#brake pedal reinforcement

[dielukedie-subaru]

Recently sold one of my bikes so I used some of the cash to buy these 2 parts made by Cusco. Why are the prices similar when the brake pedal reinforcement has way less metal?

I have a feeling both parts are gonna be a PITA to install. They are not listed to fit the 2nd gen Legacy but my eyeballs tell me otherwise. Coming from Japan so it will be a couple weeks.

Why spend that much? Because they both are more of a safety thing for me with the bonus of handling/performance benefits. The car has no brake booster so one part reinforces the firewall from the cabin side, equals a more solid pedal and less stress on the firewall. The car also needed something other than the JDM toothpick of a bumper beam in case of a head on collision.

@deepenter The brake pedal reinforcement plate is something you might try? ✌️

Ronart W152 MK.II 

The W152 was the first car to be designed and built by Ronart Cars, which was founded in 1984 by Rona and Arthur Wolstenholme and launched at the 1985 International Classic Car Show, with production commencing the following year. Of original conception, the design was intended to reflect the style of the front-engined Formula One cars of the 1950s, of which the humped headrest and external exhaust are typical ingredients. The car is built around a backbone chassis and clothed in an 11-piece body comprising: centre tub section, nose cone, bonnet, front side panels, rear section, boot lid and quartet of cycle wings. The centre section is reinforced with a steel cage, to which a roll-over bar is firmly attached; the tip of which is cunningly secreted under the driver's head rest. On Mk. II versions, such as the sale car, a boot is built into the rear section. This stunning British sports car is presented in racing red with carbon stripes and a black leather interior piped in red. The bodywork on this particular example is carbon fibre which we believe to be unique and clearly provides this car with a substantial weight advantage against its rivals. It is fitted with a Jaguar six litre V12 sport engine which is fuel injected with high-impedance fuel injectors, emerald management system with V12 map installed. It also has a power lock 3.07 differential, fully adjustable pedal box, Willans four-point harness, Le Mans fuel filler, boxed gel battery, three stage trickle charger and Brooklands aero screens. It has stainless steel headlights and sidelights, fully independent suspension with adjustable coil over shocks, AP racing brakes and calipers and wire wheels. Also,  the car was set up to do rallying and therefore it does have the relevant  timing equipment fitted.

Ralliart tuned street version EVO. Tommy Makinen TM-V4

Lancer Evolution TM-V4

Ralliart fine changes EVO.

For a stronger evo

Numb!!!

Report/ Motonobu Takehira

Based on the Lancer EVO 6 Tommy Makinen Edition, a model tuned by Ralliart incorporating sports parts has appeared. That is the TM-V4, a street model based on the GSR, equipped with plenty of Ralliart sports parts and aiming for further improvements. Not a so-called complete car. Instead, it will be a tuning model that incorporates parts developed by Ralliart.

First of all, looking at the exterior, the side aero spoilers, which are larger than the normal ones, are noticeable, but the rest of the car doesn't look any different from the normal ones. Isn't it?

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 235/40ZR18. This is expected to increase the potential of exercise performance on winding roads.

If you look at the cockpit, you won't feel any difference from the normal one, but the 300km/h scale white triple meter, Carbon look panel on centre console and polyacetal shift knob increase rally mood.

Suspension is equipped with a shock absorber that can adjust the damping force (4 levels), and a vehicle height adjustment type with series springs (5 kg for both front and rear). It has aluminum tower bars on the front and rear. The brakes are reinforced with stainless mesh hoses, master cylinder stoppers, and sports pads.

And although the engine is worrisome, the main body is normal. However, motor sports improved exhaust efficiency. A muffler, piping that smoothes the air flow in the intake system, a sports type air cleaner, etc. are used to smooth the flow of intake and exhaust, and the sports ECU manages the engine.

When you open the hood, the dull black pipes have been changed to bright blue and red pipes, and just looking at them is exciting. It is also a part of Ralliart that is beautifully put together.

Running is a high-level unity ◎!!

