Despite being slightly smaller than its predecessor, the car has a longer wheelbase which results in a spacious cabin, the new models it’s called Kia Carens. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a>This car its sleek and sculpted design marks a dramatic shift away from the more utilitarian look of its predecessor. The new Carens models has will be available with either five or seven seats, both delivering generous room for all occupants.<p></p><p>The Carens is based on the latest Kia Ceed. It’s likely to available in the UK with three engines, including two 1.7-liter diesels and a 1.6-litre petrol unit, all with stop-start. The full UK line-up will be confirmed early. The new Carens has all packaging capabilities of Kia design and engineering teams to create more space in a car with a smaller footprint. It is 20 mm shorter, 15 mm narrower and 40 mm lower than its predecessor, but a 50 mm longer wheelbase, coupled with a more cab-forward design, which means the base of the A-pillar is now just above the front wheel center line provides more space for all occupants. The overall height of 1610 mm is one of the lowest in the class and is identical to that of the Kia Soul.</p><p>The compact 6-speed automatic available with the higher-powered diesel and petrol engines was engineered and is manufactured in-house by Kia.

The cars are almost the same, except that the M400 is much more powerful and has been reworked extensively to make it perform better on the race track. But it's still a road car.<span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><p>The performance of these supercars is just stunning a 0-60 time of under 3.8 seconds with a maximum speed of over 170 mph for the M12 GTO-R3 puts it in the league of super-quick supercars. Not fast enough? Well, the M400 has a top speed of around 185 mph, and can reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Light and simple</h3><p>The Nobles are low coupes, with the look you can only get with a mid-engined layout. Above all they're amazing value the M12 GTO-R3 is yours for about $100,000, and the M400 costs about $120,000. These are sports cars in the true tradition of modern sports and racing cars started by the likes of John Cooper, Colin Chapman and Eric Broadley light, simple with good road holding.</p><p>It just shows that you don't need 6 liters or more with 500 plus bhp to build a supercar. Sure, with 500 bhp you can get to 190 mph or more, but off a race track that doesn't mean a thing.</p><p>So who's Noble? It is a small firm started by Lee Noble, who has designed a number of kit cars before starting his own company to produce a supercar. His aim was to produce a car that was spacious and civilized, and that "anyone could drive fast without feeling intimidated." Now they produce over 200 cars like that each year.</p><p>For the M400, they took the M12 GTO-R3 and souped up the engine, and then sorted the suspension to suit. The weight is slightly lower and light weight is one of the strengths of the M12 GTO-R3 anyway.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Distinctive lines with air dam and three front air intakes</h3><p>The Nobles look the part, with the typical low nose and an air dam stretching across below the three air intakes. The lamps are the small, modern halogen type, behind streamlined plastic panels. In the sides are neat air intakes forward of the rear wheels, which apart from being useful, break up the slab look of the sides all the air intakes are larger on the M400 to improve cooling. The sloping roof extends into flying buttresses that slope back into the tail on each side of the engine cover. At the rear, one spoiler is built in, but there's also a wild separate spoiler on a pair of legs above the tail.</p><p>Inside, the layout is simplicity itself, with the main instruments in individual pods right in front of the driver, and the minor instruments on the central console. The short gear level pokes up above the deep central tunnel.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Twin-turbo charged V-6 engine</h3><p>At the heart of each Noble is a twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter V-6 mounted amidships and driving through a six-speed gearbox to the rear wheels. The car is very light and this is where the performance comes from: the combination of plenty of power, light weight and a small frontal area.