pacheco posted:Wasn't there a post somewhere on the forums where a guy was doing some hot welding and used brake cleaner before welding. One time he didn't let the cleaner evaporate and started welding ontop of it and he inhaled a bit of the fumes. Few days later he had major liver and kidney damage as well as severely incapacitated, all due to him inhaling just a bit. Yep. Apparently that poo poo turns into phosgene when burned at a certain temp. or something. http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm

Motronic posted:R-12 and R-22 also decompose into phosgene when burned. They teach you to be careful around that poo poo in fire school. Car fires are so routine and easy to back away from you get tempted to not bother with the SCBA. Until you remember the whole phosgene thing. I will certainly remember that, because I did not know that until now.

Lowclock posted:You can't even buy chlorinated brake cleaner in a lot of states anymore, and most parts stores don't even carry it in the states that do. It's not really a thing to worry about anymore. I have no problem getting it at any of the parts stores here in LOUISIANA. Does the chlorinated stuff work any better than the non-chlorinated?

What's the best way to clean up after you've stripped your paint with that? The previous owner painted my e30 like 3 different colors, so I need to fully strip it and bring it to a shop to get painted. This poo poo makes it looks like a pretty easy job. I'll make sure to shut the garage door while I'm in it during this process.

 This happened to an S2000 at a local autocross: Lower ball joint screw backed out and then sheared off at the cotter pin holes. Lower control arm dropped down, contacted the inside of the rim, and then acted like a lathe bit, cutting the wheel in half.

PainterofCrap posted:I cannot put together what the hell happened. He hit something? Looks like both steers just blew simultaneously... Major design flaw if you ask me... and I thought they were supposed to be tethered so full separation like that couldn't even happen. I remember that race pretty vividly and my reaction was just *jaw drop*.
