Honda Civic Type-R 2011

Ashley Oliver, senior technical manager at a Mercedes dealership in Bristol, England demonstrated the skills and creativity. Kupe he built a sports car, just for two people to open the scissor doors. His work is called the K1 Attack. execution, according to Oliver spent 4000 working hours or 167 days or five and a half months. Although the preparation itself has been implemented since 2006. Interestingly, for the selected machine instead of a 

Mercedes, but has a Honda Civic Type-R 2.0 L combined with a manual gearbox 6 Type-R levels of acceleration. 246 PS power output after receiving the equivalent of such improvements when preparing the body and legs. Amount of power surge thanks to modifications to the air inlet using HKS products, disposable batteries racing model, and the supercharger conversion. 2000 cc race of this kitchen is stacked on top of tubular steel chassis with carbon fiber composite material body. For interior design, Clarion audio system installed with a high taste, plus amplifayer DVD, speakers, navigation systems and cameras to resign. Both seats are designed model car racing (racing). "I've been four times to build a car and always had a strong original concept in mind, the design and specification I always check every new component is used, so I am really confident and pleasing me." Said Oliver. Indeed, building a car is not cheap. For example, to all four wheels Asanti selected brands from America, he had to spend Rp104 million (meaning only Rp26 million). continued, using a composite material body also spent thousands of pounds Sterling. Not to mention the change in the position of the steering wheel to the right, interior, suspension, lights (front and rear), plus hundreds of nuts and bolts. "If anyone wants to sell, I've spent quite a lot. So, now used for pleasure first.

 

 

Modified Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

If the color of the body calm and no high-rise rear spoiler, maybe no one saw the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X when passing on the highway. Because, from the exterior side no modifications to the extreme, except in the four wheels wearing 19-inch alloy wheels and wings.
Indeed, the owner (name not mentioned) by deliberately modifying the style of street racing that can be used daily. He claims to be lazy if the modification is too complicated.
While the choice fell on the Evo X because the machine has been equipped with turbo 4B11T code, so it is quite strict labor standards.
Street racing-style thick enough like the owner. Light color, orange is selected here, so typical of racing. Only, the whole body is not painted, but covered with stickers from Oracal. 'Body stickers for a while due to join the contest, "explained Mr.N.
characteristics of the other race, the body is filled with a variety of writings, all supporters of the flow. As the hood there is HKS, the distributor device ever put on the type of twins. But less responsive, eventually replaced Carbonetics (written on the door) twin type label.
 
Then, there are so Haltech ECU option to replace EcuTek. Recognized the power increases dramatically, but still can be used daily. There's more Brian Crower writing, no other back has a degree in 2720 at the inlet and exhaust channels. Lift itself is at 5 mm, so the power band at higher engine speed can be more skin.
Then, behind the post AP Racing is the speed with the framework set celiper stopper 6 pot front and four pots in the back. Price of USD 60 million.
Thus, the concept of street racing can be read from the paper stuck to the entire body

Modification MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION 8 GSR

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 GSR you see now is not only cars that can only be enjoyed on weekends only. But more than that, because the owner, Ebel, risking his Evo 8 to compete in a drag race event. Thus, all the tuning done starting out. "But this car racing could cave tour arrangements," open Ebel, who is also frontman Motorsport Wisesa this workshop.

Differences in the two races is not possible to re-think to rebuild the compound with the event in order to compete on a straight track racing. Okay, as a picture of the seriousness of Ebel, no sector of others touched by skillful hands. But the main focus in the kitchen there is a change in power pacemakers. Although it is only used for speeding on a straight track, engine 4G63T default should be given therapy to produce their best performance. 

