scapulataf posted:I'm certainly mot calling bullshit, or disputing this in any way, but that piston seems to be quite small given the length of the crankshafts in locomotive engines. Pistons in commercial diesels aren't usually that big compared to the engine. Most of the grunt comes from the stroke. GE evolution specs list the bore as a tad under 10" with stroke bring over 1'. Everything else is huge to deal with the massive amount of torque.

Whitey Ford posted:I thought the GT R32 was RWD? I don't know much about them but I did notice the GT badge on the fender. I don't know about that car specifically, but most models with an engine that has awd/rwd drivetrain option will use the same motor placement for easier logistics, and the front diff usually requires the engine being a bit further up. I was going from the hood hole that the clutch was infront of the bulkhead but who knows!

Hillridge posted:I've heard that in cases of drowning, suffocation, or any other incident where the brain is deprived of oxygen, it's the reintroduction of oxygen that kills the cells, not the preceding lack of it. Your body is used to oxygen at .21bar partial pressure (1atm x.21 (21% of air volume)). When you go to higher pressures the partial pressure of oxygen increases and from what I remember, your body can't respirate it effectively and it begins to interrupt metabolic and other body processes due to hyperoxia. Once you hit a certain threshold it begins to cause neurological, pulmonary, and occular problems with 1.4bar being generally the safe limit for O2 partial pressure at extended times. The deeper you go the lower % oxygen is in the air blend to keep te partial pressure to safe levels. These effects happens at sea level/space as well but it's less severe since the partial pressure is so low so you can get away with 100% oxygen enviornments for a pretty long time. If he was at 1000 feet essentially he went from whatever they were using to 15bar partial pressure which is way beyond fatal. Even 50% at 30m can gently caress you day up.

Dave Inc. posted:New York's got ya beat, my brother had to drop out of grad school for a semester*, spend $500 and four months to get a hold issued by NY taken off his GA license so he could get it renewed. Apparently he had a speeding ticket he didn't pay some 5 or 6 years ago and NY was holding a grudge. It took that long because each time he'd get a hold lifted they'd find out there was another hold, nobody could ever tell him if this hold was the last one so he'd have to try to renew his license at the DMV every time to check. I had a friend get arrested and put into booking recently for driving in NY with an 5 year old unpaid speeding ticket.

This happened when I worked at Acura because a tech failed to secure the mount properly, i.e. at all. He was driving it onto the alignment rack and it put a strut almost through the hood.

Geoj posted:You're right, going 5 under the limit is much worse than going 25 over the limit and acting like an entitled asshat when someone doesn't immediately pull over on the shoulder to let you pass. It is actually, in the US most places specify that vehicles in the left lane always yield to faster traffic regardless of the actual speed limits (of course, moving right when it's safe to do so). I've seen police throw on the sirens to clear someone doing 80mph in the left lane so they could go 100. If someone can pass you on the right you shouldn't be in the left lane.

Geoj posted:Who said anything about sitting in the left lane? Its not uncommon for me to have a car with Michigan plates tailgate the gently caress out of me in the middle or far right lane when I'm already doing 10 over the limit. The guy you quoted and responded to. Obsoletely Fabulous posted:At least we don't come into your state and drive 5 under the speed limit in the left lane like Ohio drivers do in Michigan. Also tailgating in any lane is just being an enormous dick, no argument. Geoj posted:Also, most places in the US also specify that you're supposed to obey posted speed limits. If I'm active passing someone/a line of slower moving traffic in the left lane I'm not going to get over until I'm done passing because someone else thinks that 95 is an acceptable cruising speed and they own the road. Left lane is yield regardless of speed limits. Anyways, you're doing it right since you're actually passing and moving over when there is room. Someone who isn't passing in the left is in the wrong though, if someones driving like a douche let them go and let the cops deal with it.

meatpimp posted:That's such and extreme example that it's not even useful. The problem comes when someone is going 71.5mph passing a vehicle moving at 70.0mph, which will take what... 15 to 30 seconds? And if a vehicle is in the left lane coming up on these two at 75 mph, the American Entitlement of that driver takes over, he goes all rear end-riding of the first left lane passer and a pissing contest ensues. How exactly is it the guy who can't wait 15 seconds for someone to slowly pass another car is entitled, but the car that can't wait 15 seconds for the faster car to pass him before executing a slow pass isn't entitled? parrhesia posted:This is a white van: And it might be a mobile speed camera

Cuntpunch posted:10% more speed and a kid in that back seat and your 'bro' would be facing some serious charges. "I didn't know they changed something on the road" isn't an excuse for crashing into someone else - only an admission of being an ignorant manchild. The impact structure of the Corolla is almost entirely intact, the reason it looks so bad is the truck rode up and used the trunk and firewall as an impact zone. That's also why the truck didn't deploy airbags and looks like it was in a 5mph.
