Not so favorable


Pain on my back moved from Pelvis to lower portion of Erector Spinae this morning, I hope this would be a good sign to recover myself soon. But anxiety is the rate of dull but considerable pain does not change from the beginning lust Thursday? Anyway the quicker the better.

The medical expenses up to 36 trillion yen, this number is all-time high, and the 6% of that would be distributed into dental field, the reason of reduction in number once 10% is that the inspection curriculum is not served like medical field just nothing, so because of repeated trials to increase the treating and inspection items far exceed dental ones these 40 years.

Much more researches in the Universities must be done and be establish the way of inspecting geriatric patients to qualify the dental treatments?

As never before I do not start VW AD motor for one week, manual trans-axle and direct propagation of NVH are the potential reasons why my fingers catch the Beetle's ignition key.

An automobile easy to drive is very convenient for injured or ill driver with any dysfunctions. Especially power assisted steering, and a powered window regulator and automatic trans-axle are thankful so much. In addition to the lighter body weight below 1,000kg make all the attitude so lean as to make the driver feel comfortable. NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz has all the required performances above.
I have no other desire on this automobile for my daily use.

Vitz's right side joint in drive shaft began to make clicking noise again, this time DOJ that I had not maintain lust time, lateral backlash must be checked, at the worst parts replacement might be possible.
Motor, trans-axle, suspension and another construction are favorable except the frontal strut upper mount on both side, too much deformed.

Datum for VW 1302 Super Beetle

In order to assume the correct ignition timing on the outer surface of crank pulley in VW 1302 Super Beetle, initial position of BTDC must be marked precisely, because the point is the terminal standard position to rely on for the later adjustment dependent on 175mm diameter pulley.

zero to 11,5mm=7,5 degree/850rpm idling rotation

zero to 46,0mm=30 degree/3,000rpm maximum rotation

The obtained datum on the size of generator bearings.

35-15-11 outer-inner-axial thickness

The capacitance of that on distributor for ignition coil.

0,22-0,33 micro farad

Physical desiging of Compliance

One week has passed since the accident on my Pelvis slipped hernia occurred, but still now I'm suffered from dull, spontaneous and continuous pain on the portion, it's too long comparing with the past?

Today I wanna put an emphasis on the fact and the truth following.
Unusual ill body condition of myself had good opportunity to think over the compliance of my body especially of soft tissues between bone construction in good circulations of the fluid electrolyte balance including Intercellular fluid.

More importance is the over weight of myself,
almost 20kg of unnecessary G factors are distributed in all of the joint in my bone construction, so the reduction of the body weight is the first, also this leads me to the anti-aging world on earth.

Conclusion is "Not to eat", because overeating myself would definitely shorten my life, no way to hide the truth.

Now the only acceptable automobile is NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz in 5, VW 1302 Super Beetle, BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi 4WD US model, XH200 OPEL B-Vectra, SXE10 TOYOTA Altezza, they are all in harder suspensions and less compliance any way.

Also the ill back and hip condition of myself now gave me a indispensable opportunity to think over about the compliance of the chassis constructive designing from the different standing point of view.

A new and a different concept is not always wrong if it is not acceptable only in the beginning.

Not a car but my body repair!

New generation axle designing on NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz is very convenient for my ill Pelvis condition. Frontal lower arm rear compliance bush has enough buffering effect and the rear axle beam construction and deformable hinge bush also absorbs almost of the shock from the rough ground surfaces.

The information from 4 wheel are dilute, so to speak driving in a 3 wheeler automobile.
I have 3 choices which car shall I take, VW Super Beetle, SXE10 TOYOTA Altezza and NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz every morning, without any hesitation I take the key of Vitz subconsciously because of the reason written above.

Almost 5 days have passed since I had fallen into seriously ill like a cripple, but the pain on Pelvis portion by the Lumber hernia has not been reduced enough, very gradually I would recover this ill condition and try to any attempt for the purpose, the reduction of self-body weight is the first, 15kg is on the line of the aim.

Replacement of backup battery CR2032/3V equipped on the PC mother board in working laboratory has recovered it's original and normal performance, I have been obliged to boot set up from BIOS for every morning start up showing C-Mos setting is wrong, remembering the past this procedure is secondary one, how long has this system used since in 1999, default setting shows the basic setting date?

NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz as a World Strategy Car



New generation axle designing on NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz is very convenient for my ill Pelvis condition. Frontal lower arm rear compliance bush has enough buffering effect and the rear axle beam construction and deformable hinge bush also absorbs almost of the shock from the rough ground surfaces.

The information from 4 wheel are dilute, so to speak driving in a 3 wheeler automobile.
I have 3 choices which car shall I take, VW Super Beetle, SXE10 TOYOTA Altezza and NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz every morning, without any hesitation I take the key of Vitz intictively because of the reason written above.

Almost 5 days have passed since I had fallen into seriously ill like a clipple, but the pain on Pelvis portion by the Lumber hernia has not been reduced enough, very graducually I would recover this ill condition and try to any attempt for the purpose, the reduction of self-body weight is the first, 15kg is on the line of the aim.

Adjusted Wheel alignment on VW Beetle

Remembering the time when frontal geometry and wheel alignment adjustment on VW 1302 Super Beetle 6 month ago, the Camber value on the right side was positive about 10 minutes and left side was negative 20 minutes. Right side running habit tendency was apparently observed when she had come to me about 1 year ago.

The strut upper mount should be inside and lower arm lateral adjusting cam should be outside for attaining negative camber like left side.
With round file the holding hole were adjusted making slotted holes. This necessary procedure must had been moved the right hub position outside laterally, this geometrical change must have something to do with the minus trust angle formation found last time.

Anyway now the zero thrust angle and about 2mm total toe condition for rear axle is established leading to more natural steering reaction and transitions, with no specific complaint.----Except for my body healthy condition, the lumber hernia caused by Pelvis slipped down.

Though I could not run as before, walking slowly is available and I'm capable to drive a automobile if the trans-axle was automatic one.
Probably I'll recover myself in a week, so I pray!

HONDA Civic Type R?

Sporty automobile so designed as to pass through the ordinal traffic at higher speed, stronger motor, wider tires and harder suspension are the proof.
Why is it necessary to run at higher speed and to pass through another automobiles, he must have mistook to regard the public traffic as a racing circuit.

I do not inhibit him to run at higher speed but allowed in closed circuit only. You may do that under the requirements, a modified racing car of course with out legal license plate and a carrier car must be prepared, it possible.
You are not allowed to disturb any public traffic at all, remember this point.
I'm going to stop his planning to purchase new Civic Euro Type R.