"Target translucent cave above 500 hp," Ebel said. Energy target for the changes that would require not just replace the turbo and then optimized by the engine computer upgrade, more than that. Because at this stage is not only powerful, but also be able to excel records the shortest possible time. Capacity of only 2,000 cc which is still considered low, especially for the torque that is able to produce before the turbo spooling at max. There are other ways, the choice stroker kit installed soon. The result? pulley each engine capacity up to 2300 cc stroker kit through the use of AMS. This was donated from the handlebar piston reaches 156 mm length and crankshaft dimensions up to 100 mm.In the hands of DC Sports EVO X converted the street like a race car. He is not only more athletic, but also very arrogant. Various series of warning C-West body kit affixed to the exterior. The most prominent front bumper that will arise with the large air gap.
  

 S-AWC system, which regulates torque and braking at EACH wheel includes a bevy of acronyms: ASC (Active Stability Control), ACD (Active Center Differential), AYC (Active Yaw Control) and Sport ABS, an ABS system is designed for aggressive driving . The biggest difference on the car out is the number of yaw sensors included in the system, all designed to keep the Evo X in the intended path.S-AWC system, the can is set to three different road surfaces: tarmac (standard), ice and gravel addition, the DC Sports Exhaust System also installs itself to the roar of the EVO X is higher than the manufacturer. Even dyno tuned HBSpeed ​​digebah join the wild promises of performance.
  The Twin Clutch SST on the MR appears similar to the Audi / VW 'DSG system, even and odd gears are on separate clutches for rapid-fire change, and there is no torque loss between gears. The shift of TC-SST is controlled by alloy paddles on the steering wheel or gear shift lever in manual mode Pls, and by the engine computer in automatic mode. The system has three modes: Normal, Sport and S-Sport, the latter provides, the most aggressive shift quickly.

So much, "The turbo housing is ported back to the air flow becomes more dense," said Ebel. So, at a pressure of 2.3 bar turbo in number, acquire the power to reach 595 hp ..! "We can Sentul QTT in 11 seconds by increasing the power of 2.1 bar and 540 HP," said Ebel. In fact, after this stage, will increase by 2.7 bar turbo dipanteng with output estimated at more than 700 HP.

Auto Insurance Fraud Is Targeting The Health Care System

(NC)—Health care practitioners are on high alert to pinpoint and prevent identity theft. Common scams involve fraudsters stealing signatures, forms, and patient information to bilk payments from auto insurance companies.

This type of fraud is currently on the front burner of the insurance industry regulator, the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) with its recent initiatives to assist, guide and protect health care professionals from becoming targets. Take a look at the recently launched e-brochure on this topic easily downloaded at fsco.on.gov.ca. In the Auto Insurance section look for the publication Insurance Abuse and Fraud in Health Care Services: Everyone Has A Role To Play.

You will see that through the illegal use of a practitioner's name (or other identifiable information) fraudsters have been obtaining payments for health care services that were never provided. As the fraud is uncovered, the practitioner unwittingly becomes the subject of a police investigation leading to any number of consequences, from reputation damage to legal costs. As well, every Ontarian is a potential target because patient information is also being used to falsify the claims.

Warning Signs

With heightened awareness of such scams, health care practitioners are advised to be on watch for suspicious documents and suspicious activities. Other advice includes: never sign blank treatment and assessment documents; always maintain exact records of the treatments provided; always record payment decisions made by insurance companies; never give personal information to a third party for processing invoices; always inform the Regulatory College when relocating; and immediately report suspicious activity. Each health care practitioner should be a gatekeeper to prevent identity fraud.

FSCO reports that the government's Auto Insurance Anti-Fraud Task Force is examining the scope of insurance fraud in Ontario. Building on current government initiatives, representatives from the insurance industry, academia, justice and the public are addressing, among other priorities, the nature and extent of such criminal activity, as well as proven strategies to curtail this opportunistic activity.

Electric Cars

While several new automotive start-ups like Tesla and Fisker have built halo cars to get attention for their brands, Amp is using a different strategy: They're converting existing vehicles to electric power in such a way that they keep as much of the original look, functionality and parts availability as possible. Although the Cincinnati, Ohio-based company made it to the finals of the Progressive X Prize with a converted Saturn Sky, Amp EV's Electric Jeep Grand Cherokee represents a shift away from both GM vehicles and retail sales. Set to debut at this year's Detroit Auto Show, the vehicle will be the first of a full line of commercial vehicles.

