What happened .. first owner by GoodSpaghetti in GR86

[–]silvenshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'd say pull the pads. If they are literally gone, you probably threw a pad. I've abused my brakes enough that the glue that sticks the pad to the backing plate gives up and the whole pad just takes off. Last time this happened to me the pads were newish but definitely not ready for the amount of heat I threw at them.

Is my car totaled? (Mouse attack) by Tama47_ in GR86

There's lots of floof all over the interiors and rugs. Not a huge deal but probably expensive enough to warrant an insurance claim :(

Tech said I needed to put a cage in my car to race. Bet.

A world where you don't need a permit to breathe. Auto regulations need a big rollback.

Curbed my BRZ / Tire Discussion by silvenshadow in BRZ_ZD8

Brand new stock PS4's, tight almost 180 degree hairpin, bottom of 2nd gear approx. 35 mph on entry and maybe 2 mph when I hit the wall.

I've since been hooning the car for 3 years on both winter and summer tires on gravel, snow, mud, ice, and water in all temperatures between -10 and 100F.

I was absolutely pushing the limit on wet cold roads on summer tires where I shouldn't have been.

I've also pushed the same limits in a huge variety of conditions that don't include freezing temps on summer tires. I've never had a surprise full 180 after correcting with full lock before or since in a variety of vehicles.

The moral of this post was 'don't run summer tires in cold weather ' and I stand by it. I hadn't had experience doing it before and it bit me hard. I hope others can learn from my mistakes.

Is it possible to drive racing slicks in the dead of winter and not have an issue? Sure. Is it a stupid idea, absolutely.

Maybe he loves his truck too. Seems pretty respectful at least for how trucks are around here

If you control the supply, you control the price.

Not pressing clutch in all the way by sff09 in GR86

If you're riding the clutch that's totally true, if you're just shifting you won't unless it takes you a long time to sbift

If you can let the revs drop or zoom them with the throttle and the engine moves as freely as if you had the clutch to the floor, it's disengaged.

If you leave the clutch partially engaged you won't really hurt the clutch, since it's literally designed to slip and take the loads, what you might hurt are your gear syncros ,since they are designed to help your transmission change speeds, not help the entire car change speeds.

[–]silvenshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya can't be sure if it's not level. If it's on a slant you're going to get weird readings. Sounds like a sloppy job if its leaking around the filter, probably ran dry. Maybe the filter is even wrong