Well, what about the running!?!?! I wrote that the engine itself is normal, but isn't it powered up? In particular, you can clearly feel the power increase in the middle and high rotation range. The response to the accelerator is sharper in the entire range, and the top end is even better. By the way, the boost is up by about 0.1 kg/cm. Isn't it about 30 horsepower increased!?!?!

No problems with drivability. Torque may be lower than normal at low revs, but there is no practical problem at all. Same smoothness as NORMAL, same ease of handling. The suspension is also perfectly decided

Wider for higher grip

Even if the tires are bumped and the road is uneven It is well demonstrated. Hardness

It is also exquisite, and the ride comfort is properly secured, so it can be used well on the street. The damping force to the shock absorber was set to 3 stages both front and rear, but this is the best setting for general winding.

You can enjoy sharp handling and improved cornering performance.

Brakes are high even at normal running. I felt a sense of rigidity, but this guy is even more solid. Efficacy that responds linearly to pedal force,

There is no perfect touch.

TM-V4 is a radical tuner

Although it is not a driving model, you can definitely enjoy the performance and enjoyment of riding on a higher rank without sacrificing comfort.

I think Lancer Evo owners will enjoy using these parts and tuning step-by-step.

PIC CAPTIONS

Equipped with a Ralliart damper suspension that can handle 18-inch tires, it is extremely controllable even in heavy wet conditions.

The engine itself is normal, but the engine performance has been improved with piping that reduces intake resistance and a pickup with a sports muffler. beautiful to look at

A 300km/h scale white meter, polyacetal sports shift knob, carbon-like console panel, and triple gauges give it a unique look.

The seat is the same as the normal seat, but it has a high holdability, so if you tighten the 4-point seat belt, your body will be firmly fixed.

Makin' & Stealin'

I think it's okay if I say that I Stole Your Love picks up right where Makin' Love left off, once apart from their positionings on Rock and Roll Over as the last song and on Love Gun as the first.

And once apart from the fact that both actually ride around on basically the same riff in only small variations and both diligently work themselves off with it properly. How would you call that? Are these sibling songs, or rather continuing songs? I would love to write something about sequel songs, but let's just take it as it comes today.

So in this case I try to emphasize more the differences despite the high degree of relationship of the riffs. While Makin' Love suggests highly dynamic joy of movement, it nevertheless gives the impression that it doesn't really want to leave the spot, and that it is more or less frozen with the feet on the ground, and in joyful but equally monotonous up-and-down movements essentially busy with itself. And that's just the guitar riff. The drums reinforce this impression even more and are just as playful as the guitars and everything else, on the one hand, but somehow also keep one foot on the gas pedal and the other just as much on the brakes, and always seem to get bogged down in gear changes and unnecessary clutches. It's a bit like a bucking sports car on the road and sputtering in circles while the engine makes the most wonderful and horrible noises simultaneously that a car lover can imagine.

But away with the car comparison. I Stole Your Love, on the other hand, has little trouble using its legs for more than just turning around on the spot. An healthy attitude that is supported by the drums from the very first bar. Here, the dramaturgy is completely different, and accordingly, there's a lot more drama, which may be due to the much punchier weight shifting, and gives I Stole Your Love a lot more breathing room in its busy dynamics. Much more varied than Makin' Love, it adopts several poses at once, enabling it to assert itself clearly in more than one position and pick up speed just as quickly. I Stole Your Love doesn't prop itself up, as Makin' Love does somewhat too monotonously, but rather pushes itself off and clearly uses the resulting energy to its advantage. And what an advantage it is.

You can think what you want about my words, for me personally I think these two songs are among the best as well as my absolute favorite Kiss songs, and what could possibly be bad about them at all? The thing is, I can see one riff in both songs and yet paint two completely different pictures of them. Whether that represents an identity of their own, capable of confidently conquering originality within its own parameters, or ultimately just stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

At the end of the day, I don't really care, and it doesn't matter at all. Or does it? (1)

Side Note:

(1) Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple are not the issue here today… but inevitably they will be, sooner or later.

Three, two, one... You should have pressed Play by now. What is stopping you from doing this?

What Are Brake Rotors and How Do They Work?

