2000 Mercedes Benz SLK230 w/sport-AMG body package. 65,000 miles, from Virginia. Interior need a complete overhaul (console, headliner, seats, dash), wheels are shot, and then the obvious outside damage. Should be a fun project for the next few months. Once i get moving on it i’ll make a progress thread up.
so what happened to it
nice :tup:
are the kompressors supercharged?
Hit something
I thought turbocharged, but according to MB service dept, it is indeed supercharged
ahh okay. How much power do these put down? any numbers? any plans with it performance wise?
Boosted yes, Supercharged or Turbo I’m unsure of which one. But MB usually goes with the superchargers.
Have you started pricing parts yet?? I bet they will set you back some change
numbers … i think stock is like 190hp/210’#
not sure if i’m going to really play with this much. Might be my summer DD, and do more to the M. Right now the focus will be to put it back to normal, then i’ll see where i am financially since i would like to be in a house by next summer.
Yea, got lines on most of what i need … the hood so far is the worst for the outside (~1k from the dealer and paint). Interior wise, i have no idea yet. Its worse that i originally thought, but shouldnt be too much more than i thought money wise.
Hit, left in a salvage yard and flooded?
no flood. car starts and runs perfect in a straight line. just doesnt move so well when you try and turn the wheel
so awful it’s like the ford of german cars.
:fry:
thats why its the DD and not the performance fun car
if it hit something then what happened to the inside lol theft?
no, i think they tried to dye the black white, and now its all flaking/wearing off
Damn, that thing looks used and abused. Hope you got it dirt cheap.
And I thought they were rated at 230bhp? Maybe that’s the 320.
That car looks like Lightning Mcqueen from Cars from the front haha. Good luck with the project.
its supercharged. I couldnt find HP specs tho
Good luck
and yea it’s supercharged. 193hp
