I wouldn't say pushed to the limit, I'd just say getting the RPM up high enough for the oil pressure relief valve to open would be sufficient.

That's f'd up. This concludes my contribution to this thread.

It depends if your transmission has a torque converter clutch or not, and whether it's functioning properly. Most automatic transmissions, at least electronically controlled modern ones, have a torque converter clutch. At higher speeds, or sometimes just in higher gears, the torque converter will be locked so it's spinning at a 1:1 ratio so you get better fuel economy. If it doesn't have one, then the RPM will decrease when you let off the throttle, though i don't think it should quite return all the way to idle even if you have no torque converter clutch, but it will decrease substantially when you let off the throttle.

Also, some automatic transmissions will go into neutral under heavy braking, but that's not really relevant.

The problem on this forum, is that insults are opinions.

So then I guess you're part of the problem, huh?

Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if people who had vastly differing opinions would just shut up instead of arguing.

There's no such thing as stealing a layout, you create it with the knowledge that anyone an save it and use it as they please.

Well, if this is going to turn into a tire discussion...

I've got $108/ea Dunlop Direzza Z1 tires for the summer (205/50r15):


And cheap $65/ea Firestone Winterforce for the winter (195/60r15):


I only have I'd say at most 1500mi on the dunlops and i'm not sure how much on the firestones. Also, my summer tires are great in the rain

I just assumed it was a penis at first because I wouldn't put it past the regulars that post in this thread to post a picture of a penis.

Yeah, not drunk at all, only a BAC of 0.19. Only you know, double the legal limit.

It's not a bug. The physics calculations for a vehicle are paused during inactivity. Thus when there is activity again, it continues where it left off: the wheels spinning freely.

For future reference, next time you don't know the name of a song, try searching for lines of lyrics. Sometimes the title is derived from the chorus, and even if it isn't, you may find a page with the lyrics of that song that way.

It's all Spain's fault.

For some reason I was reminded of a gps/satnav lol

So you're really a greek? Do you have a burly uni-brow and a flawless man-sweater too?

I'm not greek, and thankfully don't have a uni-brow. But as for the man-sweater... eh... no comment.

Quote from Inouva :

MMm, just to add to the check up

Cable of the clutch

If it's hydraulic then it doesn't have a cable. I personally doubt it's a problem with the hydraulics. I'd be more inclined to suspect the pressure plate or clutch disc. Though either of those would probably make quite a bit of noise if they were to break.

So. I'm the only one that races in a fur coat?

I was born to stay frozen..

I race in a fur coat. Except it's attached to me! (Well, not really fur so much as hair, technically. :razz

my mate has a the 190D and runs it on cooking oil. you gotta love the old merc diesel engines.

I'd be a bit concerned about the injection pump possibly not getting proper lubrication and getting also possibly clogged up when running cooking oil through it.

And the Jews still complain about being persecuted. Not hard to see why if they don't allow women simple priviledges.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews account for a small percentage of all Jews. So you can piss off.

Does LFS simulate track temperature? Because if it's cloudy, the track will surely be cooler than if it were sunny. With my summer tires, I definitely noticed a difference from driving one morning that it was about 5C, compared to when it was sunny and 27C outside one afternoon a few days later and they were way more grippy. Dunlop Direzza Z1 (205/50r15), which for all intensive purposes are pretty much equivalent to "road supers" in LFS.

Though I noticed a difference between 27C and 5C, there isn't much of a difference between 27C and 30C ambient. Though, I haven't been able to test the performance of my tires terribly extensively. I plan on doing autocross this summer, so I shall get a better idea if I do so.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

No to be honest with you chum. I just know that the engine sucked through what it needed rather than being injected electronically what it was asked for.

Fuel from the bowl is sucked into the motor from the air flowing past the needle valve in the carb. But something has to fill up the bowls. You claimed that there are vacuum powered fuel pumps. I have not seen any. I think you are mistaken. The bowl is either going to be gravity fed, as motorcycle carbs usually are, or there's going to be a pump filling the bowl.

Oh forgot to mention, isn't OS X actually a linux distro? I'm pretty sure that the underlying software in the I wanks, sorry ipads is probably linux based aswell. I'm sure that there are or will be plenty of sites popping up with hacks etc to encourage use of the Pi

No. Mac OSX is unix based. It shares some bits and pieces with FreeBSD and NetBSD as well.
