  1. Its a Focus, it was at OSU in the Fall lol. Good call on the W100 doc, I'll have to dig up the link of clarksons from top gear. Him and James may compare their last service bills (may has a Bentley) I think it was under a thousand pounds for the Bentley and 50,000+ pounds on the Grosser.
  2. Alright, well lets do it. This is a crock of shit, and you are right, the facebook page does show that people are aware, and pissed.
  3. So... what can we do to protest the law. Seriously. And a fucking facebook page has yet to change a law.
  4. I was going to say W124 Mercedes lol.
  5. Hammering on a socket is the trick I have always used.
  6. I'm a Mercedes Diesel guy, 5cyl diesels are right in the middle. I have the "OM603" Inline-6 diesel which only came in the E-Class for one year. It was the most powerful diesel they put in the W124. The later cars had a 5cyl, it is slightly slower but does better on fuel. Several of my friends have the "OM602" 5cyl cars, my car runs away on the highway (19+HP 22+TQ) but they'll go a little further, about 1-3mpg better.
  7. Very cool looking car, something about inline 5s is cool to me.
  8. LaCrosse or Fusion nothing imported is good that cheap.
  9. He doesn't race, I meant he could help you talk to the people you need to talk to in Toledo.
  10. For the right price I could probably get you something out of Billy of Stephen, been a slow couple of years. LMK.
  11. Tentatively in. A4 will probably be gone by then. 300D or 280CE.
  12. 5 years of problem free operation. Your own testimonial should be the answer to your question. If Redline diff oil has worked that well for that long in an M3, I wouldn't try to reverse engineer opinions off of like the Honda forum. I've used redline oil in diffs and never had problems.
  13. Zipline on here is a big Toledo guy, Toledo Tuners is very active as is Toledo Mustangs. They are about two hours away, you may be able to get them. PM Zipline.
  14. Looks pretty damn nice to me. Its local, go drive it before you buy it.
  15. Your friend is wrong. Open your owners manual, it will tell where they think the optimal shifts are. Even my automatic mercedes has a chart that plots shift speeds based on throttle position.
  16. I've got a Baldwin 127F "Fun Machine" electric organ for sale. It sits in the office at the shop and it needs to go. It worked when it was last in the house. If someone comes to see I can hook it up to make sure it works correctly. I've got the padded bench to go with it. $200 Not quite sure what a 30 year old electric organ is worth. It is a Baldwin so its not junk. Yes this is on CL. I know an Organ is kind of wild for a car forum, but hey we all have weird stuff taking up space in the garage. I can deliver for gas money.
  17. If its bad for your car my car is fucked. What is the argument for that being bad for the trans? The Mercedes diesel guys shoot to keep their rpms under 3k all the time for mpg. Its kind of hard to tell you where the optimal shift point is not knowing the car. Different cars are efficient at different points and you have different gears to help the motor at times. Keeping your car in top gear at no revs isn't necessarily what you want. My car will move up a hill at 700 rpms in 5th at WOT lugging the shit out of it. Is that better for mpg than using a lower gear? Doubtful. Net effect, shifting bad for the trans? In my opinion no. Where to shift for mpg, what was the SAT answer - "not enough information"
  18. Its worth less than $50, I'll tell Fedex or UPS what it is, if they say it isn't shipping I'll get over it. Thanks for the replies guys! If you need a Mercedes W124 air bag let me know.
  19. This is stupid but I figured I'd ask so I don't wind up on a watch list . Is it legal/safe to ship an air bag? I have a Mercedes air bag I was thinking about selling on ebay and wanted to make sure I could ship it.
  20. This is the internet, everyone's business is your business and yours to dissect and criticize.
  21. Sounds like 91+ is the truck to have. Did they make a manual? They did a "sport" with a 350 and a 5speed right?