When I look at my son, I wanna help him to make his dream come true if it is irrational perspective, but the choice of myself would differ if the future result is easily imagined, running about in a modified automobile on public traffic scattering inconvenience to others in addition to the increased possibility of a traffic accident.
In case of such situation he would have some life-threatening danger?

2011年9月25日日曜日

HONDA Civic Type R

Finally we didn't find out the way to make my son understood not to purchase Civic Euro Type R at 3,000,000 yen at all. He has now only eyes, ears and nose only for Honda European made Civic?

Though I have told about the inconvenient results, being looked down on, continuous stress & frustration by surrounding slow traffics and the poor safety mechanisms compared with German automobiles, no reaction but Honda was obtained.

Then how do you deal on your automobile, SUBARU 3L Legacy bought at 3,800,000 yen? You took it from me and modified her like a Monster, suspension, intake system & ECU reprogramming, exhaust pipes and muffler, seats and center console all changed, no?

You don't realize that your emotional condition is controlled by some trifle penny magazine article?

You will earn 200,000 yen if sell it?

Pelvis slipped hernia

Displacement of Pelvis was observed on the X-Ray transparency yesterday, though right side down 3 to 4 mm from frontal view, bone twisting to counter clockwise direction must has been brought out in the different dimension.
This is because of clutch pedal actions for a half a year driving in VW 1302 Super Beetle.

Predicting future problems on my elderly body condition, clutch linkage arm had been exchanged into long and lighter load genuine parts for the safety of my left leg, but slipped hernia on Pelvis portion actually caused. Lighter but extended distance must have increased the stress on hip muscles?
Tens years of driving only the automobiles equipped with automatic trans-axle had been made my construction so lazy like this condition.

It looks like darker to keep VW 1302 Super Beetle in future by myself, though the wheel alignment and geometric correction last time had established almost perfect condition.
Unexpected accidents happen, when, where, how and why are unknown?

Straight back

I'm suffered from strained back since yesterday after servicing on VW 1302 Super Beetle. While tightening the 19mm bolts I twisted inconvenient direction on my hip. The critical phenomena is lasting this morning, but I dare digest today's task at any rate.
The promise for tomorrow should be all canceled.

Rear axle corrected on Beetle

Wheel base size difference, R/2425mm, L/2428mm, was corrected into R/2428mm, resulting in thrust angle correction also, minus to zero.

After correction strange habit like some sense of potential instability while straight running almost completely disappeared.
As a very personal opinion, the reason why I hesitate to drive any automobile belongs to another person is to the point.

Two steering wheel centric position were cleared, one is for frontal thrust direction and the other is for rear thrust angle dictated direction, though the difference was relatively small value, 2mm at handle post markings.

Repositioning of right hub case loosening 4 of 19mm headed bolts and elongation of trailing length 3mm twisted the lower arm clockwise with the center of lower arm inner hinge position and the too much toe was corrected into the same value as left side.

Consequently the minimum adjusting procedure attained maximum results, wheel base correction, total toe value reduction and thrust angle setting at zero degree. Total toe value must be checked if toe out condition is not formed.

Judging from the see through checking from behind about 30mm shallower tread is established after the adjustment today. F/1379mm and R/1350mm treads shows that the ideal total toe must be established with optimistic observation?
This will be proved on next opportunity coming soon scaling with special device equipped with LASER pointer system.

Several trials are tested on ignition timing on VW 1302 Super Beetle today, now setting is 12,5 degree BTDC. No problem but exhaust gas smells with the tendency of too rich mixture.

Poor desire

His mind that is exactly like in exploded love could not be changed by external pressure however reasonable it may be.

I have no way to make him understood the manner, now is not the time to spend money because of the reasons, the working laboratory is moving to another place following the Station Development, the basic platform of Civic Euro R is shoddy entrance model "Fit" with no rear torsion beam axle design renewal like TOYOTA did from "Auris" to "Brade", rear main trailing arm hinge bush is liquid impacted one with some anxiety of life and I must earn money 15,000,000yen in order to give him 3,000,000yen considering about the 20% of profit rate on my business.

Now I ask to myself, "Do I work 75 days from early in the morning to late at night to purchase a trifle kid's toy?". Without writing, nooo.

Though Honda Civic Euro Type R would be so the poor lust present as his Dad to him, my capability to continue working has been reduced recently because of age, no hope in future.

B-Vectra & Beetle

B-Vectra has specific construction design on intake way for automatic air conditioning system, accessing to the evaporator surface from the out side just behind the bulkhead.
After removing fan and motor the destination was opened, application of foaming cleaner and washing away with water procedures reduced nervous mold smell considerably.

Just 10 degree misperception of ignition timing changed the personality of VW 1302 Super Beetle, strongly active and lively like different model. At the same time I realized the importance of combined relations between, ignition timing in both idling and acceleration with smooth transition, point gap, centrifugal advancer, vacuum advancer, also including automatic choke module angular position, valve timing and plug gaps, because they are affecting each other so intimately.

The adjustment on VW AD 1,600cc motor gives me so pleasant opportunity, reminding 1 year ago it was thoroughly good to had been ventured to purchase this 40 years old Beetle. She is just an indispensable object for my daily life now.

Breaking impasse

There exist several habit in passenger's automobile to have a habit to go right side and to do left side, then the automobile to straight without strange steering reactions may exist on earth.

I have been in the very simple question above and in some sticky frustration for over 40 years since I was 18 years old. I have been suffered from something impossible to overcome because of impasse.

In spite of own desperate effort to solve the problem, visiting every dealer, consulting special division of the factory and the trips to Nagoya for the instructor of Sun Wheel Alignment Tester device Co. US, all in vain.

The time was about 10 years ago to have made up mind to do it by myself.
Many trials and experiments were performed to carry out the original purpose, to adjust the automobile run straight. Almost of my free time was consumed by the works on it, Thursdays, half of Saturdays , Sundays and National Holidays.

Measuring devices were designed and tested to obtain the repeatable datum on wheel alignments and geometric axle construction under the difficult condition influenced by deformable, movable and viscoelastic rubber materials.

Especially the physical property of hysteresis in rubber materials applied on every control arm was the most formidable enemy in the process, in addition with backlashes in the joints and the thin films of thickness for lubricant.

It took me much time to decide the repeatable basic measuring position on frontal hub outer surface. They would be the basic starting point for all of the later measuring and correction procedures for sampling datum on statistic analysis.

Measuring devices were also invented with desperate efforts by myself for vertically and horizontally precise measurement promptly with repeated several improvement processes.
The way was not flat at all but the knowledge and technology as the results obtained on the developing process were enormous for me.

