Israel also has the blue/orange plates.

cool...kinda like an in-board brake system...must have been a pain to service.

haven't come across factory hydraulic e-brakes yet...but anything is possible.

hmm...it's an easy procedure to disengage the e-brake from the wheel on the ground and only have it apply to the one in the air...can be done from within the cabin even...helps with RWD...can't say it's too good for your diff to be sending all the power to only one axle for extended periods of time....on FWD an…

photo time...the parking pawl locks the output shaft of the transmission which is also the input of the diff (who would have thought). This is the red shaft. When that gets locked, the ring gear(blue) is also locked. So when one tire spins, power goes through the axle shaft into the sun gear(green). Since the ring…

Wouldn't you be leaking differential fluid through the open socket? I guess you can jam a plug made out of an old half-shaft...either case you need to modify the car...

If you don't mind, would you explain to me how park works in an automatic transmission?...because I have hands on experience of this along with dozens of forum threads that say pretty much the same as what I have been saying.

end result being that if you jack up both drive wheels with the vehicle in park and spin one side (which it does with very little force) the opposite wheel will spin in the counter-direction*...I assume you can push a car in park if there is only one axle, since there is not counter action holding it in place...**

could be...as long as they remember to release it before landing...could be a nasty weight shift.

welded/locking would spin the wheel in the air along with the ground wheel...Rx_37 suggested making it a one wheel drive....doesn't seem practical to have to modify...also you would no longer have a PARK gear in your transmission since all that does is set your drive wheels to rotate in opposite directions via the…

um...I have to refresh my knowledge on differentials...I understand them taking off the wheel on the non-drive axle but how do they do it on the driven axle? the only why I can think of is if the car is in neutral...but in that case they seem so be rolling quite a distance without any power...some combination of…

about $1450 all in including add ons.

older camries are great...it's only the 2001 < models that I destain...from 91' till 2000 they were mid-size comfy cars that had trouble dying...also had a classic shape....can't stand the bug eyed models 01-06...

most likely the tint is holding up the glass cubes...but I do remember reading that the higher end cars have laminate, I think this would qualify.

Can't do anything that annoys me...but here it goes...

try a old credit card/ hotel room key...might be more resilient.

I go to a convention every year where the hotel had these in the guest rooms...didn't really find them more or less comfy then a $50 chair...although I could see sweat ventilation coming into play...my office is the driver seat out out of a older camry (when they where still über comfy) mounted on the hydraulics and…

I have a friend who had hip surgery while he was in grade school and he had a ip webcam and tv set in the classroom connected to a unit in his house when he was on bedrest...he also had his game console in the Picture in Picture during classtime....this is going back about 10 years.

Had a similar thing happen to me with a lawn tracter...carb needle wouldn't seat right and when it would rest for a week or two the gas would leak into the cylinder. When you would crank it the cylinder would pump the gas out through the exhaust. Well one time the spray of gas ignited while I was starting the tractor…
