Why are you so sure there's a nut or bolt in the engine?

Mercury Ballistic posted:Remember the Auckland Helo crash? Here is a better video with more turbine death whine. I think this is the first time in recorded history that somebody was filming an event like this and kept the camera pointed at the subject rather then aiming it at their feet once it went bad. I guess it helps it was most likely a professional.

lazer_chicken posted:If by this you mean "does anyone hate transverse V6's because changing the rear bank spark plugs is a bitch and a half," then yes. I looked up the procedure for changing the plugs on the girlfriend's 1MZ and stopped reading at removing the intake manifold. gently caress that, it only has 120k on it.

Man that is seriously lovely, but if I were the owner there's no chance I'd let the driver move it an inch. Why couldn't he tell him to gently caress off and come back with a flatbed or dollies?

IOwnCalculus posted:The other, which is largely related to that, is I haven't owned anything that thus fits the category of 'trackable' for me. The Miata needed a rollbar, which to clear my head with a helmet, would have also needed me to ditch the ragtop. The MS3 is better in that regard, but is also the only vehicle I own that I can safely put my daughter into, so balling it up would be a Bad Idea; also, I'm sure the MS3's already-annoyingly-pricey consumables become more painfully expensive with track use. I did a track day in my MS3, and it did stupendously. Only cost me boiled brake fluid, brake and tire wear was minimal. You should really give it a go, it does really well on the track.

jammyozzy posted:It took me 6 months of ownership to find out that the oil pressure "gauge" on my Miata was just an idiot light without the light. If you have an NA you can easily make it a real gauge by swapping the sender and gauge. Did t in my 97.

anonumos posted:"Relatively" easy to work on, too, though some things are very cramped and oddly placed. Nothing touches my first car (Tercel) for ease of maintenance for me personally so far. Similar to the Saturn I guess, super super basic, and loads of room, even more once I took off that intake snorkel (lets not get into my early teen ricer moments)

jamal posted:93 would have done you just as well while costing less and not ruining poo poo. Factory tune is optimized for it. Higher octane does prevent knock and pulled timing in hot/track conditions when things get heat soaked, but it won't give you more power or make a difference driving around town "boosting" or getting on the highway. I will say that when I went on a road trip and got ethanol free gas for the first time in my Speed3 there was a very noticeable difference in power, smoothness, and efficiency. gently caress the E10 pisswater we are stuck with in PA.

I was just thinking the same thing, I'm minus a chunk of flesh right now at my first knuckle on my index finger from a similar injury, a really really annoying spot, but yeah no longer gonna complain about it. Ooof.

Darchangel posted:I do have a scar on the heel of my right palm from building models as a teenager and completely forgetting about my Boy Scout training vis a vis cutting towards oneself. The Xacto knife had a very fresh very sharp blade. It literally did not bleed for several seconds it was so clean of a cut. Pretty much to the bone, of course, but thankfully no damage other than meat. You know it's gonna be a bad one when it doesn't bleed at first. Cut towards your buddy not your body!

I had a beater Paseo where the right turn signal had to be on to start it. The person I bought it from bought it like that, and claimed the seller said it was done on purpose to act as a kill switch, but it seemed janky as hell and I'm not convinced it wasn't somehow a wiring issue.

Oh hey I've done that to a loaner in Scotland. My brain was wired for green handle=diesel and black handle=petrol in the US, who knew it was the opposite over there? I was also jet lagged to all hell when I did it. I got probably 1/4 of a tank of petrol in before I noticed. Topped it off with diesel, the poor Astra ran like absolute garbage but I kept diluting with diesel along the way and it slowly improved. Big apologies to whoever bought that thing after it was retired.
