I need to know what people are willing to spend on headers for your E's. I've been looking into manufacturing these for either just myself or a full blown production run. This week I'll decide whether or not to start building a assembly jig or just one set. I've met with a machine shop and now I'm...

Hello Ecstasy board! Glad I joined, and as always thanks to those responding! It is much more comforting going into a repair sounding like I know m My 1992 m119 400e w/158,000 has trouble starting approx every 5-10 attempts. The symptom is that it turns over, but fails to start sometimes...
Anybody up for this? The next street legal drags are Nov. 1 and 2 at Fontana Calif. Speedway. http://www.autoclubspeedway.com/dragway/ That's just barely more than a month away. It's a good time to do it because the heat of summer is gone but the rains and cold aren't normally here yet. I, for...

Followers of the "fuel" thread know I had a guy who was committed to selling me An EZL unit from an early 93 5.0 S class for $55.

Hi, a long time since I posted ( family tragedy ) one half year back, I was considdering selling my beloved 500E and the AMG E60 engine and the other MB's aswell. Totally lack of interest at that point but reading forums esp. this one has made me rethink and grow more and more of my former...
When should it come on? I think I have a bad level sensor. Two days ago after returning from vacation I noticed a small amount of oil on the garage floor under the 500E. I checked the dipstick and :buggin: - no oil showing on the stick!! WTF? There was maybe a 1/4 cup on the floor at most,...
