That's the one! The bearing isn't a big deal ($$-wise), however getting to it is - so once you open up the car to get to it (esp if it's FWD), you'll change everything - friction plate, pilot bearing (if rattly), remachine the flywheel, etc, etc... Anyway, I wasn't aware of RTA's...

Engine speed - speed of flywheel and crank (the one measured in rpm's) Drivetrain speed - speed of driveshafts, wheels, gearbox Heel-toeing has been explained before. It is the process of using your right foot to depress both the brake and accelerator. Using this procedure you can brake and...

I believe that MRBS is a preference you put down on your form, just like Bonded, Full-fee and CSP. Their distribution is based on ranking. If, for example, there are 5 MRBS Scholarships on offer, at a given uni - the top 5 candidates who select MRBS get the offer - they could be ranked 1st...

Have you checked the owner's handbook?

You forget about changing gears. It becomes a natural thing, which no longer intrudes in your conscious mind. It can provide that quick 'get up and go' in tight spots. However, eating whilst driving and talking on the mobile are things which probably shouldn't be done regardless of your car's...

I put your specs into carsales. I added a 4cyl descriptor. I have 286 private vehicles and 312 from the dealer...

Diversification of knowledge. No doubt, (when doing BA or LLB) they would be following an unrelated (to MBBS) passion. One for which they have no aspirations to assist in their knowledge and application of medicine. The plus in the BSc would be the Honours year which may let them apply their...

Re: Favourite Car That looks streetable...

Perhaps 40W RMS is a generally low wattage speaker. Peak output on my 40Ws is rated to 190W - so look out for excessively large numbers. It is DEFINITELY a DIY job if you buy a same size speaker. Usually you can use the same holes - and even the same screws. There really is nothing to it...

Re: Favourite Car Merc CLS 63 AMG as class 2?! Wow. High standards there.

If that's the case, then it looks even worse for the leader.

I'm sure there's enough competitive applicants for the 10 available places in the program. Without lowering the 99.95 boundary.

I'm hoping you were joking, as that's what it looks like... But anyway - You'll damage the fuel pump, and other associated parts. Fuel Lines are not meant to run on empty. The way it is done is as follows - You fill up the tank to the VERY top. Then you drive around as much as you like (not...

That seems a bit much. If that's a speedo reading, then it could easily be 315 or so. Still a monumental speed, though.

Camrys are available with a FWD platform, and the TRD-inspired 4WD driveline. It was probably a significant torque split to the rear wheels. I haven't seen the vid, btw. As I'm on dialup, I avoid youtube like the plague.

No, it is not. A larger wheel requires a lower profile tyre, which is far more stable under cornering, due to its smaller and stiffer sidewall. This improves handling. Handling is only hampered when the unsprung weight increases. No. Improved acceleration, caused by decreased unsprung weight...

People don't seem to get this. When a car experiences positive acceleration (i.e. 0-100) the weight falls on the back wheels - thus lifting off the front wheels - facilitating wheelspin. This is regardless of how much weight there is on the front axle. The opposite is also true. In negative...

It's just life, mate. There is always going to be somebody better off, somebody who 'got it easier'. Dwelling on these things is pointless. I've talked to people in the US who scored brand new M3s (E46) and M5s (E39) as their first cars. Free ride thanks to daddy. On the flip side, there is...