</p><p>It's hard to believe that the 352 bhp V-6 engine of the M12 GTO-R3 starts life as Ford's all-aluminum unit. Most of the internal parts are either replaced with special Noble ones, or are modified to improve performance. The twin turbocharger installation is Noble's own, and these tiny units are responsible for boosting power to 352 bhp at only 6,200 rpm that's 118 bhp per liter, the same as the Ferrari Challenge Stradale. Maximum torque of 350 lbs ft is produced all the way from 3,500 to 5,000 rpm, giving massive mid-range power.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Boosted to give 425 bhp in the M400</h3><p>To boost the power output of the M400 to 425 bhp at 6,500 rpm, high lift camshafts are installed with a pair of larger turbochargers. A side effect of the extra power is that the maximum torque of 390 lb ft (529 Nm) is produced at a higher speed, reducing low-speed torque a little. The fuel management system is new, and to suit the racers, the limiter cuts in at 7,200 rpm instead of 6,400.</p><p>With that much power coming out of such a small pot, forged pistons replace the cast ones, and there is a large baffled sump. An air-cooled oil cooler is also standard.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Getrag six-speed gearbox</h3><p>Currently, Noble is the only user of the six-speed close-ratio box fitted to the V-6. It is built by Getrag, the German specialist. The engine is mounted across the frame, so the gearbox and axle gears are in one unit, providing one of the most compact power train packages in the business. A new gear shift mechanism has been adopted for the M400.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Simple, stiff frame</h3><p>Simplicity is the theme with the chassis frame it consists of a steel tubular space frame to which aluminum panels are bonded and riveted. The result is light weight and great stiffness all at a fraction of the cost of the carbon fiber composites and aluminum space frames used by Noble's competitors.</p><p>Practical considerations have not been forgotten as they often are on super sports cars. Both the nose and tail section hinge up to give plenty of access to the mechanical units.</p><p>The suspension is typical of supercars, with double wishbones front and rear. The uprights are aluminum, and there are the usual spring/damper units at each wheel. For the M400, dampers with aluminum tubes are used, and there is an anti-roll bar at the front the M12 GTO-R3 doesn't need one, but for the track less roll was deemed useful.</p><p>This little pocket supercar it is only 161 in long weighs only 2,380 lbs (1,080 kg). Little wonder that the performance leaves owners of very powerful, exotic and expensive machines gasping. With 335 bhp per tonne you're just bound to be able to accelerate as fast as the tires can grip and the M12 GTO-R3 has a special differential to prevent much excessive wheel spin on one wheel.</p><p>With its greater power output 143 bhp per liter and slightly lower weight, the M400 has a power:weight ratio of 400 bhp per tonne! That is extraordinary, and is one of the reasons the Nobles are so fast.</p><p>Definitely a pair of compact supercars that make you think again about what you need to drive fast. The answer could be a Noble!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157076551898092371.post-51619280885575338772021-04-05T00:11:00.003-07:002023-07-22T21:02:31.202-07:00 Best Suzuki Mechanic in Asia<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkO-9PhNXhxOAby0DaLWt8CISUS9KwfdMQJJ1jsMRQ0VnCtpTVgNm1djiQEVU1YoPTZj1UDC1NqCs3i_Pk6rDwmMGwwYRutck2RdpJsFkkxZP4LZuhp9jsSEyfDOwi7QNOFogw9lt0b64/s640/motorcycle+mechanic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkO-9PhNXhxOAby0DaLWt8CISUS9KwfdMQJJ1jsMRQ0VnCtpTVgNm1djiQEVU1YoPTZj1UDC1NqCs3i_Pk6rDwmMGwwYRutck2RdpJsFkkxZP4LZuhp9jsSEyfDOwi7QNOFogw9lt0b64/s16000/motorcycle+mechanic.jpg" /></a></div><br />Suzuki Motorcycle Service Skill Competition Asia was attended by no less than 28 participants from 11 countries in Asia.<p></p><p>Suzuki Motorcycle Service Skill Competition Asia was held at Thai Suzuki Motor Co ,.

