That's $400 a week net to pay the loans but I'm sure that was worth the $130k debt and making more than her mom who apparently works in a sweatshop. She's a HENRY DINK, no amount of money is enough to raise her out of thinking she barely scrapes by.

What about cooling the brake fluid? By heatsink or radiator or otherwise. Or Routing it through the HVAC. And another caliper. And an air brake.

xzzy posted:The goofy mechanical failures are one of the few things that keeps F1 interesting. You never know who's going to have an electrical failure or some important bit of carbon fiber fall off. A bee hits the rear wing upsetting the delicate balance of weight and downforce sending the car hurtling into the stratosphere. A Greasy fingerprint on the side of the tires caused by a member of pit crew not wearing gloves causes the alignment of the wheels to alter dramatically during a corner sending the car flying into an onlooking group of orphans. The Team engineers mispronounced one word in the pre-race ritual of drowning a baby goat in motor oil and the ghost of Ayrton Senna bursts from the engine block and strangles Lewis Hamilton.

I have a few friends doing car design at university and I've begged them to look into materials science so we can make cars that look awesome, are super safe and are fast and fun as gently caress. That 50 mile range though. It would be an amazing 50 miles but considering how fast this thing goes it'd be over in a moment. Battery tech needs to get a lot better before this is a thing, sadly.

Kafouille posted:Given that the vid claims 800hp, and that 1100kw is nearly double that (1475 hp), the driveline efficiency is pretty poo poo if those numbers are right, that's nearly 50% loss from the battery to the wheels. Tesla claims north of 75% driveline efficiency. Given how electric cars work adding more power shouldn't hit the range if you are not actually using said power, unlike a normal car where the most efficient throttle setting is wide open. Yeah but that's guy in workshop vs. niche automotive company with hella capital and dedicated engineers. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Oct 7, 2015 |

Sadly it didn't stop at the lights long enough for me to get a picture of it but it was the same colour, just with yellow stripes and wheels. And it was loving TINY. You could step over this thing if it was racing towards you. That's just a fancy Go-kart

Seems they've put out a few pretty cars over the years in concept form if nothing else. Also the 70s wedge style of car is probably my favourite 'genre' of car and the Bravo is the perfect example of it IMO. Holy poo poo I want all of these. And I want to drive them all. forever on a neon highway.

In comparison to straight 6s v8s didnt do that great until the LS1. Like the twin turbo 2jz and rb26, as well as the bmw s50. All great engines mated to cars that I would prefer to a nineties v8 car. In fact Id say that now is the real time of the v8, considering how damned good the current slew of US V8s are.

Or they're only selling it in diarrhea brown? the production model will be a five-door crossover? engine will be single-cylinder for emission regulations? price starts at 30k for base model? What is the catch? Dont jinx it My fingers are so crossed the index and middle fingers have switched places.

Powershift posted:The first 2 pics are the real full size thing for comparison. In 1972, a crack mechanic unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly walked through the bars from a maximum security stockade to the Tokyo underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as flat rate mechanics. If you have a blown valve, if no one else can help, and if you would just look down....maybe you can hire The Kei-Team.

So he crashes on your couch constantly and makes shady deals in your backyard and you're cool with it because obviously 'we cool bro right'? And at the middle of the night you get gentleman and lady callers knocking on your door screaming for that fiesta with no down payment he promised hed be getting

MrYenko posted:Another fun property of high-percentage nitro mixes is that at a proper fuel/air ratio, you'll be putting so much fuel in the cylinder that if it fails to ignite, you can literally hydrolock on fuel, and pop the heads off the engine. In fact, at ignition, even at high RPM, only about 10% of the nitro in the chamber is actually vapor; The rest is liquid. Ignition of the small amount of nitromethane vapor provides the heat to vaporize and ignite the liquid. Would that count as some sort of extreme form of charge cooling? Since as it vaporizes it should cool down the charge to prevent the knocking hand of god. If so then I think irs mandatory for the immense boost those superchargers must make. Also i thought they'd use crank driven instead of belt drive superchargers.
