We are building a tiger tank!
Просмотров 1063 месяца назад
I have found myself helping my friend Alex build a scale model Tiger 1 tank used by the Germans during the Second World War out of steel uni strut and wood with a super-powered potato cannon as the main armament. we are more than likely going to rebuild the gun as it was built for a different project a while ago and is starting to rot in places we are using a Vulcan Omni Pro 220 multi-process w...
razzle camouflage on a car v2(updated)
Просмотров 543 месяца назад
I had a cool idea to try to recreate the razzle dazzle camouflage used on ww1 ships on my 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT using masking tape as a proxy. I am definitely happier with this design as compared to the V1 I did in my previous video. I changed the line angle to 45° and also tried my best to ensure an even line spacing of 2 inches. another improvement I made over the v1 is staggering the lines. ...
razzle camouflage on a car(outdated)
Просмотров 83 месяца назад
I took some white tape I had and attempted to recreate the razzle camouflage paint scheme ships had during the First World War because I thought it looked neat. I will more than likely change the angle closer to 45° instead of the 20° I used here. I do really like this style and will most likely do a proper wrap when the car is back together

Where do y’all get exhausts like this? Mine won’t fit with the engine in my mini bike frame
this one is an exhaust made for a 196 Honda clone it doesn't fit the mini diesels by default it has to be modified. the exhaust stud spacing on the diesel engine is closer together and uses a differently shaped port. so I enlarged the holes with a Dremmel and also reshaped the ports for proper flow. helpful hit if you need to bend the exhaust pipe and you don't have a dedicated pipe bender, go to your local hardware store and buy some play sand, fill the pipe all the way with play sand so you know how much you need, and then put that play sand in the oven at as high as your oven will go. once you have baked the sand so to say and it is nice and hot pour it in the exhaust pipe and that along with a heat gun/ torch will allow you to bend the exhaust without it kinking and restricting the flow. make sure to wear the proper protective equipment and be careful around hot equipment
Electric start?
What car are the red vents from ?
@ravir.3012 they are off an 84 pontiac firebird trans am, I got them off ebay
This fucks
while this is just masking tape currently. I do plan to have a proper wrap of this done when I get the car back together. I like this style a lot and it is an interesting piece of history if you read into dazzle camouflage
alright, im writing a pinned comment so I don't have to clarify to people individually saying cutting a hole in the hood will make things worse, no it will not. I can not speak for every car platform but currently, as the car(a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT) sits the placement of the radiator front compartment and hood at speed positive pressure is generated both behind the radiator and on the underside of the hood causing a diminished cooling effect and aerodynamic lift because of the pressure differential. this is a well-known problem with the Fiero platform,. this pressure differential can be so great at relatively modest highway speeds approx 65mph the headlight doors will be forced open on occasion to allow excess pressure to escape from this space. the only other route for air that passes through the cooling stack( radiator oil cooler AC condenser) is to go under the car also creating lift via a pressure differential as the air that is going under the car is not being accelerated so there is a higher pressure zone being created underneath. and also turbulence is being induced which most certainly does not help supercritical flow and all that. not to mention the hard rigid carbon composite compartment that is angled forward in which air is deflected off downwards creating lift. adding a properly designed hood louver by a reputable company such as the one I show off in this video ruclips.net/user/shortsF8kVXJX50TE?feature=share combined with an undertray and front lip splitter with a chamfered leading edge(2 items i am currently working on at the time of writing this) to both accelerate the oncoming air and to prevent excess air from going under the car is the go-to tried and true method for solving the issue of underhood pressure. As examples of cars that use this exact same printable I will direct you to the Porshe gt 2 3 and 4 rs models. Lamborghini Aventador, the Mustang S650 and GTD, the Dodge Viper Ford GT40 and GT both first and second generation. and even the third-generation Pontiac Firebird trans am of the same generation and model year as my Fiero shown here. the third generation Firebird trans am also just so happens to be the most aerodynamic car General Motors has ever built. this facet of aerodynamics has been well-understood for decades
trans ams are lame imo but whatever makes u happy
how is a car that takes shots at the Corvette and more high class European cars like the 911 for a fraction of the cost lame? just shows you don't know your automotive history very well
I’m about to cut into my hood as well and came across this other video that’s interesting- looks like flow over the hood was negatively effected ruclips.net/video/PfddrYNYoK8/видео.htmlsi=SX0en7UX0JT3SrfX
That’s sick!
