Mathematician Prof. Tsuyosi Mori

The last day of this year in the morning, dark, cold and chilly outside.
NHK casted about an interesting mathematician, Prof. Tsuyosi Mori who went away in 2010 already. He said followings.
Some wasting produces the safety room of leading life.
He had a habitual curious person to get into any matters he felt some interests.
He did anything because it was interesting.
It relatively easy to tell how interesting it is but not easy correct it is.
As an opinion, continuation so long time the same thing may be the same as to duplicate my self to another past myself.
The human life span is divided into 4 intervals with 20 years lengths, so is consists with 4 times of 20 years.
The stage dress was excellent designed for Kumiko who sang "Pray" in NHK Kouhaku this year, imaging the cranes for peace and recovery desire from Atomic Bomb Radiation disease. But some 12 years girl went away because of Radiation sickness with sadness. Though we could lived safe lives after that, we should not make any person grieve.

JP C segment


I just gave up to have excessive desires on newly designed C segment automobile produced by TOYOTA. I realized the limitation on rear arm supporting design with too much compliance. However precisely I might adjust and set the wheel alignments and constructive geometries, astringent steering was not obtained, NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz was the automobile. But no body of my friend complaint about this uncertain and pointless steering reaction, if the car goes straight. So, I was obliged to change my beliefs on automobile's steering reactions.
Recent tire change on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model with Impreza GC8 GDB suspension from Eco tire to Bridgestone POTENZA RE-01 realized me of the importance of compliance balance and rubber application with various hardness. Even a small rubber parts replacement into different hardness causes tremendous changes of axle compliances.
It's easy to imagine that the rubber hardness setting has been performed by the factory test drivers with desperate efforts because they were paied because of the tasks to serve the new model betting the future of their company.

Staying at home

Though I got up 5:15 in the morning as usual, my back aches.
I feel better stay in bed all day long doing nothing. In accordance with aging the health recovery takes time, so too much working hard is not favorable.
I'm planning about the fuel copper pipe line holdings on VW 1302 Super Beetle, clumping with some piece of wood would be better. About the horn with no action, the circuitry or the horn part itself must be known previously as the cause.
Bare in mind that the ball recirculating steering gear box has no way to be replaced into new part because no production nor resale nowadays in the market only for right handled model of 1302 Super Beetle. Then some prevention must be performed on the wear of this gear box applying some anti wear material would be the better, Microron?

The reason why I prefer the mechanical and electric field to another ones like psychological mystery is easy to access to the conclusion if my intentions is on a straightforward way. No complications there though it may accompanied with physiologic difficulties.

The diagnosis by professional internal medicine revealed my lung has no problem and clear & clean. Some nurse informed me of the geriatrics patient with Respiratory disease showing no sign, no fever nor inflammations and sometimes come to the result too late.
I had some bad experiences to have inhalation of garage dust histories twice in very near pasts, leading to the anxiety that the X-Ray film shows blacky shape at pneumatic tissue portions.
Anyway all the anxiety was wiped out and the inconvenience of my body condition comes from just fatigues for this year. Taking rest without any physical movement is the first to health recovery.

Severe condition

The business work in my lab finishes today, I'll be free 12 hours later with worst body condition, no stopping hiccough since last evening.
This cold weather makes me have some suspicion on global warming of the Earth.
About the restoring 40 years old VW 1302 Super Beetle, almost of replacement parts to be exchanged into new ones are prepared for this holiday's works.
Judging from the reliable weather forecasting, almost of holidays are occupied by severe conditions ones. I must do servicing enduring windy, snowy and cold out side works. I make it a rule to take the situation as better than do nothing in spite of bad circumstances.
How about setting the D-Day on the end of coming January or on the beginning of February, Legal Inspection Test day obtaining license plates.
Almost of mechanical performances have acquired by finishing brake system, for the next horn and stopping lamp are waiting for me as electrical wiring checking. Yes, special mechanism of wind screen washer must be checked also, trumpet mark for horn button and sift position illustration must be drawn on the shift knob or on the ash tray.

ECU adaptation

The ignition timing was changed into the standard value BTDC 10 degree, E1 and Te1 terminal in Diagnosis coupler was not shortened. The motor reactions were felt like different automobile, gradually the strange phenomena disappered, the studing capability of ECU must be activated. As the conclusion, the EFI fuse must be removed to initialize the computer adaptations, precise adjusting must be performed in the conditions of upper descriptions.

