Thermometer shows below zero degree Celsius this morning, coldest morning this year. Not a few highway is closed. Most of my planning to go out were cancelled as a matter of fact. Snowy scenery in my garden oblige me not to open window, with locking tight. Window shield is colored in white, miserable Yaris!

Too low temp causes knee pain as usual, hard to walk smoothly, but I did go outside yesterday for the Parliamentary election. The critical ratio 2/3 was fully covered by Democratic party independently as preannouncement. So, gradual revolution would be done, no affection by the foreign countries except US. Weather forecast tells it would be rainy the day after tomorrow, National Foundation day.

My cousin had had operation on stomach the day before yesterday for his life extension, Gastrostomy surgery. Lost of swallowing function was the reason. I'm going to visiting him sooner of later.

In the condition of left side automobile regulation like Japan and UK, minus value on thrust angle is nothing but fatal dangerous while driving in driver sleeping situation. Because, innate tendency to go right side has possibility of face to face collision. No argument is waiting for this critical opinion, because no vehicle driver has some experience including myself on this point. Right side run habit caused by plus thrust angle cannot be eliminated until thrust zero condition would be established even if EPS steering neutral correction should be done. So, the vehicle that lost control by driver's consciousness goes to right into the opposite traffic no matter how effort might be exerted. This fundamental physics mechanism is very seldom to be appear in the field of motor ;magazines. Just, the angle value of thrust angle must be within plus minus 10 minutes is said in the European Safety Bureau, in Japan, no regulation exist even in the periodical automobile inspection test done every 2 years. Scientific law in Physics on the Earth happens without exception no attention is paid or not.

Consequently, my Yaris that had minus thrust angle with 12 minutes angle value has corrected into 7 minutes by moving the left side hinge point forward within fitting tolerance.

Then next step is the right side trailing arm hinge point adjustment to backward.

Yaris HV came to me by chance because my mischievous son throw it away and obtained Freed instead, it a long time for me to grasp such a sophisticated vehicle. As an usual manner, I inspected wheel alignment at first, I felt some discrepancy in it's alignment condition, unstable steering wheel neutral position while straight running. Leading to some ill-thrust setting, scaling was rear camber value at first, and thrust angle for the second procedure, rear total toe vector direction means thrust angle. It's a matter for regret that Yaris 2WD model does not have any adjustment construction for the establishment of wheel alignment at all, solid torsion bar axle does not accept any adjustment. The conclusion after at a loss is insertion of adjusting sim in the flange surfaces at knuckle portion, of course it a stupid manner to do that, but no idea except that. 2.5mm thickness iron washer insertion at 13:30' position resulted too much, so 1.00 mm thickness was calculated as a matter of fact, Bingo! So suddenly, steering became sticky at neutral position meaning Zero thrust angle was established. No external stimulation caused instability on the neutral steering position by the rough road surfaces or inclination. This specific steering feeling cannot be felt and understood until he or she has an actual situation. Even 1.00 mm thickness insertion between the knuckle surfaces, tightening bolts have discrepancy caused by inclination, periodical inspection and tightening procedure is required for the safety. Recent sophisticated vehicles has no room to adjust by the drivers or mechanics because of fully electric controlled system, the only way to do that is to make it narrower, tolerance, allowable assembly errors. Yes, establishment of Zero thrust angle is the most effective that driver can feel and enjoy motor life.

In order to measure camber value, total toe value and vector direction, mechanical pendulum device with 1719.75mm radius and LASER pointer level were constructed by DIY respectively.

3 days interval changes round shape gradually, never stops as it does, flowers lose their best without exception. Impermanence is usual.

As our seasoned manner and habit, we celebrate the specific Autumn day with enjoying full moon high up in the Noct sky, so to speak Middle Autumn Moon. Also, sweet special Japanese cake, Tsukimi-Dango.