Thank to the upper experiences for decade of researches, I could come to the level to understand the intention of the factory designer if I inspect the axle constructions from lifted up situation of the car with precise observations on the designing of bushes, the arm length, the 3 dimensional hinge positions settings.

Torsion beam suspension?

My son insists to buy new car, factory modified Fit called Special Civic at 3,000,000yen? How come? Is the model is worth purchasing for you?
It looks exactly the Kid's model unnecessarily too much decorated just a toy.

Basically, the factory would make effort to sell higher level model with the same platform as cheaper basic entry model, the rear suspension design would be changed into more sophisticated one, for example from torsion beam axle to multi linked designing as TOYOTA once did on "Auris" into "Brade".

The rear axle designing of modified Fit into Civic is not changed as it is, torsion beam axle, cheapest shoddy design?
As my perception, torsion beam axle designing is utilized only for shoddy F/F cheaper model and track frontal suspension combination with thick leaf spring.

Typhoon#15


She took the worst course for the people in Kinki, Tokai and Hokuriku, #15. Heavy raining is lasting since yesterday and rivers have lost their functions, overflowing everywhere!
Just I hope she should go down to Pacific Ocean do no harm to Japan Main Land on earth.

Anyway today would not be a day to deal because of raining cats and dogs, customer would be drenched to the skin before they reach to my working place. Before that, it would be much dangerous out side in addition to the rain fall, strong wind would amplify the Calamity.
Customer coming to us today would be very few?

It would be routine closed day tomorrow, Thursday, and the next day Friday is a National holiday, so consecutive ones are coming. Without any reason necessary person must come to me at any rate today.

My usual test driving course, inland lesion of Hyogo Prefecture is in urgent condition because of unusual extraordinary heavy rain fall, many a river are over flowed this morning, all of the Calamities are brought by misschievous #15 Typhoon coming across to Kinki area.

Many warnings to escape from over flowing are served by the Government.
Osaka area is going to be exposed by the storm in the daytime around noon today! It's really annoying, please go pass through immediately now without any damages to no one!

Electronic warfare

We Japanese people have unforgettable memory to have been defeated completely by US Military Forces while the WW2. The cause of Japanese defeat is mainly dependent on the sophistication of the military electronics devices, RADAR and VT fuse for high angle anti-aircraft gun.

Japanese engineers didn't know the fact of those technology until the War ended. Also they mistook to judge the B-29 accident on Japan island, they though and reported that US also had been suffered from luck of goods supply because the US fallen crews in T-shirts without oxygen musk looked so poor dressed.

Japanese pilot for the fighter interception must wear a heavy winter clothing because of low temperature below freezing ambient at high altitude over 10,000m.

But actually US technology had been established Turbine Pressurized high power combustion engine for high altitude bombing, Cabin pressurization system and fully automatic air conditioning devices, they are completely the same as the Airliners nowadays.

Then what I wanna say now here is "Do we have enough perceptions on the result of being hacked in Mitsubishi Company?". Military defense is so protected?

Mechanical control

Very trifle factors affect on the performance of the automobile motor, point gap, ignition timing and Air/Fuel mixture while idling.
Recent computerized car are all free from cares on them because of preset controls.

Even on the stage of Legal Inspection comes round every 2 years for a privately owned automobile, I've never realized the upper requirement as some urgent and important issues.
ECU in the modern automobiles controls so perfectly as to be completely forgotten checking items.

After establishing upper adjusting procedures in tough mechanically, I wonder how much tasks have been performed by the computerized electric components with perfect skill automatically?

On the other hand I feel some satisfaction after adjusting on fully mechanically controlled old automobile like VW 1302 Super Beetle.
In another words, adjusting the controls as I like in my own taste is the privilege for fully mechanically controlled old ones.

As for exhaust gas legal checking for emission control, 4,5% CO and 1200ppm HC are cleared if the idle mixture is well adjusted.
Solex 34PICT3 carburetor in VW 1302 Super Beetle has enough capability and good performance.

On VW 1302

The seat back cover of rear seat in VW 1302 Super Beetle was replaced successfully today. Some atmospheric change was seen in the cabin.
As a periodical maintenance point surface filing, point gap adjustment, lubrication on cam portions and ignition timing setting were performed.
Increased idling speed required bypass screw closing about 1/2 turn. Response and stability became far better.

Bankruptcy

Sunrise time becoming later and later these days, I feel the summer season has be over already on that point but actually hot days are lasting preventing my working in the daytime.

Children in Japan have reduced in number at an accelerated pace, the influence has become clear in bankruptcy of colleges and universities.
They are trying to survive utilizing several attempts, taking international students is one of the potential candidate for them.

But remember here, is it possible to give them lectures in English, the faculty has enough capability to communicate in English? All the Japanese people should realize as soon as possible that Japanese language is prevailing very limited locations only and it's used in a very small population in the world. So a step out from Japan land and abroad would no longer apply the Japanese language at all, the same as a dumb and a deaf, but not a blind.

As for urgent necessity for Japanese educational field is to change the way of communication into English, otherwise Japan must miss the change, or it already too late because the competition is so fierce on earth?

Judging from the Japanese history, we do not accept English language as a freely using communicating source, because an ordinal Japanese living in Japan country never feel any inconvenience in our daily life communication, if English was not understood nor with no capability to speak it, Japanese language fully satisfies all the purposes only in isolated Japan Island.

Consequently this manner and custom to pretend as if English language may be available would not be changed from now for the time being until many of Japanese universities would be bankrupted because of the failure to invite some foreign students from out side of Japan.

Smell & Sound

Heater core cleaning would be performed as the task for tomorrow, removing blower fan from the engine room must be first performed. What kind of cleaner should I use for the purpose?

The special spray cleaner aiming at mold for ordinal house air conditioner are prepared. Liquid washing materials may be used freely because fan motor would be removed.
Draining pipe line might be clogged with dust, check it out before starting the work.

The lubricant in inner drive shaft joint on NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz could be lost physical property because of the heat propagated from the motor through the differential gear. The over heating invites the oil degradation in any portions, motor oil, trans-axle oil and differential gear oil.

The lubricating oil is like so to speak human body liquid, so periodical replacement must be indispensable because the oil applied could not be desired any performance recovery like alive human body.

Trifle but important sign from the automobile tells any inconvenience, the driver should discern the strange noise if it is smaller enough to be ignored.

AT position sensor

14 years use of period is long enough to cause cytopathic effect on the lubricant inside of Automatic Trans-axle position sensor. The terminal positioning coil spring had lost their original tension pressure and hardened grease around prevented both the springs and the terminals move smooth.