Consideration on Flat Motor

The bulk of frontal bonnet is decided by the mechanism component inside.
For example a rear engined and a mid engined automobile, far thinner design may be possible than the models with another engine layout.
Then how about Flat 4 or Flat 6 frontal engine designed ones, SUBARU B4?
In spite of thin and low motor design, frontal bonnet is not so thin as desired, why? Inspections opening bonnet reveals the facts that the completion equipments are occupying the upper part of the flat motor especially intake manifold and surge tank. With all the thin flat cylinder layout, much more different designing must be possible, but actually not?
The SUBARU car designer does not want lower frontal fender design like Porsche or initial Legacy model and intends to be as same as Line Motored ordinal another frontal engine models instead. They wanted some extrusions and bluffs for new Legacy models.

Ball joint works left undone

Overworked myself yesterday on VW 1302 Beetle, so the muscles in my body aches everywhere, arms, hands, legs, shoulder and back. Two more days are left to work this year. Let's continue working till the end of this year.
Broken and packed in the rear number flame was removed by disassembling the flame body from rear gate.
Replacing exhaust pipe could obtain more silent Ex noise, basically noisy as to be heard the "sound of silence" when the engine stopped on the way.
Next comming holidaies would be occupied by the tasks of frontal steering ball joint linkage renewals.

VW 1302 Tail pipe




Though main muffler genuine parts is prepared previously, it bacame unnecessary for the time being. Exhaust tail pipes looked like sticked with rusting throughly and impossible to remove from muffler connections at the begining, but my desperate and consistent efforts made it possible to separate them on both sides.
New parts are not made of iron material but stainless steel special material. The oldest memory in myself 40 years ago came out the genuine standard value, setting length 170mm, the shinny pipes were set so firmly.
The coupler terminal was so fragile as to pinch to obtain enough pressure easily destroyed like decaying. The brass connector was replaced into new parts. Metal hardening phenomena must be the reason.

Residual tasks on VW1302


VW 1302 Super Beetle would be checked on the electric circuitry of horne and brake lamp. Then main residual procedure would be only on the emission control. Exhaust gas would be measured on two materials, Hydrocarbon and Carbon Oxide and Hydrocarbon, 4,5% and 1200ppm promptly, utilizing special device equipped in the TOYOTA dealer's factory.

Though I'm not interested in general politics, I write something important down here.
Mr. Hiromu Nonaka, former chief secretary of LDP appeared in the TV early in this morning. He grieves the current diet of parliament nowadays putting emphasis on lack of Dignity and Character of especially the young legislators belonging to both LDP and DP.

Rare Metal Motor

Rare Earth Metal is mainly utilized in Magnetic Motor productions because of powerful performance since 30 years ago. Japanese technology is excellent in the super strong motor production field.
Technical advantage exists in our country but the right to control the production owes on the country of origin, Red China. We should recognize the actual situations and should prepare countermeasures enough for these 30 years interval. Far from enough strategy as usual.
Remember here that a production of Hi-Brid car consumes tremendous natural resources some districted area on earth now on the land of China.

Inconveniences

It's difficult to seek and to find out that's invisible. The same is said on wheel alignment and axle construction geometry. But actually feel some differences on steering reaction comparing the before and the after, then getting accustomed to the situation sooner or later. These challenge were repeated for these several years with a little improvement.
On BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, almost satisfied as I am, some dissatisfaction remains, straight running almost OK, compliance setting OK, hysteresis are adequately eliminated no ploblem but the transient of steering reaction is not favorable gaining harder reaction proportioning with the action angle.
This phenomena must be caused by ill setting on TOOT (Toe Out On Turn) in frontal axle geometry. And main reason of this inconvenience dues to the change of height 35mm low down, causing the destruction of the important 3 dimensional relation between Rack end point and tie rod end point.
The best way to solve this unpleasant problem is the replacement of suspension coil spring from GC8-GDB's to original ones. Strut upper mounts including rear ones must be replaced at the same time if this task may be performed. The genuine parts number would be checked by Minami Osaka Kishiwada SUBARU.

Working place in my lab room #2 lacks the thermal fuse on oil pressure control solenoid valve by shortening for emergency.
The temperature of solenoid coil had been risen by water pilling on printed circuitry board leading to circuitry shortening.
Thermal fuse 185 degree must be replace instead of shortening, otherwise #2 is free from breaking fire dangers.

To know the possibility

Statistic analysis is one of the challenge to be overcome by me. Specific words are invited in the field, so the word definitions must be understood first. This kind of word and definition has little to do with general person and without any relations with them people can do lead a happy life with no doubt.
But the point that understanding of the phenomena of view, the conclusion and the point to reach finally are completely different after all, if the understanding of statistic analysis is enough, probably I guess so, with the help of the principle of Poisson distribution. I'll never reach a strange port.
Mean, Median, Maximum, Minimum, Distribution, Variance, Deviation, Confidence interval and Possibility, etc. are the professional terms to be correctly understood in the field.

