You struggle with basic truths and rely on pure wishful thinking....and this is the bloke who would have us believe he was "at one" with things mechanical...
So far, we've got:
*Oil change every 10 years, whether it needs it or not;
*Using a crowbar to break the seal between a gasket and its mating face;
*being so utterly incapable of determining suitable structural part to position a jack under, that he resort to jacking on a brake disc...
Strange, really, for one who "understand the physics" and is "at one with the car", that you can't give this bit of a car its proper name, or understand its true purpose...Coming from the guy who is famous for spreading untruths in the EV thread, that's quite rich!
As for the "wishful thinking, perhaps you'd care to give an example?
Mercifully, that thread got pulled after the mods (quite sensibly, in my view), decided that they didn't want to be responsible for anyone stumbling across it and thinking it was a good idea. I didn't get to see the last few posts, so when I last saw it, you'd been lucky enough to lift one corner a short distance before your jack ran out of travel, so you were off to find something even more unstable to balance it on. Did things get better after that?
Nothing that you've ever posted, has led me to believe you have the slightest grasp of physics.
They are, but it takes a special kind of "stupid" to seek advice on a forum full of quite knowledgeable people, and then go and make the mistakes anyway!
Ah... What NutJob thread would be complete without a ludicrous conspiracy theory, in a laughably transparent attempt to cover up your own ineptitude, eh?
Do you even know what those numbers actually mean? Are you posting them as some sort of endorsement of your mechanical skills? Which of them would you expect to change as a result of the damage you caused with your mechanical ineptitude, and by how much?
It did. You had to resort to calling it lucky.
Makes no diff. The cat is out of the bag. Can't put it back in.
Obviously you know. Explain.
Nope. You were with me until the very end. As you thought it took luck, what happened when you tried, did it fall?
), the intention wasn't to lift the car, it was to compress the suspension on that corner a little, to get an anti roll bar droplink into position. It did what I wanted it to do, but was, of course, risky. I could see the disc trying to rotate. Had I tried to lift the car on it, it would almost certainly have done so, and flicked the jack pad out from under it - but I'm not that stupid, so I didn't...I didn't think you did. For positioning, we have all done it. For lifting, there was only one. Things are easier when you are at one with geometry, physics, etc.No I wasn't. Don't tell lies. It was one of my earliest posts in that thread, in fact.
When I tried it (which I also explained in one of my posts on the thread
You and I both know there is more than one. Some are just in the closet waiting to break out.
