  • The first tour in 2005 was a dream!!!

    On Saturday it was already time, at 14 degrees and sun you just had to be on the bock. Berlin woke up “for the time being” from the hibernation and I was not the only one who wanted to get out. My tour went so about 6 hours across the city. It was the hammer how many maschine were on the way, and greeted with a good mood. After an hour my little one was full of driving and had good temperature so the highway with 220 KM/H was also no problem. Was still one of you on tour ? The bad thing today is it’s still warmer and no wind for it pure sun, but unfortunately you’re at work!

  • Colors GSX-R

    Moin Men!! Recently you have discussed the new colors of the 2005 models (GSX-R) .. so I find the colors of Suzuki become more and more idealess !! The blue-white can and wants to see so slowly no longer or wat?!?? Believe with a reasonable color you could make the GSX-R even more aggressive from outside…

  • How much PS have your Susis…???

    How much PS (performance) do your Suzis have? According to Fz note and/or after measurement on the test bench? I’m curious….or was there the thread already???

  • When did you go with Sozius?

    Want to know when you can take someone with you on the moped. I’ve promised she’ll be the first one I’ll take with you. Well, since I like her shcon, I’d like to know what tips there are or what you should consider. Don’t want us to lie down or something.

  • Contract law when buying a Suzuki GSX-R 750 K6

    Good day together, as already mentioned in another thread, the already enormous power difference from the 150 hp of the GSX-R 750 K6 and the real measured 133 (PS magazine) or 138 hp (MO magazine) indicated by the factory is annoying to me. Now I have learned in the vocational school, at the moment I learn the profession of the car mechatronics engineer, the week that a manufacturer, that must afford what he advertises, unless it is about joking advertising, e.g. Citroén C6 robot choreogr aphiewerbung. So Suzuki advertises 150 hp in our case, of which 12 and 17 hp were missing in performance measurements, which also exceeds the 5% measurement tolerance (8%)! Therefore, every GSX-R 750 K6 customer, with which more than 5% of the specified performance is missing, can demand twice repair at Suzuki, if not already after the first time, after the 3rd time the customer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract and get his money back ! What do you say about this??? Since the 3/4 liter was tested in several magazines with relatively equal power losses and not once only nearly got to the 150 Ps, one can speak of an objective judgment here! The performance was logically measured at the crankshaft and “not” as the one or the other would now object, on the rear wheel! Since there is a fixed standard in Germany when measuring engine performance, also the objection with a possibly SAE Ps specification (engine performance test without consumers, such as Lima, water pump etc…) Would be happy if someone could tell me something helpful about it!

  • Car mechatronics technician training in an “oldtimer workshop”

    Hello, I’m new here and would like to send many greetings to everyone from the forum area. I have a ’73 bug at home and am about to restore it, but that’s not my real concern. My question is whether you could give me tips or help. I’d like to start a car mechatronics training.I’ve already been to xPraktikumstellen, be it in a free workshop or at a dealer.I can’t think of anything more beautiful than screwing cars. Doc h unfortunately you can hardly “screw” in today’s workshops, mostly you have to carry out inspections, connect the diagnostic device and exchange parts, but this becomes very boring after a certain time, because you have to do almost nothing on the engine etc. but always the same problems occur again and again. That’s why I thought that I would do my training in an oldtimer workshop.The thing is that I find 1.no and 2. don’t know exactly if you later when you have learned the future. I know that you get everything you need for electronics in the vocational school and in courses, but is that enough? Does everyone have experience with it? Thank you for an answer! MfG: Bug

  • Mercedes W107 suddenly loses oil – Who in NRW can fix this?

    Good evening together! My W107 US makes me feel a little bit sick. I had a drop of dark oil under the car 4 weeks ago from time to time. I assume that it is motor oil. I then took a can of brake cleaner, a rag and a lot of patience and made the whole engine fat-free from below. I then drove a round about 40km and turned it off. He was standing now about 3 weeks due to the bad weather. Today I look under and then I had a f Leck in the dimension of incredible 30cm under the car. I was really scared. I lifted it up on the stage and looked at it. Can it unfortunately explain badly, hanging on the housing of a bell connection gear engine droplets. See picture, have drawn it in. Who can tell me what it could be? Do I have to worry about it? I live in the circle Soest, is here a real expert who could repair this to me? Lifting platform, beer and grill is of course Would I be happy if someone can help me. In the workshop, no one can help, old cars don’t know them anymore! Or is it possible that the brake cleaner has run out in large quantities and brought the paint with it? Have put a new cardboard under it now!

  • Dehumidifier for wintering the car – Recommendations?

    My youngtimer with season marks is standing in a barn in winter. Although it is quite dry, I used to have light mold formation inside. At some point I have provided the interior with large amounts of dehumidifiers and since then no mold was seen. I have used two different products and now I wonder which is the better one. One is Silica Orange, which is orange in dry condition and becomes white when saturated. The other s ind these room dehumidifiers, as you can buy them in the hardware store, so a bag with drying powder, which is placed on a pick-up dish. Now it is the case that the two bags from the hardware store have done all the work. Both containers were full of water, a total of certainly 4 to 5 liters. The silica gel has turned white, so was also saturated. Somehow, however, I cannot imagine that this silica gel is able to bind so much water permanently. Does anyone know how much water silica gel can absorb (in relation to its weight or volume)? Is it possible that the dehumidifier bags with a bowl are much more effective (and only have the disadvantage that they are not regenerable)?

  • Fluid film in front of Mike Sanders?

    Hello dear oldtimer community, although my vehicle is not yet, but I think my question is still best taken care of here! Actually the headline says everything. I plan to preserve all cavities with Mike Sanders fat next spring with my W210. Unfortunately I don’t know at the moment how strong the cavities are on or rusted. That’s why I came up with the idea to say that I only spray everything nicely with Fluid Film Liquid A, because this product is thanks to its wese I would then push the Mike Sanders layer on it. Do you think that makes sense? The two products should definitely contract! Have already read that some of them mix together and then spray them first. And a further spun thought of me was: Fluid Film, on it Perma Film and on it Mike Sanders. Does that make (even less) sense? As a hint: I h abe at the moment unfortunately no possibility to examine the cavities by endoscope and moreover the financial possibilities would be too limited to exchange everything in case of very strong rust infestation. The measures I plan are only for damage limitation. Thus the additional fluid film layer would only be prophylaxis! For helpful answers already a big thank you! MfG Gainestown

  • Wheelwheel welded and now rust again

    Hello to each other! I am looking for a solution for a sloppy sprinter, but the oldtimer community knows this problem best: 3 months ago I removed the rust from my Sprinter and welded a sheet metal on the bike. After that everything was nicely smooth, degreased, spatted, primed and painted. The success was remarkable, that looked really good. Just now I washed the car and what do I see about this bike run: an about 1 cent large bubble with crack ! When you press on it comes out brown soup … I have worked really pimply exactly, why is there now water between spatula and sheet metal???? Did I forget something? Would have heard on the bare sheet metal before spatling something on it??? If you restored a vintage car, should it last a little longer, how do you do that??? Before already thank you!! Berti
