out of a HDD?,,,man I am taking apart the wrong ones...mine are like an 1/8 inch thick and about an inch and a half of surface area...

yes Neodymium magnets are insanely powerful and not to be taken lightly but only the larger ones...I haven't come across any that's been in a HDD that's large enough to couse concern of appendage crushing.

ha...

great in a hot climate...but in one that gets pretty nippy the plastic gets brittle and cracks with even a small impact.

You are right, on the way to class I checked the parking lot to see if the wiki photo was current, you would see the large IL and flag in the blue area in the stock photo if it was an Israel plate.

always loved the message in this one.

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…

What gun is this?...it looks like one of the LMG's (tripod and carrying handle) yet there a scope and he has the butt against his shoulder assault rifle style.

about $1450 all in including add ons.
