[MBZ] Continental or Vredstein? Or maybe General
Looking at tires for the 210, I think I have narrowed it down to the Continental Contiprocontact, or the Vredstein Hitrac. Depending on the source both are around the same price but on Tirerack the Vredstein seem to have higher ratings. Also considering the Altimax from General. Anybody have any experience with any of these? ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Amaaaazin
Actually, I do. I've been in almost every major Federal prison in the USA, before the age of 18.. Got a personal tour given by the wardens, in each one. Part of every tour was a viewing of all the captured contraband taken from the folks who lived there, some for life, after they had used the contraband weapons. There is, as Paul Harvey used to say, "The rest of the story" but that will cost you good single malt adult beverage.

If I had to pull the CVT, I'd be wishing for clutch, gearshift and manny trans assemblies, but where would I source the whole kit, complete with a new transmission mount and maybe new halfshafts? I'd want to make some friends in the JDM community including a good English speaking vendor in Japan before buying such a car. It seems like you could drive a 70hp 1900lb car pretty hard on US roads, and that might be harsh treatment for a 30 year old CVT. Looks like the bottom end US model in 1993 was a 1.6L Sentra with 4sp auto trans. Trying to convert a JDM March to a LHD Sentra 5sp manual is probably beyond reason. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] OT: An Odd One
Not to mention the 60 year old Jag looks work better with full moon hubcaps than with 1990s alloy wheels. But like Floyd said, whatcha gonna do when the CVT kacks? And like Floyd's friend, what are the odds somebody decided to sell it cheap because the CVT was showing occasional signs of impending doom?

Re: [MBZ] OT: An Odd One
I agree with both of you. It’s a cool looking car, but the interior is a bit of a disappointment. That being said, it’s a hellofadeal for the price considering it’s a JDM car.

Re: [MBZ] OT: An Odd One
But for a low mileage nice condition JDM car at under $5k? And it's a fairly nice car, not a 600cc Kei Car. If you want a 25 year old Kei truck with a USA title, $5k gets you a neglected POS.
