Alfa's Family's New 1993 300TE

Dang dude, that's a beautiful car. There aren't many cars made, ever, that look good from any angle. Take a picture of my car from ten degrees off the wrong angle and it looks like a fat pig (which it is.)

Okay, a junkyard trip later and lots of good condition interior bits later, as well as my dad making the engine shotgun 1/3 can of seafoam, this thing goes like a bat outta hell. All morning I wanted to be able to get it to go on cam (4000RPM), but I got stuck behind a vato doing 10 under in an old Mazda. I successfully resisted the urge to do an illegal pass in case the motor went wonky, which it had been doing pre-seafoam. After class let out, I got to get it on the highway and drop the hammer, pretty good, ended up merging at 90MPH when it upshifted to 3rd. And then I got behind a Gland Pee doing 55 and a rolling roadblock across the highway. The guy goes and gets in the exit lane I want to, and knowing full well that he's going to be doing 15 on the resulting road, I rip the asshole stop and drop the hammer.

55-90 in about 4 seconds. And a sound that no Honda could ever produce.

VTEC, eat your heart out.

Shameless plug.

RICER!

RICER!

Not so fast, the numbers on these engines begin with WA, with signifies an AMG assembled engine. That's why rebuilds for these are so ungodly expensive (even by Merc standards).

Mercedes-Benz TE30 AMG?

Bullshit, we've got three.
There's my 300SE, this 300TE (family car), and my moms '73 450SL.

This is what I did today.

This:

Is now this:


Euro headlight retrofit and wiper/washer delete. I like it, it makes the car look a helluva lot newer than it really is.

Something about the angle of the "before" picture brought to mind a K-car.

I agree. Now it looks early '90s instead of '80s.
