do any contemporary cars use spiral bevel diffs? by
[email protected]
Hypoid gears waste energy. However the spiral bevel is noisier and has to be bigger to handle the same torque that hypoid gears can.
So I presume muscle cars and trucks do not use spiral bevel gears.
I was curious if anybody uses spiral bevel gears in the interests of saving fuel.

Latest car insurance telemarketing gimmick by
geo pearl
I answered the phone and was told that
they had spoken to me six months earlier
and that they weren't selling anything.
They said that their car insurance rates
had been sharply reduced and would I like
a rate quote? I said no thank-you and they
hung up before I could beat them to it.

water filter for washing car? by
[email protected]
I know this sounds crazy but I am wanting to experiment with a filter and housing to use attached to my spigot outside my pole barn garage. The purpose would be to wash my cars so there are no water spots and no need to dry them. I have three vehicles and it takes alot of time to wash them. Also,...

From OP: Re Previous Oil Question by
Bob[_53_]
Hello,
Thanks for all of my previous post replies from you all.
Appreciate it very much. Great Forum.
All set now.
Just wondering about this a bit, so thought I'd ask also.
a. I know it is a no-no to mix "regular" oil with "Synthetic" oil.
I see that many of the offering say "Synthetic Blend"

atomic Prius? by
[email protected]
We have nucular powered submarines, what about a
land vehicle? How small can you make a urannium
steam engine?
It strikes me as the ultimate carbon emission reducer -

Nissan NV200 (London taxi) weird driveshafts by
[email protected]
The Nissan NV200 was a bog standard MPV on the Nissan-Renault B platform.
Nissan wanted to get the London taxi market, but the NV200 is FWD.
So they added an extra universal joint to driveshafts, allowing the wheels
to turn more. This reduced the turning circle from 11 m to 7.6 m !!!!!!
Now I have...

Oil: 5W-30 Rather Than 5W-20 ? by
Bob[_53_]
Hello,
My son has a 2005 Honda Accord, 6 Cyl.
The Manual says to use 5W-20 Oil.
He's having a rough time finding it around where he lives.
Would 5W-30 be O.K. and safe ?

The new fuel efficient vehicle is a motorized bicycle.

fwd **** propagation by
[email protected]
I'm under the impression that Porsche is among very
few car mass production companies that are impervious to
the "valuable input" from the marketing folks.
Bmw was like that before the numb electric
steering went on 3xx (in F90?) and the upcoming front wheel drive
1xx ****mobile.
Am I wrong here...