Voltage doubling circuitry


Thanks to the informations on Website about the power rectification, longstanding question has solved this morning.
The reason why the doubling rectifier circuitry is not so common is the danger of the too much and unnecessary current supply in spite of cheap transformer -less circuitry. Though I have an experience of electric shock under the condition of drinking alcohol, the current was mA revel. But bare in mind that the careless electric shock leads to the death by E-shock because of enough amount of current, the circumstances would be changed from hobby toy to dangerous industrial high voltage and high current power supply, also leading to danger on fire breaking out.
Additional description in the evening:
Ignition timings were checked on VW Super Beetle and EP82 TOYOTA Starlet, the former 1mm slower and the latter 7 degree faster, both of them were corrected firmly.
Thanks to my friend's assistance, the work of discharging bubble in brake line was closely performed and several bubble were eliminated obtaining sure and tight brake pedal touching.
Hitting portion on coil spring lower support of frontal strut R/L struts were ground several times eliminating unnecessary touching with broaden wheel inner surface.

2010年12月22日水曜日

Tax-processing



I must prepare something valuabel for tax puroses, digital timing light would be the first. EP82 TOYOTA Starled would accept ignition timing measurement also. Possibility to know Dwell Angle may be convenient for point embeded distributer in VW Super Beetle. After clearing Legal Inspection in District Land Transport Bureau in Kobe Ohgi, 009 type distributer would be tested especially on flat and no accelaration reaction phase.

Ending this year

Even with a race they kill each other using howitzers because of different ideologies in the neighbor country. Remembering 65 years ago, if our country Japan was controled dividing into two or three pieces, US,Russia and China, what would happen later here in Japan, the result must be the same as miserable Korean countries now, the Nothern and the Southern. I hope no continuation like this fighting.

This year is ending leaving less than two weeks. Most of holidays would be consumed by automobile servicing without being bored on VW 1302 Super Beetle.
Wheel limb hits on suspension coil spring lower support when steering is turned left side, check out, probably because of broaden limb width.
Electric circuitry on horn, brake lamp and earthing procedures must be performed.
Fuel line clumping by some rubber material.
Brake line fixation by inserting grommet.
Anyway servicing on VW Beetle would continue to restore firmly as 40 years ago.

Refugees


The most of Australian population has been occupied by foreign immigrant since 1850 in the Gold rush. Probably the immigration were performed with small ships like photo shown above. Even now the country has something to do with it's mother county UK, proving the fact because of small Union Jack at the corner of thier National Flag. Is it impossible to say that Australia was establishe based on invasion and plunder on earth, exactly the same as United States. Originally native people were leading happy lives promptly until European invaders came unfortunately.
Then the natives on the lands are leading their happy lives now pormptly?
They are not isolated into barren lands?
No invasion is allowed, though they say, who did it few hundreds years ago, not so old story?

Max Barrier cleared

Most important mechanical construction was cleared yesterday on VW 1302 Super Beetle. It was ultimately lucky to get out the clogged material in the brake pipe line, otherwise clogging phenomena should have obliged me to replace all the pipe lines. The procedure to establish brake system yesterday gave me the confidence to have cleared the maximum barrier on Super Beetle.
Next step is steering linkage, replacing some ball joint in hinge positions.

Short test running on this brake revealed VW 1302 Super Beetle let me peep some possibility of future life with this machinery with commuting to the heart. Right handle position and automatic trans-axle automobile obliges the driver use the specific function only a half of right side hand and leg. So, new commer VW with right handle and manual trans-axle gives me some healthy circumstance to use all of may hands and legs.

Stands in with me!


God stands in with me!
Though I'm prepared for the worst case to replace all the brake line pipes on VW 1302 Super Beetle, desperate trial efforts had drawn out the best result! Clogged chronic material came out from rear pipe connecter flange as shown in the photo.
Today this result made me hi,so evictions of buble and brake shoes precise adjustments were performed throughly. Test short running proved the inconvenience on wheel fitting while back gear is selected.
Brake light does not put on, check the wirings, horn also. Investigations are required on these problem and emission control must be checked by using timing light.

H1N1 swine virus

Human being has experienced three big pandemic by specific virus, Spanish, Asia and Hongkong colds. H1-N1 type virus was the reasons.
A virus is not an alive thing but a 1/10,000mm diameter cell package including RNA covered with two types of special chemical materials.
It comes not only into cell but also into nuclear depth and increases it's own RNA and comes out, it repeats this actions with human body cell destruction.
The body of virus is covered with two different types of proteins as mentioned already above, those biochemical materials are used promptly when it comes into cell passing through cell wall protected by special protain and getting out as newly produced RNA from it as so to speak key suited into the key hole exactly.
New type of H1-N1 virus with no preparations by immuno protection has already found by the institutes leading to 4th pandemic on earth,Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 so to speak Soviet cold.
Northern area in the world, this winter is the red signal, so informed by the researchers.

