W124 OM606 STD in California
Some small update for you guys. Got my damaged EGT gauge replaced by the vendor i purchased it from which is awesome. And they sent an extra EGT probe and wiring which will be good to have as a spare.
Cut up the foam in my dashboard to fit a glovebox - my car was originally equipped with a passenger airbag.
I just need to trim the vinyl and then glue it back down. It wasnt a terrible process but you need a steady hand and patience to take out the foam and make it nice and even.
Got an awesome shirt in the mail from Blip shift
Found the holy grail of LSD for high tq/hp german cars. Its from a 750li BMW - the v12. Factory LSD with 37% lock, and 3.15 gears, perfect for the diesel merc! This thing was a beast, 105lbs it weighs, should be very hard to break.
Just a quick pic of the W124 and my miata in the driveway
I also decided against using the american T56 as the cost is very high and the gearboxes are still somewhat "weak" for the torque the 606 puts down. Instead i talked with Fred at F-tune Performance and he is getting a 53DZ gearbox ready for me so i will have the best ZF gearbox for my build!
