RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - casioqv - 02-07-2011
Can't you just get the W126 spare from the same car you pulled the brakes from?
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-07-2011
Wrong offset.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-08-2011
I would have to carry a few spacers and longer lug bolts to use one off the 126.
So after smashing on the new brakes up in the mountains the biggest thing I noticed is that they don't fade as near as easy. I actually didn't get them to fade once in the same area that I got the stockers to fade out easy. I did smell them but they did not fade.
My friends wagon and his dads wagon at a game of frisbee golf today.

(02-07-2011, 08:30 PM)winmutt LMK what your plan for a spare is.AAA. Both my cars have batteries in the spare tire well. I keep a 15" spare at home so if I get a flat its either simple tow home or, if I'm local, a bus ride home.
Quote:Wrong offset.No they aren't. I've used 15" wheels from a 560SEL for years.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - ID240D - 02-08-2011
Cool picture with the two wagons!
BTW thanks for keeping us posted on all the upgrades to the car you've done alot of work to it.

Yes, they will fit.
BTW - A few months ago there were a couple of Lorinser just like yours at my local yard. One front and one rear. Thought about grabbing them, but I didn't. I wonder if they are still there, I stuff them in a recent arrival's back seat.

I see words but I cannot read them because of that awesome sig pic....
Must have been a newer rim I tried at the jy then.
I still haven't figured out what my rims actually are yet. They look like lorinser rims but they aren't lol.

RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-24-2011
Thanks. I need to clean the euros up and try to find some new glass but one is in.

Awwww The Euros look much better!
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - garage - 02-24-2011
Oh hell yeah those look alot better!!
You cant just clean the glass? Its too dirty to clean?
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-24-2011
Well the reflectors are shot (chrome backing is gone) and the lenses are pitted like crazy. I'm going to run them like they are but id like to get some new glass.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - garage - 02-24-2011
Ahh i see i see, yeah i never looked at them too closely.
Still looks much better though
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - Captain America - 02-25-2011
Is right! If I cover the passenger headlight with my hand she looks Evil! 
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-25-2011
Ill take a pic of it all converted tomorrow at work for ya'll. i put them in tonight when i was still at the shop.. Hid conversion coming soon too. its kinda cool and odd with the fog lights on the outsides.

RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - willbhere4u - 02-25-2011
looks a lot better the lenses are on eBay for not to much here and there!
on the w123 I got the euros brand new after market for $150 shipped
and installed 6k hids for low beams and 10k hids in the fog lights for my highs and rewired it so they work together!
I miss my w116 it was a great looking car! I want one with euro bumpers lights and a 606 with a five speed
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-25-2011
I would like to get the reflectors redone somehow. Ill mexichrome them for now.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - garage - 02-25-2011
Looks meeeaaaannnnnnnnn
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - Captain America - 02-25-2011
Yeah that looks a million times better! A totally different car...
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - Biohazard - 02-25-2011
That first pic with the new lights, the car looks so pissed off! I love it!!
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-25-2011
It does look angry lol. Car has come a long way in a short time. I'm hesitant to put the bigger elements in as more stuff will start to break. As it sits it's a great driver. Just enough power to no be super slow and enough to have fun in the twistys.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - garage - 02-26-2011
Haha its just my luck that i give you these lights, then a few days later i buy a w116, haha shiiit.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dude99 - 02-26-2011
There was someone on one of the forums ( I can't remember which) that took his lights apart, cleaned and then used chrome spray-paint of the reflectors. It worked really well. Actually brighter than the the good light he had....
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 02-27-2011
It's snowing in southern California!!!

Was 28 at my house Saturday night. The Benz started perfectly
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-05-2011
I think mine needs 2 glowplugs. It starts a little rough and smooths out after few seconds. I got a flashing glowplug light once too.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-05-2011
Oh while I was banned I redid the reflectors in my headlights and had to cut the belt on my a/c compressor since it decided to start to sieze up and smoke the clutch on the compressor.

How did you redo the reflectors?
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-07-2011
Chrome spray paint aka mexichrome. Hit them with a soft scotchbrite pad first then a few coats of the paint.

Then you can get some yellow tint paint and make French Euros.

RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - Captain America - 03-07-2011
My cars stumble a lot less on cold startup after I removed the ALDA.
Also I let the wait about 15 seconds after the glowplug light turns off and she starts much better with no stumble...

It doesn't xlimodriver was the first to do it, and he reported "good" results, so I did it on a extra euro and it's utter shit. If you cant locate a good set of reflectors, use ace hardware HVAC aluminum tape. Works much much much much much much better.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-10-2011
Hmm^. I might try that.
But the lighting is fine IMO. It will be better once I get hids in them.
Oh and differential #2 just started making noise. The same noise as the last one. WTF. I'm going to weld the cross pin to the carrier and rock it till I get another diff. Hopefully a 2.88.

You need to stop using the 1.1 liter diffs and get the gasser V8 1.3 liter diffs. Much stronger. Unfortunately there are no 2.88 in the bigger case that fits your car. 3.07/3.06, 2.65, and 2.47.

RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-10-2011
265 will be fine.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - DeliveryValve - 03-10-2011
(03-10-2011, 05:26 PM)dieselboy 265 will be fine.
...... That is if you can find one. Pretty much a rare diff and comes with an LSD carrier.

RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-10-2011
I got mine welded up a I'm doing a trip.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-11-2011
Alright just drove 185 miles averaging 75mph and the diff is fine now after I welded the pin to the carrier. I used 1/4 tank of fuel and if I do the math it's around 34mpg not bad for that speed.
RE: Jesse's hy35 powered w116 - dieselboy - 03-12-2011
Well put another 200 mi on it and it started to make noise again. So this time I welded it all. Spider gears were shot so I just welded the diff.
I also added my aux tank from the 240d
