Yeah the screens seem like an after thought but even new BMWs similar jus pokin out the top of the dash..

Love the S probably why I like the new c it's a compressed version almost and the headlights / taillights big step up to me

yeah when i was at the Mercedes dealership the screens were the thing which made me question the interior..

if it had been integrated into the dash more, even have it slide up or something it would be perfect!

That's the new trend with screens not sure why.. Integrated is way nicer although perhaps a benefit is if they stuff up replacement / repair would have to be significantly less.

I don't like it but can't say it bothered me when I was in the a45 amg

I would think that an integrated screen which is well designed could be replaced cheaper...

If the screen, or the control unit, stuffs up... Remove the dash surround (2 mins), unscrew screen, remove plug from back of it and put in new screen (or control unit)

An external screen is more complicated / expensive to make, as it's got its own facia/bezel/surround/mounts... Might be able to be swapped over a few minutes faster, but you'd have to replace the whole unit instead of just the screen itself.

Looks much better in the dash tbh... And I'd imagine up where it is in that pic it would get a lot of sun glare.

I am glad car companies are going for higher mounted displays though, looking away from the road is never a good thing.

does car even need a screen?

Sat Nav, Reverse Parking Camera, etc, etc... They're all "must have" features these days. In the performance models, I'd hope that there would be other cool things shown like on a GTR, temperatures, warnings etc. But that said... looks like in the pic shown there's another LCD display between the gauges in the cluster anyway.

Don't know if it's already been mentioned but you can all permanently remove your rego stickers from today :)

Wooooooooot!!! No more hideous colours making things look blergh :D

forgot about this, yay

still struggling to get my windscreen free from massive streaks at sunset, anyone recommend a good window cleaner? the stuff I have at home is awesome for bathroom mirror, but just does not like the car.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
