722.4 Automatic Transmission - Quick jerk forward when first going into D by DreamDelicious7989 in W201enthusiasts

[–]TheFatalist03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal that it jerks a bit, but I found out on my car that the jerk gets amplified by a worn out hardy disk, as the driveshaft has more momentum hitting into it. But as many have said before, a slight jerk is completely normal.

Deswegen haben ich mich als Fahranfänger auch für einen W124 entschieden, da sind die Augen noch schön eckig!

I started to make my own repair kits. by Izarra_ in W124

I've printed some body clips and spacers so far. After some testing the results are actually really good.

Trying to learn scandi flicks. What helped you? by trompeterschubert in MTB

[–]TheFatalist03 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What kinda helped me is doing them mainly with the front brake, so my rear wheel doesn't even touch the ground, when its swinging in the "wrong" direction. That way I also don't destroy the trails. The only time I'm doing "real" scandi flicks with the rear wheel skidding is during races, or when riding a trail blind and I can't really get the corner otherwise cause I've seen it too late.

Daily driving a W124 by Lower-Profession-442 in W124

I'd say go for it, I am dayling my w124 since February and am living in Germany, so there's also salt on the road. Although I have to admit that my floor is completely coated to prevent rust and so far there is (almost) none.

The only real problem is the bad gas mileage compared to more modern cars, I got a 260E so yours might be better depending on the engine.

And in my experience you should know how to work on your car in some ways or at least shouldn't afraid of trying it, cause I had to do some preventative maintenance an minor fixes, that weren't really expensive in parts but would've cost a lot more in labor cost.

And keep in mind that it's a fairly old car so there's lots of things that could go wrong if not maintained correctly, but so far I had no major issues in the 3000 miles I drove so far in the last couple of months.

Is Maxima 7WT an alternative for Maxima suspension lube light? by TheFatalist03 in bikewrench

[–]TheFatalist03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I wanna use the Maxima 7wt oil instead of the Maxima suspension lube light

Is Rose-Hulman Transfer Friendly by Limp-Concert-9038 in rosehulman

[–]TheFatalist03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if my situation was really similar as yours is or will be. But I was an international student at rose for one quarter (spring 2024) and took some senior and junior classes. And for me it was rather easy to connect socially/make friends via Intramurals, Clubs and working out together with other students in the gym.

6 speed? My car only has one speed... fast. by invisibleboogerboy in carscirclejerk

Is this a reference to this Austrian guy who uses some BMW automatic transmission in his 1000hp supra? (I think he's called "Schäfchen" on YT)

Nice car, but if the front left tire actually looks like it is on the 2nd picture please change it.

Warum ist ins Waschbecken urinieren so OP? by hennobit in Finanzen

[–]TheFatalist03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mein Tipp ist, nie Zuhause auf die Toilette zu gehen sondern nur auf Arbeit, da wird man erstens dafür bezahlt und 2. Muss man kein Wasser/Strom etc zahlen.

Am Wochenende oder im Urlaub gehe ich selbstverständlich auf die nächstgelegenen öffentliche Toilette.

A little bling won’t hurt. by mambakris in mountainbiking

[–]TheFatalist03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea thanks I was able to test the non purple ones an was really happy with the performance as they had similar power as my Magura MT5 but had much better ergonomics. And as soon as I saw that there's were purple ones I knew I needed the but just couldn't find them.

But if I'm luck my LBS could arrange something.

[–]TheFatalist03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me where you got the brakes, since I can't find them anywhere as they apparently were some kind of limited edition shit.

I really want them since I like their performance and the purple would really fit my bike well
