I put a fuel preheater in my 85 300D this weekend. As i suspected, the system sticks out like a sore thumb in the engine compartment.
I also once drafted up all the parts/plans to put a Volvo Intercooler in my 85 300D, the Volvo Turbo hoses are rubber and were easily cut and mated with Home Depot PVC and Copper plumbing supplies and I did the plumbing easily. I was ready to do the install but I dropped the project in the end because I didnt want to turn a reliable car into something shakey and hard to fix 500 miles away from home..
My W123 300D has great paint and looks only 3 to 4 year from the factory. In the back of my mind, it will run to 2015 and be a classic, and thats why I like to keep it STOCK.
I mean I am not putting MAGS on it ( Yes i have seen them that way) , painting it Scarlet Red ( i have seen one), I am not putting in a LCD TV/GPS/DVD (seen one), and I am not replacing the mahogany with Aluminum (seen one)..
I do all this to my Volvo 940..
