Would the same be said of the ppl in the EPA who prevent me from being able to buy an ultra high mpg diesel car from germany that would save the environment from climate change? Would their deaths be justified too?
>>29111499>epa makes attempts to control itUntil schlomo goldbergenstein pays them a tidy sum
>>29111500the same happens among car companies too though. turns out the us epa is just very ineffective in general but applies what few efforts it makes broadly
>>29111241>Chat gpt said

>>29109290damn. jb weld gave up again lol. ended up spot welding it and that worked great, was paranoid that it'd wreck the diaphragm inside but nope.setting timing to 18 initial + 18 mechanical + 18 vac for total of 54 degrees seems like it'll still eventually overheat on the highway, but cruising on surface streets at lower speeds will cool it right down
>>29109646Lol, unless I have been living under a rock and this is a well known clip, how do people even find stuff like this. It's still a cute car bit now I will look at it diverently if I see it again.
>>29111354Amarcord (its Rimini accent for the Italian phrase “Mi Ricordo” - I remember) is a famous film from Federico Fellini and composed of vignettes based on his youth growing up under Mussolini’s regime. That part where they masturbate together inside a Fiat is likely something the director did with his friends in high school, I imagine.

The daily is broken again. Plastic charge pipe cracked. Ordered a replacement from idparts, won't be here till Tuesday. Found another small boost leak at the lower smic clamp, believe I fixed it. I planned on doing calipers/rotors/pads/soft lines/parking brake adjustment/ac compressor this weekend but it'll have to wait.

This actually worked for me - I just ignored the engine light and it stopped coming on. I have 2000 Taco and suspect I have a lose whire in the harness somewhere, how expensive would it be to replace the wiring harness? I figure with all the vibrations after 450,000 miles its seems reasonable that it would need fixing. Also, my front turn signa buld occassionally does not work, so again I suspect the wiring.
>>29111008It would be far cheaper to buy a reader and see why your CEL came on in the first place.You could just start replacing parts if you want I guess.
>>29109648I did consider that angle, biting the bullet on it. I guess I'm just worried about getting trapped with a sunk cost fallacy. I just can't even begin to estimate the cost of the other repairs that might be required to get it back in full working order. My thoughts were more to hand it over to a dealer who has more ready access to expertise and parts than I do, and thus make it more valuable to them. This, at the same time, gives me access to something with less miles and potentially easier access to parts when whatever systems eventually fail in the newer vehicle.

>biggest bang for buck tires in the world right nowWhat's stopping /o/ from slapping some linglongs onto the daily drive shitbox?
>>29110733I've seen brands come and go (e.g.: metzeler, vredestein used to be fairly common, for winter tires; haven't seen them in a long while); never had heard about those though.
>>29111506Vredestein Wintrac Pro is still the best Winter Performance Tire unless you want to throw money at Micheline Pilot Alpin 5s.
>>29111503You're claiming a symptom (increased contact patch) as the cause.>it's the increasing of contact patch (regardless of tire pressure) that reduces ground pressureIf you increase vehicle weight, you will increase the contact patch. But your ground pressure will not go down.It's true that Contact Patch is a variable in the equation Contact Patch = Weight / Tire Pressure but Contact Patch is always the dependent variable, you can't adjust it independently. You can make the axle weight higher or lower and you add air or let air out of the tires but you can't put on a wider or narrower tire and get a different contact patch size, you have to change either the tire pressure or the weight.And the ground pressure must be equal to the tire pressure or the unbalanced forces would raise or lower the car, decreasing or increasing the size of the contact patch, until they equalize.
>>29111743Retard, if you increase the vehicle weight, ground pressure will obviously not go down; it'll go UP, instead...I'm done with all the retardation here lol
You deny that ground pressure equals tire pressure but we're the retards. Bye!
JLR allow access to all parts diagrams, numbers, and prices for free for all cars 10 years or older. Why can't other manufacturers do this?They even allow you to V8 swap older cars.https://www.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/brand/key/jaguar/>inb4 Customers would simply look up part numbers and buy off Rock Auto etc and manufacturers would lose moneyThe main reason people buy off Rock Auto/Autozone is because they don't know that OEM is barely more expensive
NOOOO THATS MY HECKIN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, I NEED THE ROYALTIES!!!!!
>>29110344epc-data.com is great for jap cars, for toyotas they cover all the older models but newer ones can be harder to find. amayama seems to be intertwined with them, and they themselves have newer models but I feel their catalogues are a bit less user-friendly, or at least the UI isn't as nice.epc-data also finally fixed hovering over parts not highlighting the correct item in the list and vice versa too, some time last year or the year before. was a problem for years lol.

>Press fit spark plugs
>>29107586>cylinder head mounts with through bolts to crankcase, sandwiched between them is a plastic block where the cylinders and water jacket liveDon't worry they have .002" of sprayed on cylinder wall lining. Also the connecting rods are fiber reinforced plastic, and it has a wet timing belt on the transmission side of the engine.
>>29109557Still better than the PRV v6
>>29109490I think people missed the point of the thread. The worst idead YOU can come up with. Not ideas already implemented. Unless... we're just out of new ideas.
>>29108088Mine didn't make any noise but would just slip and lmao no oil pressure. I got pretty good at killing it and coasting to a good place.I am the nth owner of a well beaten ranger so maybe it got past the noisy stage.
>>29107994the bearing was greased but not sealed in the m96s. that grease would wash away from the oil that flowed through it, which would cause the bearing to fail, since the oil that made it through the bearing would be enough to wash away the grease but not enough to lubricate the bearing.

>>29109248>He's not using GPT6 or OPUS5.5 to vibe engineer his supercar design >I am white.
>>29109248>All you need is a welder and a bridgeport mill and a lathe anon.And welding wire, welding gas, different welders like a TIG and a MIG, shop with appropriate power outlets, gear associated with welding like mask + lens, gloves, leather jacket, fume extractor, clamps, levels, measuring and layout tools, and the space to store all of it. Not to mention that the mill and lathe each need tooling and inserts/blanks that need to be changed, sharpened, which means a good bench grinder, a good DRO, chip cleaning equipment, different size and style of chucks, rests, fixtures, vises(vices?), and a toolbox with hand tools as well. Oh and of course you'll need inside and outside micrometers of various sizes, bore gauges, a set of at least 0-8 inch dial calipers, a height gauge, a sine gauge, a finger gauge, surface finish measuring equipment, and possibly even a CMM. This is assuming you won't be doing any inhouse heat treatment or any plastic or any engine work btw. And this does not include the materials price (very expensive in the big soon to be 27)
