I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

Can it actually be possible to do donuts in a Mercedes E63 S with the 4MATIC system? i wanna know because it says that it does split the power, but it's biased towards the rear. can i still do a donut in one?

No burnouts :c

Or, you could put those skinny spare tyres all around and go about it that way?

There havent been CFCs in aerosol paint in years. It is just compressed CO2 now. No biggy.

Oh. :( Stupid 4matic. is there a way to order an E63 without the 4matic system, just pure RWD? i assume 2015 was the first year the E63 came with 4MATIC because i found this 2014 E63 and it doesn't mention 4MATIC so i assume it's pure RWD http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5089056334.html

I know, but it also means I don't need to spend money on a gun, air hose, compressor, reservoir, etc. I can just sand and clean the surface and paint away.

It depends on what you are doing. Some spray paint is not hugely consistent in color from one can to another, plus a good gun offers a ton of adjustability for your project.

 

Either way can be made to look good.

I know. I've spent a while looking around for consistent sprays and I think I've found one from what I've seen of the work people have posted. I could buy a gallon can, it'd be consistent but I'd have to buy a gun and the rest that goes with it. If the spray cans are consistent enough then I'm okay with it. I've also used spray paints a loooooot so I do know how to do a pretty good job at painting with them.

I've used both. I find that it is far more often that I just use a spray can if the project isnt huge. It is just easier to throw the can away than to clean the gun.

See I don't know what the cost of parts is right now.. and I'll need tools, and this is cheaper than getting a gallon can and spray gun. Plus I'm lazy with how much I'm going to be painting..

Engine clicking.. why is the engine clicking..??

 

I'm sorry, but this is what came up first on Google.

 

 

ENGINE CLICKING NOISES

 
A clicking or tapping noise that gets louder when you rev the engine is probably "tappet" or upper valvetrain noise caused by one of several things: low oil pressure, excessive valve lash, or worn or damaged parts.
 
First, check the engine dipstick to see if the oil level is low. If low, add oil to bring it back up to the full mark. Is the engine still noisy? Check your oil pressure. A low gauge reading (or oil warning light) would indicate a serious internal engine problem that is preventing normal oil pressure from reaching the upper valvetrain components. The cause might be a worn or damaged oil pump, a clogged oil pump pickup screen or a plugged up oil filter. Using too thick a viscosity of motor oil during cold weather can also slow down the flow of oil to the upper valvetrain, causing noise and wear.

Yeah I was looking through Google on this. Oil pressure is slightly higher than it's supposed to be. I know I had to add some more oil because when I originally tried to change it I was a little low.. GreenPeace hates me because of that, but I added a wee bit too much in just now. :D Going to wait until it's night time and drain a bit of oil out when it's not 38C outside.

Always add the last bit of oil in low increments so that you do not overfill. And I hope that it will get sorted out for you.