After cleaning and re-lubrication could acquired original smooth movement and performance. Unpleasant shift levered shock disappeared well and no lighting at Check Engine warning lamp is found after treatment.

As a servant for Automobiles

Opel B-Vectra XH200W would be operated on the position sensor in it's engine room, tiresome heavy lead battery unloading procedure must be cleared. Wiring couplers must be stuck in addition to hardened wire engineering elastic material, separation must be difficult and some countermeasures must be applied for wiring isolation because of decay.

In the Web site this kind of sensor error is caused by the fixation of the switching terminals with the denatured grease inside of the switch case. Removing from the automatic trans-axle, disassembling and re-lubrication would recover the originally designed performance.

Also cam angle sensor and crank angle sensor, both of them must be checked on delicate wiring. The tasks above would overcome the errors reported by self diagnosis by Simtek 56.6 ECU. Cam angle sensor is very difficult to come to the tightening small bolt hided. Sometimes removing the exhaust manifold might be necessary before the procedure on the sensor.

As for the cam angle sensor cam cove must be removed to proceed to the sensor existing between the IN/OUT valve cam sprockets, it must be a good opportunity to lubricate the pulley bearings, they are 2 idlers and timing belt tensioner.

Ceiling surface clothes are separated as German automobile's usual, adhering glue is prepared previously. In order to finish this kind of work, special technology as a professional of the field is required, not so easy.

Blower fan must be removed to access to the heater core to be cleaned, dusty and moldy one. Thanks to some unusual heating system design, there exists a way from the engine room to come to the heater core surface. The cleaning of the air way for heating system would attain more comfortable driving in the cold weather free from unendurable and unpleasant moldy smell.

Sophistication for the countermeasure on a upper problem, NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz has pollen filter in the way of air conditioning system, then some special service hole for heater core and evaporator maintenance must be prepared, check it out!

Re-consideration on wheel alignment

Driving test on the highway proved that the stability is not enough compared with Opel B-Vectra while straight running. The time is come to check the wheel alignment in SUBARU BC7 LSi especially on rear setting.

The renewal of experimental marking board for LASER pointer keeps good performance as a part of precise scaling device. 

VW 1302 Super Beetle also needs to be adjusted on rear wheel alignment especially on thrust angle, sim inserting method would be applied for trailing arm connective portion.

Scaling and adjusting is going to be performed in the surrounding condition with movable, displacing, unrepeatable, deformable objects with physical property, deformation, viscoelasticity and hysteresis.

Writing like this and saying ideal theory are relatively easy as an opinions on the desk, but actually very difficult even for professional engineers.
No matter how second handed or new the automobile may be, the wheel alignment and constructive geometry correction are the indispensable steps to belong to me as an owned automobile.

Just going forward and does in precisely established condition, they are different existing in another dimension.

2011年9月16日金曜日

How firmly should it be?

As I mentioned before, slight toe angle adjustment invites change of camber value because the frontal axle is suspended applying "Steering Axis Inclination" SAI and Caster Angle. So the change of hub surface causes not only the purposed one but also another setting value, camber inclination and scrub point.

These change doesn't cause the physical property on front but also does on rear axle setting, geometrically and interactively with frontal hub three dimensional position. Trifle tampering invites irreparable result for sensitive auto-driver?

All of the users do not always accept the different result, getting accustomed to the changed steering reactions?
Consequently, a trifle to value change causes unexpected tremendous change in the wheel alignment! The alignment is all interactive one on earth.

What I described above means the wheel alignment never be carried out only one trial, the change of hub position calls that of thrust angle, and the change of thrust angle invites the steering centric position, the adjusted steering wheel returns to more corrective position.

The attempt on the adjustment should be repeated several times if the alignment should be desired so firmly as to ideally completion.

Mikobatake in Asago



Deserted Large Mineral Sorting Plant at Mikobatake left several devices and machinery and high power electric controllers. As shown in the photos, they are all unusual ones, stuck old grease on the Bebel gears and connective chains reminded me of good old days they had been active so much.
I feel some pathos because these historical construction would be destroyed sooner or later.

To Asago cho


I've selected the driving course today, Maiduru Wakasa Highway to Asago by way of free connecting road with no signals, Northern Kinki Toyooka Road and Kasiga and Wadayama conjunctive Road. I dare took Toozaka Pass instead of Toll Tunnel.

New and wider road had been paved from Asago interchange to Mikobatake, the planning was made by Asago Prefecture to reconstruct the Village utilizing an unusual large site of mine, Mikobatake.
Akenobe Mine Company had hundreds of history to the beginning of 1970s.

The beautiful stepping roofs had been removed probably because of aging decay, so now we can see only the reconstructed French engineer's house "Muse House" in 2004, but closed firmly.

The planning did not go so favorably as intended.

Experiment for 10 years

It was always something I admired that to drive a automobile to go straight without any steering adjustment if the road were flat. It must be possible to accomplish the automobile go straight by adjusting precisely to see there are some automobile with the tendency to go right or to left.

This is the initial starting point to start wheel alignment scaling and adjusting including constructive geometry accomplishment.
Almost 10 years have passed with fulfilling almost of my free time with the researching and experiments, almost of Sundays, Thursdays and half of Saturday for ten years.

Most of the time was consumed by trial experiments and cuts and try, by finding out the reliable and repeatable scaling points and the methods and DIY and by inventing special tools.
Thanks to long interval of researching period of time, I have come to the point to be capable to obtain repeatable numerical datum on scaling wheel alignment and constructive geometries.

This successful results affected on my occupation with enough confidence to have accomplished my researching work spending over 10 years.
My occupation did not affect on the experiment but it affected on the better result of my business.

SXE10

he visitors to my Car View Minkara blog reminds me of the F/R automobile that's almost forgotten, because she needs no maintenance used only 18,000km for these 7 years.

Much more precise wheel adjustment with the drivers weight on the seat is intended but left so long time undone, before that the D type battery must be charged as some additional charging process.

Much more stability while straight running would be desired after the adjustment, I'm sure on this point.
The rubber sheet inserted between rear stabilizer bush and it's blacked must be removed, only 2mm thickness tightening spoiled the compliance, so I remember, the frontal ones may be treated as same as rear experimental rubber sheet insertion flexibly.

After the replacement of the rubber seal material between cylinder head and it's cover, 3SGE motor has been keeping it's best condition.
How about the application Microflon into rear differential gear oil? I'm not sure if I had done or not?

The newer the heavier?

