You've got to be hitting limits based on the pure tensile strength of metals at that scale, right?

I don't know what would win in a race to destroy a 30-year-old Italian car: rust, or a full-fledged electrical fire. I honestly don't. It's nice to see one kept up, though.

I love it when an expensive car is actually used. Suck it, garage-queen Corvettes with 200 miles on them. This motherfucker just took an Enzo out in the mud and did donuts.

Everyone has to do a trip like that once. I took my 2009 Royal Enfield from Lewiston, ID to Las Vegas, NV. Never again, but I'm glad I did it.

Gorilla glass is glass submersed in molten potassium salts. The lighter sodium ions exchange out for heavier/bigger potassium ions. When the glass cools and contracts, this "presses" the surface together, making it tough. Think of it like stretching a nylon net open and then placing it on a bed of grass, then contracting it. The grass gets "stuck" in the holes, making the net (comparatively) tougher. This compression in (usually just) the surface of the glass compared to the comparative lack of compression more atoms deeper is also why gorilla glass (or any toughened glass, really) fails so spectacularly when it eventually does. It's under constant compressive tension. Sapphire is still better, though. It is about eight times harder than normal borosilicate glass, and four times harder than quartz glass. Before I threw my life away and joined the NG I was an optician, and glass and plastics continue to be a hobby. Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Mar 26, 2013 |

Yeah, but I think a round on a super-technical dirt track would be fun to do once. You either slow down or total the car.

MetaJew posted:Is there some indication on each wheel on setting the torque of the center-locking nut? What is marking on the center lock that says "100 N-m ------ Stop" and how is it used? You torque it to 100N-m, then mark the position of the arrow. Then you tighten it up to the stop point. It's similar to head bolts, where you do like 25ft-lbs, then 1/2 turn more.

A guy in Idaho found that original trailer. They only ever made two. https://youtu.be/SpwH9WeVEfU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwH9WeVEfU Unfortunately he sold it to a Utah VW shop and it's just languished untouched for a few years  Also that trailer had better have electric brakes.

Falken posted:They also left the engines to the elements and supposedly urinated on them. I think the urinating part is apocryphal, but there's a reason they used high-mileage blocks exposed to the elements. They wanted the best-of-the-best. High mileage blocks that went through surface attacks in the weather and survived daily driver status without cracking or having uneven corrosion patterns were proven good castings. No voids, or shearing along the crystal grain structure. Hopefully by 400k km, the blocks that have failed already would have. "Hey, BMW Motorrad. We want the best racing team, and the best engine. You can have all the machinery and parts you want." "Can we open a dedicated factory line for the engine?" "Anything you want except production floorspace." "Okay."

I maintain that this is car poo poo A $200 3D printer (Wanhao i3), maybe $100 in filament (WYZ brand ABS is what I'd recommend - you just need the different colors and will end up with extra), and maybe $40-50 in bearings/fasteners. Worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ibIXaNXtqQ

Because I have some extra filament and a printer. What temperature does your flowbench get to? ABS starts softening at around 200C.
