    How to identify a Continental brand serpentine belt?

    From what I understand RA will only allow an alternate part number if it's the same part, just under different branding. For example a Premium Guard oil filter vs a Pronto.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    Sort of on topic - I seem to recall I believe a Korean Air 747 crashing a few decades ago from the FO not wanting to correct the Captain as well.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    I have to admit my ignorance didn't realize it was as easy to turn off a 787 engine as it is to turn off the engine in my car. I figured it was some 15 second sequence to shut the engines down.

    Why would someone MacGyver their way into the cockpit, then Van Damme two pilots only to flip some switches and not just push the nose down? Makes no sense.

    GR Corolla on track with 0W-20 blows engine and crashes

    I recall seeing a Misha vid with a newer Type R on track that was seeing 150C oil temps (302F) , but don't actually know for sure what oil was in it.

    GR Corolla on track with 0W-20 blows engine and crashes

    You're better than this man. Vehicle is known for engine problems, this one is tuned with exhaust, cams etc etc and you're blaming the oil without even having the engine town down yet? 20 grade is probably not the best choice for the application but let's wait for tear down results before...

    Subaru Owners, which diff fluid viscosity do you use?

    Everything I’ve seen and read says 75w90, never heard of anything else. I have three quarts in the garage ready for my wife’s Forester.

    Which oil would you choose? Seeing specs only

    I'd run 4 followed by 1. 4.3 HTHS seems thiccc for no real reason or benefit

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    You sound like my wife :ROFLMAO:... But you're right.

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    I have MS and really have a hard time walking sometimes. I don't have a handicap placard simply because I haven't asked for one. However when I am having a bad day and going to be quick I will sometimes park in the handicap spot. Even though I am visibly having problems I have still been yelled...

    Anyone here have projector and movie screen?

    I have a theatre setup in my basement, it's about 15 years old but still 1080p and looks good still. Epson 6500UB and a 110" Carada screen. Axiom audio setup for sound and a Denon receiver.

    Is LIQUI MOLY overkill for an E36 "M3"?

    If you're going to go boutique, you may as well do it right and use Motul :cool:

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    Off topic but I recall hearing when the newest Ford GT came out, that it had (has) more lines of code than a 787. Crazy.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    So not only do they drive on the wrong side of the road, but their engines also spin the wrong way.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    It was mentioned earlier that the engines (at least on JACPs aircraft) can be gravity fed from the wing tanks when pumps fail, I imagine the 787 is the same?

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    Wouldn’t contaminated fuel most likely show up in other planes as well? Or if it was a problem with the one aircraft causing the contamination, could something like that really happen in a two hour turn-around?
