I finally decided to get my 97 SL500 back into condition. Sat a year but started after a new battery fine. Needs Suspension work however and the parts are crazy priced
Check out Summit Fairings. They're 1/2 the price as Monster for literally identical quality, likely even made in the same factory / ABS Injection molds in China, and they do custom paint schemes for free. I fully restored a stunted 05 636 with an all black Summit kit and they've held up great over the 7 years since install. I also did a ceramic paint coating treatment and maintain it during washes with Griots Garage Ceramic products. DM me if you want some pics of the fairings installed. Idk if I can post Imgur links here.
Sweet bike. Ive got a titanium silver colored 05 636. I got it at 11k and now im at around 22k miles. I need to do my first valve clearance check and ive been procrastinating 😅. Supposed to check them around 15k to 20. This is my second ninja, there great bikes and run forever if you take care of them. I personally think 05 and 06 were the best 636's ever made as far as power and suspension, a nice riding oem bike or with some upgrades. Then ofcourse they have a timeless great look.
Ignat BK, the love for your R129 is apparent. Sweet ride. You might want to look into purchasing CD’s WIS/ASRA in EBAY 9-20$. Install in a dedicated computer . If you really want to learn and repair , you’ll need to purchase a Dell 630 laptop, upgrade the ram, a Multiplexer along with XENTRY MB Star Diagnostic HHT/WIN software on a ssd drive or purchase the whole enchilada at once. This will help you tremendously on locating parts, remove and replace. I drive a 1998 Sport package R129. Best of luck to you, take care.
Prefer the AMG sound and please let me know where you got that AMG muffler. Is it OEM or from an other supplier? Just going after an SL 500 these days but standard sound boring.
Łatwiej zrobić to na sterowniku pin 5 i 7. Nowy komoresor po zatartym bez płukania układu? 😂Powodzenia. Gwarancja do bramy potem się nie znamy. 🤣🤣Test szczelności wakum? Gdzie azot lub mieszanina? 😂😂 Dramat.
Hallo Hatte SRS Störung an einem R129 Bj.1998. Letztlich war es der Sicherheitsgurt-Straffer am Beifahrersitz. Kostet bei MB Händler 1.800 Euro inclusive 19 %Mehrwertsteuer. Gruß aus Germann
Im trying to get this car because im tired of trying to get cars that the internet talks about. You'll never get a good deal on cars if a big youtuber starts talking about it. I want this thing before people realize how cool it actually is.
I swear it’s like looking at my very own ride. Nice job, your paint job is an inspiration. I need to download that trap beat and post a video of my ride also. Cosmetic changes to the vehicle are one thing but the maintenance and upkeep is truly another, trust me, I know .😂🤗 “Subscribed”
What a beautiful job! You’re truly an inspiration. My black 98 SL500 AMG looks pretty nice-but this is what I’m really after. Great job once again, thank you for posting your video.
I have oil pissing out of the small radiator just in front of the left front wheel. The AC has not worked in over 15 years of ownership. Is this dangerous? Thank you.
i missed something... Lug bolts loosened automatically? You are running Ball Seat Lug bolts on the aftermarket wheels? As i know majority of Aftermarket MB wheels are supposed to work with Cone Seat Lug bolts...
Yes these wheels are ball seat. I think the loosening had to do with my welded diff and rough driving. Also I never double checked them on occasion. Hopefully they won’t back out anymore 👍🏼
