TotalLossBrain posted:I mean...I drive a '16 Corolla Sport Edition - which lets you paddle-shift your way through the CVT range. Why bother with this? All automatics have some kind of way to hold gears, for towing trailers up the Rockies and poo poo. That was the "L-1-2-OD lockout" business on ye old 4 speed Hydramatic. I think it's mandated by FMVSS? ANyway if you have that on the CVT then adding paddles is basically just another box on the spec sheet for $2.50 in parts.

slidebite posted:That T-bird is exactly my poo poo, other than those stupid automatic shoulder belts. Yep. Not sure if it is this thread or another where I said I lusted for this exact same car back in the day. When I was young, used to hit up dealer lots after hours and just look around thinking "someday". And one dealer basically had this exact same car.

I think the only ones of those I've seen in the past 5 years have been parking behind random buildings, abandoned, dragging rear end. Didn't they have air suspension that always failed?

Not that the VIII is ugly or anything - I just like slightly boxy, I guess. opengl128 posted:I think the only ones of those I've seen in the past 5 years have been parking behind random buildings, abandoned, dragging rear end. Didn't they have air suspension that always failed? Continentals definitely do that, and probably VIIIs as well. It not so much that they always fail, but that airbags don’t wear out like springs. They’re all or nothing, at least insofar as the bag itself. They don’t gradually sag like steel springs. Also, electronics and an air compressor, so more to go wrong, and we all know how people tend to not maintain their cars, especially secondary owners of semi-luxury cars. My parents’ 90-something Expedition has rear air suspension, and had a slow leak. It was fine while driving, but let it sit for a bit and it was squatting like a making GBS threads dog.

Usually when the air suspension on a Mark VIII fails they don't drag rear end, the entire car drops. So it just looks like someone slammed the poo poo out of it. Personally, I prefer the pre-refresh Mark VIII.

Depends on what actually fails, I think. Pretty sure that the front and rear are on separate “channels”. That reminds me that I once saw one of the FWD Continentals with a completely failed air suspension on the road, bouncing along on the bump stops. Looked cool as hell that low, but obviously rode like a buckboard.

Godholio posted:Good, spare o-rings. 600ft test depth is only about 267psi, Hazard Fraught O rings will probably work fine in any seawater systems, although obv. Maybe source them through McMaster or.someone reputable. High Pressure Air is where O-rings test their mettle and you get into silicon rubbers and poo poo, I'd also be very concerned about a high-pressure-air rupture incapacitating you pretty much instantly in a volume that small. Any properly designed o-ring sealed seawater joint will also only leak an acceptable amount of water for recovery of the vessel, should the o-rings fail. E: another big issue is recertification of the pressure envelope, you'd need fancy equipment to do a reasonable pressure drop test, and you'd probably want to do ultrasonic testing of any and all welds on a regular basis, which is not cheap. Radiography of the welds would be even better, but that's even more not cheap. Elviscat fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Jul 10, 2020 |

super nailgun posted:File under "Ways to die as intriguing as they are viscerally terrifying" There's a lot of really spectacular Great Lakes shipwrecks within that depth range, you could make yourself a permanent addition to an archaelogical find. I suppose a major limitation of that thing is getting to dive sites that are far from shore, would you tow it? Research submarines that size are generally deployed from a ship with a crane on it.
