General Car Chat / Re: Nice people

I had a woman open her car door into my car while I was still in it. I got out to investigate and she totally denied it even though I had her red paint mark on my car!

There was a rumour early on that the plane had had a tail strike on landing early on in its life. This can damage the rear bulkhead, which is critical for maintaining cabin pressure and gets cyclically loaded ever flight. So if it was damaged and poorly repaired or the damage not noticed, then eventually it could have failed. Instand depressurisation. Panels at tail get bent out like a bomb. Tail seperates and is found away from main fuselage. It all fits.

It happened before to a Japanese or Chinese airlines 747. But that managed to fly in for a few minutes before it hit a mountain. Just long enough for people to write letters to loved ones. Scary.

Im fitting an aftermarket headunit to my ex police car. The connectors for the wiring have been chopped. I have located and wired up all the speakers, the permanent live and earth, but i cant find a switched ignition. What colour should it be?

Not like the GM additive which is just a viscosity modifier. Again this is just info ive found reading the internet, so as with most internet knowledge , it could be complete balls!

I've very recently had an issue with my LSD (yesterday) and ordered these from Opie Oils:

Silkolene BOA 90 LS High Performance Gear And Limited Slip Differential Oil -1 Litre

REDLINE Limited-Slip Differential Friction Modifier / Break-in Additive -0.118L (4 US Fluid Ounces) Bottle

They'll both be here tomorrow

I might be wrong, but I thought the BOA90LS already has the correct friction additives?

Kevin

I think so. The additive is there to reduce temps during initial running of a new diff, where the clutch packs and bearings are tight and you get higher than normal temperature.

I have an LSD in the race car which has now stopped working after I did that. Could be because of something else i accept, but there you go

Because you used an after market oil? or the GM blend?
