Oops, excuse me . I meant exterior windows. Nice catch thanks

 

I have trouble driving at night and need to wear my glasses, but the reflection is quite awful. Always wanted to get a windshield film in the states but you need a prescription for it. 

 

Besides solarfx, any other places i could get quality film installation? My girlfriend said we could do it at her dealership, is this true?

So you are saying that when driving at night, with your glasses on, the reflection of other cars headlights causes a glare on your dash making it difficult to see past the dash glare?

You either need a mat for your dash, or as you said the car is brand new, there might be a slight oil protectant on the dash plastics from the manufacturers or dealer to make it look real nice for the buyer. Might try and clean it off.

I can not see any logical reason to fully tint an entire windshield. 

Are you saying you want to tint your entire windscreen?

Yeah..... Don't tint your entire windscreen. Did you even google this before making a topic? You can tint a section of the top area, but even then if you are a normal sized man in a honda car or whatever it will be right in the line of your vision. 

Sunglasses man... Sunglasses. Specifically polarized.

Anyway thanks everyone for helping, alot learned, before learning it hard way

Yeah man it gets complicated. 

Best bet here in Thailand is to get the entire engine as well as the wiring harness and ECU/PCM. Run the engine you want and use the harness/ECU as well so you don't need to do any tuning.

After seeing the gun, the authorities said on Saturday, the officers decided to approach Mr. Scott, but they first left the area to don safety vests that identified them as the police. They returned to the vicinity of his S.U.V., and “again” saw Mr. Scott with a gun.

From the above 2 statements need some further clarification.

Mr Scott exited the vehicle, got back inside and then the police left the scene to don safety vests. 

I would  of thought since he had exited the vehicle with a gun already ,police leaving   the  scene is negligent.Whilst  the police are donning the safety vest Mr Scott could have gone on a  shooting spree

On duty police have to be able to clearly be identified as on duty police. They were plain clothed officers, and had to don their gear to be clearly identifiable as police. Its not negligence is being thorough.

Well, the police did take the time to return to their cars (from a totally unrelated assignment ) and put on full tactical gear before going to roust him for smoking marijuana in his parked car on private property, so they were very prepared for a legal shooting.

Two officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department determined that Mr. Scott, 43, was a potential threat to public safety because they saw him with two items: what they believed was a marijuana cigarette and a gun, according to a statement released on Saturday by the department. The plainclothes officers, who had been near Mr. Scott’s home to serve a warrant on another person, first noticed Mr. Scott when he parked his S.U.V. next to their unmarked police vehicle, which was in his apartment complex in Charlotte’s University City neighborhood. The department said in a statement that its officers initially saw Mr. Scott “rolling what they believed to be a marijuana ‘blunt,’” but ignored the behavior and went about their business.

Later, one of the officers, Brentley Vinson, 26, said he saw Mr. Scott “hold a gun up,” the statement said. (A separate statement issued by the city on Tuesday said that Mr. Scott “exited the vehicle armed with a firearm,” and that officers approached him after he got back inside his white S.U.V.)

Will the 20v piston (5 valve per cylinder) fit and be compatible with a cylinder head with a 4 valve configuration? 

Have to find out when dissaembled. looking from above they are much similar plus 4A all uninterference engines. 

The 4A may be not be an interference motor stock, but when you take a piston built for a certain head, and change it to an engine with a different head, could it then become an interference motor? 

Can I ask ya, what will be the benefit of tearing the entire engine down just to replace the pistons? I know you want to increase compression, but with everything stock, I'm not seeing how that will be beneficial. Is the car Mass Airflow or Speed Density? 

Anyway if you want to tear it down and run it, thats cool too. I can't tell you if its compatible, but if you give me the 20v piston CC Dish (assuming the piston compression height is the same as the 4AFE), and the exact part number for the head gasket, I can let you know the compression ratio. 

Need all these number accurately before the math can be done.

