Clearly you cannot accept being called out as wrong (in front of others anyway). You continue to use the methods of fallacy of which you so readily accuse me. All of your production design examples are composites, yes (heck, concrete is a composite), however, none of your examples are pertinent...
"Resort to ad hominem - just exudes confidence and maturity. The insults don't help."
To put it bluntly, you started it. Your original response to me was in fact nothing shorter than an attack upon me, the very thing of which you accuse me. I insulted no one. I merely added some comments based...
My experience comes from years spent in the composite design industry. Yours seems to come from watching someone's videos. I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain my somewhat complicated position to someone who wears their ignorance so proudly and arrogantly. Your tirade reminds me of...
Considering that this product is produced on demand (and that it is not inexpensive), the lack of quality control is disgusting. They should be ashamed for shipping the product with those defects.
The design is sound (believe it or not). The trouble lies in the manufacturing and quality control. Composite designs are inherently difficult to manufacture. Maintaining the proper quality control of composites is more expensive than other types of QC. Neither of these attributes bode well for...
Grateful to see this post. I'm currently waiting for delivery but not expecting speed. They warn about this on the website (I think they state 5 or 6 weeks for delivery).
At the Bronco Off-Roadeo in Tennessee, the instructor commented on traction boards. He said pretty much what most say, you won't need them often but you'll sure be glad you have them when needed. He also spoke about the quality of the boards themselves. $100 models tend to flex too much and so...
My nephew is a licensed Ford mechanic. He reports that Fram filters have dropped severely since the old days. Probably no longer owned by the people that built the product, they just take advantage of the name value. My nephew said flat out, "Fram is garbage."
At the risk of being perceived as a white knight for MRT, they were providing an answer to an ordinary person and not someone with a PhD in engineering.
Drone is caused by resonant sound in the exhaust system. It can be "tuned" to have various audible qualities. This tuning process can be done scientifically and with attention to detail (much more necessary with smaller displacement engines to achieve a desired sound) or relatively carelessly...
I chose Tennessee, only for the reason that it was with a reasonable driving distance and I couldn't budget a flight. However, I don't have a single regret. I'm from Michigan and Tennessee is closest to the terrain I'll be on 98% of the time. The place is beautiful and the nearest town...
Along with another poster on here, I have the MRT trail-rated on my 2.3L. I love it. Brings up the noise in a very nice way that also allows me to hear how the engine sounds when I'm off-road. MRT also installed a resonator with mine, which I believe is used to tone down or even remove any...
