That's what I've heard, though you can't deactivate the extra weight that comes with such a system. @SixSixSevenSeven >Impressively packed engineering Which, as usual, is a metaphor for "nightmare to work on or modify".
pretty much. You had a system which was *effectively* (but not technically) a second clutch. Engine went through clutch to gearbox to a splitter, that splitter drove rear wheels direct and the front wheels through this second clutch. Normal conditions, that second clutch is open (though actually, it couldnt *fully* release and transferred at least some power, even if just a few percent), and so front wheels are not connected to engine, that clutch can be fully closed so front and rear axles are effectively locked as if the car had a locked centre diff (though actually i dont think it had enough holding torque to manage truly locked, think there was still a degree of slip), or it can be under some sort of part engagement. You could pull the fuse to disable the electronics controlling it and cause it to jam open leaving the car AWD. Later models this then confused the ECU and prevented engine running normally so other measures required. --- Post updated --- GTR: Indeed, weight is still there, and not very conductive towards removal either (its all integrated all over the place). Subaru: Its not too bad.
As for car shows the town i went to school in (primary) Fordham had their show, last year was a tiny one really, but this year they really did pull out all the stops and is really big, was certainly surprised to see a Ford Crown Victoria considering its the UK Picture dump here.. https://goo.gl/photos/qBz4vLtkvLsQXTmh6
American cars like a lot of their stuff is everywhere! Better value than an Evolution? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mitsubishi/auction-1317161310.htm Its been resprayed though.
Here you go again. As you probably guess since I have the Golf, my mother had a new car, an almost brand new 2006 Corsa. The car didn't had a scratch. The car was to my Grand-father. He always took care of his cars. But apparently our gate isn't large enough. Seriously. Wtf women. Since almost 30 years she's driving. How can you make such a stupid thing? Result : scratched bumper and a bent gate.
as in the one by Wormingford and near Colchester? i think from memory i was in my dads car and we drove past another fordham
The Infinity Prototype 9 is stunning to look at: Its a reimagining of what a 1940's race car could be. So it has leaf springs, ladder chassis, solid axles and hand beaten body panels. One major difference though, its an EV.
I'm not sure I like that. Why would you keep things like the solid axles and leafs that aren't very good (at least for this type of vehicle, they do have their uses), but then put an electric motor in it so it will sound like, well pretty much nothing at all.
For fun. More likely though an engineering exercise to force thier staff to think in a different way to normal. So mostly as a training exercise. With the bonus of publicity. A very hopeful way of looking at it is that maybe they would like to force their engineers to make an "actual" classic car in the hopes that they can put a classic looking EV on the road that takes design queues from older schools of vehicle design. I would be totally down for EV's that are modern underneath but have legitimate retro styling.
Known issue . The only difference was that the rental Auris Hybrid was just fine, which couldn't have been said about our gate. It couldn't be closed so my father had to straighten it with a hammer... imagine how it looked after that.
I wonder...what do you all think about giving BeamNG vehicles and engines code names? I've included a thread here that has a LOAD of these for everything from the Pigeon to the T-Series, with a few mod vehicles like the S-Series in the mix. https://www.beamng.com/threads/chas...icles-with-a-few-mod-vehicles-included.44346/
I'm lucky my father know how to work with metal ^^ You can't really tell the gate have been damaged. It seems like the "Scratches" on the bumper were parts of the gate painting, after a bit of cleaning the bumper is in a lot better shape
