I do not drift it at. Not sure the rear end would like that very much. I'm thinking a w126 LSD rear retrofit may solve that problem though.
It drives like any 240D would. A little rugged and diesel like. Still slow by todays standards but pretty quick for an 35 year old diesel. It's lowered on vogtland springs and shitty kyb shocks. It gets about 29mpg mixed. The rearend is pretty annoying because it cruises at 60mph higher in the rpm's than I really like. I have another rearend that I may swap out and see how much it helps out. I think a 5th gear would really be what the car needs.

It has never been dyno'd.
It's an inline 5 diesel, with an A2W intercooler, garret vgt turbo (Jeep Liberty). It's running 15psi and not making a lot of power. It needs the injector pump modified to make any real power which is money because there isn't a lot of places to get it done ($1300+). I don't plan on putting a whole lot of money into it really.
It has no AC from the factory. It was an European delivery special order and has basically no options. Crank Windows, manual heater, manual sunroof. I like it though. It's unique and has potential yet still economical. Not very luxurious, but that's why I have the S-klasse.