Whenever I recognize the specification of a recent automobile, the numerical expression especially the body weight over 1,400kg disappoints me so much.

However wider tires might be invited, stronger motor might be done and large dis brake plate might be done, any performances could not exceed those of right weight automobile, because the necessary performance like the example to stop, to accelerate and to turn could not be acquired.

There may be some passenger to feel better in the heavier vehicle being cheated by the law of inertia.
In short any moving thing affected by the earth's gravitation should be the lighter, the better.

Because I dare put an emphasis on the body weight, the indispensable requirement "Body Weight" is the first for me.
This is why I had chosen 800kg air-cooled Beetle as a partner from now till my end.

Work later this month

Autumn Road Safety Week begins on 21st September lasting 30th, we cannot be too careful to go in an autos.
We had better refrain from go out by car for the period of time.

As for myself, many a work are waiting, the rear carpets replacement on VW 1302 Super Beetle, the origin of mole smell that's still remains.
Accelerator pedal return spring must be prepared. Motor oil changing, already 7,000km used.

Trans-axle position sensor disassembling, cleaning and lubrication on terminals. Camshaft angle sensor wiring, crank angle sensor wiring, covering isolation checking, timing belt idler pooley replacement and tension adjustment. Heater core cleaning by removing blower fan.

The garden in Villa cleaning, parts warehouse organization.

Sliding lever?

This kind of black box sometime recovers it's performance after reassembling with cleaning, so I had some a sense of anticipation, but in vain, worse result was obtained.

CPU fan could be acquired it's original performance, it was successful to the point of critical problem was removed, but it still in even stubborn, never boots up this time.

It's impossible to get to BIOS stage leading to no way to select boot device, flash memory on the mother board must be destroyed?

Basically the note book PC is not favor because the designing of filling the important parts in narrow and thin space is physically impossible if the thermal problem were not cleared.
The higher specification the note PC becomes, the more dangerous zone it comes across without any arguments.

I am going to check on this kind of problem in Web site today.

Note PC dysfunction


I happened to come across with the opportunity to inspect Notebook Personal Computer, Toshiba Dynabook AX/54C PAAX54CLR Satellite A200 Series PSAF0N-04101F, the user of which has been suffered from unexpectedly strange reaction, occasional difficulty to boot up, several trials had been required, sudden shut down without any notice, naturally the datum constructed taking so long time period had been lost, in spite of the way of use was not a hobby like playing but her important formal business.

Several trials were performed to revive the device, but in vain, because BIOS booting is also hesitating and suddenly freezes without any signs even while OS setting period, careful inspection proved the control of CPU fun does not activated adequately, so the body of device became in high temperature, probably over 80 degree, CPU could not be cooled enough leading to some thermal runaway, falling into infinite loop?

As a common sense, CPU fun control is the indispensable key to the correct operation of any computing system.
This kind of critical trouble on the device may eliminate the company's credit, Toshiba?

Because the efforts by the user cannot reach to the end except the specific repairing electric engineer preparing replacement parts in the factory, in spite of any failures might have been brought by the user.

There must be another reason that the customer support reaction of Toshiba is more kindly reacted comparing another company's?

Disassembling to see cooling fan directly, a very special heat exchanger construction was found just before the air intake port.
I supposed that the dysfunction on this thermal controller may be a cause of overheating.
High specification on CPU speed may need this kind of arrangement because of extraordinary heat while processing.

Clogged washer nozzle

Clogged window washer nozzle just in front of screen on VW 1302 Super Beetle brought some washer liquid leak and drenched my pants while driving this morning.

Though it was not raining outside, I just wanted to clean up dusty dirt on outside of glass surface. After parking aside of usual road, I opened frontal bonnet and removed the cover to inspect the reason of liquid leakage.

The replacement nozzle parts is already obtained, so the parts would be thoroughly replaced. This kind of minor trouble may happen even on newer modern automobile, so no problem.

Deeper consideration leads me some conclusion that this VW 1302 Super Beetle had been used only 30,000km from the production 40 years ago, so the comparison on the lives of myself with hers---?

It goes without writing the conclusion and she would be taken over as one of my son's collection.
She would be probably painted in the same original blue genuine color before entering marry him.

After backlash elimination

The effect of tightening of steering gear box backlash adjuster is remarkable.
Easy to keep straight running without continuous steering adjustment, she goes comfortably like a different well adjusted Beetle.
I'm surprised to have experienced such a good driving only by changing the value of backlash in steering system.

The thrust angle adjustment, probably slight, would attain much more stability on the steering, I'm looking forward to doing next alignment adjustment.
Now my VW 1302 Super Beetle has no disadvantage comparing with another modern vehicles in general.
Scaling fuel consumption by full tank to full, revealed that, 8,47km/L.

Importance of HP

An indispensable information was obtained in the seminar held by some building company yesterday.
The importance of HP that's easy to be understood and enhance the interests of audience. Especially Question and

Answer descriptions covering all of our field should be published, because people in general can easily access to the point that is desired.
More better examples in number are the better.

The ratio of customer by HP occupies over 45%, it means now is the time to get into the field.

Since 1977, the ratio reversed, hospital care and home health one, because the treatment were subdivided by organ and many specialists were nourished in Hi-growth period of Japan in 1980s.

Consequently the general perception to go away should be while in the bigger hospital not in their home, because a big hospital employs many good specialists and serves high quality treatment until a geriatric goes.
Now the concept of division systems are prevailing in our field.

Rigid collar?

Replacing main-bar bushes into solid metalic parts, so to speak rigid collar is prevailing in the level engineers or shops. Before doing such kind of attitude, see to it that how childish or below it and frivolous it should be in the eyes of those doing research and development to modify on critical parts?
Sooner or later such kind of blindly modified automobile would be deserted if only the beginning stage it may cause surprise or self contentment.

Steering gear box

As a early morning task I worked on steering gear box of VW 1302 Super Beetle, construction is not rack and pinion design but former worm gear one. So the adjustment is performed from frontal trunk inside near by spear tire specially prepared capped hole.

45 degree tightening of adjuster bolt eliminated backlash that had been causing clicking noise when quick turning and back. The tightening of this adjuster often is returned heavier steering movement, in case of such tendency it's too much done. Slight clearance must be left for lubricant.

As for my way, thanks to the micro grain Teflon powder application well mixed with the lubricant oil inside, the reaction caused no change.
The centric steering position come to clear and attained easier keeping it on straight running.

But, as for surprise, the error of thrust angle became clear, 3 minute minus probably or 5 minutes at the most.
The rear axle adjustment including wheel alignment is not established yet, not today but next opportunity I'll try to do that with a great interests.