Just last year the company began and quickly ended offering a conversion of the Chevy Equinox, saying that difficulties with the automaker made it hard to supply vehicles: Having to buy complete vehicles instead of engine-free "gliders" pushed the retail price of the low-end SUV near the proposed cost of the Grand Cherokee. It should be no surprise that Chrysler has been more receptive to working with Amp: Workers at former subsidiary Global Electric Motorcars were behind the push for electric models during the company's congressional bailout hearings, and many have remained on staff at Chrysler after GEM was sold to Polaris earlier this year. By switching to Chrysler, Amp is able to work with people who really understand the business.

Their drivetrain uses the same Remy AC motors currently installed in the Chevy Volt. With two of these motors installed above the rear axle, the SUV’s total power is 152 kW (204 hp.) Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are mounted where the engine and drivetrain would normally be installed, providing 37.6 kWh of storage. That's almost double the power and just over fifty percent more battery capacity than a Nissan Leaf. Range is estimated at somewhere between 80 and 100 miles per charge.

The company has only released information on a rear wheel drive conversion, although a four-wheel drive version is in the works. Instead of maintaining the Grand Cherokee's sophisticated traction system, it will probably add front-mounted motors. Whether this can maintain the vehicle's renowned off-road prowess remains to be seen, although the motors' ability to provide maximum torque at low RPM should eliminate the need for a low range gear set.

Unlike the Equinox and Sky, the Grand Cherokee is targeted at the commercial market where its parts availability and ability to tackle short-range driving applications make the vehicle an ideal candidate for fleet sales. Shortly after the SUV hits the market, Amp plans on selling conversions the Jeep's platform-mate, the Mercedes Benz M-class. 

 

Tesla Model X: One Step Closer to Competitive Electric Vehicles

Tesla Model X: One Step Closer to Competitive Electric Vehicles

"Most cars are pretty blah. This is not."

- Tesla CEO Elon Musk

This quote comes from Elon Musk and he's talking about the Model X. He is right, the Model X is not blah...and here's why. Find out about the latest model debuted on February 7th, 2012 and about "BlueStar", Tesla's plan for a family sized electric car that's affordable.

Tesla in an interesting place in the automotive market: The brash Silicone Valley company has been known for its internal squabbles, yet they've managed to succeed where so many new automakers have failed. Even former GM head Bob Lutz admitted that he was inspired to start the Volt project by the resounding success of Tesla's Roadster. With the Model S sedan being prepped for production, the next step for the company will be their newly revealed crossover, the Model X.

Part of Tesla's trickle-down approach to vehicle production, the X is the next step toward paying off the development of the company's EV technology, allowing for cheaper models. The eventual goal is the "BlueStar," an affordable family car due to hit the market in 2015.

Tesla's first product was the Roadster, a Lotus Elise-based sports car that exchanged its traditional four cylinder for an electric motor and over 6,800 off-the-shelf Lithium Ion laptop cells. Although the mix of parts and the newness of the company suggested a kit car level of quality, critics were amazed that the Roadster felt and drove like a regular production vehicle. Sales were brisk despite its $100,000-$120,000 retail price, ending only because Lotus stopped production of the Elise. 2,400 Roadsters were built during its four year run.

The company's next car is the Model S luxury sedan, due to enter production this fall. The laptop cells are gone, replaced by battery packs co-developed with Panasonic specifically for EV use. With an electric motor producing 362 hp and 306 ft-lbs. of torque, the car can reach 60 mph in 5.6 seconds: That's about three tenths of a second faster than a Mercedes E350. A four inch thick battery pack below the seats and a drivetrain no bigger than a traditional axle keep the center of gravity low enough to provide handling that far exceeds what would be expected from its conventional suspension. With an MSRP starting at around $57,000, the car is a respectable entry into the segment, although many drivers will probably spend an extra $20,000 to get the car's battery pack upgraded to an 80 kW unit, boosting range from 160 miles to 300 per charge.

