The 85 Mercedes 190E in driving is making me happy for the time being :D

Its some what different to my 32 although I can point out the positives.

From its soft suspension to its quiet engine, you feel as though your on clouds and I offen think the car has stalled because the engine is so quiet.

You don't feel any bumps and the 85kw's at the engine make it such a cruizy car.

I think they shouldnt be driven when you are tired as you will most likely fall asleep :)

geez, at least the guy was pretty sweet about it... Something similar happened to me not long ago, except these smart a$$es delibrately nudged the back of my wifes car 3times trying to push us through the intersection, till I felt the backend lift off the ground.. all because I switched lanes and got in front of them before the lights turned red (seriously did not cut them off, I don't drive like a fool especially with my baby in the car)... Well, the only thing I could think of was our baby boy in the back seat, my eyes rolled back and I saw death written on my hands with the names of whoever was in the car behind..

In the end 2guys begging for mercy and one in so much shock he fell asleep.

That story sucks! It just goes to show how many assholes there are out there with no consideration for anyone!

In my opinion the guy tried to push me out of the way so he could get away, lucky 1 is was stuck to his front and 2 i wasn't injured.

My St Christopher magnet was in my car at the time :D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