Because of Fun

Little did I dream that the clogged pipe line of rear brake prevent me from bubble removing work. In the worst imagination, the plunger piston positioning may be opposite, frontal side backward. Old parts, brake master cylinder disassembling would prove the truth. Anyway now I'm in marking time with no forward step. Troublesome work, removing clogged materials, provably tone rubber from plunger piston in brake master cylinder cups.
Interests should be found on the difficulty that cannot be foreseen, this is the indispensable funs to do this.

Continue servicing

Even after the replacement of wheel cylinder on VW 1302 Super Beetle, oil pilling was observed inner surface of frontal right wheel. So, disassembling brake system would show the reason clearly this afternoon.
Description in the evening:
My motivation to go forward on VW Beetle servicing was not a little eliminated by the accident this afternoon, though brake fluid tank was filled with liquid enough, rear left cylinder does not react jetting! Few seconds were necessary to understand the cause of those inconvenient phenomena, meaning clogged brake pipe! Remembering disassembled wheel cylinders inside last time, there were many worse pieces of black rubber, then who would promise me about clean brake pipes on earth.
It goes without saying that every pipe line should be cleaned thoroughly as natural common sense.
Pipe line cleaning would be the tasks for tomorrow, reminding myself.

I'm fond of mechanical controled machinery rather than computer controlled ones, on the other hand I studied DSP(Digital Signal Processing) this morning, produce new image file between the datum and make the movie look more smoothly by adding newly invented by special hi-tech processor, fantastic with fascination! Anyway incredible progress has been established in LCD field.

Finally negotiations on OKINAWA started giving them some amount of money at last, best lubrication, best medicine and best children's sweet for settling down any quarrels no matter how justifiable their claims are.

Ahead gradually

Though window screen was not iced so much the temperature outside was below zero degree Celsius, coldest day this winter.
Exerted myself on VW 1302 Super Beetle servicing from morning till dark at night with desperate efforts, restoring on brake system was almost established 99%, residual 1% is brake fluid filling and bubble emissions in lines.
Fallen rubber tubes connecting between brake master cylinder and fluid reserver tank, relatively long way, were replaced thoroughly with silicon tubes, witout body lifting up difficult and time consuming tasks on earth. Also brake shoes fitting in brake drums were ascertained again with best cares including hand brake system.
Broadening size of wheel invites unpredictable ploblem, the outer part of wheel inner surface touches on suspension coil spring lower support on strut construction a bit, grinding about 1mm solved this problem.
In the situation of negative camber application on frontal axle, the same kind of problem may occur again, the way to go would be wheel spacer insertions with 8mm thickness.
Slowly and gradually the step of restoring VW Beetle goes forward.

About the renewal tires on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, Bridgestone Potenza RE 01:
All the pressure on 4 wheels were set at 2,4 kg/cm3, one week later checking proved 3 wheels showed 2,2 kg/cm3 except left frontal one at 2,3 kg/cm3. After adjusting at 2,4 kg/cm3 on both frontal wheel, left side tendency disappeared.
So even 0,1 kg/cm3 difference caused strange steering reaction.
The reason of this physical phenomena is the lateral displacement of ground touching areas of frontal tires, this can be regarded as same as lateral offset of frontal axle, in another way, the checking is easily performed by this intentional method, setting different tire pressures promptly.

I just remembered a consideration about the self-energizing effect on the leading and trailing drum brake system. Brake shoe supporting point on the adjuster has some tolerance radially about 15mm, so the touching point fluctuate according to the factor caused by grinding for setting adjustments. It's easily imagined that the difference of Radial distance invites that of the lateral vector leading to lack of balance on self-energizing effct when activated. Then what'll happen in the circumstance with diffrent brake power, yes dangerous wondering when the stopping power exerted by the driver unintentionally.
Changing standing point of view, the touching and pivot position on adjuster's radial diameter 15mm may affect the taste of braking phase, because the interval from the begining of braking stage to the tire slipping phase is the true braking phase.

Cut off, Throw away and Leave from all

We often realize when change residences that how much area of former home were occupied by garbages, trash and dusts, in another words how much have we been obliged to lead a life in tight space on earth.
Today found I interesting book titled "Cutting away, desert all unnecessary and leave from all".
In very near future next year I must introduce this theory , because I must move to another place for The Station Development by Osaka City.

