I do indeed, but may not have for much longer. Thinking of trading it in to build a Golf Rallye VR6T or a big-power Sport Quattro replica.
I'll wait for a sunny day, give her a wax and get some more pictures of her up (the CSL, that is)

StreekG, that is a pretty nice Merc considering that it's one of the older models. Nice rims, they go well with it ;)

Well Im getting a new car monday hopefully as mine has died quite spectaculary(sp)involves a nice neck and neck with a 200sx and the cambelt suddenly releasing itself from the cam sprokets at 6500rpm resulting in 16 bent valves and some severly marked pistons :lol: i would normally just rebuild but so far its destroyed 2 heads and spun a bearing whilst attempting to race a skyline. so off to pick up an escort 1400 on monday hopefully, goin lower this time 40-60mm drop and got that 1750cc 9000rpm engine thatll bolt right in :twisted: or i could drop in an rsturbo engine ,chip it ,throw a decent cam in and up the boost a bit :D

Yes thats my philosophy if youre gonna break the engine break it properly, screaming at at least 6000rpm :lol: ,The 200sx i almost had the skyline was my mates and he overtook me so i thought id have a laugh and dropped it into third for a proper go :lol: , took the engine apart afterwards and the bottom end was a right mess, not only had it spun a bearing itd thrown a rod aswell lots of shrapnel and bits of small end everywhere :lol:

The following is a list of some of the upgrades; 993 TT Big Red Brake Kit, Bilstein Coil over suspension kit with 400# Springs in rear and 250# Springs in front. All plastic stone guards have been replaced, rear main seal was replaced, brand new clutch(dual friction hybrid), and slave cylinder.

Pretty darknight :lol: I know a guy who has one of those. They usually last a long time (I assume). His has nearly 100,000 miles on it.

Snake, do you mind if I ask what country you live in? Those pics seem like you're in Germany or somewhere of the likes.


As for my awsome vehichle, I drive a beat up 1998 Ford Explorer. A true road machine :lol: It has a small version V8 (4.7 I believe), and is falling apart around me. The electronics are giving out, and parts are starting to fall off. But if I can squeez about a year out of it, I am going to try and get one of the new 08 Dodge Challengers, or something interesting like that. Don't know.

Yippee! :D Finally installed my new cheap-ass monitor (which I bought on ebay a few weeks back). I must say, for the price I payed, it's actually quite good... and more importantly, it blends in with the interior.

Image Image
Now I just need to figure out how to fit it through the hole of the dash. Turns out it's too big by about 5mm’s #-o

It's an Eonon (wtf?) E0626... which all up cost me a wee bit over $300, including shipping. You should grab one yourself :lol:
I've already cut back some of the edges of the centre dash hole, but the unit still isn’t fitting. What's really annoying is that when you need to insert/eject a DVD, the screen flips out (downwards) which will require even more space. I've got some serious hacking to do :(
I’ll grab some pictures later on for advice. Don’t want to make it look shabby.

Btw, where’s your MR2?! 0_o (Unless I missed it on one of the previous pages :P)

Still no twosie for me :( I've got the money, I just can't find the right one. All the MR2s I've seen so far are either heavily modified, really high km's or automatic :cry: My time will come!
