@ClayManOpen diff. But can replace it with LSD if buyer chooses so
@ClayManDifficult to say, cluster was innoperational when we got it. Engine/gearbox was chosen based on the best overall condition, so again mileage unknown. Either way, most wear items were replaced on all of these, so it shouldn't have issues any time soon
@DoctorEurocar The NA version is definitely much easier to swap, plus you don't need as strong clutch/gearbox/driveshaft etc
@Pmarsico9Sure does, tho not as cold as with OE R12 system. Thanks to all others for wonderful comments!
@DanSThat company is me hehe. You can contact me with a message here. Thanks to other commenters on your wonderful feedback!
@antonvtDear potential buyer, This radiator is only 5% smaller than the stock CLS/E55 kompressor one. Plus has split cooling for intercooler, oil cooler, and powerful ECU PWM controlled fan. So there are no overheating issues. Car was driven during this summer to confirm all is good.
@antonvt 2 sets of keys
@DanSOld parts are not part of the deal, but if the buyer wishes old engine/gearbox instead of M113k, I will swap it back. I don't know about regulations in Romania.
@DanS Depends what country you're from. Poland, Netherlands and few nordic states should have no problem, as far as I know. For Germany it needs power reduction and different front brakes. Best to ask your local authority. I still have original M117 engine and gearbox, which can be swapped back, but that would defeat entire purpose of this build. There is a reserve price, which is not disclosed to bidders. Good luck!
@DanSHaha no problem with the gearbox. That is me regulating the gas, so I don't spin out during hard acceleration. No TCS, like on the OEM M113k cars. All gears work perfectly fine
@DanSNot at the moment. It's possible, but engine power will have to be limited to 420 hp (Power can be 40% greater than the strongest model available, which was 300hp), unless TÜV would accept AMG as the strongest version, in that case, it will not need to be reduced. Front brakes will also have to be changed to 300mm 2 piston caliper ones to meet TÜV. I will do these modifications if the buyer is from Germany. Some countries don't require these changes, so I haven't done them. Depending on the buyer's location, I agree to do (to some extent) modifications necessary so it's road legal in their country
@MgtothebTransport of the car would cost a few thousand, depending on shipping company. Tax is 2.5%. The only issue might be EPA. EPA states cars over 25 years old can be imported if they have original, or same like original engine, or have engine which meets Emission standards for the given year (1985) or better. Engine is 20 years newer, has stock power and stock cats, so I would guess it meets the EPA standards for the 1985 year, but I don't know for sure Would be best to contact EPA directly and ask. Engine power can also be reduced, if needed to pass it
@Kfossum Thank you! I must admit, it attracts so much attention, maybe too much
@D2_S8_DailyThanks! Gearbox is the strongest passenger 'box available, NSG510