Scattered concentration


My concentration is scattered in every direction, this time to Prof. Michael. J. Sandel because I'm much moved by his lecture in "Justice". Thing are out of focusing in my mind. So, I'm going to inspect his articles served for these 10 years to know him much deeply. His theories may change something in myself on the way of thinking and the the things value for money.

Today I'll finish my works on VW 1302 to overcome chronic disease, brake system thoroughly before noon.
And the following tasks are establishing the emission gas control, valve clearance adjustments. ignition timing setting on distributer with complicated ATDC 5 degree vacuum diaphragm, carbureter fuel mixture setting with difficult bypass screw and volume control adjustment. Engine inspections requires timing light that had been thrown away imagining no future use several years ago.
Anyway many tasks must be overcome before VW 1302 Super Beetle would be capable to go on the public ways according to traffic regulations.

Before I forget it throughly I write down the information yesterday about Arteriosclerosis.
Recent sophisticated researches proved that compensating Macrophage has much to do with the Sclerosis on the inner lining of Artery especially on that of Aorta. Special construction of the Artery is the dumping efect of blood pulsations, this is why only the Aorta has extraordinary viscoelasticity comparing another Arteries. The internal mesh like fiber construction may be easily damaged the special chemical material exerted by macrophage, leading to Pulsating mass on Aorta. Additionally, blood pressure measurement needs the pressure of central one, the pressure of the Aorta immediately after the right ventricular of the heat, because the pressure shows the capability of the viscoelasticity of Aorta itself, heathy tissue has enough dumping power for consuming the pulse pressure changing effect.

Top news today


Phoenix has found out in "West Pond" in Yamanashi pref., being one of a Mt. Fuji surrounding 5 ponds. The name of newly found out is "Kunimasu", since 70 years ago, lost in "Pond Tazawa" in Akita pref. 
This is one of a top of achievement today that can truly rejoice.

MOMO Italy




I have some special planning on VW 1302 Super Beetle's handle, momo volks wagen boss #0248 is obtained from the YaHoo auction booth. Naturally some momo handle would be set on the boss with momo pitch 6 screws. As for me, I'm keeping the specific old handle, MAZDA genuine parts for Familia Rotary Coupe about 42 years ago, dad had bout for me as my first owner's car. So this memorious wooden handle would be set on my old Beetle again.
Considerations may be required to fit well including horn button hole adjustment.

Brake balance

The braking balance is deeply related another safety devices, ABS, ASCD(Anti Skid Control Device) and proportioning control valve. Without those sophisticated controls, the braking force balance between front and rear is very important, VW 1302 Super Beetle is the cace. Careful checking on specifications on brake system revealed the fact that the surface area of frontal brake shoes were increased by broaden the width from 40mm to 45mm depending on the increase of the 11AD 1600cc motor capacity(1200cc to 1600cc).
Though I planned to replace the frontal brake system into disk construction, another undesirable ploblems must be invited, so I determined to go as original drum brake on 4 wheels. Anyway accomplishment of brake system is the first, otherwise my Super Beetle cannot move even a meter.
The final brake system work would be performed tomorrow, for sure!


2010年12月14日火曜日

Leading & Trailing


Before I forget away I must write down about the important study on Leading & Trailing Construction Drum Brake. Though VW 1302 Super Beetle has no vacuum master to enhance foot brake pedal pushing power, I have been thinking that the reason was the back ground of inferior production technology or relatively lighter body weight, 870 kg. But the true reason of omitting vacuum master is the self-energizing effect caused by the leading side brake shoe. On the leading shoe the supporting position exists on the further portion of the inner circle of drum comparing with stopping power exerting frictional resistance by cylinder pushers. In another words the diameter of the supporting position in leading shoe is smaller than that of shoe surface and the difference of distance causes the outer vector when the shoe surface was activated mechanically. This outer vector is called as self-energizing effect.
There existed 1303 model with frontal disk brakes, so I hear, front and rear brake power balance must have been considered in combination with the brake master cylinder diameter balances, if changed the brake constructive design from drum brake system to disk brake one.

Whose friend?

Whose friend are you? We often ask this question to the person whom we don't know. Then the answer is former motorcycle gang.
In the middle of the night, before dawn, in the bar and with those kind of person, how shall we regard him?
We have no another way to recommend him as the person, following the proverb, "A bird with a feather gathers together.".
He should remember himself to be only a performer similar with street ones and to be a person far from dignity nor character.
We have been fed up with trifle and boring stories.