It looks like a mix between the s13 and nsx, 😅
Now that you mention it yeah it does💀 except the fiero predates both thoes cars by sevral years
Military Humvee’s don’t have that compressor
that's not half as bad as the new cars with the starter inside the transmission.
true, but that is also not any worse than doing a clutch job on a manual trans car where the trans also has to come out
No vent
I love the sound of the Humvees. Reminds me of an old schoolbus.
true there is no mistaking the sound of an old IDI diesel when it fires up. same with the old 5 cyl merc motors they sound so nostalgic
i just uploaded a vid where i show off the exhaust i have on my truck, check it out ruclips.net/user/shortsS-eaqFaooL8
Brotha the problem is you got ac on a milivec. Take it out and no more problems! Jk lol
I live in South Carolina its been 100+ degrees f every day the past week with 100% humidity I'm keeping my AC if i can possibly help it lol
One thing in the way? lol try working on something brand new
You mean the Rubik's cube you have to disassemble before you Cirque du Solei into the motor just to find out your hands are too big to reach the final inch?

You think an h1 is “hard” to work on, try any modern diesel. You’d stop b1tching.
modern diesels are significantly easier 💀the 6.5TA is not that annoying but when its squeezed into the tiny engine bay of the h1 its kind of a pain. most modern diesel trucks are designed to have the cab be easily removed for bigger repairs like injectors rockers EGR systems etc. worked in construction for a long time and i have a bit of experience working on just about everything, 2 stroke detroits, international motors, cats, cummins, off highway stuff mostly
HMMWV DONT HAVE A/C
you are right, Mine is a Cavilan-built hummer, not an ex-humvee. but I forget who makes them but there is a company, probably several companies, that make kits to add AC to ex hmmwv's I've seen them at car shows
That’s where you’re wrong. Some have ac
A car with no frame, and a very wimpy motor
Worst year, my pickup truck would wax that T/A
wimpy motor sure big daddy GM didn't want anything to outshine the corvette, That's why this one is getting an ls4 swap so stay tuned👀 but the Fiero does have a frame. it has a space steal frame that the urethane and carbon composite body panels snap or bolt into. it was one of the first mass-produced cars to use this construction method. this method of construction is used by nearly all cars built today for weight savings and ease of replacement of damaged body panels. that space steal frame is also part of the reason why the Fiero is the only American car to my knowledge to have a 5-star crash safety rating without airbags
@@pickles4412 that's why it was a flop, I drive an all aluminum frame, body, suspension, engine, 2004 NSX, it's been up to 183 in 6th at 8000 rpm
@@BlakeH-mx5mm if you want to call nearly half a million units sold over 6 years a flop be my guest. that's more units sold than the first gen nsx and all gens of the MR2 combined while only being sold in the USA but ok bud.
@@BlakeH-mx5mm also you are one to talk the nsx was a flop not once but twice my dude 💀
Other then that is maintenance pretty straight forward? I've been lookin at getting a ex military humvee and upgrading all the general stuff
so my h1 is not an ex-military truck 💀mine a civilian-built one. but there is a lot of weird stuff that needs to be fixed with these trucks military or civilian. for the biggest hummer-specific thing. blow the radiators out really good, the 45-degree angled cooling stack catches and holds a lot of debris like falling leaves and whatnot. also, helpful hint, when you go to an auto parts store do a vehicle search for a mid-90s GMC 3500 truck, idk what it is but if you search up an am general hummer in the auto parts store database a lot of parts that should fit don't come up.
The H1 is garbage.
Why would you condider vents on the front trunk? Sorry if silly question.
not at all the intended use of the louvers placed that far forward to allow air that passes through the cooling stack to vent out the top of the hood instead of going back underneath the car and creating aerodynamic lift the next video i uploaded in my little series is a video explanation of this here ruclips.net/user/shortsOMTLbhAuUmA?si=FdQiolNa4V-2h9Uq
You have an H1 with AC. You've won. The mechanic pays the price with his knuckle flesh. If you're one in the same, then you're even.
Can confirm the non military garbage motor company vehicles have stupid design choices just like this too
true, Derot Diesel always have some wacky engineering no matter what they are in
Comprei uma aqui no Brasil e no primeiro jogo quebrou e não engatilhava mais mandei na loja que consertou e me enviou consertada então fui testar em casa e quebrou novamente agora não para aberta quando acaba as BBS.Não recomendo quebra fácil muito fraca.
