If you have a car and you want to modify it, but you have limited funds, using a used car accessories can be selected such as using used rim Hyundai accessories. Things that need to be considered in choosing a wheel marks:

1. Lip Velg
Make sure the rim lip condition free from broken or bruised. All you need to know is that the alloy with a larger size ruptures prone. If it is hard look briefly, then you need to use a balancing machine. And to facilitate checking, the tires should be released. The use of alloy wheels that are not round certainly will reduce your comfort in driving.

2. Former lathe
Wheel lips still surrounding areas also check that there is a former lathe. The condition can be seen in the form of lines on the rim lip. If you see these marks, it means that once bent rim or skew. In addition to in-press, another way to fix a bent rim or protuberance could also lathe. Thus, the former lathe must be seen. In addition, note also offset it. Do not let there also a former lathe lines. Because if it is lathe, it is meaning the wheel offset changed from its original condition.

The car is safe and comfortable driving must become everyone’s dream. However, not all cars can accommodate it. If able, a safe car prices would rise high. Finally, not everyone can afford it. However, awareness and campaigns on the importance of safe cars should continue echoed, such as with the automotive blog. This is the purpose of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), United States, testing and selecting safe cars each year.

Institute rate the vehicles in the choice of good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance during a collision from the front and side plus the evaluation of seat / head restraint for protection against neck injuries during a collision from behind.

Evaluation of the Institute is based on the collision test at 65 km / hour. Besides the overall evaluation of each vehicle, evaluation is based on performance tests conducted by crashing a barrier (barrier) to the side of the vehicle with a speed of 49.6 km / hour.

Injury measurements obtained from two dummy in the driver’s position, and one more behind the driver. Movements and contacts of the dummy’s head during impact are also on the impact of evaluation. Protection back set with two-step procedure. Initial points are by measuring the geometry of the headrest – high back, and the distance between the back with the back of the head. Seat which has good headrest geometry or was, in a dynamic test is using a dummy by measuring the pressure received by the neck. Stimulation accepted by this collision test with the state of quiet vehicles, and bumped in the back with the speed of 32 km / hour.

From the results of these tests the Ford Taurus, Ford Fusion with optional ESC, Ford F-150, Ford Edge, and Ford Escape has the right to be Top Safety Pick for 2009.

Advantages of hybrid cars are fuel consumption is very frugal. Another plus is friendly to the environment. Hybrid car owners are those who participated reduce global warming, is now more worrying condition.

Hybrid cars use gasoline or diesel that can be obtained at almost every gas station. Source of the main drivers of hybrid cars still use internal combustion.

As an additional energy and is used in certain conditions, used electric motors electric energy obtained from the battery or batteries. In another case, the battery to obtain energy is from the engine, electricity from the house, and the results of recovery when the brakes are used. When the car is brakes, the kinetic energy converted into electricity.

In certain circumstances, if the car was about to step on the gas (acceleration), the car no longer control the machine to raise the round. Computers will control the car pics additional power from the electric motors get the energy from the battery source.

Traffic during traffic jams and road car travel, simply by using electricity, the main engines do not need to live. This condition is make hybrid cars more efficient. When the battery power begins to decline, the main engine will function like a car now. Hybrid cars are already using lithium-ion batteries can be filled quickly. Simply by plugging the plug into the outlet home!

Although hybrid vehicles in the United States had sold three percent of all vehicles sold in the country, 26 percent of Americans according to a survey turned out to have considered buying an electric vehicle as the vehicle they would buy next. The survey conducted on 1752 adults by the Consumer Report. Of that amount, approximately 72 percent had not wanted to buy electric cars.

The numbers were smaller than those who want to buy a Tesla Roadster. This is due to limited infrastructure to facilitate operational electric cars. It is estimated, the change in the consideration of people buying electric cars will be influenced by the price.

Meanwhile, Nissan, Ford, and General Motors will soon market the electric cars around 18 months ahead. These three companies have not provided information on the expected price of electric cars that will be marketed; Analysts expect that the price of their products between 25,000 dollars and 40,000 U.S. dollars, the price was not yet certain, whether including the battery and get a tax subsidy from the government.

