My car is part Opi now

Some damn kids walked on my car a couple months back, put a bunch of dents in the roof and hood. Now she spends her nights in a storage unit so that doesn't happen again. Got the roof fixed then the other week I went and picked up Opi's hood. I met Opi!

When the hood gets painted... make sure they paint the bumper too!

It's on the list, along with a few other things

If you're not careful.. you might blow the paint right off

+ 1 yellow hood
=
+1500 hp.

I know it's risky but I think it's worth it

I thought we already went over this... All the yellow SRT-4's crash. It's because they're faster than the 'standard' colors.

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 3:32 pm

Any one have an extra yellow srt rear they want to sell?

neonpla · Post by **neonpla** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 5:02 pm

Why that's my winter Civic. I'm not real fond of it but it is good for hauling parts around.

Might be getting rid of it soon. I just got my hands on this

Just need to get it cleaned up, get it in good working order, and get a title.

Probably going to use it as a daily driver for a year and then turn it into a track car and run it in Onelap

It's a 1986 Mercedes Benz 190e. 2.3L 4 Cylinder, 5 speed, it's a fun little car.
Just got this car last week. Buddy of mine was selling his shop and had a bunch of parts cars and scrapped most of them but this was still in pretty decent shape and he didn't want to scrap it but didn't really have much luck selling so he said if I wanted it I was more then welcome to come and get it. It had been sitting out behind it shop for over a year so it was gonna take alittle bit to get it running. So me and a friend drove down to Cincinnati, picked up a uhaul and spent the day getting it and towing it back home.

Since then I've gotten it running but I think it needs a new master cylinder, voltage regulator, corner lights, and a title.

^cool!!! big upgrade from a civic...how is everything else on the mercedes?

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 6:42 pm

Overall for an 86, not to bad at all. No real dents or rust. Interior is ok. Engine has 250k and is still pretty sound. If I ever have any problems with the friend that I got it from is a Merc Mechanic trained in Germany and is a Ferrari mechanic as well so I have someone to answer any questions I may have.

This is like the 3rd car with a sunroof that I've had and this is the first one to actually work.

This is my first RWD car as well. Should be fun!

Now take it easy there big guy, don't wanna go wrecking that 1,500 HP monster now.

It just looks funny as hell to see yellow on red like that... and it's a damn shame the you couldn't bring the civic out to have a winter beater photoshoot.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 10:27 pm

Yeah I know, but for some reason I just don't trust that car for driving that distance. I think the water pump is going out.

It's been a real mild winter here for some reason. We have yet to really see any accumulating snow this year. Which kinda sucks because I want to go out and "drift" the Honda and just plain beat the shit out of it. But alas, no snow. But it is nice as well because I can get the Neon out every now and then.

Yeah, you are getting ripped off. Average tempatures around here have been around the 40-60. Which is really freaking weird.
