Talking My Introduction

Hi, ohlord told me about this place in one of my threads from MBworld

i own a 98 E320 with 119k miles on it and going strong

some pics






safe to say that i love my car..thanks to this forum, my next service will include Shocks and struts replacement, a look at the harmonic balancer and the motor mounts

3 quick questions

are there any LSD's for the w210 that are affordable? I dont want to get diff welded though

What is the optimum operating temp? 80C?

How do you completely turn off traction control?

No

they are all expensive
Tstat is set to open full at 87c average temp is around that +or - a few c.
You can un plug it at your own risk and the warning lights that get triggeredBurn outs,drifting and dyno pulls are not the forte of the E320 and noting the demise of a former member of High esteemPlease refrain from trying such antics or you too could end up spun out and Recked like he did.Mod the car,make it look nice,take care of it.No 19's or 20's ,no kill stories,no
sprintbooster or under the hood cold air boxes.
OKAY,okay

I love the pics!

I love the pics! I don't know why but they made me laugh to myself. I expected to see Will Farrell behind the camera..."Yes darling you're a tiger!...shimmy that rear...rawr...yes I love it when you peek out from behind the trees."

Maybe it is that I haven't had my 5th cup of coffee yet, oh look something shiny!

Seriously though, welcome aboard! If you are a DIYer make sure you look up the 50% off coupon code for AllData and sign up for the free EPC subscription. Between those two I do not think there is anything an owner can not do with the right tools!

I see that you have a few inches of snow there. By your pic's I can't tell if those are winter tread tires or not. How do you find the traction with the rear wheel drive in the snow ?

i would never get 19's on the car..too big and ruin the handeling

The car will get mods mostly suspension wise, maybe rims in the spring

Hey, Tweel, welcome to the forum.

Black car in white snow makes for great shots!

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
