The thing on top of the diff has arms at angles bolted to it and then to boxes on the frame rails, it's probably to keep the pumpkin (and assoc axle tubes) from rotating back to front.

Do they have a harmonic balancer? Kind of looked like it, making its escape. Really liked the way it kept rotating along the kerb. Also I knew that was from Australia even before the guy started talking or reading the description. It just had semi-industrial-area bogantown written all over it.

Been a while since I had something to contribute to this thread... #5 intake runner on the C70 is cracked, probably from whoever did the PCV system last torquing it down wrong/too much.

He's accelerating pretty hard. Wonder if a tank broke its moorings and knocked the valve off or something?

Just came across an article by Matt Farah about Paul Walker's crash, and how old tires might have contributed to the incident: http://www.thedrive.com/opinion/5189/the-truth-behind-what-caused-paul-walkers-fatal-crash Hopefully it doesn't surprise anyone that decade-old tires are super sketchy, but what I'm wondering is how bad they are. There's a pretty detailed paper here: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/esv/esv20/07-0496-W.pdf but it has mostly to do with catastrophic failure and not reduced driving characteristics. FWIW: here's their results:  Has anyone came across a test where they drove on a track with old tires and then with new ones, ideally of the same model or at least brand and category? That'd be pretty interesting.

Heat cycled ones grip until there is approximately zero all at once, no warning.

 Does anyone remember where this came from, or who might have a higher res version? I was thinking of getting an embroidered patch. Anyway, content: The 2-year old balljoint i just pulled out of my ls400. I wish I had recorded the sound this thing was making  I accidentally put a washer in the wrong place and cracked this transmission -> engine brace on the ae86 recently   a cool dude welded it up good as new for me though   Not fuckup related but this was his car parked outside his welding shop:

I don't think race compounds is the best comparison since they do stuff like oil out and go off after a year where as your average road tire is much harder and less temperamental to deal with. Having said that my experience karting on old tires other people throw away is that the operating window becomes a lot smaller and you need to be smoother with the throttle and brake. Wouldn't surprise me if he eased it up to 160 and then slammed the brakes and was caught off guard by how quickly it gave up.

3rd gen Celica, I think they were designated A60. They're pretty good in a late 80s kind of bloated way. Edit: or could be a Supra, they were essentially identical at the time.

It's the Supra. Celica has sharper nose and different pop-up light assembly and bumper. E: Technically is both. They were called the Toyota Celica Supra. Puddin fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Sep 15, 2016 |
