100% Green Diesel Mercedes Build

sidewaysrules · 01-26-2011, 05:27 PM

This weekend we will finish stripping the Mercedes CLK provided by
Matt Bourne of http://www.socalmercedesparts.com/
The car will run on Synthetic Diesel made from grass and tree waste http://www.rentechinc.com/silvaGas.php
car will hopefully run sequential turbos, One small one big!! Viper box etc and widebody kit
this is what it looked like before we tore it apart

and hopefully this will be the finished project

We will post build pictures as we go
thanks

Is this going to be a competitive car? or just a demo car?

who's driving it?

sidewaysrules · 02-15-2011, 03:36 PM

OK this is how the fuel is made

sidewaysrules · 02-15-2011, 03:37 PM

Hope the car will be competitive

waste of time building it otherwise although with the straight 6 engine over the front axle will be "fun" to drift

any word of a driver?

any new progress yet?

sidewaysrules · 02-16-2011, 01:54 PM

Stupid question...

So this being a "clean" desiel mean that it won't be spueing out obnoxious amounts of black smoke will it? I recently got "smoked out" by a dodge ram on the freeway as he floored it. Not pleasent. I can only imagine being at a race track...