Brake rotors are a critical component of your vehicle’s braking system. Understanding how they function and when they need replacement is essential for maintaining your car’s safety and performance.

What Are Brake Rotors?

Brake rotors, also known as brake discs, are metal discs attached to the wheel hubs. When you press the brake pedal, the brake pads clamp down on these rotors, creating friction that slows the wheels and eventually stops the car. Rotors are typically made from cast iron or composites like reinforced carbon-carbon or ceramic-matrix, chosen for their durability and heat resistance.

How Do Brake Rotors Work?

When you apply the brakes, hydraulic pressure forces the brake pads against the spinning rotors. This contact generates friction, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat. The heat dissipates through the rotors, which helps prevent the brakes from overheating. The smooth operation of this process is vital for effective braking.

Over time, brake rotors can wear down, develop grooves, or become warped due to heat and constant friction. This wear can lead to reduced braking efficiency, longer stopping distances, and vibrations when braking. When these issues arise, brake rotor replacement is necessary to restore the braking system's optimal performance.

Signs You Need Brake Rotor Replacement

Vibrations: A pulsing sensation in the brake pedal indicates warped rotors.

Noisy Braking: Squealing or grinding sounds can signal worn-out rotors.

Visible Damage: Grooves, scoring, or rust on the rotors suggest they need replacing.

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your braking system in top condition. Many vehicle owners are turning to mobile mechanics for the convenience of on-the-spot repairs and maintenance, including brake rotor replacement. These professionals offer mobile oil change services and other essential automotive care right at your home or workplace, saving you time and the hassle of visiting a traditional shop.

Why Mobile Services Are a Game-Changer

With the growing demand for convenience, mobile services like mobile mechanics are becoming increasingly popular. These services bring the expertise of a repair shop directly to you, whether you need a brake rotor replacement or a routine oil change. Mobile oil change services, for example, ensure your engine stays lubricated and running smoothly without you ever needing to leave your driveway.

Conclusion

Understanding brake rotors and their role in your vehicle's braking system is crucial for maintaining safety on the road. When you notice signs of wear or damage, timely brake rotor replacement is essential. Opting for mobile mechanic services, including mobile oil changes and brake repairs, can make vehicle maintenance more convenient and efficient, keeping your car in peak condition with minimal disruption to your schedule.

New Post has been published on https://fastmusclecar.com/beginners-guide-to-muscle-cars-handling-all-that-raw-power-safely/best-muscle-cars/

Beginner's Guide to Muscle Cars: Handling All That Raw Power Safely

Muscle cars epitomize cool with their iconic supercharged design. Yet controlling all that growling power poses real challenges, especially for novice drivers. Learning fundamental skills separates fun thrill rides from dangerous fishtails.

This guide distils beginner-friendly handling advice for harnessing muscle cars confidently. With defensive driving basics from 5-hour pre-licensing courses plus supplemental resources, newcomers can tame these beasts responsibly.

Muscle Car Basics

Before hitting the gas, understand what makes muscle cars unique using this glossary:

Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): Engine output powers just the rear tires, enabling wild drifts but increased oversteer risk.

Torque: Twisting force to accelerate, reaching 400 lb-ft or more on many models for neck-snapping getaways.

High Power-to-Weight: Over 400 horsepower shoved into moderate chassis weight jacks straight-line speed through the roof.

Stiff Suspension: Firmer shocks and springs for better launches off the line. But bumpier rides with loose handling if you hit corners too hot.

Temperamental Throttle: Sensitive gas pedals make modulation tricky. Goose it too hard and easily break traction.

With great speed potential comes little room for error. Respect is essential for safely harnessing everything under the hood.

Proper Muscle Car Mindset

Channel patience and self-discipline behind the wheel above all else. Muscle cars actively punish hot dogging. Follow three core principles to avoid OCTM (overconfidence trouncing muscle):

1. Respect the Power Band

Never underestimate the explosive power band. Even veteran drivers get caught out by a twitchy throttle blipping them to triple digits faster than expected.

The inability to restrain the urge to floor it remains the number one cause of crashes. Internalize that showing off leads to expensive wrecks or reckless tickets at best.