One-fifth of all respondents indicated that they do not want to pay more for electric vehicles. The other one-fifth would pay 5000 dollars in addition because they understand that prices are still very expensive battery. Estimated, the electric car market could reach double digits in the next few years.

Renault is currently developing a new engine capacity of 2.3 L DCI for their new van vehicles, Master. In addition, there some brand-new kitchens runway for other models, such as news from autoevolution (19/3/2010), 2.3 L engine that has three variants starting from the lowest-powered 100 HP. Then there is the 125 HP equipped with a turbocharger, the other 150 HP is still in consideration or not use a turbocharger. These machines would become part of the Renault-Nissan products.

Not only that, the other new machines DCI 2.0 L M9R they call. Dapu runway will be sitting in the Renault Laguna and Escape. Presence replaces the 2.5 DCI (G9U) and DCI 3.0 L 4 cylinder. Privileges 2.3 L, engine capacity increased by enlarging the diameter of the cylinder and the piston step increase, Then, equipped with a fuel injector 7, So, transmission is available two models, ie, manual or automatic for berpenggerak car front wheel (FWD) or rear (RWD).

There’s more, this new engine uses timing chains, more efficient than previous models. CO2 emissions decreased 10 percent. This engine will be produced at Renault plants in France, Cleon. It also produces engines 2.0 L, 2.0 L engine and 1.9 L petrol and 3.0 DCI V6 Diesel, also produced transmission 5-speed manual and 6-speed.

Not win it, look F1 team Red Bull in F1 GP Brahrain, Sunday (14/3/2010), through the appearance of Sebastian Vettel was invited excitement. This occurred despite a German racer failed to reap the full numbers and had to settle for finishing in fourth position. Beyond that, as a former Ron Dennis McLaren team boss tried to respond to statements about the Red Bull’s camp experienced the racer interference.

Although Dennis is now busy leading the McLaren Automotive, he was still monitoring developments in the arena, including the matter of Red Bull. He doubted the statement associated fracture of the team’s spark plug in a car Bahrain GP.

When the race, Vettel who has led three-quarters the speed of the race was suddenly loosened, Red Bull Party issued a statement that it may have occurred because of interference with the waste channel. However, the news media launch clarification that interference occurs at the spark plug, but Spanish newspaper AS, which reported that Vettel slowed down his car because of fuel crisis.

When the record slumped, appeared estimates that the ECU (electronic control unit) to switch to the old program to secure (the amount) of fuel, “said Dennis to the Cologne newspaper Express quoted Worldcarfans, on 21 March 2010.

Dennis dare issued a statement and said that he understood the problem because the ECU for all F1 teams supplied by one of its business units, namely McLaren Electronic Systems (MES). So, Dennis rate that Rb6 tank capacity is smaller than most other F1 cars. He expressed these expectations due was claimed to know exactly work as the Adrian Newey Technical Director of Red Bull.

Before joining the Red Bull, Newey had worked long hours at McLaren. He was designed Rb6 by changing the side pod models. “The problem is on the Red Bull design problems. Either that, its fuel supply is too high than they expect,” said Dennis.

This substance is one of the tooth enamel forming materials. The existence of these substances can prevent tooth decay.
• Eat foods that are fibrous
Consuming vegetables or fruits can prove stronger teeth and prevent cavities.
• Reduce foods containing sugar and flour
This type of food if left on the teeth and the bacteria will cause acids that create cavities.

Many people are amazed by the achievements Tata Motors, India lately, In addition to making the most cheap car in the world (Nano), last year and earlier this month, again a surprise, showing a prototype electric car. Last year, Tata display first electric car in Geneva Motor Show, the Indica Vista, at the beginning of this month, displaying Nano Electricity.

E-Motor
So, for the electricity drive systems, including electric motors, not made by Tata, but supplied by a Canadian company specializing in the field of electricity, the TM4. Its products are used procedure called TM4MOTIV permanent magnet motor.

