orange lime posted:I sat in an H2 once at an auto show. It has the worst visibility of basically any vehicle I've ever been in, and I've sat in the cockpit of a space shuttle. I literally could not see anything less than two feet tall within maybe 5 feet of the car in any direction -- absolutely the best way to run over toddlers. I also believe it has less usable interior space than my 1997 Escort station wagon. It was just a thoroughly unpleasant experience. Same here. I was shocked how such a huge vehicle could be so cramped. I tried the h3 too. I say tried because just getting in i bashed my knee into the side of the dashboard. The MINI coopers? much roomier

ExecuDork posted:A few years ago, a friend's father decided to show off his shiny F150 (this would be about a 2000 or 2001). He picked up the gravel to go under the rear deck. The second bucket-load into the bed didn't compress the springs at all, just the tires. I remember flooring contractor guys sending their underlings to my store with their F150s. The would take maybe one pallet max of tiles to bottom out. it was a trip watching the truck slowly. bottom. out. then watch the sidewalls start to flatten. Just one load of tile would do it. my buddy's 2500 cummins wouldnt even touch the bumps. Proper truck that was. Gears

James Woods posted:What "Peak Oil fanatics" tend to point out is that the problem is not us running out of oil, the problem is when supply cannot reach demand. Oil will still be in the ground long after we've finished fighting over it because we will eventually reach a point where extracting that oil grants a zero percent net energy return. Scarcity of oil alone is a terrifying prospect for our civilization considering our fuel, electrical energy, and plastics all come from oil and even our mutant agricrops need a petroleum based product to even survive the next season. I work in the exploration industry. You're full of poo poo where bolded.

nitrogen posted:It sounds like one of the cylinders keeps missing, or do they always sound like that? They always sound like that because it has an off/on ignition system. So the speed of the engine is regulated by the ignition system's duty cycle. In the Camel I believe there are two ignition systems. One for WOT and one for less than WOT. Engine management is accomplished by switching back and forth between the two while in flight

bolind posted:Newer BMW diesels have "swirl flaps" that look similar, with the same problem. The most horrific story I heard was the little screws coming off and taking out the piston and valves, then the turbo and as a grand finale the cat. (Or maybe it was an ever incresing avalanche of fragments, probably that.) The E46 also has something like that. The DISA valve can start rattling, and you'd better change it before the screw falls out and gets sucked into the intake....

All they have left is to hijack discussions on interesting topics in an attempt to "win over" people who don't loving care. Thank you

Luckily the machinist on the Mazak next to him knew what to do and e-stopped the machine because I sure as gently caress didn't know what to do. I hate to this day that I froze like that in a serious emergency. I took him to the hospital and the guy was crying in my car telling me he thought he was going to die. He looked beat to poo poo and bruised the next day but luckily he didn't lose any pieces.

My Dad had a diesel grand cherokee... What a pile that thing was. The interior was made of the packaging other interiors come in, it was slow as poo poo and passing others on a 2 lane country road was dicey as gently caress since that engine/tranny combo didn't realize where the powerband on a diesel was. He followed that up with a diesel X5, that one had so many issues they lemon lawed it and got another diesel X5. That one waited for 90,000 miles before it said it wasn't going to start in 200 miles because something was wrong with it's piss tank. That was about $3000 to fix at BMW. Now they have a 2015 subaru outback 3.6R, what a loving hoss that car is. In summary, gently caress diesel SUVs, subie all day nigga (cummins rams are still the poo poo) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

veedubfreak posted:A question to all the people who have had issues with their VAG products. Did you buy the vehicle new or used? I have owned 3 watercooled VWs over the past 18 years, and the only 1 that was a solid piece of poo poo was the 95 Jetta stripper model that came from Mexico. My dad's 98 Passat (German made) had no issues either. VW's actually need to be maintained, my guess is you're all just buying cars with lovely previous owners. My parents bought a 1993 Cabriolet (Rabbit convertible, red with white top, white leatherette interior) in 1995. I think that car was either the last year they built them in Germany, or the first year they were built in Mexico. Anyway, the passenger side door card fell off, the top interior tore, the head was improperly torqued from the factory so it was weeping coolant down the front of the block, and then at about 20,000 miles, the oil pump failed. How the hell? I think a lot of the issues came from that car sitting on the lot for two years before being sold, honestly. It was a really fun car and looked great, it just had a lot of issues. It replaced a 1991 Ford escort that only needed its throttle cable lubricated because it was sticking.

kastein posted:Yup. That's looking through the window in my office into the shop where we build stuff. I've got a bridgeport, a crummy HF lathe (probably bringing my southbend model 1 to work when I clean it up), a beater drill press, my Clausing drill press, hell we even have a 750hp two wheel dyno now. I wish I could take pics of some of the poo poo we've blown up on the dyno but it's not allowed, company policy. From where I'm at, I can see my ebeam machine (by Sciaky of chicago), a couple 5 axis deckels, two huge mv360's, two presses, pressure testing, and a gigantic cnc lathe. Around the corner there's another couple deckels, a bigass OKK vertical, a couple more bigass samsungs, and the best weld shop in Houston, along with laser overlay shop. And that's just the building I'm in. There are 7 buildings, and 5 of them have even more stuff  Our shop makes the most money for the parent company, and even we are hurting really bad. Only 10 of us on OT today, used to be 200 guys, down to maybe 100. Oil needs to loving rally already, I miss my buds. I'd love to make a photo tour on here too, but that's not allowed.
