Mercedes Benz 300d Turbo Diesel "wvo Converted" Kit Installed Rare on 2040-cars
Jasper, New York, United States
|
Mercedes Benz 300D I have read that only 135 of this particular model was produced therefore it is very rare. The fryertofuel brand kit works flawlessly and this car has logged over half of its life mileage on grease. Fryertofuel sold and installed this kit years ago and they are still in business today with excellent customer service. You start the car on diesel, let the engine get up to operating temperature, flip a switch and bam your running on veggie oil! It has a separate heated aluminum tank in the trunk for the veg. Im going to be as clear as possible. Without running this car down Im going to say its kind of a "beater" car. Yes it was a high end luxury car in 93 but its logged almost 300k so therefore it shows wear and use appropriate with age. That being said it runs EXCELLENT. I drive it daily(selling only to convert a truck) The body does have some heavy rust and paint bubbling. The underside has surface rust only. The heater does not work that great and the sunroof doesn't open but everything else seems to work as it should. Power heated leather seats! The engine and drivetrain run and shift as they should. The engine has a lot of blow by that blows oil out over time. This is very common with these cars due to the crankcase pressure being so high. I just keep an eye on it and add a dab now and then. If you buy this car and plan to drive it home I will give you enough grease to drive home on and I will also educate you on my grease cleaning system. I have a system designed that is fairly inexpensive to build and works awesome. Ive never had a clogged filter or been stranded. greasecar.com has a lot of valuable info if your new to the idea. This cars original diesel system is still in place and unmolested. Does not have to run on veg grease but the way I see it is why buy gas when you can drive for free. literally. This kit is $1295 plus shipping and $500 average installation cost. Just something to think about if you buy a car that's not converted. |

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
