First off I'm curious how it could get camber on a beam axle front, and secondly my Fastback we managed to get onto a rack carefully and it was "only" 10* camber in the rear with 1.5* of toe in. To top it off, the bump stops had been hacksawed off and the rear trailing arms were cutting into the body itself, so I doubt it had 15* each side. To top it off, you're a bad person and wrong in every way for posting it here and we're not friends any more.

I posted pics of this abomination in the previous 'terrible things' picture thread, but a lot has happened, since. The owner is now selling it with a lovely red paintjob, a slight improvement over the previous primer grey.

Root Bear posted:Just your average 7-Lug Dodge Intrepid: What truck actually came with a 7-Lug axle? There is a 7 lug rear axle pulled from a truck at my local pull-a-part junkyard sitting no-where near a vehicle. First one I have ever seen. Good luck finding aftermarket wheels, lol!

For a few years it was just called the f-250, for a few years it was a package on the f-150.

It's 928 with mods all the way to the hood. Then it's just something else entirely. What is that? On closer inspection of the front wheel well, it would appear that the 928 is still under there somewhere.

IOwnCalculus posted:Why is this, out of curiosity? Is the crank pulley on the rotary particularly small? There's a few reasons, the one that has been mentioned is big revs is true, the V-belt cant handle the rpm even stock rotaries can achieve. The second is the layout is not optimal to get a good tension on the belt, esp with the water pump there in the mix. You usually see most cars running two belts - one for the alternator and the other for the water pump. Rotaries use one for both and thence more load for the belt to cope with and on top of that you have the thermo fan usually attached to the water pump drive. So you mix that all together and any wear + modifcations that make the engine rev faster/ harder and the stock v-belts slip and burn out in short time. Usual fixes are dual v-belts or a cogged belt. Plus tossing the stock thermo fan (which uses a viscous coupler) and use a electric fan.

No. The F series lights are narrower. Although, starting with the 10th generation, the F-250 and above received different lights from the F-150 (both front and rear, I believe).

A few months back, before I knew what sex my kid would be, I was killing time looking on eBay and other places searching for sets of Yat Mings like the ones I had as a kid. I think I actually prefer those to Hot Wheels.

Cool, I'm gonna try to take some pictures of some of my toy cars this weekend. My real car is kinda lame, but my toy ones are much more fun. I'll bet a lot of us have a collection of some sort.
