Biodiesel is actually a strong solvent. You have to replace some rubber lines with special ones (can't remember the types right off my head) They will actually clear all the **** out of your fuel lines and injectors. On old dirty diesels (like real old, not like 2 years) this can actually cause a problem as the gunk will stop it up a little bit until it all goes through. With a new JD it should run fine... shame folks don't run it in their deuces and 5 tons...

nice car....BUT it is a Ford and it is unibody construction. I am not a Ford guy. My cars are GM oldsmobile, larger, and have a full steel frame. But then again they arent in such good shape. Well, one will be soon. What is that stangs 1/4 mile time?

and my VW golf (rabbit in usa) build 1991 had 90 HP and i bet it was faster on the autobahn than your willie :p

and this "crap" 2.5 Beetle can go 140-150 mph. how fast is your willie?
Willies Roadster can drag that Beetle faster than it has ever gone before. Both in terms of acceleration from a stop, and top speed. It is not a production car, it is a Custom Roadster. Think about a 400+HP MG. It is only limited by its final drive gear which at 1-1 is only maybe 20% lower gear than the beetles overdrive. Now if you factor in the taller rear end for racing it it probably the same final drive ratio.

He has dusted everything on the street around here, a Viper, a z06 vette, they all fall victim to his Willies. Maybe you are just a kid that cannot grasp the concept of a 400+ HP motor in a tube chassis that weighs ~1-ton. And as far as handling, it is a go-cart. He even has slicks with the 1 grove to make them street legal. :cool:

Hillbillies can make better cars than production lines.

Do I see a '67 Cutlass?????
Yes you do, good call - most people dont recognise.
Stock as I can keep it. Bought in 1986 for the paltry price of $1500 USD.
I love the car, but not exceedingly popular for the masses.

Well, gas prices have forced me out of a V8 (25 MPG) car as my daily driver. Here is my "new" car. A 1987 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z.

It was $800 dollars and came with a running (wrecked) '87 Turbo Z parts car.

Awesome. Cosmostar is just what I call that type of wheel, I can never remember what they're actually called.

Never actually seen a kreidler from after 1971!

Get some actual paint on that mofo. No classic Charger deserves a primer-only paint job!

EDIT: Is that an Olds' 442 or Cutlass? VERY nice taste in cars my friend.

I see no reason to paint it. Yeah it might look better but it doesn't make it go faster! Think of all the performance you could put in that car for the $5,000 (true proper paint job) he could put in paint.
