    BTW, i have a 05 E55 motor (compressor) and transmission for sale. Car was burned so you'll need to do some rehab on the motor. Help me spread the word as I'm not able to post in the classifieds yet. Thanks in advance.

    knvs -- doubt this as who usually keeps broke stuff around but can't hurt ta ask -- do you happen to have the old/broke exhaust manifolds? ...or know if Norm has 'em? I need'm. I'll give ya a couple of buks and pay for shipping if so. (need'm for the custom header fabricator)

    Lemme know. thanx.

    Steve, I didn't keep the old manifold. I'll talk to norm and see if he still has it. I think he might.

    Post spinning

    for me when i want to go sideways is i turn the car to the left or to the right real quick ( while shifting it down one gear to 3) then turn the wheel the other way.. i can go on like that for a short time but not to long.. i have a c220 and there is no one off switch for the traction control..wish there was.. will make winter driving a better experience. but i usually like to drift around street corners.. easier done in the rain or snow.. ..

    Thanx so much for checking ... I'm contacting him. So did he give you a date when he'll fix your valve cover gasket leak while you had his attention...

    well they've been working on it and they can't seem to locate it... It's getting really fustrating and it's making it easier for me to get rid of the car. I really hoping to get it back this weekend if not it better be next week. Its going on 3 weeks already. I've barely driven the car since the conversion.:dpress:

    Sometimes they leak somewhere below in the area of the oil filter and pump housing!
