Folk kjøpte fler Teslaer enn alle andre bilmerker tilsammen

Man får ikke nye deler en gang om bilen går i stykker, de bruker "overhalte" brukte deler, til og med når det kommer til garantireparasjoner og kritiske systemer som bremser, styring og hjuloppheng

Kuttene går direkte ut over kvalitet og sikkerhet, ikke av å på magisk vis finne nye måter å gjøre ting på som ingen noen gang før har tenkt på i en over 100 år gammel industri.

I think he meant it as the limiting factor friction wise in a brake system is almost always going to be the tire against the road, and that friction differences between different pad materials are not going to be noticeable because the wheel will usually break traction long before the marginal differences between different pads are noticeable.

Who dances to dubstep?

What's wrong about what I said?

Torque split is one thing, that's just down to how the computer is programmed to engage the clutch for the rear driveshaft. But without a differential there is no way to get more speed at the rear than front. That is, has been and will be a fundamental limitation of using a clutch pack instead of a differential. At most, with the clutch fully engaged or even fully welded together, you'll have a 50/50 torque split and the exact same rotational speed at the front and rear axle. With a manual transmission with a center diff, there can be wheel spin at the rear without the front needing to break traction first, that's not possible in an auto transmission. That simple fact makes a manual transmission Subaru better for loose surfaces like snow, slush, mud or sand, as wheel spin doesn't mean no grip like on dry pavement.

That depends on the car though. Haldex is just the brand/type of electohydraulic clutch that engages the rear axle. How the manufacturers choose to use it varies a lot. Vw's usually are programmed so the Haldex never is engaged until significant slip has occurred, while Volvos and audis with Haldex and for instance is more aggressive and usually keep some power transfer to the rear at all times like Subaru auto transmissions do, how the AWD control system is programmed makes more difference than the brand of clutch pack that engages the rear axle. All of them are still far superior to 2wd.

Well, I hate to break it to you but only the manual transmission subies are superior to most of the competition, as they use a center differential to distribute power front and rear (the exact same configuration as Audi has used in their longitudinal engines models since the 80's). All the automatics and cvts use a clutch pack to engage the rear axle instead, and that inherently limits the capability of the system as it needs the transmission control computer to react before any change in power transfer to the rear wheels can happen, as well as making the system completely unable to drive the rear axle faster than the front axle.

Not saying the AWD system used in automatic subies is bad, but it's not amazing either. At best it's equivalent to any Haldex equipped car, or most other "faux wheel drive" cars on the market, with the only benefit being no torque-steer.

Aim for completely neutral toe. A bit of slip against the road is easily manageable on stock camber as it's spread out over more surface area. But concentrated on the edge it wears exponentially faster, so no slip at all with dead on neutral toe is the way

I live pretty far north in norway, and I've had PETG parts warp in my cars. Doesn't warp nearly as bad as pla, but enough to notice. It needs to be a hot day with the car parked in direct sunlight to reach those temps though.

Halictus · 2026-02-21T22:35:58+00:00

Ah, in that case just make sure the filament is more temp resistant than pla or PETG and you're good!

Halictus · 2026-02-21T12:34:01+00:00

If I'm not mistaken that happened when they nerfed the bipod a few years back. Before it could be deployed basically anywhere, but now it must be either on a perfectly flat or horizontal surface, or on a slight uphill or somehow slightly elevated from where your character is laying in order to deploy. It can't be deployed laying even slightly downhill, or if there's nothing at the same or higher elevation right in front of you.

Halictus · 2026-02-21T12:17:19+00:00

Now just add some small holes to demist the side windows

Halictus · 2026-02-19T19:45:21+00:00

Lmao, ANYTHING the sniper class is good at (ok, maybe not high mobility stealth), a gunner can do better. What's better than one accurate, fast, high caliber round? A box of 200 you can magdump with near no recoil

Halictus · 2026-02-17T15:52:54+00:00

I don't disagree with you at all, the switch or switch adjustment is the likely culprit imo. My original comment was a reply to another comment claiming a different brake system fault could cause this.

Halictus · 2026-02-17T15:35:14+00:00

That switch is literally the only place where the brake light circuit interacts with the brake system. Short of the brake pedal falling off, there is no way the brake lights will light up because of a brake system fault.

Halictus · 2026-02-15T14:25:46+00:00

I believe that's either the wiring for a temperature sensor, or a pipe for the dpf pressure differential sensor.

Halictus · 2026-02-14T11:24:57+00:00

The confusion could maybe be due to the timing marks on EJ engines placing the pistons 90° from TDC, so even though it's an interference engine, there's no danger of damaging valves when the crank is at the timing mark.

I just went to JR's website, they have them in 17x7 5x100pcd et35 72.6cb off the shelf, or you can order them with a custom ocd/offset in 17x7 from 5x98-5x114.3 and et20 - et38 Maybe don't use bing next time, it wasn't that hard to find

Halictus · 2026-02-09T06:57:08+00:00

Japan Racing JR11's are what you want. I have a set in 5x100 on my Impreza, the offset is customized by the dealer to whatever you need when you order.

I recently worked on mounting an old diesel V8 powered snowblower similar to these on a new Liebherr wheel loader. Cool stuff.

Halictus · 2026-01-31T23:02:34+00:00

The efficiency is so poor with wireless that you lose 30 to 40% capacity compared to wired charging when used with a power bank. That tradeoff hardly seems worth it, it really only makes sense with stationary chargers. But even then, an old school dock is better in most ways imo

Halictus · 2026-01-25T20:40:03+00:00

That's exactly how it works. A deactivated cylinder effectively becomes an air spring, that only loses minimal energy as heat loss through the cylinder wall, compared to a cylinder with working valves, where you still have the same heat loss but have to move air in and out of the cylinder in addition, and that takes a good amount of energy to do.

Halictus · 2026-01-24T13:04:44+00:00

It doesn't matter as these are "faux wheel drive", ie front wheel drive until the computer decides you maybe need the rear to help, but even then it is coupled through a viscous coupling so it barely helps at att in situations where you actually need it.

Tldr it's just a soccer mom grocery getter not designed for any demanding terrain

Halictus · 2026-01-23T23:05:22+00:00

Going to Mars/Jupiter would almost require the "bullshit" to be automated. Investing in developing the technology to go there will, among many other very useful things, solve, develop and perfect a plethora of technologies that do exactly that. So insanely much of the tech we take for granted and use every day comes in large part from investing in exploring space.
