For FWD's, you normally would have a lower RPM than RWD or AWD

Below is my nissan murano SL CVT @77MPH at ~ 2000 RPM with 92 AKI on a level surface.

Other cars I have driven
11 Lexus IS 350 SC V6 3.5 RWD 6S AT ~2700RPM @ 75 MPH

08 Tundra 5.7 V8 i force RWD 5S AT~ 27000 RPM @ 75 MPH

12 Infiniti M37 sport 3.7 V6 RWD 7S AT ~ 2850 RPM @ 80 MPH

In my opinion, at final gear 1900 to 2200 RPM seems good for FWD and 2500 to 27000 RPM for RWD (@75MPH). Never really looked at a AWD.

If you really understand gas engines and the relationship between torque, RPM and HP you would understand why continuous towing with FWD is not advised.

stephenponti:
I have only water in the system presently.

That's your problem right there. Change to coolant first. The coolant colour would enable you find the leaky spot(i doubt if you have any leak) .

stephenponti:
Really thank you for your contributions. I have Tried the solution in the link above.
Also if the operating temperature of the car is 90degrees is the water hose also suppose to be [/b]vibrating like it want to burst because of boiling water? [b]
I wish a specific component that causes this problem is specifically identified?

Do you use water or coolant in your radiator? Coolant mix doesn't boil at 100 degrees centigrade.

It's a rebadged Acura RLX.

sultaan:
What type of tag was on the car I wonder how they were able to get that into the US.

The oddest tag I have seen in Atlanta is from Alaska and a Ontario Canada

That's tag is Mexico/Mexican. I have seen a 207 in San Antonio.

@ age 75 he still wants to be a governor...Funny...

Don't mind them they want to rule forever. But how old is Buhari self?

Akainzo:
You are very much suffering from what you accuse the woman of. One of the Directors of Google is known publicly to use a BlackBerry, is he stupid or is it that he doesn't know where his money comes from?

Choice of a smartphone does not indicate anything, so long as your choice satisfies you and you are not just shelling out money just to follow the Joneses.

I hope you are not a decision maker in any important place.

Is Google struggling like BB?
Is BB frequently hacked like Andriod?
Do you think $800 is a problem for Google or BB bosses?

I still hope you don't make crucial decisions ANYWHERE.

That woman is Stu.pid. I wonder were she thinks her husband gets the money to pay bills. If the man is laid off cos of low sales and bad representation of the company she would quickly run and ask for divorce so she can collect half before they go broke.

Marriage is for better for worse. She should join in the husbands struggle by patronizing him/his organization.

Harmvirus:
lol! cos most of them don't know that they are meant to stop

Haha, most people didn't do a driving test to get licence. We just paid to get a licence and learnt the signs later on aka cart before the horse.

Logo modernisation of Chrysler :
Starting in the 1980s, Chrysler adopted “modernistic” logos in print materials and on some car nameplates.
During the “rebirth” of Chrysler in the late 1990s, the Chrysler “seal” logo was revived, first as a circle, then installed in wings.
After Cerberus bought Chrysler, Trevor Creed was let loose on the traditional pentastar.
Shortly after the Fiat takeover, Chrysler trademarked another new logo, based on a modernized wing.

Oya tell me this one below and one bottle for you.

A RAV 4 2002 model is a NO NO. It has ECU issues that can crash the gearbox. Just note that a Lexus V6 will definitely consume more fuel than a V4

I really don't know how to reply the bold part. Someone please help.

[color=Blue]Thanks for the link, Shagati. I did look into that supplier, unfortunately they only accept Western Union as a means of payment.

I would feel more comfortable paying via PayPal.[/color]

I can do Texas plates for you.

GAZZUZZ:
Scan the steering


You are either low on tyre pressure, low on power steering fluid, or pump is faulty.

Yes, I would say start your diagnosis in that order.

icemann, i like ur analysis. i had Deliberately refused to comment or read anything about this issue until now, but i have questions for you...


**Why do u ask such questions as of the building collapsed @ US

**Do you think that Nigeria has really Changed

**Why Asking Question as if u were not a futite
All those houses @ Umuchima, Ihiagwa, nd d neighboring towns... how many approval did they get

Fact!
**-***
In Nigeria, people thinks their money can do and undo, thereby disobeying laws in the society, thinking their money will remedy the situation, the go ahead to prosecute strictly the common man for least disobedience... but they tend to forget that the law was made for their own good, and that by disobeying the rules, one day will fight them back.

i heard so day in a news that this building was not approved by Lagos state government, my Question is

if Lagos State town planning is innocent, why did they allow this building until now that it has caused a menace before they spoke out

Let me answer your Questions
**Why do u ask such questions as of the building collapsed @ US

I asked cause we strive to be a civilized society like the US so we should ask questions like a civilized society. These questions help us to be a better society

**Do you think that Nigeria has really Changed.
To be Honest, No much we are still stuck in our old ways. we need to adapt the modern way of a society.

**Why Asking Question as if u were not a futite
All those houses @ Umuchima, Ihiagwa, nd d neighboring towns... how many approval did they get

During my time in FUTO i noticed the building authorities come around and mark X on some buildings during construction. I can remember them marking X on the new lecture theater near the Library so that means the drawings were later submitted and checked by the right people but you cant verify if the built to specifications. As of the hostels off campus, i don't know.


if Lagos State town planning is innocent, why did they allow this building until now that it has caused a menace before they spoke out.

