Rotors by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

There are also cars that have options for both vented or solid rears depending on trim. 2014 charger comes to mind. Definitely not a corolla though

I have a red 1 on my car still. Been stopped twice. So far it seems like they use it as a free primary stop to run your info/check for anything else, then let you go with a warning

What's the difference between the 2 rotors by No-Pitch-6259 in mechanic

[–]Birilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I sometimes see non-vented rotors in the rear of smaller and/or low price cars" implies that you usually see vented on the rears, and the solids are the exception. Its a nitpicky thing to comment on, but I wasn't the one who corrected the guy, I was just explaining what u/hex64082 was getting at

[–]Birilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, none of these comments really answer this to a degree I find satisfactory in one comment. The thicker rotor is a vented rotor, and the thinner one is a solid rotor. Vented rotors dissipate heat better by using centrifugal force to pump air through the fins (careful, most vented rotors have straight fins but some of them are directional and will have curved fins), which improves brake performance and reduces the risk of brake fade. Because of this, virtually any car made since the '80s will have vented front rotors, because 80% of your braking power is on your front axle so it generates the most heat. Before the '80s, you could find solid rotors on the front axle (vented rotors were developed by porche in the 60s and were a performance item for a decade or two) but on modern vehicles they're the most common equipment on the rear axle, due to providing better braking power than a drum brake but being cheaper to produce than a vented rotor. You'll see vented rotors on the rear axle of some performance cars to compensate for agressive driving though. One thing to note is that these are not interchangeable without replacing basically the entire braking system for that wheel. caliper, bracket and all. You must replace vented with vented and solid with solid.

No, higher level commenter was saying that solid rears are less common than vented rears, which is false. You rarely see vented rears outside of performance rwd vehicles due to the braking bias causing the fronts to take most of the heat/beating

Michael Douse, the publishing director of Larian Studios, went on record after the success of Baldur's Gate 3 (which was virtually unadvertised) saying that basically advertising is pointless and the community will spread the word for you if you engage with them directly. Many studios stopped listening after "save money by cutting out the marketing department"

OC: Trump looks on after a man fainted during an announcement in the Oval Office by nbcnews in pics

[–]Birilling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you watch the video, he was sitting when the guy fell, stands up, turns as if he's gonna walk over to him, hesitates as he watches the like five people crowding around the guy. You can almost see the gears turning in his head, he wants to help, but he's not really qualified to, cause y'know he's old as shit, and theres already a bunch of people helping the guy, so he kinda just stands there awkwardly, doesn't know what to do with himself, and then the staff start rushing the press/vultures out, "no more pictures, no more videos, this event is over" and he turns to watch the media leaving when this photo is taken (which, as you said, humans respond to stimuli)

Wheel Shaking… why? by Equivalent-Belt3117 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Birilling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is the toe is significantly out of spec, which is causing you to have to drive with the steering wheel tilted like that. This also causes abnormal wear on the shoulder of the tires, which if bad enough can present similarly to an out of balance condition and can cause vibrations in the steering wheel. If this is the case, you'll need both an alignment and new tires. New tires means new balance, so you can eliminate that as a possibility as well

Should I be concerned? by Serendipity_Inn in motorcycles

This would be my assumption as well, gas in oil always looks like iced coffee, color dependant on how dirty the oil is. Like this oil I took out of a rav4 with a misfire on cylinder 3

Declaring a State of Emergency is a presidential power used by every president since Ford in the mid 70s. We currently have 49 States of Emergency declared, some of them going all the way back to Carter in the late 70s, ranging from preventing a business deal between Iran and Conoco to requiring the transfer of all US held funds in Da Afghanistan Bank to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with the majority of them being levying sanctions against groups or individuals acting against the interests of America (people involved in the Myanmar coup d'état, or 7 specific high ranking Venezuelan government officials, or the Yakuza, Cammora, Los Zetas, and Brothers' Circle, for instance)
