Fuuk'n bandwith-shit of photobucket. Now I have to wait a couple of days somehow before it resets my bandwith...
EDIT: 6 days to be precise



This is their explanation:


What Does "Bandwidth Exceeded" Mean?
Bandwidth is a measure of the resources used to serve (display) media from your Photobucket account to 3rd party sites (like blogs, forums, etc). Bandwidth is not storage. The size of the image or video will increase the amount of bandwidth you use when you link out to other sites. Have you exceeded bandwidth? Click here to upgrade

Examples of bandwidth usage:

-Lets say you have 100 photos that are 1MB in size each, and you are linking every single one of them out to your blog/website. 100 images at 1MB in size means that you are linking out just under 100MBs in data size for all those images. Those photos would need to be viewed 100 times a piece to reach the 10GB bandwidth limit for a free Photobucket account.

-If you only linked out 10 photos that are 1MB in size, those 10 photo would need to be viewed over 10,000 times before you would reach the 10GB bandwidth cap.

-If you had 10 videos on your blog/website that were 100MBs in size, that would equal out to just under 1GB in file size. If those videos were viewed 100 times total, you would reach the 10GB bandwidth cap.

What happens when you reach the bandwidth limit?

Image

If you do reach the bandwidth cap for the free account (10GB), your linked out photos will be replaced by the above Photobucket image that states "this image exceeds bandwidth". To get things back to normal you will need to upgrade to a Plus subscription, or wait for your bandwidth to reset for the month. Your bandwidth will reset to zero every month on the day you registered your account. You can find this date in your User Settings, under the Account tab.

If you upgrade to a Plus account, you will no longer have to worry about the bandwidth exceeded message, as all Plus accounts have unlimited bandwidth. Upgrading your account to a Plus account will only remove that message from photos that are linked out from your upgraded account. It will not remove the bandwidth exceeded message from images that are linked out from another users account.

Views of your photos directly on the Photobucket site does not use any bandwidth. Bandwidth is only used when the image is posted outside of Photobucket.

Manual seats, but heated
And yes, You can lower these seats properly. Never sat on a powered version though

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Interesting. Do you have manual seats or power? I wonder if the power seats sit higher, because the wheel on my '95 is LOW, and I am not a tall person.

[loekaaz]

Oh good, you'll soon be able to move the steering wheel through its full range of uncomfortably low positions!

Hell of a lot of work, man. It's going to be awesome when you're done!

Actually, it is way too high for my taste. I would rather like to be able to tilt it more downwards...

Yep. I still need to install power windows in the rear (ofcourse none of you Murricans have that problem, you spoiled brats) and relocate the switches to the rear center console. Then install seat heating in the the back seats. And I also have the power sunshade that still needs to be hooked-up.
Then I have lots of other stuff that I might do in the upcoming decades...

Last weekend I converted the electrical telescopic adjustable steering wheel from the Coupe to the Sedan. It didn't work in the Coup, but that appeared to be a quick fix due to a missing fuse. haha so simple

Again I must apologize for the awful celli's. I think my phone's cam is about to die soon. Apparently my Sony Experia has the same life span as my last PS2


Removing the old stuff:


replaced the steering lock and ignition:


lots of junk


Such a little button. So much grin on my face It is slowly getting all the true executive's options.

Got the old 300E subframe down from my storage space (It's the one with the primered dust shields). Came to the conclusion that the 300E subframe is actually in a better shape than the Coupe's.




Apparently, the one of the 300E had already been replaced somewhere in the past and therefore has better suspension arms and base frame.
On the other hand, the Coupe's subframe has better bearings, brakes, Hubs and ofcourse the LSD.
It seems like i'm going to have to build a hybrid frame out of these two...


See the comparison-shots:

300E sedan:


300CE Coupe:

cool thread

[P78]

Progress!

[loekaaz]

Dropped the rear subframe from the coupe last night. Now I can refurbish the whole subframe and LSD and refit it to the Sedan.

I still have the old subframe of my previous 300E parts car laying around. So I will pop that one underneath the coupe tonight so I will still have a rolling chassis again






TL-lights on the lift fuck-up the celli-pics



Oh and yes, in the background you can see my new daily CLK 500
