I've rebuilt a few cars since then and always started with those steps.

[@YevhenRawrs]

That's what I was thinking. They also didn't point out it's not a permanent fix and you still need a proper patch or potentially new tire. Your next stop after using that godforsaken slime should be the tire shop, and you should come clean to them about what they used so the tech doesn't get splattered when they dismount the tire. Ask me how I know... 😅

[@Razmoudah]

@@YevhenRawrs You've clearly been that poor tech. I hadn't thought of that problem, as I figured it was designed to dry within a few minutes of air contact, but it does make sense that if it's still liquid it would make a mess.

[@TMW_ShadowStarr]

I still remember my auto shop teachers telling us during my freshman year of high school to let the mechanic(s) working on our wheels know if we ever used any thing inside so they can prepare.

[@moogle68]

@@Razmoudah I'm sure it does harden over time, but it obviously takes a lot longer for _all of it_ to dry than it does for the bit needed to make the patch that allows you to inflate the tire up again. As a consistently broke boi myself, fix-a-flat has saved my ass so much money and time that I don't think any new info about it will ever change my opinion of it away from being anything other than a godsend. When you're unemployed and broke, but still need to be able to drive, it's an affordable fix compared to the minimum of ~$50-60 that you'd have to spend at a used tire shop. It can also save you from expensive towing fees. I'm embarrassed to say it, but I've actually driven a few tires now down to the cords by just applying a can of Fix-a-Flat each time it got a leak, and each time it gave the tire a solid 1-3 more _months_ of life.

[@th3R0b0t]

@@Razmoudah nope, Slime stays soft, and it has a bunch of small rubber pellets in it(think like rubber sprinkles). The idea is the slime itself will slow the leak, until one of the rubber pellets finds it's way to the leak and trys to push it's way out and gets caught, or several stack on top of themselves and "seal" the leak. But it stays in the tire soft the whole time, and it is nasty to deal with.

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

Garage 54 is solid crazy-go-nuts content. Bose active suspension has been copied / reinvented / developed by a bunch of other companies, and there are other active suspension technologies out there, but it's always too expensive for normal production cars. But I've seen insane tricks with it, cars that can jump over foot-high obstacles, stuff that makes a lowrider look like a bank vault.

[@SplosionMovies]

Odi is a cool guest! He makes me super interested in suspension math.

[@jacobpettes335]

A suspension mechanic will say the first thing to upgrade when you make more power is the suspension, but really almost everything on the car needs to be upgraded if its not already rated for the amount of power youre trying to make. If you upgrade the engine, the trans will fail. If you upgrade the trans, the driveshaft will fail. If you upgrade the driveshaft, the diff will fail. If you upgrade the diff, the axles will fail.

[@zzoinks]

Especially brakes which the Mercury comet crash made painfully clear! (Except I'm sure that was also an example of pull over when something in the brakes is malfunctioning)

[@Flyby-1000]

I think you guys should absolutely do some reactions to Garage 54.... The stuff they attempt is freakin' amazing... some successful...some not so... but fun either way...

[@JachuJustyDriver]

Nio also bought some patents from Citroen regarding their hydropneumatic suspension, so the mix of those two (Hydractive + Bose) will be the perfect suspension ever created. I'm looking forward to it, as a previous owner of a car with Hydropneumatic suspension :D. And yes, you'll be able to drive fast with this suspension. The Xantia Activa is still the record holder in the moose test (the 2008 Porsche GT3 and 2017 McLaren 675LT didn't beat it)

I have a set of FEAL 442s (I think that's what they are) on my 92 AWD DSM. Good to see the owner of the company. Maybe I'll spend the money and have them rebuilt since they came with a car headed to partout. I learned (in school) that springs don't absorb energy. They just transfer the shock to the chassis at an "acceptable" rate. The shock "absorbs" the energy.

[@zzoinks]

It's cool to learn that the shock absorbs energy and converts it to heat! Neat example of physics outside of the classroom. Same with refrigerator/air conditioning. I wish that they could have those examples in a class

I like the duct tape on the coil over threads idea but duct tape tends to leave a lot of glue behind when you peel it off which might be harder to clean off than some road grime. maybe if the threads are greased so the tape doesn't stick to them and its just wrapping around and sticking to itself?

[@dyslectische]

Garage 54 is Russische KZbin channel. Really love the show of them. And things he beult its funny .

[@stanislavczebinski994]

That first clip is IMO a demonstration of "what will happen if we weld our worn-out shock absorbers solid?" Upside-down dampers have the advantage of less unsprung weight as the heavy part of it hangs from the top instead of standing on the lower control arm. If you want to go fast - that's what you want. Bilstein makes those. They last as long as other good-quality shocks. Depending on model and use - ~150,000mls.

[@ClellBiggs]

The magnet one was from Garage 54. They do a lot of cool stuff.

little sad y’all didn’t cover the *Citröen* hydropneumatic shocks they built in the 1950s for the *DS* that is the most comfortable ride i’ve ever had in a car.

[@caddyguy5369]

11:52 I drove an $800 Bonneville SSEi with blown shocks for about 7 years before I did the suspension recently. I could have bounced just like that car. Especially after gutting and making substantially lighter. I didn't drive it much if at all in the winter. It tried to unalive the driver enough in the summer. Keeps ya on your toes. Takes a lot of skill to not look like a drunk driver, especially if you get an officer behind you. When I did suspension I found out I was driving with a partially collapsed steering column for about 5 years. Still need to do the steering rack and inner tie rods. At some point go to the desert and find a rust free body.

[@caddyguy5369]

[@huequeen8]

OMG that is Odi. He is the reason why I watch formula d.

[@revenevan11]

Kia has a "mobility kit" in some models instead of a spare tire, it seems almost exactly like that "slime" kit that sponsored this video. Fatal flaw for the Kia kit for me was that the compressor stopped too soon (probably overheated since it was a hot summer afternoon) and so I couldn't drive it to mix the sealant around inside the tire and get it to plug the hole. It's a temporary fix even if it works, but it didn't work *at all* for me because of that. In hindsight having used it once now, I could have probably made it work even with that happening by just driving slowly on low pressure down the road so the sealant could reach the leak hole that happened to end up on the top of the tire when I parked... but I was close to an autozone so I just got a proper patch kit with those rubber twizzler lookin' things and it's held since! I know tire shops will tell you that the goop sealant stuff will basically melt the inside of the tire and ruin it, but since I ended up using a solid patch in the end mine is holding just fine until I can buy all new tires next month 😁 so at the very least it doesn't seem to destroy your tires *quickly* or anything. Now I've still got the mini air compressor from my car's kit and I put the leftover uses of the tire patch kit i bought into my trunk where the Kia "mobility kit" slime bottle originally was. Neither kit can fix sidewall damage so now it's just a better version that doesn't compromise the tire long term and actually works imo.

The Bose suspension didn’t make it to the mass market because of pricing (around $20k) and when it was developed, computers were too big to fit on the trunk of the car and connect all the sensors needed. Years passed and instead of using the suspension on cars, they ended up using it in a seat 💺… yes, a seat for trucks and it’s called Bose Ride. It’s a plug and play system for the big rig trucks that have air cushioned drivers seat.
