hi .........any one knows how to stop the front brakes in the car without the rare brakes ?

Just jam yer foot on the brake, then stomp the gas.  The engine will overpower the brake on the driven wheel.  \n\nYou are already screwing up your car, why not burn up the brakes too?

Bumpstops can help some but you will have to raise the truck to fix the problem. I have seen some people cut notches into the frame. I would not recommend it, but if you do, reinforce the frame around the notch. Airbags to raise and lower the truck would be the best option. Good luck.

Yes, but it will take some experimentation at lower speeds and consultation with someone who has done it successfully. Your undriven wheels will rapidly decelerate upon reaching the ramp, and since their rotating mass is much smaller than the car's mass the forward jolt on the car will be small. I would think you'd want to have the driven wheels unpowered when they make the transition from the road to the ramp. Even so those wheels will have a larger associated rotating mass since the drive train up to and including the driven plate of the clutch (you are going to use a manual shift, aren't you?), is included, which will make the transition jolt bigger but still not energetic enough to drive you any significant distance up the ramp \nNote that the car's behavior will differ between front- and rear-wheel drive. Assume the general strategy is to have enough initial velocity relative to the truck so that the coasting car will roll up the ramp far enough to get the rear wheels on the ramp. If that is done successfully, you can then apply the brakes, downshift to first and proceed as you would in a hill start. However if you don't quite get far enough and the rear wheels are still on the road, you are better off with a front-drive car since you can then just pull the car ahead with no problem. A rear-drive car would either have to start the maneuver all over again or risk making the transition under power.\nDisclaimer: I've never done this, and you should consult someone who has!

Get a spring compresser to compress the springs and then unbolt them (the struts) and put the new ones back in. Watch out for that spring as it has a lot of force behind it if it happens to "spring" out on you. It could seriously hurt you.

nearly all motorcycles have front and rear disc brakes but normally the rear brake is a smaller single disc as opposed to a larger twin disc set up at the front. This is because the weight of the bike mainly transfers to the front under braking hence the need for powerfull brakes up front....the rear gets lighter so only minimal amount of braking power is needed so as not to lock up the rear wheel.

A friend of mine thought it would be fun to do this.  He  put the transmission in neutral, turned the engine off and removed the keys from the ignition while he was going about 45mph.  This was OK until he approached a sharp turn and dropped the keys under the seat while fumbling to get them back in the ignition.  When he began to turn the wheel without the keys the steering column lock engaged and he ran off the road and hit a large snowbank which stopped him and probably saved his life.  DO NOT EVER try removing the keys from a car in motion. It is suicidal.

Try a dealer, That is were I got one for my SUV . The seatbelt kept locking at the wrong time. They gave me one for free, and it keeps the seatbelt from lockingat the wrong time . ( It still locks when you apply the brakes)

Use very narrow and small radius wheels on your car. the rotational inertia must be kept to absolute minimums so that most of the energy from the ramp will go into velocity of the car rather than into the rotation inertia of the wheels. this will provide the greatest speed down the track and assuming the track is short the you will get there quicker. If however the track is long you will want to do the opposite by making the wheels large to store the energy and when the car hits the flat section it will not be going as fast but it will go a lot further\n\nE-mail me and i will be happy to explain various other little details  but the main emphasis must be placed on the wheels and knowing the track length is very important to the design and outcome.\n\nI will be able to tell you actual velocities expected at the bottom of the ramp and can calculate the expected distance the car will travel if i am given a little more information. in particular the size of the wheels, mass of the wheels, mass of the car and just so you know the aerodynamics are not going to be any issue at all because the relative velocities are well below speeds that need to consider design shape or aerodynamics. usually speeds in excess of 40mph are where dynamics become an issue and need to be considered. \n\nWell travis is incorrect in the friction issue.  You obviously want the wheels to spin freely but any extra emphasis on this will not gain any performance.The fact that all of the cars are going to be essentially the same with the coefficient of friction then the rubbing area makes absolutely no difference at all. This is because the friction is related to mg*(coefficient of friction) and area has no effect. I will also be happy to elaborate on this point a little more and explain a lot of fallacies friction,tires,roads, brakes and why contact area has essentially no effect.

adjust the trim tab, check the prop, and check for a broken steering cable or part. More than likely you trim tab is out of adjustment. good luck

Did you try Jegs? Thats where I use to get most of my older car parts. The are known for racing part, but the might have it.

Ok assuming you are part of the real world and race on the street where they dont have a tree, sorry race chick. There are several things you can do to improve launch i have had a 89 mustang gt and i didnt do alot to the engine at first it was all about suspension and other things to get me off the line faster the first thing i done was put in a trunk mount battery kit to help waight transfer then 40/60 drag shocks fron edlebrock and eiback 1" lowering springs in the rear also i ran a pair of Nitto drag Radials and 3.73:1 rear gears you can email me @ williamb606@yahoo for specifics

to solve your problem with minimal work, just bring your bike into a LBS and they should have the tool to take it out, shouldnt cost you a dollar or two, they might just do it for you for free! \n\nCheers

The easiest way to do this would be to remove your chain. This will let you pedal and not go anywhere. You will have to find a way to make the bike stationary so you can keep your balance while you're on it. I suggest removing the front tire and building a stand to prop the front tire frame in.  Make the stand level with the back tire so it will be exactly like riding a bike when you are on it.

what kinda brakes? lmao\n\ngood thing you didn't say breaks
