Yup. I wish I had a better understanding of scripts and tracking cookies and
such. I recently read this article on Google chrome. Quite an eye opener.

Yup, I’ve gotten back in the flow on the finnie. I won’t have the blog post up
tonight probably, but in a nutshell I replaced both rear swing arm bushings and
frame bushings (sort of like subframe mounts without a subframe - the big donut

The reinventthewheel people are whack jobs and I can’t even begin to imagine

I think it’s one of those “we think we have a gold mine and we want to share
the wealth” deals with their constant offers to sell interest in the company.

The way I see if there have been 2 major incidents that have destroyed
many a good old MB diesel. The first was the biodiesel craze and now
the craze of slamming cars to the ground and having exhaust pipes
sticking out of the hood.

The post about lowering cars is all I could take. I asked them why they insist
on destroying fine German cars but instead do it to a rice burner. I was then
told I as not in charge and that was a derogatory statement and I was muted for
24 hours, whatever the hell that means. I decided trying
OT because there are no Benzes running but lots of other things. The funniest
was an old CV cop car. There are some Miatas that are really quick.
Oops there’s an E class sedan out there now, did pretty well on time and was
smoking the tires.
I definitely gotta get the SL out there sometime.
I agree with the exception that the stepped bits are not much good either.
All the HF bit's I've bought have been trash. Same with the saw blades.

6oz sounds like system capacity, much of it in the condenser.
That said, if 6 is the spec I'd rather have 7oz and reduced performance than
5oz and reduced life.
You need to find the specs for individual component replacement, but if your
system was leaking, the components you don't change

The compressor has very little oil in it, about 10 or 20 ml.
The FSM has confused me. For an OM603 engine, procedure 83-525, new oil
capacity in AC Compressor is listed at 160 ml for r134 at the start of the
procedure, but than as you read through it looks like the section about
repair of AC
My top 25 mile average in the Cruzer is 64.1 mpg, might have hit 65 if I didn't
have to use the brakes for a yellow light as I rolled into town.
Then I turned around and went home, could barely manage 56mpg on the return
trip, so the 64 was the product of a tailwind. But nearly 60mpg round trip
Saw another one this morning, a guy replaced a blowed-up engine in a 123
he had bought, then he went on about how he was a diesel performance guy
and put on a big Cummins turbo and some other injection pump and some
other stuff.

I dunno about HF and anything that needs to be sharp. I bought a set of their
forstner bits and had to sharpen each one before use, fortunately a whizz wheel
in the Dremel does it quick.
That said their christmas tree (stepped) bits are really good, especially
considering the price.

Which reminds me, I've been watching the instant read mpg gauge on my Jetta

IIRC the 123 turbos get better fuel economy than the non-turbos which makes