Leitz lenses

Once Leitz company sold range finder camera M3, M2, M4. They were all excellent performances to obtain useful transparencies not only for artists but also press photographers at that time. The excellence were mainly found in marvelous lenses they produced on West Germany and Canada.

The reason why I put an emphasis on the lens performance is that the photograph taken by Leitz lens were all alive. The capability of resolution was extraordinary best performance.

They used special glass materials with physical property, High-intensity and low dispersion lantan glass in the design.
All of their lens designing were based on "3D Kante Theory".

Even now, digital formatting generation, their meister outstanding technology has enough capability to stand up well.
In anther way of expression, I dare say the usefulness has more increased now than before to come to Digital age.

2011年9月10日土曜日


Special lens adapter was made in DIY, though digital SLR body is old generation and lens was produced over 50 years ago, this combination is the most favorite one for me, lens adapter was specially arranged utilizing Asahi Pentax Extension helicoid tube performing infinity to 45cm focusing, and additional K-mout tube could magnify in much enlarging ratio.

Triplet designing of Elmar 65mm/3,5 Macro lens does not reproduce enough color contrast, this disadvantage could be easily compensated with the software, `Photoshop program.
On the other hand this marvelous lens could reproduce the atmospheric air temperature and actual reality in the sean. Of course the reproduction of the 3 dimensional object are living ones on the paper?

Because of the capability to reproduce the alive scenery on the 2 dimensional paper, I chose this old lens unit overcoming the difficulty to use on digital C-MOS film.
The only Canon lens I have is 50mm/1,8 standard lens, lightest and cheapest one in Canon lenses. Almost of 135 lens are Leitz made and Schneider's one, nor keinen Zoom lens.

Strange vehicle

Trans-axle position sensor on Opel B-Vectra complains sometime especially after long parking, being left untouched so long time, she must have lonely time that's why she complains.

Remembering the past, the former owner of this B-Vec had been suffered from occasional sudden stop on the hi-way for 60,000km use.
But this problem was solved by my diagnosis on Simtec 56,5 as the Air-mass sensor N/A. After replacing the parts, no error is recorded with no stress for fear of the threatening and dangerous problem.

Now this B-Vectra Wagon model has a perfect condition except the trans-axle position sensor occasional error, probably the terminal inside must be adhered by hardened and degenerated lubricant, disassembling, cleaning and re-lubrication would clear this kind of inconvenience.

Though most of B-Vectra might have been deserted in Japan because of repairing and maintaining expenses additionally some long time interval is often required to maintain her by the engineer compared with another models.

The parts that has nothing to do with is often required to be unburdened to access a small bolt, unnecessary and trifle tasks are many in Opel servicing, how come!
Even with these kind of inconveniences, she has enough passion to make me feel to keep her much longer?

Question and problem



I happened to coming across to some strange structure on upstream portion of Muko River in Hyogo Prefecture.
A small house on the right side with propeller parallel to the ground looks like a water pump for the rice field? Then what the left side?
Coming across to the structure would answer the question, the river stream in front would prevent me from arrive to the place.

The video card shown had been thrown away as a void over 10 years ago, now it's available! After obtaining the suitable video driver from Web site, it goes quite favorably. As I don't desire the maximum and ultimate nowadays performance, it's OK no problem.

Everything goes favorably

Just the replacement of video card, GForce 550 old stock, recovered the performance of main computer this morning, the transient is strange like waving that's caused by the ill driver of the card. Another expenses is not necessary now.

Thanks to some desperate effort yesterday on the frontal wheel alignment of VW 1302 Super Beetle, the steering adjusting times were remarkably reduced in number while straight running. This result invites driving with sleeping, because the concentration is not required as she goes straight without adjusting the direction.

Much more precise adjustment on rear wheel alignments in combination with the fixed front wheel hub outer position, they are the base scaling points for rear total toe direction, thrust angle, much more stability would be obtained.

200km test driving on Bantan conjunctive road found out new roots combines with Wakasa auto root,with very few traffic signals like some high way. I'll try again in opposite direction for the next time.

Ant-post inclination

Steering circle surface position is important because the driving position, especially anterior-posterior inclination is decided affecting on the stress applied the adjacent portion of thoracic and lumbar. Also the surface has something to do with the winker lever function.

Additionally in relation with the seat back inclination, the operability of switches on cluster surface. So the change of steering surface position involves many relations.

Setting frontal total toe value at in-1mm on VW 1302 Super Beetle is the priority task today before going out for a driving in nice breeze to Northern part of Hyogo Pref.

The reporting on the result after upper two treatments would appear in the evening:

Moving the steering circular surface only 1cm backward brought me a great improvement of driving upper body position on VW 1302 Super Beetle today. I have no pain nor fatigue feeling on my back they have been suffering me for long time. I have recognized the importance of 3 dimensionally adequately suitable steering wheel position.

Though BC7's steering position had been corrected as 10mm backward following the SUBARU improvement reports for a newer model, 10mm more backward might be better, experimental trials must be performed on this point.

Frontal camber value was corrected on the left side, minus 24minutes to 34min.and 30seconds that's the same value as the right side one.

Remember here the camber value must be adjusted under the condition of same toe direction, in another word, camber value must be adjusted in combinations with the decided tore direction, so both of them should be performed at the same time together.
This complicated procedure makes the alignment setting difficult for the engineers.

And the total toe was set at 0,8mm finally, because the negative camber setting automatically produces camber thrust to inside considerably. Less value may be possible, decision of the total toe would be later after the actual running test.

Continuous running over 6 hours caused strange noise that had not been discerned before, the origin of the high frequency noise was from the DC generator's rear bearing!
Pooley side bearing was possible to access for lubrication, if the pooley assembly was removed from the centric drive shaft.

After applying chrome molybdenum splay grease without replacing bearing, successfully the noise disappeared finding out no mechanical backlash on cooling fan mounted drive shaft. Finally I was released from the anxiety to be suffering from the lack of lubrication leading to bearing seizure.

Maintenance on B-Vectra

Though serious damages was caused by #12 typhoon, cooler air in fall also she brought to Japan main land.

The vehicle equipped with mechanical carburetor might be changed their motor performance not a little.
The performance of service engineer would be increased in cooler and moderate temperature.

Not a few tasks are waiting on Opel B-Vectra, too kind guidance in Web site was introduced by Mr. S in Yokohama, under this kind of warm helpful information I must go ahead otherwise I will loose my own identity.

