			<description><![CDATA[Anyone here rally there Benz? I know we have all seen kamel's picture of his airborne W123.<br />
I would think there might be more intrest of that kind of event within this community...or should i say following?<br />
<br />
I checked the SCCA website and im out of luck because they have no events in California for 2010.<br />
<br />
I ocasionally take my 240 out to old dirt/gravel roads, or atv trails and get sidways in the dirt, and hit the bumps maybe a little faster than i should.<br />
It seems like these cars can take everything you throw at them and then some more.<br />
<br />
Anyone else interested in this kind of fun?!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another Street legal day has just been added at A.C.D.!<br />
They were talking Saturday on the loudspeaker at the track that they've added another street legal day! February 28! Please note: this one is on a Sunday! Maybe a few more of us can come this time since we have a little more time to plan for it! Since this one still falls under the category of a relatively last minute add on, I expect it will be a low turn out day as well! And even if the turnout is a little greater than it was Saturday, it's alright because we'll have more time between runs for engine cool down! I could have used that! Let's hope a cold front blows through the day before!<br />
<br />
The last time I checked the track's website calender, the new date still wasn't showing. This is not the first time this has happened but I don't care to alert them cause I like a low turnout! <br />

			<description><![CDATA[I picked up a strong running 240D winter car for 200 bucks, best 200 I ever spent. I'm really glad I'm not using my TD for another winter - she's too nice for that.<br />
I decided to rallyX it for fun, it actually worked pretty well, definitely suprised some folks! The 4spd manual was a god send, as was that crazy suspension travel. The only problem I was having was on a couple runs where I was hitting this bump hard, catching some air - the throttle linkage would pop apart.<br />
I'm commuting 500 miles+ weekly, I have really fallen in love with 240D's, what a great commuter these are. This one is rusty, but I'll keep her around for another winter.<br />

We will be swapping engines with my current car as that was the purpose of the parts car. I have low compression on #3, #4, #5 and hard cold starts. Not a problem in a 24 hr race.<br />
<br />
What would you do with &#36;250?<br />
<br />
&#36;100 - Manual tranny setup. I have a manual transmission from pullapart I plan on donating. They have someone who can do the DS. I was thinking a 3.69 or 3.47 rear end might pep things up a bit.<br />
<br />
So thats a &#36;150 left. <br />
<br />
IC? Not sure if EGT is "safety" related.<br />
<br />
Things to do that dont cost money:<br />
Roll Cage.<br />
Strip interior and glass.<br />
Reinforce trunk..<br />
Change the tank setup to load fuel via med kit.<br />
Chop springs?<br />
Rack limiter is removed.<br />
<br />
Leave the resonator on and remove the muffler.]]></description>
