The steering wheel is wearing, and at approx. 130,000m the cooling fan needed to be replaced. Replaced with two 14" electric fans for $75 and 5 extra hp.
I can say I've never owned a car like this, the old LS400 seems extremely under powered in comparison!!!
My friends just purchased a new CLK 430, it's an absolutely beautiful car. Unfortunately its considerably slower than my Q and rides like a truck in comparison!!!
I've found the place to get some serious performance products for these cars. Search for Jim Wolfe on the web.
I am now looking for the infamous 1994 Q45 Super HICUS, anyone seen one for sale?
Try a 1994 Q45t with HICAS. They are there, but one has to be extremely sensitive to discern the difference over a non-HICAS one (say a 1995 Q45t).
Best bang for the buck (after restoring worn suspension components) is adding the rear model a bar and new rubber bushings for same.
