I did that once by accident while learning to drive and a freeze plug immediately blew out (from water pump overspeed I assume) and dumped all the coolant. Luckily no other damage. e: okay, not quite as bad. He says he's in 6th gear and drops to 2nd at 150km/h (95mph). I was going more like 55 and shifted from 5th to 2nd.

Of course it's a Renault, no great loss at least  The Megane we had at work had a sketchy shifter. Going into first instead of third or third instead of fifth from fourth was common, luckily I always managed to back off before releasing the clutch.

ShittyPostmakerPro posted:So this begs the question: Which part generally explodes when you hydrolock a rotary engine? Hydrolocking a rotary is a weeeeeeeee bit difficult to start with. The absolute worst possible is break a seal - everything else will be quite fine. I've belted a river crossing and injested, all it did was splutter and and fart until the plugs cleared..... I'm not actually sure a piston style hydrolock could even happen come to think of it, incoming water for instance would be more likely to go straight back out the exhaust. Certainly I've never really heard of anything more than difficulty in restarting if a rotary injests water. LaF's pic is a flood car.

Not really a horrible mechanical failure, but the power-regulator cap (C14 below) blew on my Honda ECU, as 25 year old Honda ECUs are wont to do. Totally non-obvious from basic inspection, had to remove it to see. It looks like it poo poo down one of its legs and ate up the traces beneath. Symptoms were non-start, solid CEL with no fuel pump, and measuring only around 0.3V at the MAP sensor 5V reference line. Gonna replace the entire set of caps and chip the ECU while I'm in there.

Wife was shopping around online fretting about the cost of replacing it and I was all "stand aside woman, this feeling of saving the day is what men live for!" Did some quick googling to find the right capacitors, bought em from Fry's, and spent half an hour doing the actual work. Four years later the TV is still humming strong. So yeah, gently caress surface mount.

Really the problem with cellphone stuff isn't the size of the parts so much as the density of the parts. But get some good magnification (stereo microscope, ideally), some good tweezers, and a hot air rework station, and you might surprise yourself how doable a lot of that stuff is.

You literally pointed out right here why SMD work is annoying, because having to set up (and buy) a microscope and hot air soldering station is a huge hassle.

Technosynthese is one of those words that sounds all futuristic now, but terribly, terribly dated in a few years. c.f. '-omatic' from the 50s

Literally what I was gonna say. I can do 0201s but they are a cast iron bitch and I expect to lose a few before getting one placed right. Anything with pads on the bottom (bga, dfn, qfn, wlcsp, et al) can take a flying gently caress at a blender.

Pretty much every production car with a turbo for the last few decades has had a water-cooled turbo as if they arrange the cooling system correctly then water will siphon through the turbos even with the water pump off thanks to convection, cooling the turbos down even after you shut the car off, thereby negating the need for a turbo timer. You can also just not beat on the car for the last couple miles but where's the fun in that
