Using Jack

The main function of the jack is partially menjungkitkan pry or car body. Tools are required in this car is used to check the bottom of the vehicle or replace the damaged tire. Boosting can be a troublesome job, and therefore needs to be done right, so do not sweat the results of our efforts are in vain and no follow-damaged car parts.

There are various things to consider. There are three types of jacks. First is shaped like a diamond jack, hydraulic jack, and a jack aloe. But dealers typically equip new cars with the diamond jack. The reason, more compact, inexpensive, and easy to use.

Location Every car owner should know the location of the jack, in addition to being under the seat normally is in the trunk, or near the spare tire. Similarly, about how to use, tighten or loosen the screw linkage using rotary diamond jack. For more details can check the guide book.

Position In modern cars jack fulcrum been determined from the production line. The design is well adapted to the head of the jack so that the handle is not easy to shift. It's better to use a jack to lift one side of the car, not with the intention of lifting the middle two wheels.

For the type of car frame, pedestal is sought is "bone" the loudest. Head of the jack can be placed on the chassis which is located under the side door. In addition, to the front of the pedestal that can be used in the arm, while at the rear can count on the bottom of the rear axle.
Create a monocoque-type body, fulcrum also available. Located between the inner pit in the side door. This section is not painted, not in the rocker panels as well. Position slightly to the inside. Special monocoque, not recommended boost from the arm.

Attention Thing that needs attention, the jack must be flat so that the foundation is stable. Never rely solely on the jack if you want to enter the body parts under the car. "It is also apparent from the field, it could still rocking. If you want more robust given the jackstand. Jack was raised not function as a crutch, "said Sandra.

Before starting to push up, make sure the parking brake has been used, if necessary, add a booster at each wheel. Once completed use, return tools to their original place ready for use at a later date.

Presence of Infiniti Hatchback and Crossover

London - Executive Nissan confirmed the presence of premium-compact models that have been frequently called and planned since last year, namely Q30 (hatchback) and QX30 (crossover). Production will be carried out as early as 2015 in the UK and Mexico.

Nurburg - Toyota GT 86 is believed to be a facelift version for the 2015 re-spotted the camera is in motion in circuit Nurburgring, Germany. Previously, this model has never appeared in earlier this week.

Until now there has been no official statement details the changes are applied. However Worldcarfans, Saturday (06/28/2014), said, there are many parts are replaced with lighter material in the entire body of the GT 86.

Not long ago, chief engineer Tetsuya Tada revealed the GT 86, the possibility of using a facelift version of the boxer engine capacity greater, while no development on the suction and exhaust systems of the concoction Gazoo Racing. In addition, the final ratio transmission for improved akseselerasi.

At the Nurburgring, GT hood look has two air holes, this is no indication of compensation of air requirements for larger engines. At the rear, a large wing mounted permanently to compensate for greater power. Unclear whether the hood, roof, and trunk lid are made from carbon fiber material.

Toyota has revealed, prior to the launch of next year's GT 86 facelift will be introduced at the end of 2014. Models other twin, the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, is also expected to get a key element of the same changes.

Overheating Engine

 The car overheating occurs often strike suddenly. If it could have been worse will damage your car's engine. To fix this, first identify the components that often make this happen overheat.

 One is because the radiator leak. Radiator is a very important function to make the engine cool. If the water in the radiator until they run out, the effect will be very dangerous. Therefore, it is advisable to perform periodic checks every time you travel.

Also check the radiator fan. Is the fan can function perfectly, or it turns out there are barriers that keep the cooling system can not survive. Examine the first driving motor. Shall be spinning perfectly and also check on the fan. If the fan has a problem, cold presses with this fan would be very disturbed.

Caring Power Steering

Power steering works to relieve hand in controlling the steering wheel. Models of hydraulic power steering fluid as relying on intermediary media. This fluid will not be reduced if there are no leaks in the power steering system.

Nevertheless, you still have to be treated. One way to always pay attention to the numbers, never less than its provisions because it would damage components. Perform periodic replacement every 30 thousand miles. This fluid needs to be replaced because with the use, there will be a loss of quality.

Different than hydraulic models, the more maintenance-free electric models. EPS does not require regular maintenance such as that performed on HPS (Hydraulic), because does not need as lubricating oil.

Yet still have to be vigilant, especially when the squeaking sound from the steering wheel. Maybe grease that is in the rack steer was dry and making a sound.

Hydraulic model is not without its advantages. At least hydraulic models can be fixed easily. Many experts workshop capable power steering. For example only the damaged parts rack or pinion seal can be purchased at retail. Costs are also relatively cheaper when compared to EPS damaged. If EPS must replace the entire unit is damaged.

In addition to treatment, no special treatment is also the power steering. As much as possible do not rotate the steering wheel in full. Because at this moment, the valve is fully open and the pressure becomes high. In cars that can make old-sil sil slang or the rupture.

