Found another aftermarket company for the SLK 320. http://www.rica.nl/ppc/

Seems there is a shop on the east coast. http://www.rica.nl/contact/index.php?area=north_america

 

What products do they offer for the SLK320 ? I can't seem to find any on their website... M112 engine !!!

 

I believe they offer tuned ecu programming, Kleenmann stuff, call them, I'm sure they have a list of stuff for SLK320, most likely they will have to order it.
I was just doing a search for a Limited Slip differentials for the slk320 and their site popped up.

 

Are you telling me that the SLK320 doesn't have a LSD, but the Crossfire does ? That's weird.

 

From my crossfire shop manual, it shows and describes an open differential, not a limited slip. I don't know what the SLK320 has in it.

Though I should change out the rear gear fluid soon, so I will take a closer look to confirm it is an open diff.
Why, do you know something about the rear diff that isn't described in the manual?

 

Thus, you have found the big discrepancy... All of the marketing material and reviews over the past 3 years say that the Crossfire has a Limited Slip Differential. However, when I received the engineering specs from DCX last year, it said open diff.

 

so have you opened it up to actually see what's in there?

 

I have one disassembled sitting in my garage that I bought from an insurance write-off... it's not a LSD, it's open diff. I just think it's BS that DCX advertised that the crossfire had LSD and it actually does not have one... FALSE ADVERTISING ?

 

wow, never knew that. and you and i made fun of so many people for thinking it didn't have one. oh well. screw dc.

 

Yeah well, I feel like a jackas* believing the original marketing BS from DC... Just do a google search on "Crossfire Limited Slip Differential" and everything says it has one... But if you look at the SCCA spec sheet I got from the DC engineers last year, it says "Open Differential".

When I cracked mine open, it sure as hell looked like an OPEN type, then I started to do more research...

 

We should put together a group law suit against DC for such trechary! Make them replace the open diffs with posi units. sh*t! wtf.

 

correct me if I'm wrong but do the Limited's also get fold away heated mirrors? I saw this option as listed standeard on the limited crossfire, but I cant seem to figure out how to warm the mirrors when they are foggy?

 

LOL... F' that... how about spinning the right rear wheel as you're taking the crest of a hill with a 30% turn at 100 mph and then you find out the LSD aint an LSD and you end-up in the weeds. And then have a corner worker flagging you and laughing...

Now that deserves a biatch-slap to the marketing reps who said we had a LSD on the Crossfire...

 

Just turn on the rear defroster and the mirrors heat up as well.

 

cool thank you.
