I really havent been driving the honda until recently.I get 100 more miles per tank in the honda and she uses regular gas
I love the benz but she not the best car for a broke person..I might keep the benz if I dont get a decent price.But I wont be driving her until my situation gets better.

Well, What is it with this car?! I cant seem to get rid of it....Some guy stops the bid with my buy it now price.I had a 24hr deposit requirment at the end of the auction.He bought the car on saturday and I havent heard a peep from the guy no deposit no nothing.Im getting charged everytime I relist the car.
I just sent him a email telling him that I require a deposit to hold the car.I also stated that if he didnt want this car that he owes me $60 for my ebay listing price.

Indeed they shall, indeed they shall. Okay guys, brake times. My rotors are now 17 years old, and are beyond crap-tacular and unsafe. I am looking for replacements, and I have options. I cant do the SL500 Silver Arrow or C32 AMG brake, or even 500e brake upgrades, but I was wondering if some slotted/drilled/vented rotors with new ceramic compound pads would get my beastie braking well again. I looked around on ebay and tire-rack and have found these: Brembo, ATE performance, Power Slot, Zimmerman, and EBC. Anyone can give me a heads up? They are all in about the same price range-ish, if the more expensive are worth it, then I guess now is the best time. I NEED these rotors, my current ones slice through pads way too fast and dont brake conistantly or well. Help! PLEASE!

I run Brembo cross drills and have performance pads (brand name escapes me) replaced pads after 30,000km no warping on rotors...work great.

The only brembos I am finding are just vented. Also, some rotors say EXCLUDES 24V models. Why is that? Is that for real or is that some BS thing?

good question, I didn't know there was a difference in brakes for 24v models.

Mine does that too, as well as my speedo below 20-30mph. Its kinda fun really. I just smack the cluster, and it seems to right itself. Anyone can weigh in on my brakes concern?

Dude, call a real tuning shop, source the part number directly from brembo for your exact application then if they can't find a good price, shop it yourself.

As far as the gas gauge, the gauge itself can go bad. I have to smack mine so it doesn't read empty.


However,

New gauge = expensive

b!tch slapping your old gauge = free