Problem is wire harness, the outer isolating elastic material had been hardened and partially fell down, this phenomena causes circuitry shortening, sometimes occasional circuit shortening and opening?
Not a little efforts are required to repair and to mend perfectly because of the number of circuitry wiring.

Cam angle sensor and crank angle sensor need some special wiring methods, sealed wiring is necessary avoiding the influences by noises in the engine room. Also special concentration and tightening are required in the treatments.

In vain

Dysfunction of main computer prevents me from writing everyday blog. In spite of desperate efforts this morning to replace punctured chemical capacitors, LCD black out did not recover at all.
Next countermeasure is to replace destroyed video card into old spare parts.
Equipment & devices go bad one after another day by day, how come?
As the punctured capacitor were the purple colored ones, these parts must be set as some breaking timer, designing to be destroyed after some period of time interval. Otherwise the user would continue endlessly, resulting that new model would not bought by anyone?

I will think over about the compensations to the direction of the least expenses on my personal toys.

In vain


In vain

The replacement of punctured capacitors could not recover the inconvenience on main computer on earth! Burning my finger desperate efforts were in vain this morning.
The next countermeasure would be the replacement of video card into old one. In case of in vain, new ATX computer would be obtained.
Devices and equipments go bad one after another recently, how come?
The description is made by emergency computer in poor specification.

2011年9月6日火曜日

Main PC broke!



Main PC in my working labo broke at the time when I was about to going home! Video signal suddenly stopped and no more reaction on LCD.
Remembering similar experience half a year ago, I opened the ATX case finding out the punctured capacitor with cluck line opened. Not a second was required before I realize the reason of circuitry cutting somewhere in the PC case.
The producing maker of the capacitors were the same as a half year ago, purple colored ones.
I think the replacement of capacitor would recover the performance of video card as I did before.
Reporting tomorrow morning.

Unknown internal destruction

The disk plates rust if the automobile is left in the rainfall and the rate of invasion is ignorable on disk pad touching portion, then the surface of the plate looses the flatness leading to shuddering.

So the automobile must be moved immediately after some rainfall avoiding this kind of inconvenience. Once rusted excessively on some part, the disk plates need re-polishing process to make the surface flat.
Things trifles like these are indispensable to keep some automobile for long period of time with comforts.

I'm going to participate in the seminar held by Mitsui Sumitomo Housing Co. being recommended by someone, in order to obtain the information they have from the housing professional points of view.

Our field is not always occupied only by dealing income but support the local health to contribute to the activation of all their lives. The difference of standing point of view would reveal some of them between the opinions?

Basically, first of all I do not agree with the opinion and idea of business priority and of the primary purpose of profit, because my principle is fulfilling the basic law enough the benefit would always comes later.

This is the philosophy for dealing people and is exactly the same as ours as witness.
Let's see how the professional builders catch our sector and how do they lead us, which direction?
But remember here that trying to rise up himself by saying other people bad or guide a person to desired direction to whip his case by giving unrest with showing impossible cases are the way often utilized by solicitant.

SSD or HDD?

Home computer shows keinen strange reaction after replacing internal memories, PC2100/512MB DIMM ×2.
The suggestion to check memories by downloading checking application program was to the point,probably?
Then over 10,000 yen of expenses were reasonable, supposing if I must obtain new PC?

Though I intended to replace into new system equipped SSD memory for IDE, experiencing as for the matter for myself, even rugged and indestructible semiconductors may cause irreversible error and destroyed so easily, deeper considerations are necessary.

I've ever asked to some electric engineer specialized in circuitry program in Kansai Electric Power Supply Co. about SSD system. I just remembered his deeply thought reply.

Solid State Drive may have several priority but all the performance in SSD does not exceed that of Hard Disk Drive. SSD is new and no historical proof but HDD had established the long period of history already, then which is the reliable one?

Now I must re-digest his deep and heavy suggestion reinforced by professional experiences.

Trial & error


Additional application of lubricant in the drag link of VW1302 Super Beetle has increased the astringency on steering reaction.
This fact leads me to the imagination that the tightness on the arm shaft would increase steering stability more and more?

Now I have the same parts removed last time and some modification on it would accept some adequate needle bearings on the supporting upper and lower portions? Kicking back phenomena may increase, but such kind of problem would be solved relatively easily by the application of some adequate compliance in the linkage.

Basically this kind of trial and error should have been carried out before the model rolling out by the maker VW AG 40 years ago?

Distorted way?

Fitting adapter putting a simple mechanical carburetor for recent computerized automobile with L-jetro system may be available, though it looks strange like climax or anticlimax?

Only a fuel line should be reconsidered because necessary fuel pressure for mechanical carburetor system is different from injection system, much lower pressure must be supplied.

All the sensors and controls are alive and just the fuel supply and air mixture control are cheated the ECU, what will happen in the condition? How Siemens Simtec 556 would respond to the artificial condition.

Anti-skid control closing throttle valve does not work, the mechanically automatic choke module control first idle control, cold start and connecting the circuitry to fuel cut valve would work well avoiding running-on phenomena.

Emission control may be established even with mechanical carburetor,CO 4,5% and HC 1,200ppm?
This is my habitual wrong manner and custom to try at any rate if some imagination comes up in my cortex?

Electrical failure

Rain stopped this morning at last, having been caused serious damages in Kii Peninsula this time.

The weather condition would be changed by #12 typhoon into Autumn's one.
Some of old automobile I'm keeping has no air conditioning system, it would be convenient if the temp outside get down.

Not a few of computer controlled recent automobile have difficulty to recover as the originally designed performance, so reported in some Web site. Because the lack of definition of the dysfunction would not lead the mechanical and electrical engineer to the destination.
Many of mechanically healthy automobiles are deserted because of impossibility to determine the true cause of the malfunction electrically.

I do hesitate to write like this, even a cheap semiconductor would make a wonderful automobile if the reason of dysfunction could not be defined. As for me such realities cannot be accepted. Many of expensive automobile goes to the scrap yard because of the reason, how come?

On the other hand, fully mechanically controlled old machinery like air-cooled VW I'm keeping, having no black box, relatively easily the problem could be accessed to the point.
This is one of the reason to have some interest in the old mechanically controlled automobile.

Efforts in the rain

Several experimental setting on air volume control screw on Bocar 34PICT3 carburetor proved that there exist the most adequate and sweetest angular position.

Once established the position should not be moved except only when the legal continuity testing, exhaust gas checking, actually a bit opened, increasing air volume.

The drag link construction was unburdened and the lubricant was removed thoroughly, Microflon powder mixed new grease was supplied enough, required about 1,5cc.

The chronic disease clicking noise still remains though it became smaller. The backlash adjuster on the gear box is the next step on coming Thursday.