However, it is the same length as the Jaguar XF, but about 2 inches lower. Clearly, the Porsche Panamera will have generous space inside.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Panamera looks like typically Porsche</h3><p>The nose is typically Porsche, with a wide, low grille flanked by a pair of quite large air intakes, a smooth nose without a visible bumper, and fair in headlamps. The grille slopes back, and has a slight bulge in the middle to leave room for the engine.</p><p>Side air extractors behind the rear wheels give the car a sporty look, while the length of the car makes it look low. At the rear, the tail bulges upward compared with the 911 to give more interior space, but this looks a Porsche through and through.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Tailgate and folding seat backs</h3><p>Rear access to the luggage space is provided by a tailgate, and the rear seat backrests can be folded forward to provide more luggage space when there are only one or two people in the car. Without doubt, the Panamera will make a great grand tourer.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Panamera direct injection engines</h3><p>All Panameras will be powered by direct injection V-type engines similar to those used in the Cayenne, but with power outputs from 300 to 500 bhp. These are built in Porsche's plant at Stuttgart but the bodies for the Panamera are being built by the VW plant in Leipzig, where the Phaeton is built. Incidentally VW is now controlled by Porsche.- and six or seven-speed boxes</p><p>Porsche will offer the six-speed manual transmission, but most buyers will surely opt for the twin-clutch sequential seven-speed unit, which gives the advantages of a manual – including good fuel consumption - with the ease of use of an automatic.</p><p>Four-wheel drive is standard on the top model in the Panamera supercar range, but is available as an option on other models. Of course, these supercars will be equipped with plenty of electronics to smooth the way ahead.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157076551898092371.post-86113322484862948262021-03-07T22:39:00.003-08:002023-07-22T21:02:50.948-07:00 Choose The Right Car Cover For Your Vehicle<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UYg9BqHWfUEmx94mXrJSfpR78IYSIl42ivruknWSQQGazi2xRtT0qa78SFSRTmuE9E9zn1B3wU1ga8tbrwf-iknkfs2GwbzETiY8EdaN2fnTE07yoTHpiN9QgBaSbfv_kGZH2ndhFRI/s640/5820742_R_SET.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UYg9BqHWfUEmx94mXrJSfpR78IYSIl42ivruknWSQQGazi2xRtT0qa78SFSRTmuE9E9zn1B3wU1ga8tbrwf-iknkfs2GwbzETiY8EdaN2fnTE07yoTHpiN9QgBaSbfv_kGZH2ndhFRI/s16000/5820742_R_SET.jpg" /></a></div><br />Car cover is one of the best accessories for any vehicle, particularly for those cars which are not garaged. Keep any car out for long and the elements are sure to mar its finish, thanks to nature which tends to mistreat anything consisting of metal, plastic, and rubber. <span><a name='more'></a></span>Not just any car cover will do, rather finding one that offers maximum protection is the best course of action to take.<p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Top Car Covers Offer Maximum Protection</h3><p>A simple acorn can mar your car's finish. Without going over the various brands of car covers available, let’s take a look at what sort of protection every car cover should provide, particularly one designed for outside use:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Bird excrement, squirrel mischief or other wildlife amusement.</li><li>Tree sap, leaves, and small branches.</li><li>Residue: rain, snow, sleet, ice, and hail.</li><li>Flying objects: whatever stuff the wind kicks up.</li><li>Humans: there is something about a new car that attracts nosy [and dirty] onlookers. Why permit people to lean up against your car and peer into its interior?. If they can’t see inside, they’ll stay away!</li><li>Solar radiation, particularly direct sunlight.</li><li>Dust, dirt, and debris or anything else kicked up by the wind.</li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">When comparison shopping for a car cover you should determine the following:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Is the car cover custom-fitted for my make/model or is it a generic, one size fits all product? Can you guess which one looks better and offers maximum protection?</li><li>What level of protection does the car cover offer? Will it protect your car from moisture as well as from harmful solar radiation? Exactly how many layers of material are included? Thin car covers will rip and need replacing in no time. Remember, if you want quality you’ll need to pay for it.