspension related is a recalibration. It sits way too high and exerts too much stress on the compressor.

New front and rear aero setup for Mid Ohio!

 

[fortbo]

A wet Mid Ohio is literally like driving on ice, there’s such a small amount of available grip.

I'm quite a fan of W115 and W123 diesel Mercedes'. I have an '85 300D, (used to have an' 84 300D) and my current daily driver is a '72 220D.

My gauge cluster lights haven't worked since I've owned the car, I decided to finally rectify that. Just turned over 107K miles, too.