Like a phoenix

Front and rear wheel cylinders on left side were replaced on VW 1302 Super Beetle yesterday including brake shoes. Talking about the shoe fitting on drum brake housing, precise adjustment on lower adjuster points were required, in this procedure the more precise the better.
The residual works on brake system for this auto are right rear brake shoes replacement and braking surface finishing including frontal one and stop lamp switch sealing preventing leakage on brake master cylinder.
Though 40 years old and half dead automobile needs tremendous works to survive again on earth, step by step desperate efforts are overcoming difficulties.
Engine itself has no problem so the requirement "Running" and "Stopping" are almost fulfilled, left one is "Turning", steering linkage must be improved by replacing ball joints, parts are already kept.

Hard worker today


Worked I hard today in spite of lazy feeling all day long. I did many tasks, head light replacement into iodine lamp, Raydyot made in England with yellow bulb, but before actual replacement, I had obtained the important information about the circuitry of the couplers, comparing a originally settled sealed beam lamp with semi-sealed halogen lamp H4, the coupler are the same but the terminal positions are completely different, so the wiring adapters are prepared by Japanese lamp maker,Koito manufacturing Co..


My way is just change the positions of the terminals in the same coupler, it was successful by putting the common white at 9 o'clock position, yellow high beam at 3 o'clock, brown low beam at 12 o'clock promptly. Photo shows prior setting on the sealed beam lamp.
Different from Hella but English one at the same generation suits well, so I think?


Engine oil pilling on the muffler obliged me to remove head cover at left bank finding out the history of this 11AD motor, no unpleasant dirt was to be found around pretty locker arms, revealing this old VW Super Beetle was not used at downed, 30,000 km used was the true stroy.
Head cover sealer gasket was removed and cleaned to accept liquid silicon sealer application on both sides of gasket there.
So I did well today including wheel cylinder for front and rear left side with time consuming new drum brake shoes precise fitting.

Lazy

Cold weather and tired feeling on restoring VW air-cooled old Beetle prevent me from going ahead to the working place this morning. The analysis of this negative feeling looks like some barrier, dirty working on wheel drum and brake cylinders and sticked exhaust muffler to be replaced. And we are going to have 10 days winter holidays, some lazy feeling comes up in my mind, nothing obliges me to make haste, so I may postpone the tasks until those coming opportunities. But I may throw it away if I stop servicing on this damaged Beetle today.

Replacement of tires into more higher grip ones, Bridgestone RE-01 emphasized the error of constructive geometry of 30mm lowered BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, 3 dimensional positioning error on knuckle ball joint point error causes unbalanced TOOT (Toe-Out On Turn). The phenomena is very strange, just a breaking aversions on both forward and backward in turning phase. In order to compensate this problem the way is to the lowering ball joint position as they were, because they were hung upped by body lowering works.
Another solving way is to return the suspension spring into original ones, all the strange steering reactions would be wiped away and comfortable ride would be regained with a bit harder GDB shock absorbers were applied, Strut bolt positions must be re-checked 3 dimensionally before setting.
Simply replacement into different parts does harm to the automobile if they were genuine ones, scrub point, included angle, TOOT would be changed unintentionally.
Different parts changed by poor layman causes unpredictable physical phenomena. This modification for overcoming this inconveniences would be the future tasks in the next year.

Far better than the Original

Mr.Lovelin plays far better than the Original! In the situation of no preparations, the best
opportunity suddenly comes down on him and he is doing that far better!
He'll have the best reputations by this sudden understudy, and he'll be appointed as the lead instead of this time.


I'm so surprised at the high price of surface vinyl replacement on four chair table at 540,000 yen ! How come? Because the price of vinyl cloth material for that is only 12,000 yen then their handling fee would be 528,000 yen on earth? Whose income is it?

What's wrong on Wikileaks?
They makes it clear the cheating on the public by the government making little of us?
They shows the primitive and the stupid negotiations between nations?
The secrets must be shown clearly on the ground with the brighting sun shine, though it's too difficult to now about the behind of the histories without disappointments.
We should make all the secret clear if we say in the church, "God knows".

Diabetes


Special chemical material was found in the salive of American poisonous lizard, that awakes the activity of Pancreas to exert Insulin to limiting the level of blood glucose from the early stage of dyning. The lizard seldom take a meal all it's life, so the amount of the food at one time is huge but overeating itself does not mean much glucose in it dircurating blood, because the special chemical material in it's saliva controls well to awake it's pancreas to exert Insulin not to exceed adequate density of glucose in it's blood and electrolyte.
This information is the best news for the patients in chronic Diabetes.

Steering switch


The reason for the designing of steering switches and puddle switches is the concentration on steering reactions. It's very difficult to control automobile if geometry constructions nor wheel alignments were so adjusted as to be stable itself. Unstable automobile loosed self stability, so the driver is obliged continuous concentration to keep control. Nihon Seiko is researching on this point as "On center self stability", by setting some electric device on steering construction. This may compensate automobile constructive error, but the precise adjustment of automobile is the first, no?
Ill adjustments oblige to design handle switches, and self stability could be obtained after precise adjustments.

