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

06-05-2011, 11:54 PM #1Bought 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11-11-2011, 09:13 PM #44H4 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.