According to Eric Azeroual, TM4 Business Development Manager, Tata has given an electric motor of their final designs sophisticated. The electric motor has advantages, smaller, lighter and cheaper so it is suitable for all electric cars or hybrid vehicles plug-in.

Electric motors or e-bike has produced by company in recent years. Comparison between weight and power is the best in its class. TM4 itself is part of Hydro-Quebec, the company that makes hydroelectric plants in Canada. The company also has worked with electric cars to market Mitusbihi iMiEV in the city.

The company is able to produce 10,000 E-bike per year. Motor is designed from 10 kW (for a golf cart) to 660 kW (wind-powered generators and make the ship).

Europe
Last year, India’s Tata motors to buy 110TM4M?TIVE as a source of electric vehicle drive first, namely Indica Vista. Meanwhile, the # 2 Tata Motors, Ravi Kant ensure that the Indica Vista will be introduced in Europe at the end of this year.

Tata Motors also has chosen Miljø Innovasjon bought Nowergia companies to make electronic control systems. Whereas for lithium-ion batteries purchased from Electrovaya, also from Canada.

Tata Nano concept has shown that use electricity TM4 electric motor at the beginning of this month. Replace electric Nano petrol engine mounted on the rear wheel with 240 volt/400 amp motor and battery pack lithium-ion is 12 kWh developed with Miljø Innovasjon. Tata claims the Nano electric four passengers, all the contents of the batteries can be used for the distance of 160 km with a capacity of 0-60 kpj acceleration in 10 seconds.

Jump on Wheels
Great achievement that successfully created adakag make TM4 electric motor mounted directly on the wheel or hub-wheel. To maximize torque, TM4 design using inverted topology. Motor rotates outside the stator. According to Eric Azeroual, this configuration can be reaches radius of the hub to the rotor, so that the moment increases.

Also described, an electric motor that works on high rotation, 10,000 rpm, “The higher the spin motor, the energy density also increased, Smaller motor sizes and prices, of course, be much cheaper, “he explained.

For example, M? motor weighing 120 kg to produce 32 maximum powers 120 kW, or 37 kW for continue). Maximum torque 170 Nm (78 Nm continue), Comparison of energy and weight of 4.6 kW / kg. Mixture used for cooling water and glycol 40: 60. Density is very solid package for the motor from this company using flat wire coils. They have patents with shorter rolls. All TM4 electric motor designed to work with smart grid charging.

Toyota Prius hybrid plug-ins debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and marked the beginnings of Toyota hybrid car with lithium-ion batteries that can store more electrical energy than the Prius NiMH used today.

This battery allows the Prius to travel 21 km with a speed of 96 km / h only with electrical energy, without the help of gasoline engine 1.8 liter four cylinders. The first generation battery result of cooperation between Toyota and Panasonic Electric Vehicle Energy begins November produced 500 units in the assembly factory in Teiho, Japan.

It took three years to conduct testing of this battery is made in Japan, North America and Europe to ensure its performance in various weather conditions and diverse.

This December, Toyota will send 350 units of the Prius plug-in hybrid with battery to Japan and Europe. A number of government agencies and business institutions would be to lease for a certain period. January 2010, turn to the United States where 150 units were sent to selected partners around the country Uncle Sam’s.

The first group of cars was equipped with instruments and sending data collectors so that Toyota can monitor how the performance of the car and get information on how to work the car and the battery in the real world.

Toyota Prius Gen 3 was chosen as car of The Year 2009 Auto Build version. But the struggle for third-generation Prius is not easy in the face of two rivals in this climactic battle. As a hybrid car, the Prius would excel in fuel consumption than any rival. For routes within the city and highway respectively 19.4 km / l and 27.1 km / l.

Alloy 1800 cc engine and 98 dk technology Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) which carried a Prius is much better than the previous generation. Although weight 1390 kg, but the bigger engine, 1-speed transmission with automatic planetary gear and the additional power of 80 dk electric motor, the Prius is easier to drive in urban road and freeway. In fact, performance acceleration 0-100 km / hour can be reach in 11.72 seconds.