Googled for more precise data, 

 

4AFE: bore 80.7mm stroke 77mm; Compressed gasket 1.4mm; Combustion chamber 30.25cc( not sure ); stated CR 9.5

20V Silver Top: same bore & stroke; Compressed gasket 1.2mm; Combustion chamber 34.5cc; stated CR 10.5

OEM 7AFE MLS gasket 0.4mm( not sure )

 

Will put 20V ST pistons in 4AFE pistons' place, along with 0.4mm MLS gasket

 

did a quick messy calc myself shows new static CR will be ~12.2? 

Will the 20v piston (5 valve per cylinder) fit and be compatible with a cylinder head with a 4 valve configuration? 

Yeah you can drive it without power steering but it will be REAL hard to turn when parked or trying to do a real slow 3-point, such as parking anywhere in Thailand. Gotta remember that it would be a crazy bad safety issue if the power steering "Went Out" and you couldn't steer. Its a safety factor built into the system. 

Once you are moving at speed you will likely not notice. 

The mechanics here try on a lot of stuff trying to convince people that they need work they don't need. It amazes me that people buy into it. 

If you didn't notice that the unit was failing until the mechanic pointed it out, then likely you don't need the repair. Especially a clunker. 

And 25k for any power steering part on an old clunker is REAL expensive. What kind of vehicle is it?

Current: 4AFE engine 82mm bore x 77mm stroke, everything stock with a pretty thick composite gasket

Will change to 4AGE 20V silver top pistons & OEM MLS gasket on next weekend project. 

 

In future intended change to 7AFE block, 138mm rods, better head or porting curret head. 

Well still not enough data for a proper compression ratio calculation and therefore impossible to know what fuel to run. I did a few google searches and found a lot of forums modifying the smaller 4A engines so its probably best to get on over with those guys. 

As for the fuels in thailand, the 95 gasohol is 10% Ethanol and in my experience, on a chassis dyno with 93 regular compared to 93 gasohol (in the states) we were able to advance the timing at WOT on 93 gasohol more than on 93 regular and pick up a few HP. The 93 gasohol had better resistance to ignition than 93 regular. 

E85, you can run that, but as another poster said, the engine will consume about 30% more fuel than on 95. This means a larger fuel pump, larger injectors, larger fuel line, larger fuel rail and a way to tune it.

All the while everyone in their village knows whats going on with the dog but no-one takes the time to befriend the animal and take responsibility over it. 

Then after it dies by getting hit on the busy roadway in which it was re-enforced to stay, people are all butthurt.

Problem is,  Toyota A engines kinda relatively high compression, even without 4AGE internals the car seems pushing 205-220psi on cylinders( measured by crank 10 times, dunno the cheap meter accurate or not though ), and both 20v pistons or MLS gasket will further the pressure. Manufacture's recommendation for fuel is 95 Gasohol, also fitted CNG with. 

 

    So is that safe to continue on 95( knocking or pingings possible? )? Or this gasohol car suitable for E85? Is there any "Racing fuel" could be found here in Thailand and price? Thanks a lot man! 

I tried to figure out what you are doing, but I can't fully understand it. 

I need the block you are using, specifically the bore diameter (after any machining) 

The Head you are using, either the combustion chamber size or the engine model they came off of

The Crankshaft, either what it came out of, or the exact stroke

The rods, the exact length or what they came out of

Pistons, either the part number, the engine they came out of, or the exact compression height

The head gasket, either the compressed thickness, or the part number for the gasket itself

I run MLS gaskets in my 408" SBF at home (Florida) with 11.54:1 compression ratio on the street on 93 octane all day no problem with 483hp at the tire through a manual valve body automatic. 

There is no way to figure out what fuel you need without calculating Compression Ratio and if you are going to run a turbo. 

You will be fine with 95 octane gasohol up until about 11.5:1 and maybe a little more if you have a way to tune the ignition timing.

Hello there guys!

        I've planned a project to build my junky-cheapy Corolla's 4AFE engine to a long-rod tall-block 7A-4A hybrid, already got full silver top 20v internals( from Bang Phli junkyard for~7000bahts, crankshaft-pistons-flywheel + new seals MLS gasket from Vorajak), but now short on funds, I'll skip the project and just fit the internals in for a minor upgrade, atleast engine will be more robust, per I understand.