2. Master Low-Speed Control

Get truly comfortable with slow-speed maneuvering before trying any Fast and Furious movies. Unlike regular cars, muscle models need extra finesse to avoid stalls thanks to all that torque.

Perfect pulling away smoothly, reversing in parking spots, and running through the gears at moderate RPMs before attempting speed runs and skipping this foundation courts disaster.

3. Seek Continued Education

Consider yourself always learning with these highly-tuned machines. Sign up for advanced defensive driving teachings to polish handling instincts beyond basic qualifications.

Never grow overconfident in your abilities, as that is when mistakes happen. The masters continue honing their craft years into ownership.

Defensive Driving Principles

While tempted to pound the throttle, prudent novices should enroll in 5-hour pre-licensing driving academy courses focused on muscle car safety.

These classes reinforce cautious habits for public roads. Reflect on the core topics regularly even after completing the curriculum:

Oversteer prevention: Smoothly managing RWD power distribution avoids unstable slip angles from acceleration or turning forces.

Braking distances: Increased velocity compounds stopping distances. Give yourself ample room to slow in time.

Steering inputs: During weight transfers, gentle adjustments maintain more control than jerky sawing at the wheel.

Highway merging: Find large gaps for merging onto fast traffic flow without disrupting stability.

Weather factors: RWD loses traction easier on wet or icy pavement. Tread extra carefully.

How to build biking habits for a kid

Building biking habits for a kid can be a fun and healthy way to introduce them to physical activity and outdoor adventures. Here are some steps to help you encourage biking habits in children:

Choose the Right Bike: Ensure that your child has a bike that fits them properly. It should not be too big or too small. Proper fit is essential for comfort and safety.

Safety First:

Make sure your child wears a helmet every time they ride.

Teach them the basic rules of the road and the importance of following traffic signs and signals.

Check that the bike has working brakes and reflectors. Add lights if they will be riding in low-light conditions.

Lead by Example: Kids often emulate their parents or older siblings. If you regularly ride a bike, it can motivate your child to do the same.

Start Early: The earlier you introduce biking, the easier it is for kids to adopt it as a habit. Many children start with a balance bike (a bike without pedals) to learn balance and coordination before transitioning to a pedal bike.

Gradual Progression: Begin with short rides and gradually increase the distance as your child becomes more comfortable and confident. Make sure the routes are age-appropriate and safe.

Family Outings: Plan family bike outings to parks, trails, or other scenic locations. Make these trips enjoyable and memorable experiences.

Fun Accessories: Let your child choose fun accessories for their bike like a bell, a basket, or colorful streamers. This personalization can make biking more exciting.

Set Goals: Help your child set achievable biking goals. This could be a certain distance they want to reach, mastering a specific skill (e.g., riding with no training wheels), or participating in a family bike race.

Create a Routine: Establish a routine for biking. Whether it's a daily ride after school or a weekend family ride, consistency helps build habits.

Join a Group: Look for local biking clubs or groups for kids. Riding with peers can be motivating and a great way for kids to make friends who share their interests.

Reward System: Consider implementing a reward system to encourage regular biking. For example, your child could earn rewards for completing a certain number of rides or hitting a distance milestone.

Safety Check: Teach your child basic bike maintenance and safety checks. This includes checking tire pressure, ensuring the brakes work, and keeping the chain lubricated.

Make it Fun: Keep the focus on fun and adventure rather than exercise. Plan scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, or themed rides to make biking enjoyable.

Stay Positive: Encourage and praise your child's efforts, whether they are just starting or improving their skills. Positive reinforcement goes a long way in building habits.

Stay Involved: Continue to ride with your child and show your interest and enthusiasm. Ask them about their biking adventures and listen to their stories.

Remember that every child is different, so be patient and adjust your approach based on their interests and comfort level. The goal is to make biking a lifelong habit that they enjoy.