Almost 1year has passed since VW 1302 Super Beetle came to me.
Though she passed the legal inspection 5 months later arrival, even now I'm busy for her lingering minor adjustments.
But the purpose to obtain her was to kill my own time concentrating on something, so she played well her role.


Storm passed through

It rained cats and dogs being influenced by Typhoon #12 last night, now it stopped. She must have passed through by way of distorted direction to northern western contrary to expectations.

Thanks to the change of direction we have no damage in our area.
I hope the climate condition temperature and humidity should be reduced and suitable for my pit working after passing the big storm on earth.

The residual task was digested on Solex 34PICT3 carburetor that was removed from VW 1302 Super Beetle, setting up the smallest power jet with 0,475mm spray hole, originally closed probably because of the compensation of the fuel consumption.
Now the carburetor is in perfect condition as a replacement parts at ultimate designed performance.

On the other hand the equipped Bocar 34PICT3 is favorably adjusted on air volume control screw, so the power performance of AD motor has become near perfect at 38,000km use.

The small error accompanied with the tie rod end replacement procedure would be corrected today and the lubrication on drag link portion also done.
Additionally removing off the carpet on the rear compartment thoroughly if my energy and stamina were remained at that time?

Be careful not to do as to overdone unnecessarily because the later on exhausted body condition might affect on my own occupation.

2011年9月3日土曜日

Change & Expenses

Now in the middle of the storm, change of atmospheric pressure and humidity causes some grumpy state of VW air-cooled AD motor. It like a human being, because a fine climate would produce a fine motor condition.
The clicking noise in the steering linkage must be caused on drag link construction, just because of lack of lubrication. I'll check and apply chassis grease enough.

DIMM pointed out by Microsoft Windows were obtained at hi price over 10,000yen in two pieces 1024MB in total, only on some tiny semiconductors do I pay so much plenty of money?
How come? Before installing these precious DIMMs into WC2160CL, Spybot should run and immunized from all the bots.

PC broke!

Home computer Sotec Winbook SW2160CL has critical problem, shutting down suddenly noticing some internal problem occurred so closes the activating application---how come?
Also Windows suggests to run memory checking program after downloading?

The destruction and errors cannot be defined from the outside of semiconductor, so the replacement of all the memory module is the fastest way to solve this kind of problem, making up my mind to go out this afternoon for the part to Yodobashi Camera Osaka 10 minutes by train from here my working place, in spite of #12 Typhoon being coming across to Kansai area?

Very gradual air volume control screw changes drive feel satisfactorily so much, 1/16 closure from previous position eliminated the bad habit, stumbling and hesitating while clutch meeting disappeared.
This kind of precise adjustments on Bocar 34PICT3 carburetor makes me joyful so much.

As a task for this afternoon, frontal total toe value must be scaled utilizing recording plate with LASER ST(Special Tool with Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation device) and be fixed at adequate position of knuckles on both side.
And for tomorrow, rear axle measurements, cambers, total toe and thrust angle. But remember here, she is coming, yes, #12!

As experienced, window blowing is very inconvenient for camber scaling with the specially designed device, 1719,75mm diameter pendulum?
The precise setting up of cambers on 4 wheels is the basic key to establish fine wheel alignment setting on earth, consequently a windy day is not a day for the task.

Typhoon!

The climate in all over Japan is not favorable today except Okinawa because the typhoon is coming near by Shikoku at very slow speed, being influenced by High-pressure system in the Pacific Ocean existing Norse Eastern portion of Japan.
She is coming actually on Saturday morning by way of the worst course, along the most inconvenient course for Osaka, avoiding damages by her, I must check Villa again this morning.

As for VW1302 Super Beetle, rear seat covers,sitting surface and for the back surface must be replaced and also combined carper with rear compartment also be removed thoroughly. Then some strange smell brought by fungus for 40 years would be removed?

Steering gear box and drag link must be checked and lubricated again before wheel alignment expectations, this time from the fundamental geometry scaling is the first.
Motor adjustment mainly on Bocar 34PICT3 is almost over, the sweetest angular position of air volume control screw is almost defined including automatic choke angular position.

Shift position sensor maintenance is waiting for me as the prior servicing on XH200 Opel B-Vectra, also wire harness connecting cam angle sensor and crank angle sensor should be checked and establish the isolation from shortening, isolating materials is hardened and self destruction because of the heat in engine room for over 14 years.
These procedures require relatively long period of time, just it's tiresome.

All the small windows for ventilation were closed in Villa preparing for strong typhoon #12 coming tomorrow early in the morning.
The cataclysm like this adversely affects on economic activity and distribution in our country.

I've noticed this morning the difference of steering astringency on VW 1302 Super Beetle that I replaced tie rod end ball joints on both side yesterday,though some clicking noise remains in steering gear box or drag link.

Some bacterial infection in my Tonsil almost recovered by taking antibiotics,L-Keflex. I've re-realized again that the stench from the infectious organisms contains much bacterium.
Also the existence of antibiotics prolongs the life span of geriatrics.

Not a day today



As I had been afraid of the bad atmospheric condition, hi temp and hi humidity interfered my future task to do today. So, only the task, tie rod end replacement was proceeded safely.

Clicking noise became smaller after the parts replacement but still remains, I'm afraid of the worst case, irreversible steering box!
The gear box replacement parts for right steering model are not supplied from all over the world!

As the life of note book personal computer is dictated by the CPU cooling fan's condition, so the right steering gear box on VW 1302 Super Beetle holds the fate on earth.

As a helpful way the change the steering system thoroughly into the rack and pinion steering system for later 1303 model would be one of the choice.
Further inspections would be performed on the steering system on coming Saturday and Sunday.

I happened to come across to a model house, I prefer this to new nowadays design.

Typhoon & cloudy

I cannot endure the steering linkage condition on 40 years old VW 1320 Super Beetle, some clicking noise probably from tie rod end portion on both side bothers me so much.

Also musty odor smell when braking, coming from rear seat portion even after removing all the carpet from the cabin, similar clothes material with the carpet on rear compartment must be the criminal.

Certain countermeasures would be performed today, one of them or both. For former measure requires periodical replacement parts, tie rod pillow ball joints, yes, they are ready, and the frontal constructive geometry correction and following wheel adjustment must be proceeded.
Ultimate concentrations and complicated scaling with estimations are waiting for me.

I feel that both of tasks are tiresome today, coming relatively big typhoon near by Kansai this time.
How shall I do today?

Setting up Photoshop in outer HDD does not work this morning? Probably it would take long time to solve this kind of problems.
