quakeproofing
 
what is quakeproofing? in car terms

austinsFD 08-17-05 08:29 PM

eh?

satoacs 08-17-05 09:13 PM

making sure it doesnt go anywhere during an earthquake and making the suspension controlled part of the alarm less sensitive?

I think it is like a air bag that inflates around the car during a quake to protect the car! :bigthumb:

serousily

satoacs 08-17-05 11:15 PM

seriously, what kind of responce do u expect?

Especially in the race section...

Never heard of it in car terms. It could be slang for "indestructable", like when we say "bullet proof" or "bomb proof".

My custom front sway bar mounts are bomb proof :bigthumb:

Seriously, where did you hear the term "quakeproofing" as applied to cars?

Maybe competition-level ear-damaging bass systems?

i think he saw initial d the movie in which the crapy english subs they say "quakeproofing" when refering to the cars suspension being worked on. so thats what in means, its the translation of the term for working on a cars suspension from cantinoese (sp?) to english.

yep... i saw the live movie, loved it. so it was a wrong translation?

not wrong, just not the best way to word it. its just to literal is my guess.

It's not possible to quakeproof a Japanese car in the U.S. It is only possible to quakeproof a Japanese car in Hong Kong. In fact, you can only understand quakeproofing if you are in a Japanese car in Hong Kong during an earthquake.

That really makes no sense what so ever. I tried doing a search...here and on google, and didn't come up with anyhing rational.

satoacs 08-19-05 10:12 AM

the quakes in japan are pretty bad, if your car doesnt move or go off through an earthquake, your quakeproofed. chinas a whole different story.
