I wish I were a brainiac that could explain it simply, but I'm not so the best I can do is give you link to the explanation. https://study.com/skill/learn/how-to-calculate-the-force-needed-for-a-given-torque-using-the-torque-equation-explanation.html

Are They Interchangeable? The short answer is no. They are each separate, distinct units of measure. However, as it turns out foot-pound and pound-foot can be converted between one another via complicated math, even though they measure two different things. First, we need to define what each...

Got under my Jeep XJ, removed the bell housing inspection cover, checked for loose bolts for the flexplate to torque converter. None found so started engine and with stethoscope confirmed apparent cracked flexplate at crank bolts. Noise is not coming from anywhere else so must be the dreaded...

Didn't I see the Ferrari guys scraping the floor to get up all the loose paint? You know I've been to a lot of races in my life, but only 1 F1 race. Next year I'll be 70 and would love to go SOA and the Canadian GP. Maybe a couple of road trips in my '02 WRX? Would also like to go to the Targa...

Just saw this thread for the first time. Having just moved to the PNW and just having moved into our home I want to get as many ideas as I can. Really enjoying what you've done and your thought process. Inspiration for this old man to thoughtfully complete my garage in the next few months. I...

Just getting my garage in order and the heater question is perfect timing. I had a Reznor gas heater in Tahoe, but now in the PNW with no gas or propane and a detached 23x23x9 insulated tight garage. I need to take the edge off as well, and like the original poster I need a solution. No 220...

I'm also interested. I have had SwissTrax and loved them so I'm sure RD is as good, but I have an issue where the side door doesn't give me the clearance for tiles unless I modify it or replace it. Door is steel so can't just cut it shorter easily. Since you work on cars as I do, I found after...

I had the Tahoe handle before we moved. Moved because of job on the Island. I'll do a new thread once we actually move in and I start to make it my own. Right now I'm just dreaming and trying to come with a plan, but like any plan it usually changes after you move in. I'm extremely excited on...

Great transformation and yes the cars do look better! I'm not sure you can wrong with either brand. My last garage was SwissTrax because I found them used for a great price. That being said my new garage will have whatever is the most cost effective.

Just moved from Lake Tahoe and sold our house with 23 x 23 garage with 12 foot ceilings. Just put an offer (accepted) into our new house on Whidbey Island, WA and the new garage is 23 x 23 with a 9 ft ceiling. Garage is fully insulated, drywalled, and lighted. I sold a car, vintage signs, tools...

I guess you won't concider waiting until the next "Grounds hog day" and when he looks for his shadow:lol_hitti

I'm doing a 4 post, not sure which one yet. Looks like I will be shimmy g the front posts, but need to determine exactly how much and then call lift supllies to see what they say. First guess is a 2 inch slope.

So do all lifts compensate for slope in the garage floor? I'm looking at any 7000# lifts but my floor has drainage slope of a couple inches. It would be nice to have the ramps level when lifting .

Okay your garage is fantastic to say the least, but I just have to know if you ever do any work in there? It's so clean I'd feel guilty if I actually got it dirty. I aspire to a garage that clean, but every time I get everything cleaned up and put away the tools come out again and I start...

I have 1200+ (13" x 13") Swiss Trax, grey, diamond trax tiles for sale. They are used but in great shape. All or part at $1 per tile ($0.85/sq ft). Prefer pickup because of the hassle of shipping. Located in South Lake Tahoe, CA. email me directly at [email protected] if interested. I should...