Even if the Design wasn't approve the Engineer should be held responsible. TB Joshua is not an engineer so he shouldn't be held responsible. I think his ministry should stop the bomb conspiracy they are spreading. In a civilized society they would be charged for Defamation, neglect and Miss-information. and yes these crimes carry sentences and fines.

I am always happy to see Great FUTOites like you (MR or is it MRS Raypawer) contributing meaningfully to this forum.

Seun, Obinoscopy and Mynd44, why is this thread not on Frontpage for fairness sake?

lolz opposite of 'High IQ' is what?
IRONY

I replied you to see what point you are trying to achieve and i see its useless.
Just because i decided to reply you, you now feel like a soothsayer. Dude i really don't care how and what you feel!!

Lexusgs430:
I have had it in my jaguar for over 5 years, my vehicles pumps and valves are still fully functional.

Good for you. Just because you exceed the design pressure doesn't mean it is safe.

In engineering we are very aware of lawyers and their "yeye" Law suit that's why we put in Factor of safety so you can exceed the design and not damage the equipment.

Factor of safety is in every design to carter for a constant called Stupidity . Example driving a car with a misfiring cylinder, Using an almost dead battery(11.7 volts would start a car but stop pushing your luck).

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" - Albert Einstein

Nice, A lot better than the guy that stuck a solar panel on a car (see below) and called it an "Electric Pneumatic hybrid car" and Foolss were calling him the new Elon Musk.

Lexusgs430:
It worked wonders on my jaguar. I bought it off Ebay uk.

erico2k2:
Just a thought, cant the leak be fixed? assuming you need to replace the seals?

All them "leak stoppers" most time end up clogging a valve or pump. They Increase viscosity and therefore stress your pumps. Its better you find the leak and change whatever it is.

Just my two cents.

lomomike:
Lol

Don't mind me. I actually knew you were trying to observe if I know what I was doing or not. You and I know these paths very well

LOL you know But to be honest i was confused when i first saw the "2540x2".

lomomike:
Conversion from mm to inches.
Note: 1 inch =2.54 cm. And we are dealing with mm not cm Hence, 25.4 but we know 225/60 is mm. And 60 is the sidewall. Which is 60% of 225.
Am I understood?
To convert every digit there into inch we use the 25.4 but we make it a whole 4 decimal digit. Hence, 2540.
Now 2540X2 comes in to play.

You know how to make stuff complex like trac.


Extra tip. you can calculate the difference in circumference (ratio wise) to know the difference in speed and distance.

lomomike:
I made a very rough calculation with out conversion of any value to inch.

If I were to convert to inch I'd give a concise and neat value.


To convert to the first 3 digits in front are mm but to really calculate,[/b] convert to inch by dividing via (25.4x2) [b]
Eg.


225/60/R16= (225X60/2540X2)+16 in = 18.7inch tall tyres.


215/60/R16= (215X60/2540X2) + 16 in 18.5inch tall tyres.

Hope I have succeeded in convincing and not confusing you?

No i still don't know why you are dividing by "2540x2". and the bolded

lomomike:
215X60/16= 806.25
225X60/16= 843.75


In my opinion its not much of a difference. You'll gain some height. But the width of the tyre and its radius will be same.

What did you just calculate there?

Bellow is a link to my personal analysis(as an Engineer) on the building collapse.
Please read and educate yourself and tell me how a bomb caused the collapse.

Wallie:
In the US, it is not easy to guess one’s tax rate based on the amount earned because everyone’s situation is unique due to deductions that can reduce one's tax base.

For example, you can deduct Medical and Dental Expenses, Deductible Taxes, Home Mortgage Points,, Interest Expense, Charitable Contributions, Business Use of Home, Business Use of Car, Business Travel Expenses, Business Entertainment Expenses, Educational Expenses, Employee Business Expenses, Casualty, Disaster, and Theft Losses (Including Federally Declared Disaster Areas).

This is the reason you would hear of people making $100 million but pay less tax than someone making $30k per year. Also, she’s capable of making about 200 X 36 X 52 = $374,400 per year because nurses usually work 12 hour shifts and the hospital will need specially trained nurses to monitor any Ebola patient 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.

If she has no deductions to take advantage of, she will probably be in the 33% tax bracket but if she has her own business, home, business car use, she can reduce her effective tax rate and fall to the 28%or lower tax bracket.

Rate Single Filers Married Joint Filers Head of Household Filers
10% $0 to $9,075 $0 to $18,150 $0 to $12,950
15% $9,076 to $36,900 $18,151 to$73,800 $12,951 to $49,400
25% $36,901 to $89,350 $73,801 to $148,850 $49,401 to $127,550
28% $89,351 to $186,350 $148,851 to $226,850 $127,551 to $206,600
33% $186,351 to $405,100 $226,851 to $405,100 $206,601 to $405,100
35% $405,101 to 406,750 $405,101 to 457,600 $405,101 to $432,200
39.6% $406,751+ $457,601+ $432,201+

http://taxfoundation.org/article/2014-tax-brackets

Oga you are right but remember you need to work 40 hrs a week to be full time. So the calculation changes to $200 x 40 x 50 weeks(2 weeks vacation)

EbolaParasite:
[size=50pt]WRONG[/size]

I am waiting for you and the person that gave you a like to give me a reason why it is wrong.

I cant understand when people don't even know what Effective tax rate and Marginal tax rate are commenting on tax issues.
When we get to complex stuff live EPS, EBIT, EAR, APR and discounted cash flow i wonder what dey would do.
