First, even on a suspended seat you’d feel vibration through the steering wheel, pedals, and everything in your car that would fly around and rattle. But body motion isn’t just about ride.

The clutch is what keeps the hydraulic coupler locked. When the clutch slips, the engine can rev and spin the coupler at a different rate than the output - think like when you’re getting started moving with a traditional automatic transmission.

If your block is a 150 mile perimeter.

When you’re right, you’re so right.

It’s not the lift, it’s the wheels (and probably spacers to make them fit). Having them further out like that probably more than doubles the bending moment on those tie rods.

That’ll teach him to consider the effects of wheel selection on scrub radius. Probably. Not really, actually.

I love this project, but watching those front shocks bottom out hurts my soul.

Lift by a mile.

If it’s a rotary and the motor is here, what’s happening with the other three feet up front?

Since Business Insider didn’t post a source with their video, could someone explain this to me:

Yeah, cause it’s so much better to stay on the throttle so you stay straight and hit the truck at twice the speed.

Really? I think it’s so cool that they could crunch data on me, and find places or events nearby that I’d be likely to enjoy based on my search history.

I really appreciate your response as numbers, that’s an interesting perspective.

I love the laws here. Smog laws keep commuters in heavily restricted cars that keep the air clean, and in the meantime I get to do whatever I want with my pre-75 and never be subjected to inspections of any kind. DON’T ROCK THE BOAT.

Most undocumented workers don’t make enough money to pay any income tax anyway. What actually happens is that they end up paying sale taxes, including gas tax, and not being eligible for Medicaid or any other programs that would be state expenses for documented workers.

They shouldn’t be under bending, just axial load and toraion. How would you get a moment with U joints on each end?

I’m so sick of hearing this misconception. Power is the rate at which torque is applied. You apply torque at the wheels, not the crankshaft. If your motor makes 100lb-ft at 3500 rpm (lets call it 30mph in second gear) and 100lb-ft at 7000 rpm (60mph in second gear) you’re still applying the same torque to the ground,…

How, when a scale would cost about $20, are we not living in an era where recipes are by mass? Incomprehensible to me.

Moore’s law seems to work against auto manufacturers - in the 8 years (at least) that I’d like to get out of a new car, my phone/laptop will become 16 times faster, and roughly 16 times more capable. In other words, whatever tech gets baked into a car quickly falls behind the times.

That's like saying, "With every car on the planet weighing more than 3500 pounds, the Miata will be plenty lightweight if it weighs 3200."
