Is it ironic that my daily is a 96 C200 Benz with now 242kms and is 100% faultless?*

Only thing currently wrong is the battery in the remote locking died last night but I have two keys...

*Was owned by a MB mech for 12? years as the wife's car before I bought it...

Rough break with the Audi. I've looked at German cars longingly for years, but I think if I bought one it'd have to be an old one (mid '90s or earlier) so every time something broke I could say to myself "it's 20 years old, something was bound to fail..."

The euros are tempting, but out of factory warranty they are a bit of a gamble. You can get an extended factory warranty on most if the original hasn't lapsed and the car hasn't done too many ks. I faced a similar scenario last year but piked on the euro (S5) I was looking at and went for the Lexus (ISF). No issues to date.

things are bound to break once I start to wind some power into it anyway.

went for a cruise around sydney with these today, that skyline is surprisingly quick - and i would say the S4 will take the c63 once tuned

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
    • I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.
    • And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.