OK you are getting way too far ahead of yourself on the fuels. There is some calculation that needs to be done (very simple, ill help). Your psi pressure you are measuring is "cranking compression" and has nothing to do with "compression ratio". Compression ratio (among other things) will dictate what fuel you use. 

Is this what you have to start with? 

Quote

Engine displacement: 1.6 L (1,587 cc)

Layout: DOHC Inline-4 (Straight-4)

Valves: 16, 4 for each cylinder

Redline: 6300 rpm

Compression ratio: 9.5:1

Fuel Delivery System: TCCS or MPFI

The compression ratio for your starter engine is 9.5:1 and that is pretty low. That alone will probably be fine with even 87 octane. 

So you are taking 7AFE Rotating parts and installing them in a machined 4AFE Right? 4A and 7A use the same engine block, just machined different right? 

Are you planning on running a Turbo?

Need all the details on the parts you are using and I can calculate your compression ratio. If you are not running a turbo, I can almost guarantee you that you will be 100% fine on either 93 or 95 octane gasohol.

Chief Putney has flatly and repeatedly said that Mr. Scott had a gun, but he also acknowledged that no recording exists to definitively prove the department’s account.

Quote

Mr. Scott effectively forfeited his right to carry a gun in 2005, when he was convicted in the shooting of a man in San Antonio and sentenced to prison.

Quote

“If you see a person with drugs in one hand and a firearm in the other, I think that gives you a basis for thinking that a violation of federal law has occurred, and there might also be state crimes,” said Jeffrey B. Welty, an associate professor of public law and government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

On point there^^

I think the bias also flows down to a lot of things "American". They think its some kind of 3rd world dump where they are at risk of being shot or something and think to themselves "Why would you want to go there?" 

The reality is much, much different. 

Just now, stevenl said:

Any evidence would do. Right now we have no evidence he was holding a gun.

Ok so what about in any other police shooting, and there were no body cams, and the shooting was justified? 

Its clear that you are unwilling to accept what the police say, and in lieu of police reports, the only evidence that will satisfy you is video/photographic evidence. 

I get it. You don't like it. But its the way it is.

Sounds like you were a crappy area for good food access, didn't know where to find it, personal access issues, etc.

Shopping only out of Walmart and having access only to Panda Express yes, does sound like hell.

Your experience is nothing like mine when I lived in the USA (or visits). As far as I'm concerned, the USA is a number of urban areas, even urban suburbs, is a PARADISE for lovers of diverse foods. Of course costs will be different depending on a lot of factors and clearly Thai food will be more expensive than Thailand in restaurants, but on the other hand most Thai ingredients for cooking are about the same as in Thailand (weirdly) in large Asian markets. 

I believe you had such a bad experience but to project that on the entire USA food scene is extremely unfair. 

Exactly what I was going to post. Walmart is what it is, you go there to buy the basics to stock the kitchen with. Simple breads, eggs, cheese, meats, milk, etc. Buy socks and T-shirts to mow the grass in... 

There is a TON of food choices, and the fact that the cellular data networks are lightning fast (I get 60Mbs on Verizon 4G Lte  - Good luck with that in Thailand) and just about everything is on google maps or the internet in general, and the fact that smartphones can be utilized to their fullest potential, you can literally ask "Siri" for whatever you want, sort by location and reviews, then follow the GPS to precisely where you need to go, all in one fell swoop. So many options for food and everything else at your fingertips.

Mr Putney said that the officer who shot Mr Scott was not wearing a bodycam, because not all Charlotte police tactical teams wore them.

Quote

Mr Putney said Mr Scott, 43, was in possession of marijuana and that he had committed another crime, which the police chief would not elaborate on.

 

He said that the officers who confronted Mr Scott were conducting surveillance when they spotted marijuana in the victim's car, and subsequently saw a gun.

 

In a video released on Friday, filmed by Mr Scott's wife, she can be heard telling officers repeatedly that he does not have a weapon.

 

Mr Putney said that the bodycam footage contained "no definitive visual evidence that he [Mr Scott] had a gun and pointed it at officers", but that police were satisfied he did.