Powerstage RR Limited Edition: The first carbon-framed Ducati e-MTB

The e-MTB range for 2024 expands with the introduction of the Powerstage RR Limited Edition, Ducati's most exclusive e-enduro model developed to tackle the most extreme off-road conditions. The name Powerstage, in fact, recalls a new type of special stage recently introduced in the e-enduro circuits which consists in tackling, in addition to the classic downhill stages, a technical uphill route, testing both the skills of athletes competing in the races and the performance level of the vehicle. Powerstage RR Limited Edition is a concentration of technology and advanced components, defined by eliminating compromises with the aim of offering maximum performance. The "full carbon" frame has undergone lengthy testing on the toughest routes with a single goal: to guarantee maximum performance in the enduro field. The choices on the arrangement of the carbon layers and on the types of fibre intertwining are the result of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) which allows to identify the points subject to greater stress, which therefore require greater strength. More attention to stiffness has been given to the steering area, the rear chain stay and the engine area reinforced by two ribs (T-Ribs). On the frame there are many other high-quality functional details, such as the passage of internal cables, protected by a steering stop system (T-Stopper), bearings on the joints, in direct contact with the carbon without the use of bushings and an asymmetrical rear chain stay, which in addition to a captivating design offers better responsiveness and uphill traction. The geometric solutions adopted make the Powerstage RR extremely fast and stable on the roughest routes. The verticalised 78° seat tube angle allows the rider to assume an optimal position in the saddle on technical uphill sections, and a slack 64° head tube angle helps to overcome any obstacle at top speeds.

The new Shimano EP801 drive unit represents a benchmark for the category and maintains the native characteristics of the EP8: 250 Watts of nominal power and 85 Nm of torque, always delivered with the utmost fluidity and naturalness over a wider cadence range than ever before. The new system features two preconfigured assistance profiles: "long ride", to favour autonomy on long tours and "fast ride", to enjoy maximum performance on shorter outings. By means of the "Fine Tune" mode present on the Shimano "E-Tube Project" app, it is possible to create your own profiles thanks to the extensive possibilities for customising the electric assistance. The removable 630Wh Shimano battery is positioned inside the "verticalised" downtube in order to lower the centre of gravity, improving the balance of the bike. The Öhlins RXF38 m.2 air fork (180 mm travel) and the Öhlins m.2 spring shock absorber with TTX technology (170 mm travel) are fully adjustable in both rebound and compression, at high and low speeds, ensuring precision riding and stability. The SRAM GX AXS 12-speed wireless rear electronic shifting provides immediate and precise gear-shifts at all times. The Braking First brakes with customised Ducati Corse levers and 203 mm thick 3 mm discs are among the most powerful currently on the market. The Crankbrothers Synthesis wheels with differentiated format (29” front, 27.5” rear) with variable thickness carbon rims help to further improve steering precision, guaranteeing an excellent weight/strength ratio. The tyres are Pirelli Scorpion Enduro S on the front and Pirelli Scorpion EMTB-S on the rear to offer maximum grip and adherence. The equipment is completed by a telescopic seat post, a Renthal carbon handlebar and a Fizik saddle with special integrated tool holder.

Giorgio Favaretto, Head of e-Bicycle Business – “Ducati’s pedal assisted bicycle project took shape with the launch of the MIG-RR, the first e-mtb produced in collaboration with Thok E-Bikes. In 2022 the range of E-Bikes has been made even more complete and performing. Today, with the new Powerstage RR, Ducati strengthens its presence in the premium-range e-mountain bike segment, aimed at even more demanding bikers." The livery designed by Aldo Drudi in collaboration with the Centro Stile Ducati is inspired by the Desmosedici GP23 of the official MotoGP team, enhancing the unique character of this e-mtb produced in a limited edition of 230 numbered units, a figure that recalls the denomination of the racing bike. The new Powerstage RR Limited Edition will be previewed in the paddock area during the upcoming German Grand Prix at Sachsenring and can already be ordered from the Ducati dealer network and online at www.ducati.com. The Borgo Panigale manufacturer is gearing up to welcome all enthusiasts from 21 to 25 June at Eurobike (Frankfurt, Pavilion 8, stand I03) with the 2024 e-Bicycle range.
