GSXR's 1990s-Era Web Site for 1990s-era MBs

Moderator's Note: This thread was cleaved off of @JDAMG's "OWNER" thread as a collection of off-topic posts about the @gsxr's web site.

• Check ETA between Vee, the wiring to the ETA (pancake connector?)

These are from @gsxr's www.w124performance.com website, but since I have an allergic reaction to his ls -al or dir style of user-interface, I just mirrored everything locally --- which explains me uploading these images from @gsxr.

Thank you for this!!

... and while we are on this topic as you are fussing with wiring harness, when you have the valve covers off, check the upper wiring harness too. If ecojunk then replace. Also check ETA which is right there in between the Vee... specifically the wiring to the ETA. If you have the big pancake connector, you are probably ok. If you have the small pencil connector, it is probably ecojunked, so please consider getting it rebuilt.

I think I'm going to subtitle you "Q*baert" for sounding too much like him with the "eco-junk" posts ! Eco-junk is the root of all EW124 evil (according to Q*baert and the Shepster).

rsync is always a good command for the @gsxr's site.

Guess you wouldn't like to be an admin for this site then ;-). It takes mad Linux skills.

 

[Jlaa]

rm is always a good command for the @gsxr's site.

I can't do rm. I need to su first or chmod first but I don't have the password.

 

[gerryvz]

That's su -. Once you have root, the @gsxr's world is your oyster.

Have you brute-forced @gsxr's site over ssh yet?

 

[gsxr]

Jlaa, if you're not careful, I just might give you read access! LOL! I thought y'all had already crawled it and had a bot save a local copy?

I really need to work on processing the 1000+ photos in my Inbox... hundred or two PDF's as well.

Brute force attacks are for Q*baert script kiddie types who only know how to run cheapo scripts they bought from the dark web. I’ve been trying various buffer overflow and SQL injection attacks, but then I realized that The GSXR is ahead of us all and is running a MongoDB NoSQL database. Since The GSXR has locked everything down in that way, I’ve been trying various social engineering efforts to exploit flaws in its “human simulation” algorithm, but its too good, I just can’t seem to get it to click on fake stuff so that I can execute a Cross Site Scripting attack. This is clear evidence that The GSXR is not human - a nephew of Uncle Kent it is not

Hahahhahaah. Stop trying to reverse social engineer an attack on me that would cause me to accept responsibility to process those 1200+ files!!!

Sadly, I understood that.

As the conversation has strayed far from 400E’s and ETA’s, this is perhaps a good place and time to wonder aloud:

I have removed the ETA (000 141 7925, dated 11/91, pancake connector) from my 90K mile ’92 ASR 400E parts car that ~8 years ago was reportedly running well on the way to it’s minor front end crunch that immediately and subsequently took it of the road.
Without any exploratory surgery, it’s wiring appears entirely intact, as well as it’s mechanical functioning.

As it has little spare-on-the-shelf value for my ‘94 E420, I wonder what is it’s future...

It would be a useful spare for a pre-facelift 034/036 with ASR. Again, despite the wires being OK, internal components can eventually wear out... but it may work fine, if it was still working OK when removed. If you don't plan on owning a pre-facelift ASR 034/036, you could always post it in the classifieds.

I will move these offending posts out of your OWNER thread into a new "@gsxr's site is circa 1996" thread.

 

[JDAMG]

@gerryvz I did visit @gsxr's site, but I am unqualified to comment as the only web page I have ever built was through wordpress. Pretty sure that does not even count

 

[northNH]

Personally speaking, other than perhaps here, there is NO cache of 124 info that has helped me figure out my way around these cars more than Dave’s. Thanks to you and him.

I know I like to get my indispensable information for my 90's Mercedes from a 90's website.

Just because gsxr’s site, like me,

“IS a TIMEX WATCH in a DIGITAL AGE”

I STILL LOVE IT !!!

Knowing nothing about what Jlaa or Gerry are talking about has not deterred me from using the gsxr’s site.

I guess in my case “IGNORANCE is BLISS”

Thanks Dave for all that you do for us,

ESPECIALLY ME !!!

lol

 

[sheward]

You have a timex watch? I'm still using my hourglass.

@TerryA, is this the watch that you are using? Did Captain Koons give you this watch?

 

[TerryA]

@sheward Actually I don’t wear a watch BUT I do have a fake ROLEX

@Jlaa, Who the hell is Captain Koons?

FYI, I was in Verona, Italy looking in the window of a high end clothing store with a picture of this guy in the window saying “WE ALLOW WALK-INS”

WTF does that mean???

lol

 

[nocfn]

What, no John Candy Casio?

 

[Jlaa]

@Jlaa, Who the hell is Captain Koons?

Good morning @TerryA, An explanation of Captain Koons can be found at the short four minute clip here, which was taken from the film "Pulp Fiction," a motion picture that debuted the same year I believe one of your cars was originally sold - 1994.
