I like the red interiors, even though this one needs lots of TLC! It is cheap and it's obviously been kept out of the weather... :) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-450-SLC-1979-/220985366928?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item3373c11990

In the unlikely event that you get left behind, you can be prepared for next time: :D:cool: http://ezinearticles.com/?Drag-Racing---The-Perfect-Launch&id=88867 and some (off the road) drag racing principals explained: http://www.nhra.com/nhra101/etracing.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

I can definitely recommend Ken Airs for changeover, reconditioning, or repairs to fuel distributors, warm up regs and injectors etc. From memory they can even supply Bosch parts (choke slides, fuel pumps etc) far cheaper than genuine items. You may need to supply the part number to ensure you...

With the discussion that started under the Red Bull thread, I thought I should create one on the subject that's been raised. Apparently grip vs width behaves in an inverse curve and I'm trying to determine the peak of the curve depending on weight and pressure.... This thread on another forum...

Not sure if he has carpets as well.... http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2420

I guess there's so many variables that it'd be hard to determine. In any case where you exceed the tyre's ability to get rid of the water, she'll do a Layne Beachley and off into the scrub you'll go!!! There's a formula in this thread, but I haven't digested it yet and worked out it's...

I've cleaned late-ish MB wheels recently (E320) and found the stick-on wheel weights to be extremely frustrating and time consuming to remove. The lead (?) weights are stuck on with foam which is coated with adhesive on both sides. The only way to remove the weights without wheel damage is by...

I now have da rims mate!!! :cool::D I bought 2 sets of genuine AMGs (not including the tyres)! Four 8x18" ET30. Two 8.5x18" ET 30, Two 9.5x18" ET33. I believe the wheels come from an W230 SL and maybe a CL?? So out of these I'll make a set of 8s and 8.5s and another of 8s and 9.5s. The...

Well we can't have you being the only one with a set!!! If I have to pull the engine in Red Bull due to oil leaks, I might just do it!!! :D

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!! :cool::D:cool::D Surely Michel didn't need to wear the helmet the WHOLE time???!!! ;):D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB_zQlVbxAQ

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... :)