What's coming next?

I'm going to resign automobile maintainance course because I obtained the informations that the replacements of periodical replacement parts mainly rubber parts can continue the same automobile almost unlimitedly so long the motor and trans-axle fall in disorder as for me. So only one or two cars are enough for a person all through his or her life, so I conclude.
The latest car VW air-cooled 1302 Super Beetle would be last one for me to pay best attention, after this 40 years automobile restoring, I'll get out from this field to another one, though it's not decided yet.
I've been interested in Aviation Aerodynamics especially in an airfoil field, so I may go to the direction for the next target.

Device disorder



The surface roughness of micro switch contacts caused blowing of safety fuse 3A on my professional working place. In this case, only the replacement of 3A glass tube fuse would cause the same disorder, because the fundamental reason for fuse decay is the inrush current by the roughness of contacts. So both of them, a fuse and a micro switch must be replaced promptly.
Suppose if the service man is called to repair this inconvenience on professional device, his travel fee 7,000 yen and parts 3,000 yen must be paied instead of only the cheeper Chinese micro switch part 230 yen.
Micro switch has three terminals and central terminal moves in accordance with the control lever action and the pressure of contact pressure is firmly controlled by specially designed wound leaf spring inside.
Remembering the past for 22 years, no opportunity was experienced for repairing nor servicing, because I had been a member of designing of the device as a researcher.

Condition


We geriatric people should keep in mind that best cares must be taken not to break health condition especially in this transient season, because the age-related changes needs longer interval to recover usual conditions.
On the other hand, Health White Paper says that trying to keep so to speak regular life is not enough, at least once a month the athletic trial to use his or her physical capability utmost then recovering procedures are required.
Anyway adequate training for a human body is necessary to lead a good everyday life.
On coming Saturday, brakes on left side would be serviced, dirty works as they are, most important mechanisms on a vehicle must be established at any rate, then biggest problem would be eliminated on VW 1302 Super Beetle '71. Minor ones are horn,wind washer, head lights and motor adjustments including ignition timing and 34PICT/3 carburator,in case of failure new 009 distributor part is prepared.

Cross barrier


Desperate efforts yesterday had overcome highest hardle, replacement of brake master cylinder, leaving the works on F/R wheel cylinders. Precise adjustment of the brake shoe surface must be performed after expansions adjustment in order to obtain good brake reaction by drum system.
After establishing brake system, steering linkage ball joints replacement and the exhaust muffler exchanging procedures are waiting for me before the Legal Inspection in Kobe Hyogo Land Transportation Office next year.

Exhaustion





I've been tired out and been exhausted today, brake master cylinder and frontal right brake hose were replaced. Unfamiliar tasks on VW 1302 Beetle made me exhaust all the energy I had today. Anyway I made a step forward so slowly but so steady and so firmly instead.

Ascertain my intention




Yuko Arimori strong Olympic Malathon runner said in her lecture that the strong will and the effort to keep it all the time are the key to realize own dream in any field and it's not so difficult if the circumstances above could be satisfied.
Servicing on VW 1302 Beetle is relatively behind because of my back pain and cold weather, so re-ascertaining of my will may be necessary on new commer old Beetle.
Do I have strong enough intention to restore this 40 years old car?
Do I really have patience to continue much tasks from now as long as half a year?
My health condition would be kept well considering my age?
In my circumstance is it possible to continue this restoring work?
My intention for these 10 years is very simple that making the automobile go straight without unnecessary steering adjustments, if there are cars having tendencies to go right or left sides. By establishment of fundamental suspension geometries and precise wheel alignments could be realized by self-invented special devices , finding out reliable scaling point and eliminations of uncertainty mainly caused by deformable rubber constructing parts.
Do I apply the same procedures on VW 1302 Beetle?
I would reply in positive answers on the questions above.
Careful considerations on 1302 Beetle's trans-axle led me know the truth that the axle construction is very similar with that of vehicles nowadays, so the designing had been constructed and established as a finished one, so careful and precise scaling and adjusting of axle geometry and wheel alignment would show wonderful performances in future for me.
A had an opportunity to have dinner with my long lasting and intimate friend.
One of them is enthusiast driving Porsche Cayman with mid-mounting and water-cooled flat 6 motor, he had some complaint on the wheel alignment and no way to find out the engineer to adjust firmly in Japan.
There are quite a few person could do that all over the world, so I believe.
I wanna ask the same question, who and where except factory researching labo on earth?

