How insane is this???? The sound is delicious and the flames from the exhaust on the gear changes just blows my mind... :cool::D:cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igmNPP7R0NM&feature=related But yes unfortunately the TGA team leave a lot to be desired (to put it kindly). :confused::(

Now I wish they'd do something similar with a 6.3 and a 6.9! :cool::D I give you the XYGTHO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ8x-WN23hQ&feature=related

I've yet to weigh them but a bare 6.5 x 14" Bundt seems very light in comparison to later alloy wheels. So I'm now wondering if putting later wheels on a early car may significantly increase unsprung weight which would adversely affecting handling where bumps would become more noticable. Worse...

The April issue of Wheels lists the 6.3 as 24th in the top 25 Greatest Muscle Cars of all Time!!! :cool::D

The standard MB steering wheel is rather huge (and most have deteriorated by now), but if it's replaced with a smaller unit, suddenly you can't see the instuments. I had the idea of replacing the column with a W126 unit, thinking they might've been adjustable (it's been that long I couldn't...

I found an enthusiast today who's been into MBs for many years. Turns out he's a member of MBCV and lives in the Cranborne area. He had a huge collection of sorted parts and there must've been 30-40 Mercs in various states. There were several W116s, W126s, a 600 and a rusty W107 plus many...

I think I posted something similar before, but I searched n searched.... http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires_101/tire_care_and_safety/match_mounting/ Basically the yellow dot aligns with the valve... :)

Well I don't like the wheels, but everything else is ace!!!!! :D:cool::D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250977753053?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

This ones in Victoria and the bids (from 14 individuals) are heading up already. The interior's not too bad and I'd say it's a D-Jet with no pollution gear. Gotta love that old-style radio!! :cool::D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230757382809?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Over the last few days I've been toying with different wheels to see what fits and what looks the best. And one thing struck me that I bet many prople haven't considered; tyre sidewall flex!!!! Yes it may be that your chosen wheel / tyre combination will fit from a static point-of-view but out...

Here's a couple of pics of the disconnected (seized) airpump on Red Bull. I'll be pulling it off and stripping it down to see why it's seized and if it can be repaired.... The battery and tray have been removed to gain access. More pics to follow (but it's a low priority at the moment).

I assume this is the bolt in question? If it was me, I'd clean the area, remove the hose and then try tac welding the nut in place... Or try a tiny metal (probably fabricated) wedge.

Funny how things just happen.... Whilst buying my new(er) wheels I came across this W129 in the very same street and in THAT elusive colour (built in April 1992)! By chance the owner came out as I was leaving and we had a short chat. Seems like there wasn't many brought into the country. I...

Well I tried, but missed out on these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170788317557?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Now what's interesting is not the number of bids, but the number of bidders; 10 to be exact. Being they wouldn't suit another car, am I correct in assuming there's...

Well these would look good with some different centre caps. The polishing's been done to a very high standard. Seems like Poland is a good source of hot looking wheels, but postage would be a problem and makes them less attractive...

With all the driving I've been doing lately I've discovered that Deep Blue runs best with an ambient temperature around 19deg c. Higher or lower and the difference is quite noticeable.... I'd imagine it would vary depending on the vehicle and induction system. Any thoughts, or experiences??

WOW I had a look at this one and it was very sad: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280830216664?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Rust in most doors, and the LPG tank was outta date. Lots of noises from the engine and the owner hadn't even checked the oil! It sounds like a...

I hope I don't need one at this price: :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180826209740?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

And the dust boot's missing.... seriously??? :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180826204596?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