Other treatments that do not ever turn the steering wheel when the engine is not working. Because with this condition, it can not circulating fluid. The effect, of the power steering components can be quickly damaged.

New Costumed Mazda RX-8

The existence of the Wankel rotary engine Mazda RX-8 belongs indeed been a legend in the automotive world. However, because the case exhaust emissions and less environmentally friendly, these technologies must stop circulating.

However, the legend is not going to disappear just like that buffeted era.

The front suspension is offered in two types. First, the upside-down from Ohlins adjustable swing and keempukannya. The second option is a suspension girder models (commonly used on older motorcycles) with a springer at the top of the Ohlins TTX. The second option could be applied to those who like classic style. Rear suspension is also from the same brand.

Entrusted to the Honda engine technology, using the type V4, 76 degrees with a capacity of 1.237cc with dual clutch transmission. Claimed power reaching 171 PS and 129 Nm of torque. Claims speed, raced 100 kph in 3.4 seconds, while top speed reaches 264 kph.
The brake system is quite powerful which is supported by Brembo. Ariel is currently in talks with other companies to provide choice. ABS and traction control become standard devices. While the tank is offered in three models and capacities. Other components which have no other choice is the radiator cover, fender, to the rim.

There are three types of seats to choose from, a single seat with the pillion seat can be removed, dual seat, and a solo sport seat. All three offer a different riding position. The position of the feet can also be ordered, low, medium, or high, the footing is made of aluminum.

Unfortunately, Ariel did not want to release the price. This is probably because it deals with a lot of options to choose from.

It could be the driver slow to react when exposed to side wind or just because the driver is doing overreaction.
It was not found in vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class models, the S-Class or Sprinter. Because the vehicle has been equipped with technology that is named crosswind Assist capable menganstisipasi it.

As the name implies, crosswind Assist helps prevent the impact on the direction of the vehicle due to wind gusts were very strong side when cruising down the highway.
This system works with the help of sensors that are also used to feature an Electronic Stability Program has also been first introduced by Mercedes-Benz.

Assist crosswind system is able to minimize the transfer belt during a strong wind gusts or when overtaking a large truck. As a result passengers the driver does not even feel the impact.

In the event of strong winds that affect the car, the system is capable of performing a series of individually braking at each wheel for correcting direction will soon be activated to prevent the car pushed to the outside of the intended track.

Depending on the situation, the brakes will be applied to the wheels directly opposite the direction of the wind. While the strength of the brake pressure is entirely dependent on the strength winds that hit the side of the vehicle.

Sensing Automatic Brake Technology in Mazda 6

One key to safe driving is a braking system that serves to reduce vehicle speed. Mazda Motor show off the sophistication of the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS), belongs to the Mazda6 sedan, which could help the braking in the demonstration session on the sidelines of a media test drive.

Product Planning and Marketing Mazda Motor, said SCBS will work at the speed of 4-30 kph. If it is not turned off (from one of the modes in the instrument cluster), SBSC function is always active. Detection system works automatically from infrared-based sensors that are in the glass, in the middle of the rear view mirror.
When tested, the car drove toward the rear obstacle likened the car, on the condition that the driver should not hit the brakes to stop. Evidently, after the sensor to calculate and make decisions, the brake will be active approximately one meter of the barrier object. Cars "forced" perfect stop but will resume running after four seconds.
Detected object is approximately higher than the hood, there is a possibility that under it unreadable.

we prove himself on the way, When creeping in congestion, a motorcycle decided to suddenly cross in front of the car. SBCS was surprised because it was reading the movement as a potentially hazardous object, then the car was braked himself.

Vibrating at 3 Cylinder Engine, Manufacturing Big Problem

One of the biggest problems in the manufacture of automobile engine is a 3 cylinder vibration potential is too great. So sometimes likes the problematic engine mounting. This occurs because of the absence in the third siinder. Although it has been tricked but still remains a great vibration machine.But Ford began to find ways to apply the engine flywheel and front pulley to dampen vibrations from the timing unbalance in the cylinder. While BMW, Mitsubishi and General Motors outsmart by using a balancer shaft. So it can dampen crankshaft vibrations.This solution is certainly being copied by several manufacturers, although the average results of research using the technology itself. However, the presence of a data base system work in the 3-cylinder engine, making it easier to research. And can find other ways to make it more competitive.Difficulty eliminating vibration in 3-cylinder engine, is not only experienced by the automobile manufacturing. Ilmor X3 MotoGP team who are also experiencing difficulties in terms of engine development. Because excess is perceived riders Garry McCoy in 2006 can not be lost. The manufacturing so just follow the last 2 series in that year alone.And if they join a large manufacturing such as Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki or Kawasaki, the possibility of the development of the engine will run fine.
