 That happened about 6 months ago in the Melbourne CBD. It's a Ferrari 458, which isn't super clear from the photo. The owner rocked up about ten minutes later... The damage done to the yellow one further down in the article, and the fact that the driver wasn't injured speak volumes about the integrity of the monocoque.

The wheels indicate it was owned by someone with no taste so I can't be too mad about it being destroyed. *edit: those are the stock wheels? Jesus.

The initials aren't a coincidence, and it's not the first Zonda with the initials of its original buyer. "The driver of the Pagani Zonda GJ lost control of the 200mph motor while driving around in an industrial estate in London. […] It was bought new for around £340,000 in 2003 by Scottish oil tycoon Gareth Jones but is now thought to be worth in the region of £1 million."

I'm assuming that engine wasn't common rail because you can normally achieve that degree of exhaust heating by fooling around with injection quantities/timing on their own.

Fuel atomized before the turbo but not ignited would cool the charge and reduce the pressure. Fuel atomized and ignited before the turbo would cook the turbo.

The current TDI in my car does this. The "regen" as it is so delightfully called is just extra fuel being injected to heat the DPF up and burn off all the extra stuff left over. Wish it had urea instead, but meh.

where does the urea tend to get "injected" or whatever the proper term would be?

Now they need DPF, Urea and EGR to meet emissions (in the UK anyway) Pre DPF silencer with just SCR  The bullshit i have to deal with now:  Not showing the AFI (aftertreatment fuel injector) which is located in the pipe just after the turbo outlet. ASC: ammonia slip catalyst DOC: diesel oxidation chamber SCR: selective catalytic reduction (injecting poo poo to reduce emissions) warcake fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Feb 14, 2015 |

I can't decide if this is terrible, or awesome, but it's a Geo Metro so I'm leaning towards this thread. http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-your-own-Electric-Car/#step1 Does seem fairly well done though.

It seems to get even better fuel economy now  Also it's a loving geo metro and he sold the parts he removed on to someone else to keep another one alive, so who cares? I sure hope he weatherproofed that poor motor and motor controller, though, or they won't last long.
