[@craZivn]

I wasn't worried at all! Those office chair shocks were probably made for a global market and the back end of that car weighs less than four average Americans, so the shocks were really overrated for the job.

[@lilymalacon944]

This chair was fairly easy to put together, the instructions were clear and I was about to follow along with no issues at all. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble. kzbin.infoUgkx5hPALGI87E991DRmXev8PUFJGrrRcONS I did stuff the back of the chair with a pillow so it wouldn’t be so hollow after taking all the pieces out but that’s just a personal preference. I also added a pillow for lumbar support because although this is a great chair and is comfortable, it’s not necessarily the best if you’re sitting 10+ hrs a day wfh but in all honesty for the price, I didn’t mind at all. It looks great in my space and easily adjusts the height when needed.

This was cool. Hey, Garage 54 Fellas! How many Radiators In-Line before Water Pump Failure?

[@SwapBlogRU]

Why would the water pump fail in that sort of situation?

[@pflaffik]

I think those old fashion fanbelts will slip if the pump pressure gets too high, or the pump will simply pump but not manage to move the water. No failure will happen, i had exploding coolant systems due to blown headhaskets and even then the waterpump survive. I have seen old volvo waterpumps with broken blades, doubtful its pressure though, more likely calcium buildups and high age (the rotor is cast, not machined, high deterioration rate).

For a softer ride you can do the following setup: You build a U shape for the spring to sit in. Connect these chair cylinders to the sides on the top of the U shape and the other ends to the rear axle. This way it will use the spring, but also can change the ridehight.
