Hey my dad had one like this back in the day. We watched the video together and hes saying that it sounds just like the one he had :) We have one question though, about the steering wheel. He says the one in this video is from a newer model, the /8 (Strich-Acht). Is it?
Sounds good. Just installed a 48 sidedraft on my car. Start it up and has a massive exhaust leak at the manifold. All I did was swap manifolds and carbs. Set up looks identical to yours except it's a side draft. Did you run into this issue at all?
Thanks, but the gearbox is well after its prime, when it was smooth and tight. Now (especially the down-) shifting is noisy and harsh because of the worn gear dogs. The ratios are sublime though. What do you want to know specifically? Give me your e-mail address and I will be glad to reply.
Yo, I was wondering, what exhaust do you have in it? Straight pipe? Dump straight out the extractors? Cos is sounds mad! I’d love to get my gti sounding like that
I cant believe Im saying this but this is the car that fall's under the dream car category for me. Its definitely not the only one but, its a car that once I buy it, I will never get rid of.
Did everyone notice the effortless torque when he was passing the van @2:22. He was only nudging the gas pedal with his big toe to open up the secondaries on the carburetor. He wasn't even close to having the gas pedal to the floored.
@@Rawnfella An Rx7 with a good, strong well maintained engine will get get off the line pretty good. in this video the driver barely rolled into the gas to pass that van.He just happened to have it in a way higher than he needed to.That is why the car was revving so high.
Hi @rotaryhungary your W110 Diesel is fantastic!!!! what modify did you make for the gearbox in the floor? in the heckflosse Diesel series the original is steering gearbox, or i am wrong?
Hey my dad owned one like this back in the day. He says some models still had the steering wheel gear lever, but his had the regular floor gearbox, the way we know them today. I dont know wether this was an optional feature, or if they just switched the whole production over to the floor gearbox.
This is perfect. Shame those who haven't physically driven one can't feel the vibration free engine dynamics when it's revving through the RPM. You really do realise that's why the engineers put the rev buzzer in. This is going into a special folder 👍
