Muffinpox posted:Yea, boosters have enough vacuum for a few stops even if the vacuum generator goes kaput. However, in the case of total failure you're kinda boned since its not hydraulic or mechanical problem, the system is just designed for the brake booster to multiply the 50lbs pedal pressure you're providing up to 300lbs and now with that gone you need to supply that 300lbs pressure with just your legs to get the same braking force. Which would be fine for an emergency stop on the street, mind you, but when you're already driving at the limits of grip with working brakes, and then take them out of the equation, you're pretty boned no matter what.

Unsurprisingly from what I heard it was his buddy who isn't an instructor. The whole event is a poo poo show and someone is going to get killed one of these years. There is a ton of drinking on site and other stupid poo poo as well. A lot of first timers show up as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f76Tix1RwQw People damaged the go kart track and drove through massive mud holes and threw mud up everywhere.

What, take the booster out of the equation? No. If anything the brakes are better unboosted for finer control, just you get a leg workout. There's a lot of race cars that have no booster, the actual pressure required isnt outside the bounds of what the average racer can do for a good long time. On a road car that runs out of boost on a track, you are completely fine if you know what to do and recognise what's happened. If your booster fails on the road it's the same situation. The real issue is recognising what's happened and reacting to it.

I don't mind Lemmy at all usually, but those clothes, the iron crosses, the nazi memorabilia, the wall full of knives... Also that's a ww2 Jagdpanzer, a tank killer, not a tank. Basically a large self propelled gun, that hid in the bushes to kill tanks, but no one would ever take one out into a battlefield as it would be no match for tanks that could see it, or surround it.

It's amazing that they could have as much consistency as they did. Even if you're a skilled craftsman and metal worker it can't be easy to make stuff like panels the same every time. The assembly guys aren't doing nearly as much massaging as you'd expect.

As a quality manager that video is like something out of a nightmare. So many tasks that should be automated being done by hand, so many chances for someone to screw up, so many body parts so close to being laminated onto a piece of sheet metal. That said, it's also a pretty awesome video. Also, this is my new favorite car review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp3tvDNybzo
