Re: [MBZ] Squareback Crackalack

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I put a tune on Angie's Golf because it also fixed a problem we had with a 
sensor in the turbo. The results were absolutely worth it. Her car wasn't slow 
before but it's a rocketship now.

Re: [MBZ] Squareback Crackalack

140-150hp depending on which one exactly but about 230lbft of torque. It's the 
torque that makes it fun.

A stage 2 tune on that engine takes you to 160hp and nearly 300lbft with no 
hardware modifications. Stage 3 needs a new turbo but is 190/325...

I would guess a 2.0l TDI would do quite a bit better, I think they make about 
140hp?

The waterboxer in my Vanagon was just OK, it would do 70-75 on the interstate 
but not really any more than that without getting pretty close to red-line. It 
was pretty torquey though, and around town it was fine, at least with the

Re: [MBZ] A '72 Gremlin is worth more than most '72 Mercedes models

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

Number two of the top three cutest girls attending East Peoria Community High 
School had a Levi’s Edition Gremlin. Her dad traded it, in 1978, for a Gremlin 
GT. By comparison, that GT was badass. I drove it once, taking her home through 
blizzard condition (she was afraid to drive in the snow). Her mother was 
grateful I got her home safely. Her father later told my father he was glad I 
was a good kid and I didn’t try to “knock her up”. 
That was the only time I drove anything AMC.

[MBZ] OT scrap values

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I was quoted $170 for my focus, with tow-away. The yard pays $160/ton. Is that 
about average?

It has a good running engine and transmission, all four wheels are good and I 
have two extras, tires are good, how likely is it that I could sell it as a 
parts car for more? I guess the answer is list it and see

I do not have time or inclination to part it out myself.

It's currently not roadworthy (brakes out) and IMO not worth repairing due to 
extensive rust.

Re: [MBZ] Squareback Crackalack

[OK Don via Mercedes]

My Mom's Microbus, 18(?) window had the 1200cc 36HP engine. She hated it
because it was too slow. She said it was too slow to drive on the highway.
We later found out that the speedo was reading 10MPH too low. When she
thought it would only go 60, it was actually 70. She never did believe that

Re: [MBZ] Squareback Crackalack

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

The worst Vanagon was the diesel (1.6 liter, 48hp non-turbo same as the rabbit 
engine). They were dangerously slow accelerating and people often blew up the 
engines trying to drive them faster than they should.

I would guess a 2.0l TDI would do quite a bit better, I think they make about 
140hp?

The waterboxer in my Vanagon was just OK, it would do 70-75 on the interstate 
but not really any more than that without getting pretty close to red-line. It 
was pretty torquey though, and around town it was fine, at least with the 
manual transmission.

[MBZ] 2002 S500 - 179k miles - $6,900

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

"Manual" transmission -- well I guess you select "P", "R", or "D" manually...

Rusty, like all of them around here that are this old, and needs suspension so 
the price is too much. But I guess factor in about $500-$600 for the new tires. 
Fuzzy pics but Interior looks nice.

Re: [MBZ] Squareback Crackalack

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Yes that could be another good option. I believe that they bolt up to the 
transmission without an adapter -- at least some of the inline-4 VW engines 
did. They kept the transmission bolt pattern the same over many decades.

Re: [MBZ] Squareback Crackalack

There's a guy putting 2.0l TDI engines in. The Grind Hard Plumbing Co guys had 
one done.
If I were going to do it that's what I'd want.

There was a kit to put a Ford Focus (Zetec) engine in a Vanagon. It seemed well 
done, but not cheap -- $7,900 and that doesn't include the engine. I'd probably 
do that over a Subaru conversion. Based on my experience with my '03 Focus, the 
Zetec engine is bulletproof.

What a beauty!

A little bit of work cleaning up things, like the gross shifter surround