</li><li>Does the car cover come with side mirror pockets? The most expensive ones do and they usually will fit your car the best.</li></ul><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Garaged Cars Need Car Covers Too</h3><p>Of course there is no substitute for a garaged vehicle. Even then, parking in a garage subjects your car to dust, nicks, and scrapes so a car cover can come in handy for protected cars too.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157076551898092371.post-77039402842587693892021-03-01T01:02:00.004-08:002023-07-22T21:03:03.030-07:00 The Benefits of Car Tuning<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRONdcjkPzYCQGMcKki32cUOXBCgtVE4Y9_ZZ-RKuAg8a9hT2JXNpyZvKQKLIiqXk00OHdIdPEviDgX_yFL7ZXGa-26eXPML_YRBnADQfo3ZrZN3je6fkztybpCFaB_Uvvh8gG9-DsZyU/s640/car+tuning.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRONdcjkPzYCQGMcKki32cUOXBCgtVE4Y9_ZZ-RKuAg8a9hT2JXNpyZvKQKLIiqXk00OHdIdPEviDgX_yFL7ZXGa-26eXPML_YRBnADQfo3ZrZN3je6fkztybpCFaB_Uvvh8gG9-DsZyU/s320/car+tuning.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Usually, it is the desire of all drivers to have car that we offer the best performance. However, high levels of performance may be limited when the car first manufactured. Tuning is thus necessary to improve the car’s performance by increasing these limits. <span><a name='more'></a></span>The limitation on the performance of a car is usually based on the average needs of car users and laws. <p></p><p style="text-align: left;">However, some car users may need to have their cars tailored to their own needs.</p><p>Race cars are often for performance and looks at the body and engine sounds. Tuning involves replacing existing auto parts or modification. Amendment and can participate by adding more pieces to the existing pieces. Tuning commonly is performed in the engine. For example, an engine can be modified to be incorporated with superchargers. A supercharger is generally used for compressing the combustion gases in an engine.</p><p>Compressors to allow a greater understanding of what more oxygen will be available for combustion to take place at a higher speed. This is due to a compressor compresses the oxygen available and increasing proportion of combustion. The end result is usually the engine to produce more power. However, superchargers lead at higher temperatures. Performance is supercharged engine may deteriorate faster than a normal engine.</p><p>Car tuning also involves customizing car electronic parts that control motor. Such components are based on computer technology to monitor the performance of the car, especially the engine. These electronic parts are typically computer programs that can be programmed to initially limit the engine achieve optimum performance levels. After tuning, the programs are modified so that it will not limit motor performance.</p><p>Cars have passed mechanical control electric control. This makes it easy for cars to be held tuning programs can be easily modified or deleted and replaced. This makes the whole process cheaper and faster. Modification of mechanical parts can take longer and also expensive. This tuning has been very effective due to technology. Electronic engine control is also more efficient and can be well controlled.</p><p>Tuning car also involves modification of suspension components. This adjustment consists of springs and shock absorbers of a car. Shorter springs are used than normal so the car will be reduced. </p><p>The car becomes more stable, especially when driving around bends at high speed. However, the suspension tuning to be done carefully, as it can affect other components if only one has been modified.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157076551898092371.post-60402886755359132812021-02-19T23:52:00.003-08:002023-07-22T21:03:13.851-07:00Mazda CX-5, Sport Driving Engine Character<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGqisLutC_Hku7nuTPZXCv7pfRj5Iu83nuAzfXzWlsiw-S0MMtgMqsh6vDbVewxUnHdnwozvp7GftPHVST7JFPoSd06tHqwHJ6AE3X-PhNFLjp-VjJoQM-f3xN8xcuHUCaJZP4YBvp-4/s640/Mazda+CX-5.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGqisLutC_Hku7nuTPZXCv7pfRj5Iu83nuAzfXzWlsiw-S0MMtgMqsh6vDbVewxUnHdnwozvp7GftPHVST7JFPoSd06tHqwHJ6AE3X-PhNFLjp-VjJoQM-f3xN8xcuHUCaJZP4YBvp-4/s320/Mazda+CX-5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Honestly, it's hard to find an equal match that deserves to be used as a benchmark for the Mazda CX-5 in Indonesia. Looking at its dimensions, this medium crossover should compete with other 5-passenger SUVs such as the Kia Sportage and the Hyundai Tucson. <span><a name='more'></a></span>But both in Indonesia are only sold in a choice of 2.0 liter engine capacity only. While the CX-5 is now only sold in a choice of 2.5 liter engine.