The next step is the much-rumored Model X. Hints about the vehicle came via rumors of government agencies asking Tesla to build an electric SUV for service duties. A recent partnership with Toyota to build electric RAV4s suggested the X may share some parts with the Japanese automaker in an attempt to build a small high-end crossover. However, when the prototype was finally revealed, it turned out to be something else entirely: It's not simply an electric-powered crossover, it's an entirely new type of vehicle that could only be built using an electric platform.

The prototype looks like the Model S's styling has been stretched over a crossover coupe. However, while the Acura MDX and BMW X6 are well known for their lack of space, the X's tall stature and low-mounted drivetrain gives the vehicle space more in line with a minivan. At the press release, Musk emphasized that the vehicle holds seven people "plus cargo:" His own Audi Q7 was used as a benchmark, and the X's front trunk alone holds as much as the Audi does when filled with passengers.

Its most striking feature is the "falcon wing" rear doors. While they open upward from a center roof hinge like gull wing doors, there's a second hinge between the roof and door panel. The result is a door that swings up and then out, moving only a foot away from the car while providing ample room to get in and out of the vehicle. When open, the door is high enough that someone under six feet tall can stand upright on the footwell.

Like most show cars, the prototype on display doesn't have rear view mirrors. However, that doesn’t mean its rear view free: Small bumps at the corners of the front doors shroud small cameras that display a rear view on a massive screen inside the cabin. While this would be a major boon for aerodynamics, current Department of Transportation rules require traditional mirrors; whether or not this feature reaches production will depend on regulation changes.

The X will have optional all wheel drive courtesy of two electric motors, one powering each axle. Although there was no word on whether the system will be able to vary torque between the left and right sides of the vehicle like most top-end AWD systems, the near-instantaneous response of the electric motors should provide excellent traction in bad weather. With both motors installed, 0-60 mph will take just 4.4 seconds, pulling ahead of the segment-leading Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. A performance version is in the works that will be even faster.

Early testers say the Model X drives almost exactly like the Model S, without the sluggish responses and body roll normally associated with an SUV. Again, the electric design is helpful as the underseat battery pack and low-mounted motors give the vehicle a very low center of gravity for a crossover.

60% of the Model X's parts are shared with the Model S, including the battery pack. Total weight is about 10% greater than the S, which Musk says will equate to a 10% reduction in range -- around 200-210 miles per charge with the 60 kWh battery pack, or 260-270 miles when equipped with the 85 kWh pack. MSRP will start at $57,400, with fully-optioned versions reaching $90,000. Like the S, the Model X should come well-equipped with the large price difference linked directly to the battery size. All models should be eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit.

        
A handful of Model X's should hit the streets sometime in 2013, with full production starting the following year. With amazing acceleration and a massive amount of interior room, the Model X will be a serious competitor in the segment even without its green credentials.

The Evolution of Windshield Wiper Blades

It was a cold and windy, winter's day in New York City when Mary Anderson boarded the trolley. The year was 1903, the raindrops began to freeze, and each one could be heard as they clicked against the windows. Once settled in her seat, Mary examined her surroundings. She watched as the driver struggled to keep the windshield clear. He would reach out his open window every few minutes and clear his view. Mary pulled her wrap tighter around her shoulders and continued to observe.
Check the Expiration Date
Inspired by this trolley ride, Anderson developed a hand-operated windshield wiper which the driver or passenger could use from the inside of the vehicle, without needing to reach out to the windshield. She patented the "cleaning window device" in 1903 that was valid for 17 years. Unfortunately her patent expired before the first true wave of automobile purchases began.
Great Minds think Alike
Meanwhile, across the pond in the United Kingdom, Irish inventor James Henry Apjohn invented a brush system to clean windshields that moved up and down on the glass. Mr. Apjohn applied and received a patent in 1903 as well. Others followed; in 1911 Gladstone Adams received a patent, and pianist Josef Hofmann and Mills Munitions of Birmingham both claimed to hold the first patent.
