Nah, they just drop down when the seal goes.

Lesson to anyone else trying to help Darwin out - the Axle/Jack stands go under the car before your body, you don’t climb under there before they’re under, ever.
If you don’t have stands then shove the wheel and tyre under the sill. Then go and buy some stands, use them, and then get under.

Drag racers use ANTI squat to promote weight transfer by using the force of lifting the rear of the car to generate an equal and opposite force downwards at the contact patch. But it only works for the split second the chassis is moving in pitch.
Anti dive at the front would generate more force when you hit the…

Pros: The tyres slide everywhere.
Cons: The tyres slide, everywhere.

Why would you increase rear bias? You’re just going to lock 2 wheels that are dangling in the air. Or lock them before that and slide sideways off the road anyway because most of the weight is up front.

More anti dive won’t stop the weight transfer, that’s a purely wheelbase and CoG related issue. Releasing the front brakes as a workaround is a poor hash as that means the car isn’t stopping as quickly as it could in an emergency.

Not really, the car will rotate around the centreline of the axle regardless.

That’s a high centre of gravity. On account of fat human sat on top.

Nothing to do with it, overall weight transfer is barely affected by suspension stiffness,

This, weight distribution, CoG height and wheelbase are the issues, not the hydraulics - well, you could reduce front brake pressure with a limiting device but all that would mean is the car wouldn’t stop as well...

Because nothing short of total annihilation will stop a Hilux.
Even then, you better cut the remains up and bury them, otherwise, one night, years from now, you’ll be in bed sleeping peacefully - and suddenly the window will light up from the one remaining bulb it has left...

Or leaky engines, transfer boxes, swivel joints or corroded bodywork.....in fact, can I just have the mud, water and swap the defender for a nice lady?

They should do this in a Mustang, for extra excitement in case the guest is boring.

It’s incredibly easy to flip a car, all it needs is something to lift it at the right angle that the opposite wheels dig in rather than sliding. Putting those wheels against a kerb or a rut will do it too. I’ve seen Safari cars turn over at less than walking speed just because the outside wheel caught a small rut at…

You’re going to avoid a lot more when you realise every other driver is a dumbass.

Can we not have some sort of sting operation set up so that anyone who walks into a dealership to buy a Mustang immediately has their driving licence revoked?

I honestly think the best bit of this would be when you meet that one smug replica owner who starts pointing out all the bits on his car that are done better than yours. That would be priceless.

The only issue of course is he might be right if he’s talking about build quality...

And that’s the point, it gets sold whether they like it or not, but they make nothing on it the second way.

Makes you think the manufacturers would be better off just selling the build catalog for their car with all this already in it for half a mil a copy and cut out the middle man.

You cut your nose of to spite your face. It’s one of the best driving games ever released.
