I like the taillight
 
and the liberal use of great stuff foam.
it looks like a lot of work with plywood and angle brackets... on the plus side, he could hang a working disco ball inside and plug it into the other outlet.

But since it is somewhat aerodynamically challenged, I would expect that he is loosing at least that when at speed!

Dunno who Red-Green is but the Wakaba mark on this car confuses me more then his A/C setup.

It looks like an old American car in an American parking lot... so what's up with that?!

I don't understand what this thread has to do with diesel discussion.:confused:

redassag00 06-08-2006 04:26 PM

So where do I get a diesel generator that'll fit on my trunk?

I got mine from ebay. 6500W for $900.

But the real question is: What refrigerant is that thing running?

Is that gegerator quiet enough to run in a quiet neighborhood all night long?

Rick Miley 06-08-2006 05:02 PM

No. But I don't like my neighbors, so I'm really hoping for some good hurricanes this year. :D

This thread has everything to do with diesel MB's. If you have an auto 240D the compressor sucks like 1/2 your hp. So this is a solution...:D

Wow...that'd be 34 hp left for "driving" (or rolling quickly perhaps) :D ;)

I remember when my car had working A/C many a year ago, it didn't seem to sap that much off overall, but it did kill takeoff acceleration a bit. Now that I don't even have a belt to my A/C anymore, no worries there! :o

I'm thinking that guy has an extreemly hot girlfriend...how did he pass emissions?...boy that's a loaded question...
