Oh no whatever should I do? My chainsaw won't start. There's 2 stroke gas and bar oil in it. Guess I'll swing the axe for a bit.

 

Upgraded lol

 

I never have understood the E30 craze, I guess it must be a good platform somehow. But the body is just an ugly little brick, the drivetrain is weak so if you swap it you just break stuff that costs a lot to beef too and make fit in the tiny chassis.

 

Yup, around here too now. My guess cause they were cheap to buy so they got popular with teenagers, slamming them...... those stance guys or whatever.

 

Merc is a Euro thing cause they did't have Mercury, they had Ford so no confusion there. Unless you count Merkur. Which nobody does.

 

So what's next step? Check the FPR? How is it dumping that much fuel?
You already double checked the grounds right? I'mma kick you in the nutz (through the internets)if you haven't.

 

How many of us are thinking about just doing it regardless?

 

Guy in my auto tech school had one. They’re cool little cars for what they are, but I remember him struggling to find some electrical issues.

 

That's common across the board.

 

Yeah I wasn’t really surprised. Common issue with those cars.

 

We just say mercedes. Merc is mercury

 

My 99 turned 274k today, poor things never gonna die

 

It's called "no submarining"

 

Or German POS as another synonym

 

That's alot of POS cars since VW owns most of the European car manufacturers

 

They all get thrown in

 

Eh, I’ve only put 4K on it since August, “daily mod” for the win.



I’ve put 8k on the 02 in the same time period though.

 

Wait, Jamesboy flooded/submarined the truck again or it's just the engine that's flooding with fuel?

 

My buddy had one in college. It was a complete pile and only had 50k on the clock. None of the comfort features besides the blower worked anymore, the engine cooling system was always failing because of the over use of plastic in the cooling pipes that run around it. The trans ground every gear and eventually the clutch went out when he was on a hill in Seattle. Looked brand new though, but everything was broken on it and fixing any of it would cost more than the car.
