No price competion on petrol in my town, all automatic gas station companies keeps the same price!
1 liter/Skr14.38 (Swedish kroner) is $$2.35
Fukk swedish government for petrol prices!!

I think you and me are quite the same in thinking when it comes to our cars feeling well in performance, it's more fun to spend money on our cars rather than waste money on crap!

The Octane rating for fuel in the US is 4-5 points lower for the same fuel compared to Europe.

So 93-94 octane fuel in the US is like 98 in EU..

I am not sure with the remaining blue stripe of the door panel. I would like to cover it with CFK but it is really difficult. Maybe I try to paint it with stainless steal style or Aluminium style. But I don't know if I will be satisfied with the painting result.
I am still working on some new parts (Alcantara and CFK) and others will be replaced or improved...

Regarding fuel quality in the US, did it always been made of high quality with high energy content for octane rating?

IIRC US gas has been poor before, maybe I'm being wrong?
Do you have 100 octane super unleaded?
Germans say: super blei frei bitte por favor.

The gas around my neck of the woods is 92-93 octane but you can always go buy some race fuel if you want to spend $8+/gallon

nice to see a different color on a C43 and not only silver cars.

what's with the funky licence plate place?

Do you have original MB Avantgarde grille from 2000 cars?

bought it for about 4-5 weeks ago, so yes it was on blocket.se
bought it for 48.000 SEK (7.000 USD?)

I have already changed the timing chain and changed all filters and oils, but as I said I work at a Mercedes workshop/dealership and selling spare part so that was no problem.

the grill was there when i bought it dont no if it is original..
the paint is 023 violet grey a designo paint
and the licence plate... just wanted somthing diffrent

how many KM's on your car?

is it normal to hear timing chain noise on m113 engines, maybe this only happens on high mileage cars?

is it a difficult job to swap chain and plastic guide rails in the engine?

license plate might block alot of cold air going through the front spoiler, think about it.

19800km so the price was right for me.

you always hear that a chain will last forever but on a m113 the chain is pretty long so it wears out faster than on a non V engine..
It sounded pretty bad in my ears but our diagnostic mechanic said that it will work just fine for about 10000km or more but I change it anyway.
better safe than sorry.

it's a pretty easy job if you know cars, I have access to WIS, had not done it otherwise. I tried to find shortcuts, but WIS was right the whole way. I'm not a top mechanic so someone else may know, easier way to change the chain.

I did not change the guide rails that is a huge job, you must remove the timing case, the cooler etc etc. .. but if you just change the chain and the Tensioner it is only the valve covers, rocker arms on the right side, alternator, then you split the old chain and connect the new with the old and then crank the engine around until the new chain comes up and then put it togheter. you must have special tools.

The Eisenmann muffler sounds like it blends the sound of a mustang and lambo. Down low it sounds like a mustang (crackling and raspy) up high it has the refined hum of a lambo... DEFINITELY a head turner

I can vouch and tell you that his car looks WAY better in person as he has the obsidian black paint and the pictures do not do the Rieger bumper justice.
Whats suspension set-up is he running??? And damn those looks like 19s... are they?

Cool, park sensors on d5vikast's car. Love the paint too, don't think we ever got that colour in North America (or the park sensor option either?).