Impression on BS RE-01

I have known about the BS RE-01 tire noise after the replacement on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model with Impreza GDB suspensions. Relatively noisy below 40km but above that no problem, soft compounded as it is, side wall hardness must be reinforced considerably. Ground contact capability is superior to former Eco tire, uncomparable on earth. Steering reaction is direct and sensitive with sensibility with reliable stability, no way to complaint. I did good decision on tire selection, trying to last these tires at least 30,000km.

Lie & abasement

Thanks to the VW 1302 body illustrations in web site, the precise construction of door hinge revealed so clearly.
Then it was a falsehood that in case of door distortion by hinge parts wear on Beetle, the replacement of the door itself is necessary and costs 300,000 yen. The owner of Takarazuka VW shop told me a while lie, because the illustration shows the possibility to sim adjusting on the door hinges.
Telling a lie for the money or selfish convenience would be shown clearly by the exposure like Wikileaks, leading to destructions of reliabilities and irreversible abasement.

Replaced tires



Replaced soft compound tire Bridgestone RE-01 contributes to far better steering reactions on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model than 7 years old Eco tire. NVH has great progressed on all requirements. Genuine 15 inch/2 pods frontal disc brake shows a little bit weak power because of the contacting power by new sophisticated tires.
Though the wheel width 5,5j is over sized for 165/80R-15 BS Sneaker tires, so unbalanced conditions were not to be seen both on the wheel and on the car. The lateral force resistance on 80 shaped BS Sneaker would be increased by the wider wheel.
In mixi web site, there are many enthusiasts in Air-cooled VW Beetle.
I'm going to throw some questions on them!

Works today

Tires replacements on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model and VW 1302 Super Beetle would be performed before noon today, Bridgestone high performance model Potenza RE-01 195/60R-15 for the former and BS Sneaker 165/80R-15 were chosen for the latter promptly. BC7 has obtained ultimate wheel alignment condition, so the RE-01 would exert best performance on my BC7, just I'm looking forward to experiencing new footwears.
The anvil parts on Fuji Air Tool FW-14PH-2 must be replaced into ordinal retainer type, in addition a plastic check valve.
The task afternoon would be on brake system of 1302, replacements of master cylinder, wheel cylinders on the left side, silicon tube connecting with reserver tank is already prepared, 9mm dia..
Reservation of Italian restaurant in Akoh, "Sakuragumi" on next week must not be postponed.
Some virus must be inhabitant in the web site of Wikileaks, a kind of cyberattack?

Looking forward to LIVT

I'm looking forward to coming Legal Inspection Vehicle Test.

Required tasks for VW 1302 Beetle are followings:
Replacements, brake master cylinder with stop lamp switch,
left side wheel cylinders,
ball joints in steering linkage hinge points 6 in total,
steering gear box universal joint boots,
wheels & tires,
muffler tail pipes or muffler itself,
gear box oil,
engine oil,
Exhaust gas check by special device,
Frontal toe-in checking,
Head lamps into H4 type, coupler terminal positions exchanging,
and rear seat must be moved for the convenience of checking chassis No.
Considering the circumstances, next year the better for legal inspection vehicle test.

12 times wheel alignments for over 10 years interval of trials made it possible to satisfy my dreamy desire to accomplish the ideal steering reactions.
For the sake of this happy event, I determined to replace the tires on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model into Bridgestone POTNZA RE-01, relatively older design, no other model had the tire size 195/60R-15 except RE-01.

As the suspension springs and shock absorbers are changed into Impreza GDB model's ones, this kind of high performance tire must just suit on BC7 Legacy. Engine mounts are also GDB's ones.
About BS Sneaker 165/80R-15 tires for Super Beetle, according to the opinion by some VW shop owner, two ranks up steering reactions would be desirable comparing with old designed Michelin XZX tires.
After acquiring the license plate on VW Beetle, the same adjusting procedures are waiting for me as performed before on BC7 SUBARU Legacy.

EP82 TOYOTA Starlet has some right side tendency, setback and thrust angle must be checked again. The clutch in starter motor sometimes catches and looses smooth returning, the parts is prepared as new rebuild parts.

XH200 Opel B-Vectra '97 model needs more precise scaling on thrust angle, because I feel some error on the straight running like 20seconds error though I'm not sure, value may be plus.

SXE-10 TOYOTA Alteza need also precise scaling on wheel bases and thrust angle checking, just a little bit more adjustments may be necessary.
Tasks on automobile as my hobby never be ruined.

Ants

As a proverb says,"Birds with a feather gathers together.",politicians gathers for money as usual. Unchanging old a story since time immemorial, this kind of simple story is not interesting to see them just gathering like ants for sugar. Mr.Ozawa plays a part of an Ant Queen, or King?
