yup every car its good depend on which perspective u look at...

FC should be ok depends how u drive... VTEC technology FC is actually quite good and power delivery the torque very nice too..
reliability definitely is A okay.... price of parts is reasonable as lotsa after market parts too...

Which type are u looking at?

As long as u love the car and willing to commit i dont think its an issue... make sure u get a reasonable car condition.

After reading it for sometime.... it still make my eyes rolling hahahaha

Dual camshaft use more fuel hmmmmmm then if i add a few more screws to the cam pulley would it takes more lolssss...

Valve also got 4 for each piston i know the sky drops is called rain and its liquid is called water or what the scientist called H2o

Engine block got racing bred hahahahaha i must get MKA cert for my engine block soon.... maybe my engine block is come from champion line...

Lolsssss u really make me laugh rolling from Lowyat 5th Floor to Basement.....

Dont you understand how the car works.... go and google wikipedia dude....dont be dildomydude hahahahaha

3 Valve, 4 Valve or 5 Valve does not mean anything about consumption.... it is EFFICIENCY... FC is always depend on the car weight over power ration and the engine displacement.

Single cam Vtec can be as good FC as Twin Cam or vice versa.... depend how you drive but for performance wise Twincam had more benefits where the power band is higher and more efficient than Single cam setup....Why manufacturer dont create all twincam? its the cost and design.

ALL Merc Single cam???? better go n tanam your head dude.....

I bet you are the real idiot in the world.... so Merc V8 is single cam lah HAHAHAHAH

lolssss i really laugh hard now until basement 5 edi

I bet u have to tanam your head lotsa time


W116 (1972)



This S-class flooded the streets in my childhood. Nevertheless, I do not have very fond memory of it, blame to its unrefined design. The W116 was born at a time new safety regulations getting effective. This demanded plastic bumpers and rubber side stripes. Unfortunately, like everyone else, Mercedes had not masterminded the art of integrating these safety features into the body shell, so they looked ill-fitted and at odds to the rest of the car.

Style-wise, the W116 was a brave (an unsuccessful) attempt for modernization. Its body shell was widened and lowered. The radiator grille evolved shorter and wider, while traditional circular headlights were replaced with two large rectangular ones with signal lamps integrated. Weight went up by around 100 kg, mostly due to improved safety. To enhance crash protection, the cabin section was made stiffer, and further research improved the progressive crumpling of the front and rear crumple zones. In the cabin, collapsible steering wheel, recessed switches and padded surfaces reduce the level of injury in collision. Fuel tank was relocated from the tail to above the rear axle. These features made the S-class the safest car in the world. Moreover, in its final year, it introduced the world's first ABS anti-lock brake system.

The chassis was a big departure from the previous generation. While the front double-wishbone setup sounds similar, it got anti-dive geometry and zero Kingpin offset (i.e. the steering axis falls onto the center of tire contact patch). The latter improved its steering response and reduced kickback a lot. At the rear, the low-pivot swing axles finally became history, as they were replaced with semi-trailing arms. This tamed the oversteer of its predecessor, making its handling safer and more predictable.



In the powertrain side, the 2.8-liter straight-six of 280SE/SEL became twin-cam and delivered an impressive 185hp (up 25hp). V8 models finally got proper names – 350SE/SEL and 450SE/SEL. They were good for 200hp and 225hp respectively, more or less the same as the ones introduced late in the life of the previous generation. The automatic transmissions now got torque converter instead of the previous fluid coupling for enhanced smoothness.

Autocar tested both 280SE and 450SEL. They topped 125 mph and 134 mph respectively, and accelerated from rest to 60 mph in 9.7 and 9.1 seconds respectively. The 280SE was praised for sweet revving engine, good handling and ride. Performance of 450SEL was disappointing, partly due to the power-sipping 3-speed automatic (lesser models used 4-speed auto), partly due to its extra weight. However, the British magazine praised it for refined ride, responsive handling that belied its size and superb power steering. The latter was light yet quick and free of kickback. No wonder 450SE/SEL was crowned European Car of the Year in 1974.

Like the previous generation, W116 was offered with a high-performance model, 450SEL 6.9. This will be dealt with a separate article.

nah we just having fun lolsssss no hard feel.... that is how we kill our time lols

Once again Another day is screwed by MXsteven.....

jeng jeng jeng.......

hahaha who is mojojojojojojojojo

nah not gun down by me....

Vtec engage depends on models... and iVtec works differently.... the old heritage Vtec normally kick in about 4.2k and some 4.8k... B16A if not mistaken 4.2k and B18C and H22A 4.8k.... i cant confirm... u need to google hahaha but im sure B16A is 4.2k coz my civic with my brother is B16A auto.... everytime Vtec kicks in the gear change lololololssss

yup 97.... all honda type R recomended to use 97 due to the ignition timing table... if not it will be knocking and jerking hahahaha i still remember someone drove his fren type R and fill 95 then later become subaru hahahaha

B16A drink any fuel but not rootbeer hahaha

i know u love Vtek tek hahahaha

Fuuuhhh all tech kaki come in edi....

i sit behind eat popcorn

Its Lagi power Lagi Best hahahaha..... MYVI should do 8 Valve Single cam.... so less stuff less makan minyak HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Finally something that you say is true..... couldnt agree more... this is what we called improve efficiency

Hahahahahaha.. kaw kaw out of topic edi lols pity the TS thread kena hijack kaw kaw
