[diesel_mercedes] Re: Exhaust Manafold to down pipe connection question

 

Many Thanks.
No springs and no flex pipe, that's what I also.
I put springs on last weekend, I don't know if its me, but I think its louder than when it was loose, as there is no way it can be louder based on how loose it was. I am edging just being me being paranoid, but will do a check this weekend to see whats up.

Thanks again,
Steve

[diesel_mercedes] ONTARIO PAP TODAY

 

Two things interested me today:

1. There was a 1980 Yellow CD missing seats and a passenger front door, but otherwise nice looking.

2. There was a totally empty row in the Euro section, which means that in a day or two they will load 25 or 30 Euro cars in that row. I wonder if Google Earth will let me keep an eye on that row? I think I will give it a try.

Bobby,

The big tires don't seem to hit the wheel wells with the steering at the lock, but they may hit when the front suspension is bottomed out. I hear what sounds like a tire hitting the wheel well in a bump, but can't see any marks on the wheel wells.
