some texas redneck posted:Does downtown Dallas really look that much like DC? I didn't put "down here" and your name together and that looked to me like some of the older neighborhoods of DC and what the hell do I know? I probably wouldn't be able to identify a photo in Detroit if there weren't burned out buildings or potholes in the street.

I haven't actually talked to him in a few months, but last I checked, he still had it I'm also amazed at how many local goons I see pop up.

Before I clicked to enlarge the photo, I thought it was something like a large crew cab truck on a semi frame. or something just moderately stupid. Then I clicked and just started laughing.

Question on all these cars with batteries in weird locations: How the hell do you jumpstart the car? Are there remote battery posts or do you have to basically take off the wheel/brace bar/open the rear door and lift up the carpet? This is pretty much a monthly concern for me (mostly jumping other cars).

My only cage knowledge comes from these threads, so pardon the stupid questions. Is that mid-car loop tube actually crooked or is that just a trick of the camera angle? And if it is crooked (assuming all other welds were not poo poo), would that necessarily be a problem? If the welds weren't poo poo and the tubes properly notched instead of crimped AND it wasn't electrical conduit/exhaust pipe, could this design be a good cage or is the tube placement that bad? The tube the drivers seat is connected to... if the car got into an accident, couldn't that end up twisting your back and being really really bad? quote:Needs: roll cage to be bolted in the rear (currently bolted in the front), alignment (I may have it done before the final purchase), body work (if you want it show car perfect), seat brackets if you want to bolt the NRG carbon fiber seat to the floor. And how the hell is this car "street legal"? Were the modifications done after the last inspection?

Terrible license plate stuff. I didn't see any other stickers or horrible stuff on or in the rest of the car. This parking lot is where I see most of my terrible car stuff. From wood screws and sheet metal patches to more horrible license plates.

CONTENT: The axle nut that wouldn't budge NOT CONTENT kastein posted:Hey you're not giving external pentalobe security torxplus enough credit here. EDIT: OH! *AND* make it so you can't replace the inner parts of the tool so if you have a 3/4" external pentalobe with a T8 torxplus and 2mm hex, you need a new tool for 3/4" external pentalobe with a T7 torxplus and 2mm hex /EDIT EDIT2: Like a more complicated patterned lug nut, with a few added steps for complexity. The top will also be made so if you go over the torque spec by more than 2%, the head sheers off, and with a few off-center harder metal rods going through the bolt, drilling it out will be difficult. This will increase per-unit cost to the manufacturers, but they will see more replacement part revenue since attempts to drill out the screw with the broken off head will screw up the part. At dealership service will increase because no one wants to have to replace a part because they broke off the bolt. (Dealers will be required to purchase the special tools AND the approved broken-bolt extractor (which will clamp onto the engine and use a special drill bit for the extraction). All broken off heads will not be covered under warranty and no matter the reason (even the dealer mechanics breaking off the head), and it will all be pointed at the customer doing unauthorized access/service to the car and will void all the warranties. Is this evil enough yet? Also, I'm terrible and I like torx and think torxplus is a good idea. Fire Storm fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jan 23, 2015 |

Memento posted:If I wanted one of those 1" drive 6000ft/lb monsters, what should I be googling for, and what sacrifices will I need to make? Just a goat, or are we moving to actual human sacrifice territory? I searched for 1" torque multiplier in Google image search and found this link pretty quickly. And yes, it's on Amazon under a from a few different suppliers. Yeah, I may get one too.

Enourmo posted:My favorite line from that video: Isn't that more or less what they do with smaller cars now anyway? A transmission tunnel? I know that my Focus has/had something like that for the exhaust, and I imagine that a 4WD/AWD sedan would have something like that. That Focus has been retired as a future project car, which I just know will be a terrible car story (2002 FWD 2.0L, want to replace it with a newer Ecoboost and AWD). Got a new Explorer a month ago, tried to move the Focus and the belts were squealing, a battery light was on, the car was hard to start and the cabin started filling with smoke. SO YEAH, the power steering pump seized. And that car pulled overloaded trailers when I was moving, but it was relatively flat land, I just took it easy because I knew it was overloaded.

Would putting a small strip of heater element paint/wire on the bottom of a windshield to defrost the wipers? The rear window in my car (2013 Explorer) has a section like that, a bit of that in a squiggle pattern.

So David Spade got into a car accident. Apparently "1 of his rear tires went flying about 100 feet" How fast was the car going that it ripped the wheel off like that? Or is there some flaw in the bolts that would cause them to break like that?

The noise requirement for electric cars reminds me of the old red flag traffic laws, so I wonder how long they will be in effect until they are abandoned.
