I haven't sat in either the M or the C63. I have been in the new 3 series and the MB C300 a couple of times and I found the MB's ride to be more unforgiving than any other car in my recent memory. I can't imagine anyone being able to drive the C63--which has to be stiffer--here in NYC.

that's good to hear. I talked to my audio shop guy and he recommended this exact set. I'm waiting on the Eclipse CD3200 HU to come in first.

I was stupid and didn't disconnect the battery when I tried installing my sylfex and now the CD player and the Sylfex doesn't work. It was definitely my own fault. I just figured if the car was off everything would be ok. I figure a low-midrange ipod compatible Alpine or Pionner HU really...

hmm. this interesting b/c i've never seen this before. i was just thinking about sound deadening my entire car. i'm going to have to go home and test what the sound diff is btwn 3k and 3.5k. i def. hate the engine's droning noise on the highway.

wow. that's an insane deal you got there. did you get it privately or through the dealer? I think whoever sold you the car must of not checked the KBB on the car. Otherwise, you have crazy negotiating skills. I got mine last Sept. for $9k out the door w/ about 67k on the car. 5spd w/...

i completely agree. I was reading the thread and this was the first thing i thought of. Definitely bring your uncle along and let him assess the car's condition. He can probably get a dollar estimate in his head of how much all the repair costs will add up to. you could then use that as...

if your interior lights and radio doesn't work then it's a fuse. since you didn't mention it, i doubt it's your problem. My remote, radio, and interior lights stopped working the other day. It just ended up being a blown 10A fuse. Reprogramming is very easy. Just do a quick search and...

I found this out yesterday at the Mazda dealer when i was getting my EGR valve replaced. The tire sidewalls tend to blow out easily (and the rims bend easily too). I bought my P5 (back in september) and two weeks later i noticed 2 of my tires were leaking air. The freaking used car dealer...

i wish i was under warranty. My car's got 71k miles. If i knew how to do it myself, and if i had a garage then i definitely would of done it. None of the 3 guys i knew who are/were mechanics had time or a garage. I guess winter's a great time for mechanics here in the east coast. Anyway...

well you better hope it's not the EGR valve needing replacement. Just dropped my car off at the dealer this morning. They diagnosed my rough idle as EGR valve needing replacement. $440 plus tax for the labor and parts. If i walk out w/ out doing the job, I'm still down close to $100 for the...

that sounds exactly like the symptoms i'm having. the local shop had it almost 2 weeks, and they gave up today. I had the EGR flow insufficient and random cylinder misfire. I was have trouble starting the car. If i step on the gas, the car's completely fine, but if it idles it almost stalls...

Just a FYI. I never could find that link to the 30k or 60k package on protegegarage, so I emailed Ken. This is what he said. "i actually never had it listed though i really should! here is what the kit consists of - waterpump, timing belt, oil filter, plugs and trans fluid (let me know...

Wow. that's an awesome write-up! I'm going to try that. haha. i still haven't figured out how to get it out. I accidentally bent the brackets out instead of in, and i'm having trouble getting them back in. It's a real pain. In my lexus, there's about 20 screws/bolts that you have to remove...

I totally forgot i created this thread. Yeah, it's a 2JZ-GE. It's the same as the non-turbo supra engine. A lot of potential. I don't know enough about engines (or have enough money) to take the dive with engine mods. I'm aiming to sell it for $9500. The car has just over 72k on it. It's a...

Great... I've just read about 5 threads just like this. My CEL came on . P030 and P0401. Random multiple cylinder misfire and EGR flow insufficient, respectively. I hope to god that I don't have to go through what some of the guys here have gone through.

I still have the car. 94 Lexus SC300. I got the protege while this car was in the shop (got rear-ended). I'm hoping to sell it once the weather gets a little warmer. I wish i could afford to keep both cars.

I've personally never used it, but almost everyone who's used it on the lexus forums (i have an SC300) swears by it. I was a little turned off by the amount of time it takes. I dont' really consider myself a detailing fanatic. Personally, i use Klasse AIO Polish and Meguiars NXT Wax. It...

From reading the Mazda 3 forums, Wayne Mazda is supposedly one of the best dealers in Jersey. I heard some good things about East Coast as well. I've personally never been to Wayne, but I've talked to them over the phone a few months back. They were offering me some great deals over the...

fyi. I checked the site today, and the basic aux is back in stock.

Ok. Well they were charging $100.00 a tire for the federals (w/ installations) and $90.00 a tire for the Kumho's. I didn't really consider $100.00 a bargain so i went w/ the Kumho's.
