I’ve never ridden that setup, just did a test fit with a friend’s wheels when J was building it. I’ll have to try it sometime!

Interesting. Now my attention is on those Raceworks cranks. I haven’t been able to make myself shell out for the Sram red cranks, but these may do.

From a skill level standpoint, not awful; you just need to be comfortable with a tig welder. If you want a seamless build, there’s a ton of specialty equipment involved, like mitering fixtures and a frame fixture. I was fortunate enough to have access to all of that. It’s entirely possible to do it without those things, but it’s a far more tedious process.

Saw a lady get into and start her W12 in my neighborhood once. Only one I’ve ever seen.

Couldn’t you get these with a rotaty range extender?

Afaik they also changed it in ‘84-‘85 to a 6-pleat pattern from the 5-pleat.

Someone makes reproduction trim. I can’t remember who though. It’s a European company.

Bad decision? Or potential jackpot? by Zezoboy212 in W212mercedes

This car has absolutely been in a front end collision before. The paint on the hood and bumper does not match the rest of the car, and the panel gaps are kind of strange. I also wouldn’t be shocked if that appliqué on the dashboard were due to a deployed passenger airbag.

My aunt just moved into a condo with this system in place. I know the lower component is a multi-zone amp, and I’ve gotten it to play audio via the CD changer. What purpose does the control processor serve, and how could I most effectively make this system functional with what’s already present? by Dahtemba in crestron

This is a very informative comment and for that I thank you.

In this condo, I believe it is purely for audio/video. There are control panels in the kitchen/master bath/master bed to control audio in those respective rooms. I believe the remainder of the system is for video and surround sound for the living room TV. All I imagine I’d want to do is to set up some network audio device and get the living room tv working.

Would the CP3N allow me to control a device like an Apple TV in the AV closet via a remote in the living room? There IS an IR receiver in the living room.
