So, I had this idea to use the concept of the dyson bladeless fan for racecar aero. Instead of putting the fan in the base, it would be fed by the exhaust through both sides. Then it could use the diverted laminar flow to point at an airfoil or fill the low pressure zone in the wake of the car.

Yeah, because bigass empty rings are so easy to blend in the car's aero.
Plus I don't really know if such a concept would work if air is already being pushed through the ring.

>>16085786
pls provide calculamations on how much exhaust gases you'd need for this to have any noticeable effect at high speeds

The hood on my mid 2000's crown vic is peeling. Is sanding it down to primer and then painting it flat black a decent option?
Fuck you, /o/. Probably tell me to get a miata or S2k

What ever you do, do not paint over any old paint. You will regret it a year down the line when all the old paint decides it's time to start coming off again.

ive seen alot of these in manual in ontario for not that much. Suprsing to say the least

Manuals are rare as fuck for the 540i but for 14k?
I can get a Dinan e34 540i for a 1/3 of the price I just found

>For 14 fucking grand. What?
They're not that easy to find in the first place. With that mileage and manual, that's a pretty damn good price these days.

kill me /o/, it's over.
>ordered a fuck ton of suspension parts for my car, some in a group buy and some directly
>parts start coming in week by week with majority of parts coming in in december
>decided to put in the new swaybars today seeing as it's an easy job, get it apart, back together, and get ready to torque it all down and take it out for a test run
>get to the last two nuts, factory service manual says 80-94 ft-lbs so I bust out my torque wrench and set it to 80
>torque down first one until it clicks, move on to next
>five or so turns in there's a loud crack and the stud shears itself and just flies off
>mfw nissan doesn't sell the studs seperately, it's all one part
>mfw the part was part of the suspension components I ordered but it's scheduled to come in late december
>mfw I have to garage my daily for two months
on top of that I discovered that my transmission was leaking really badly, that explains the grinding noise I was having for the past week. guess I'm going to be commuting by moped for 8 weeks. feel like such a huge fucking idiot, and the only thing that makes it worse was that I sheared off the exact same stud off the exact same part almost exactly a year ago when I was installing polyurethane bushings.

Go to a junkyard and take one off of a wrecked car.
>>
>>16085346
Who gives a fuck? Just disconnect the sway bar and don't drive like a dipshit. It's not the end of the world.
>>
>>16085362
Also if you sheared off a bolt at 80 lb ft, you're using completely shit bolts, or there's something terrible wrong with how you're torqueing them.

Sorry I can't help you, but what is Comox like? I really want to get posted there. Are there twisty mountain roads?
>>
Turbo rwd manual for less than $2k in real money money you're questioning it?
>>
>>16084992
i havent driven there a lot but there are some nice backrounds yeah, not in comox its self but pretty close, cumberland, forbidden plateau, etc. roads are pretty empty at night, its mostly old people and kids that live there.
the town itsself is nice, not much to do but its nice and quiet. lots of windsurfing, hiking, kayaking etc. if youre into more outdoor stuff.
fair warning though comox full of fucking deer everywhere they just sleep in peoples yards and shit, its ridiculous. you have to watch out for those fuckers even in downtown. the old people like to feed them and shit and theres no wolves around.

The car only has minor damage and I'm ok, but I've never felt so disheartened about driving until now. Am I even good enough for RWD? Should I just sell my car after I fix it? Pic related isn't my car btw.

What do you mean he pulled you out by the tire? Like strapped a rope through the rim and pulled you? If that's the case your alignments probably fucked and some parts may be bent/broken even
Well this is Hyundai's luxury brand the Genesis
wonder how the G90 will do....

Solar roofs that look better than a normal roof, generate electricity, last longer, have better insulation and actually have an installed cost that is less than a normal roof plus the cost of electricity," Musk told a small crowd gathered at the faux block party. "Why would you buy anything else?

Musk demonstrated the durability of the solar glass tiles with a video showing a Tesla roof tile taking a hit from a weight dropped from above. The tile cracks but does not shatter into shards like other conventional roofing tiles. No mention was made of the price, electricity generation capability of each tile or insulation value.
