something wrong with the car...... it never shift at 6000k...... and it pick up the speed very slow..... :( A healthy 500 will pick up the speed faster than that..... if you watch it carefully, look at how long it take to reach 100mph or 160km/h.....

It seems to be a real one.
Anyone dare to repeat?

Would you be kind to respect other people opinions and move you picture to the left, where it is belongs.
I do respect other people opinions....... people told me to resize...... so I did resize it...... Now what the problem......:confused:

It looks to me like the 500 is hitting the limiter at 260+. No, not the rev limiter, the 250km/h limiter! :)
On my -94 the rev limiter comes on at about 6250 rpm and we have a thread here somewhere where a few members claim that the 500 would do about 276km/h true when the 250km/h (155mph) limiter is removed..

PS Brabus DID respond to requests and DID resize his pic a while back allready (thanks Brabus) and it would be nice if we could all live in peace and respect here...

How can one tell if the limiter has been removed other than trying to take the car off the clock? :)

SL-BRABUS did resize his sig.
Even so it was still annoying when he posted into every other reply.

SL-BRABUS if you want to use it for an avatar save and upload this graphic.

I also think that it is your racist generalization ie:" Asians people don't care what model they drive or ride.... As long as there is a STAR on the hood or grille.... ", and the fact that the graphic is OFF TOPIC as it is not an R129, that also offends. I should have known that a jerk like that would then stoop to language like " go fix your fu*k up fuel injectors..". just proves he is a moron and can't understand what this board is about. Only an idiot would have posted the LARGE, bandwidth hungry, off topic and racist generalization in the first place.

Normal person + Anonymity + Audience (often) = Total Wanker

Just to echo the sentiments of FLC2006.

The odd little spat is quite harmless, but not when it degenerates into a mud slinging free for all.

SL-Brabus has now complied and completely removed the offending graphic and we thank him for doing that.
I think a moderator would have only removed the sig. if a complaint were to be received, however it looks like we are all grown up enough to police our own little section of this wonderful board, and common sense has prevailed.

I would suggest that SL-Brabus and edutain1 just forget about any harsh words or language used, and for the good of this forum, put it behind them.

It is an International forum and quite often English is not the first language of the poster. It's fun enough with just the difference between US and UK English, so we have to be more tolerant toward our members that may find expressing themselves difficult.

On the whole the forum runs itself very well, it would however be an advantage if each particular forum of the board had it's own moderator if not only for merging duplicate topics :D


OK back on topic; How do I find out if my speed limiter has been disabled, apart from trying to get up to 260Kph?

I think if your car is stock, then the speed limiter is not disabled...... unless you heading down hill, you might be able to hit 162mph = 260kph......:eek:

Yes thanks, injectors fine now, ran some Nulon injector cleaner suggested by Pace Motors West Perth Mechanical Repairs and Servicing for BMW, VW, Audi, Mercedes Benz and Volvo , still a little rough until warm but much better and can put up with it.

PS This is the R129 SL Class board so the R107 is off topic, but I did enjoy seeing it.......once!
good to heard that your fuel injector is fixed....... edutain1 I am cool with you.... so let be friend..:) ... ?? And I just want to let you know I do respect your opinions too..... :thumbsup:

That's why I'm asking, how can one tell if the limiter has been disabled
Oh, ok...... the other way you could tell is you have to take your car to dyno...... when you dyno your car it will tell you your horsepower, torque, topspeed, etc.....

I agree with Erik ,this site is is for enthusiasts of the car we love ...let us respect each other .I for one find it very sad when I see the sort of language being used as we have seen in this tread ....we are gentleman let our behaviour reflect that .
