Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 06-05-2011
Bought the car in march after sitting for 18-24 months (owner forgot). I bugged the owner and her sisters for almost a year, till she finally agreed to sell it to me. $500 bucks, a tow strap, and a 1/2 ton pickup later it was in my driveway, I only lived like 1 mile away so I risked it. I drove the truck, as my dad sat in the benz, he got bored while slowing down for a stop sign, and decided to roll start it... Well it worked. Holy smoke batman, it was like a container ship with a blown turbo ha.
Enough rambling on.
The car is a april build 1984 300D turbo. Silver blue metallic, on navy blue tex.
So far I've replaced the fender, hood, had the front end professionally straightened, got it running nicely, fixed a exhaust leak, fixed a boost leak, disabled EGR and switchover valve, replaced fuel filters, installed boost gauge, replaced the original becker with a new kenwood, installed a 12in polk audio sub in a sealed box, installed euro tails, euro low spec headlights, depo clear corners spray tinted with nite shade, new grille insert, disabled the door locks, disabled the factory alarm, and oh yeah the front end got resprayed.
Next up will hopefully be
0. Tweak my extra MW-pump from old part car
1. New shocks
2. mild drop
3. 16 inch CLK's
4. frenched hella 500's
5. 4300k mexi hid kit for the H4's
6. 3000k mexi hid kit for the h3's
7. 5 speed swap
8. sell and buy a e39 bmw

Boostin
Here it was, before I fixed the boost issue.
Oh yeah I removed the rear muffler (the source of the exhaust leak), but it's still to quiet, therefore its going in to have the center muffler professionally removed.

No it wasn't but the dealio that the headlamp fits into was majorly screwed up all the way to the back half of the front fender.

autotragic for now.
My 240D 3.0 was a stick.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - willbhere4u - 06-06-2011
I like the early euro lights they very are cool looking!
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 06-06-2011
Yeah I want some of those early Euro's Sooooooooooo bad!!!
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 06-06-2011
I have a couple extras minus lenses. Lemme know if you want em. Theres a seller on ebay that sells repro low spec lenses from latvia.
Hell I should just build a extra set, and sell them for $
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 06-07-2011

Straight piped it. Louder than hell. Todays my birthday.... going to a 4x4 shop with my dad to buy some Hella 500's...
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 06-14-2011
Happy Birthday.
Straight piped all the way out the back?

Thanks man.
Yep all the way out. $80 to remove the center muffler. I had already removed the rear muffler when I bought the car. So much turbo whistle... For a garrett at least...
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - led-panzer - 06-14-2011
Happy birthday.
You think that's loud, try having an exhaust that's only 16" long

I did the open downpipe... for a day.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 06-14-2011
Picking up the Hella's on thursday. They're the old school flutted glass style 500's, versus the 500FF's. I like the old ones much more.
I opted for the driving light pattern to fill in my euro H4 highbeams. I'm thinking 55 watt 4300k xenon's for the driving lights in the future.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 06-15-2011
Yeah the Garrett's Whistle pretty sweet huh!

I'd much rather have a KKK. They scream like sexy time.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 06-16-2011
Lol, I wanna hear it! Wait till you hear my 60 Trim Garrett
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 06-17-2011
Got the Hella 500's installed this afternoon. Mmmmmm
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - CJP28 - 06-21-2011
Sweet ride man! I love those wheels! And those headlights look pretty nice aswell
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 07-16-2011
Thinking about putting it back to bone stock, and selling it. E39 wagon with a 5 speed manual is really calling my name...
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - JustPassinThru - 07-16-2011
I'd like the Euro heads and tails, the skid plate/protection plate, the roof rack, maybe the custom fairing, and maybe the Hella's.

Tempting. PM me about it. I live in Bellevue.
If you have a stock exhaust system, and you dont want it I'd be down to trade. I feel potential buyers would not like my uber loud exhaust.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - JustPassinThru - 07-17-2011
PM sent.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 07-21-2011
The bimmer sold before I even got a chance to look at it. New plan stick shift swap, tweak the pump, new cv axle, new rack dampener bolt, VNT.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 08-25-2011
Might be running into a bit of money in a couple months.
I'm thinking
1. Spax PSX lowering kit
2. manual swap
3. CLK wheels
4. Myna time...
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 09-14-2011
I've added a fram 8038, yakima bike rack attachment, and mud flaps.
Also took a shitty iphone video of the exhaust today.

RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 09-25-2011
Replaced the CV axles, thermostat, and coolant.
Next up will be CLK wheels, H&R springs, Bilstein HD's for the front, and Koni Red's for the rear.
Oh and my wagon front sway bar.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - iheartboost - 09-25-2011

They are about to be Dropnosky's wheels...
Oh I put a thrush glasspack muffler on. I couldn't stand the drone on the freeway, straight piped only lasted 4 months...

I love my w123 with a 3" straight pipe. But i do not do hardly any highway driving with it either
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 10-27-2011
Small update.
CLK's are on. Thanks dropnosky!
The tires are temporary $50 goodyears I found on CL. When I do new tires I'll probably go with 195-45's. :O
Next is spacers, HID's (can't see at night), and moar low.
PS don't hate on the image quality... It's my phone.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - JB3 - 10-27-2011
Wow! I don't remember sending you a set of rims that looked like that! What was the refinishing process? They look brand new
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 10-27-2011
Drop likes to send rusty NY shit LOL! hahahaha Looks good!
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 10-28-2011
(10-27-2011, 05:45 AM)dropnosky Wow! I don't remember sending you a set of rims that looked like that! What was the refinishing process? They look brand newI ended up stripping the clear coat off them, then re polishing them with mothers polish, and a mini powerball.

Lololololololol
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 11-07-2011
Still waiting on lowering it. Nelson is going to send me his spring compressor to play with...
In other news, it's been 10 days since I ordered my HID's, and they still haven't shipped yet... WTF
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 11-08-2011
What HID's did you go with?
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 11-11-2011
H4 hi/lo bixenon 55 watt 4500k's for the euro headlights, and 4500k 35 watt for the euro foglights. I already have a set of extra 3000k h3 bulbs from previous endeavors, and my dad is taking the HID's out of his sierra denali, so I'm stealing his ballast's for my extra bulbs so I can HID my hella's.
My low spec foglights have frenched reflectors, as well as W124 bulb caps, so I went with 4500k to make that into a crisp yellow instead of like a brown yellow if I did yellow plus yellow plus yellow...
Anyway... moral of the story is anything over 5000k is pure hongda fried rice, and you lose lumens.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Purplecomputer - 11-12-2011
that car looks great, Its similar to what I want to do with my car.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 11-22-2011
Ordered parts for it. Including new bilstein HD's front and rear.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - willbhere4u - 11-22-2011
I got those for my 1980 240d they work awesome! I also got there steering stabilizer!
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - Captain America - 11-22-2011
Lets see a picture of the lights!
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - mike-81-240d - 11-28-2011
Installed bilstein HD's, new rear door lock atuators, and my vacuum setup for my euro headlamps. Drove it all over hell. My friend commented that it rode rougher that his B7 Audi A4 S-Line. I think it's time for a Sport badge. hahaha. Next up will be bigger rear spacers, moar low, and my TDT sway bar.
(11-22-2011, 04:49 PM)Captain America Lets see a picture of the lights!
In time my friend.
RE: Mike's 84 300D (smush) - iheartboost - 11-28-2011
looks like i need blisten HD's and some H&R springs o.O
