GWBBQ posted:I remember, from my unfortunate time as a lube tech, the old Mercedes-Benz diesel engines had a small lever next to the intake manifold that had "STOP" printed on it. I can't find a picture, but I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about. To start it, you flick the lever so there's less resistance to work against while you spin the starter handle, then flick it closed when you've got a few rpm. You also have to have the front wheel (yes, singular, it's a 3-wheeler) on full lock so your knuckles don't hit it while you're cranking, and because the fuelling's out of whack, you use a piece of binder twine wrapped round your foot to pull on the throttle so she'll start. Seriously, no bastard's ever going to steal it. Even if by some miracle they started it, the pedal layout's set to the pre-war standard of centre throttle, right brake, and the gearbox is impossible to navigate even having driven Fiats for over a decade...

Do you think it could handle the tongue weight of a small car trailer with an integra type-R on it? Nevermind, if it's the same as this thing, its' so  it boggles the mind. It could probably pull a house down, albeit at 5 mph.

No, it wouldn't go very fast, and God help you if you needed to stop. Single leading shoe, rod-activated drums on the rear axle...

Godholio posted:Same thing with the F-15. Every modern fighter is inherently unstable. This improves maneuverability significantly. But it means the pilot's input doesn't directly affect the flight surfaces...the computer receives the input, decides how best to make it happen, and actually makes the adjustments. The computer was not designed to fly with one wing. McDonnell Douglas ran multiple simulations and were absolutely stunned the plane landed safely. The F-15 is not a fly-by-wire aircraft. It relies on aerodynamics for its stability, not computer corrections (like nearly every fighter made since the F-15).

Heads and pistons from my collection. The thing to note on the bottom head is the shim sitting on it. See the hole burnt throught it? Yeah. Did that in less than an hour, on more than one cylinder. Due to the domed piston pictured next to it. The top one, dropped intake valve seat, ate a piston.

The initial run were not FBW, but the C model and everything since is. The F-15I should fall into this latter category. The F-15 IS flyable without it apparently, but unless it's disabled, the computer is still running the show. I don't know if there are still any F-15As in the inventory. The ANG had a few a year or two ago, but I don't know if they're still around.

The ANG had a few a year or two ago, but I don't know if they're still around. It's not a true FBW system though, in which the computer communicates with the control surface servos via electrical cables (as opposed to a conventional hydromechanical system of linkages, cables and pushrods communicating with the servos). The F-15C and later models have what's known as a Control Augmentation System (CAS); basically, the control cables/pushrods have servos attached or spliced into them to allow a flight control computer to manipulate the controls - sort of like an autopilot, but with more authority to make control surface movements. It provides many of the benefits of FBW, but at the same time, it retains a physical connection between the control column and the control surfaces. The F-15 isn't the only aircraft to be fitted with a system like this - the F-14A+ and F-14D had a similar system installed as well.

If we're doing airplanes in here as well, I figure I'd contribute something from my industry:     I am a reservoir, not a drilling engineer, but from what I recall they were drilling this well and they hit an unknown formation and took a "kick" of natural gas at a much higher pressure than they expected. A bubble of gas rose between the drill string and the borehole. The change in pressure of the drilling fluid was monitored and there are a series of rams on a device called a BOP or blow out preventer that can close tightly around or even cut through the drill string if it was really bad, near uncontrollable kick. One set of rams was known to be bad and was locked up, another set jammed up, and a third set didn't have the right tool in time as the "driller" didn't react in time. The rig ended up being evacuated before the drill pipe was ejected out of the ground and the bubble of gas reached surface and shot the drilling fluid completely out of the hole as the gas bubble caught on fire. This is pretty simplified, but I was trying to get the point across. If people are interested, I know I have a lot more pics of various oilfield disasters, but I'd have to check my work computer tomorrow.

I like to think that it's been established so far in this thread that while it's extra cool if it's part of a vehicle gone  , what we're all really here for is to see anything spectacularly broken. Anything. Please, do continue.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:i've worked on trannies now from a couple vintage motorcycles, and i'm surprised that they don't look much different than that one here. i suppose the gears must be bigger, but you're still putting all your power through two little teeth there. or more than two if they're helical cut? anyway, 25-50hp? sure i can believe that? 250? i have a hard time understanding how that works. Helical gears, so you have a longer gear than the width. That and good metal.

That H2 has seen more off road poo poo then most people have with their "hard core" rigs. Trust me. Guy goes by Alec W on pirate 4x4, hummer x and jk owners and few other forums. He took that H2 *EVERYWHERE* and beat the snot out of it, the only thing he broke on it was the tie rods in that one video which is pretty impressive. He's still amused at all the play time it's getting. I think he's running around with an H3 and a Jeep Rubicon these days. But I've seen pictures and videos of that thing all over the place, Moab, Fordyce/Rubicon and out in Colorado and Wyoming. Now if the H2 broke a tie rod in a mall parking lot.. that would be funny

The 98 ZX2 trans was awesome for drags, nice short gears and as bulletproof as I've seen the G-series transaxles. But, I couldn't find a 98 trans ever at my pick-n-pull, so it was usually the one from the 4-door sedan. The only actual ZX2 trans I found was stuck in 3rd gear

scapulataf posted:Holy gently caress, perhaps they aren't as robust as I thought, though I was aware before that they weren't indestructible. So here's how they fail; 1. Diff pin fails a) To fix, weld diff pin and replace w/ a welded MSP diff or a mFactory one 2. Second or Third gear shreds to pieces (as pictured) a) To fix, replace w/ expensive aftermarket set or swap in a new gear box 3. The power causes the aluminium case to flex between shifts as power is re-applied (second to third usually) and the shafts destroy their mounting points inside the transmission. a)To fix this, a thick plate is machined to fit where the shafts meet the 1/4" aluminium mounting point on the transmission. Or to fix all of this, you simply replace the G-series with a Toyota E-series from a FWD Solara or a AWD Celica (if you have an AWD BG chassis car.) OH - and for all of you with ZX2s etc - there's a company producing new rear subframes that let you install a Toyota Celica rear diff/axle setup in a FWD Escort GT/ZX2 chassis. There's tons of info about the Toyota trans swap + this new AWD setup if anyone wants it. Mind you, the adapter plate that's currently out there (about $270usd) only works for the BP motor (which can be installed into a ZX2 easily).

Does the AWD rear preclude use of the ZX2 S/R discs (which I may be swapping in)? Either way, a full driveline and engine swap is probably out of the scope of what i'm looking to do.