<br /><br />If you look for a comparison that is sold at a similar price range, the CX-5 meets the Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail. The difference is, the two SUVs above provide seven seats. Even then, the Honda CR-V now uses a turbo engine with a capacity of 1.5 liters left. Although the 2.0 liter engined variant is still on sale. Almost all parts of this second generation have changed. Except in the engine sector which is still the same as the previous model, which is still using an engine with a 2.5L capacity.<p></p><p>The latest CX-5 have only undergone revisions or improvements to the control software. This revision resulted in an increase in output by 3PS to 190PS at 6,000 rpm. Likewise with torque, it also increased by 1 Nm to 251 Nm at the same rpm. So, Mazda optimizes the old engine with a greater output but still saves fuel.</p><p>Be the Nissan X-Trail as the most appropriate benchmark for the CX-5. Of particular note, the X-Trail has a superior passenger capacity. At least the X-Trail price still hits the CX-5 price range and most importantly, there is a 2.5 liter engine variant.</p><p>Compared to the Nissan X-Trail 2.5 alone, the CX-5's performance is far superior. His Skyactiv-G engine, produces 190 PS at 6,000 rpm with a peak torque of 251 Nm at 3,250 rpm. Compare this to the X-Trail 2.5 which has a power of 171 PS at 6,000 rpm with a peak torque of 233 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Of course, the CX-5's performance is superior to other competitors with smaller engines. The CX-5 can be proud to be the car with the best performance in its class.<br /><br />Not to mention that the engine output is channeled instantly via a dexterous 6-speed automatic transmission. Unlike most of its competitors who have begun to switch to CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission). CVT type transmissions tend to be more moderate in conveying power from the engine to the wheels. On the positive side, the power distribution of the CVT transmission is softer, which adds to the comfort of the passengers. Amazingly Mazda, even though it's not a CVT, the gearshift of its 6-speed automatic transmission does not interfere with the comfort of the cabin occupants.</p><p>The selection of this non-CVT automatic transmission makes power always available whenever needed. Because the automatic transmission will always choose the gear position that suits your needs. When you want to overtake the vehicle in front, just step on the gas pedal deeper and the gear position will automatically drop, the engine speed will jump up and provide enough power to maneuver.</p><p>Of course, this power distribution is in stark contrast to the Nissan X-Trail or Honda CR-V turbo though. In both cars, there is still a slight lag before the expected power appears. These advantages make the CX-5 still retain its sporty driving character as before. It is true that the superior performance of the CX-5 is not only limited to paper.<br /><br />It needs to be highlighted when its competitors start following the downsizing trend. Honda installed a turbo on the CR-V and nissan implanted an electric motor on the X-Trail to improve fuel efficiency. Mazda Indonesia actually removed the 2.0 liter engine option for the latest generation CX-5.<br /><br />Then what is the feeling of driving the latest generation CX-5? The early generation CX-5 was the first car Mazda developed with the Skyactiv concept as a whole. The goal, for a sense of pleasure while driving. Mazda has indeed succeeded in making the first generation CX-5 a medium crossover with the most sporty driving feel at that time.</p><p>Even though the sales were positive, not a few complained about the suspension that was too hard and the character of the frame structure that was too stiff. This clearly reduces driving comfort. Even though this car was born for use in urban areas, not a race track.<br /><br />Mazda engineers turned their brains as they developed the second generation of the CX-5. As a result, this car has a feeling of driving that is far different from its predecessor. The suspension damping is now very soft like a luxury SUV from Europe. The sport character can still be felt a little because of the minimal signs of swaying around corners. This suit is the most fitting compromise that Mazda can make for CX-5 consumers.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
