Car tax renewal

Just renewed the vehicle tax for my old Ford. It cost me £185 for a year. Tax is high because my is above 1549 cc and registered before 1 March 2001. The cost of vehicle tax is given on the DirectGov site.

Was really annoyed when I found out that the post office near our house where I normally renew my tax, has now been closed. Had to drive to the Great Heath Sub Post Office on Foleshill road (CV6 5JX).

Just found out that I might have lost the chance to win a SEAT car. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) working with SEAT has just launched a free prize draw for people who renew their tax online or by phone.

Revolutionary concept from BMW

Ever wonder how BMW comes up with their concepts?

The first video of a series presenting a revolutionary concept by BMW appeared on the BMW-web.tv site.

According to what I heard, it's strange because it doesn't fall in any predefined car types - it's not a sedan, nor a SUV or even a station-wagon.



Thanks for the info Markus.

The New Honda Insight

The New Honda Insight

First of all, if you take a look at the pictures of the new Honda Insight on the stand in Detroit, one thing stands out: it looks just like a Prius. Same short, sloped nose, same little wheels, same chunky back. Part of that is due to the aerodynamics necessary to get high fuel economy in a hybrid, but part of it is probably a little Prius piggy-backing, as well. In order to sell a lot of Insights, you have to aim for the familiar.

Honda hasn’t announced an official price for its hybrid, but it keeps saying it will be cheaper than the Prius. The new Prius doesn’t have an MSRP yet, either, but we can expect both of the cars to be somewhere slightly north of $20,000.

2010 Ford Fusion

2010 Ford Fusion

Ford Motor Company shocked the Pennsylvania-area Drumm family with a brand new 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid sedan.

In addition to donating the Fusion Hybrid, Ford also contribued to the makeover by affixing energy-saving solar panels to the roof of the new home, helping to reduce the home's energy consumption, energy costs, and environmental footprint.

With its Escape Hybrid, Mariner Hybrid, and new 2010 Fusion Hybrid, Ford is now the the largest domestic producer of full hybrid vehicles in North America.

Chrysler Is Pairing Up With Fiat

Chrysler has seen its share of tough times. First it was bought by German company Daimler, after falling behind its competitors GM and Ford. Then the Daimler-Chrysler relationship disintegrated and Daimler sold Chrysler to a holding company. Chrysler already filed Chapter 11 once, and there was recent talk of a second bankruptcy.

However, with the auto bailout package passed and Chrysler receiving essential loan money, it’s determined to turn around and regain an advantage on its publicly owned domestic competitors GM and Ford. Today it announced a big new partnership that will take many by surprise. Chrysler is pairing up with Fiat.

But a tie-up also could be a huge winner for Fiat, which has been angling to get its phenomenally popular 500 model, as well as the stylish Alfa Romeo luxury brand, to American consumers for years. Chrysler's infrastructure could allow the Italian company to do that on the cheap.

New upcoming Kinetic Hyosung Comet 250


Kinetic is about to launch the v-twin 250cc motorcycle in India. Imported from its Korean partner Hyosung, the Comet 250cc shares the v-twin motor with the kinetic Hyosung Aquila which was introduced in India in limited numbers a while back.

Once the Kinetic Comet hits Indian streets, it will be the king of the road among motorcycles. The crown is currently held by a narrow margin by the Hero Honda Karizma motorcycle. The Kinetic Hyosung Comet's design is inspired by the Ducati Monstro, and is a small and confy bike, with a sporty stance. The front forks are massive, and are borrowed from the Hyosung Comet 650.

Some of the known specifications of the Kinetic Hyosung Comet are that wheel base will be 1455 mm, 5-speed, 150/70x17 tyres, 27 bhp, 10000 rpm max and estimated top speed - 125 kmph. The Kinetic Hyosung Comet 25o is expected to priced at Rs. 2 lakhs. The price will thus be a tad more than the Kinetic Aquila, which was priced at around Rs 1.5 lakh.

Stills, Specifications, Features and Reviews of Mahindra Xylo



The first thing you notice about the Mahindra Xylo is its masculinity. Its poise. And its attitude. You wonder if the aggressive front grill (with chrome slats) is responsible for this.

All in all, this car surely puts sedans out of fashion.

Xylo is all set to change the perception that sedans have long been considered the ultimate in high-end mobility. It offers class-defining lavish space all around such that even a six-foot tall person can stretch in comfort in the third row seat. Xylo has been designed for all markets globally except the U.S.

The 2010 Prius grows 0.6 inches longer and 0.8 inches wider than the previous model. Toyota promises increased cargo space in the hatchback because of a redesigned cooling system for the hybrid's batteries. Rear legroom increases slightly because of redesigned front seatbacks.

In addition to its hybrid system, the Prius adds new features including adaptive cruise control and a lane-departure warning system.

Power comes from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor.

Airflow in cars



We know that for a car to run in a proper manner there are so many factors that are to be taken into account. Not only the external parts but also the internal parts of the cars also. Internal parts means the elements that is being added on to the engine system. It may consists of the air flow regulator, fuel regulator, valves,etc..... Here we can have a look at the air flow regulator.

Air, Spark and Fuel together reacts to burst and generate energy. Its important that air flow is regulated and controlled with precision and the Throttle Body manages it efficiently. The throttle body sits between the air filter and the intake manifold regulating air in response to the accelerator. The throttle plate inside the throttle body is called the butterfly valve that controls the airflow.

We can mod the throttle body too to improve performance and this can be done by doing a throttle body enlargement. This is a process in which the diameter of the TB(Throttle Body) is increased by shaving it by 40mm or 50mm based on the type of car. Doing this mod will increase the airflow into the engine and the air mass sensor will detect the extra air intake and communicates with the ECU to inject more fuel hence extra power is generated. Injection of fuel than stock configuration translates to bad fuel efficiency, a sacrifice for that extra torque.

There are bolt on kits for hassle free upgrade and not having to break your head on making a right mod on the stock throttle body. Its best if the car is installed with a Free Flow Exhaust and better to have the engine Ported and Polished as well to squeeze the juice out of a TB enlargement mod.

Alloy wheels for cars

Alloys - We know that alloy wheels for cars not only improve the looks of the car but also improves the performance of the vehicle also. That is by increasing the stability, speed, efficiency etc.....A number of alloy wheel patterns are available in the market. Also there are alloy wheels from different companies also. Since 2008 there is a trend of putting alloys in the vehicle rather than doing any other extra accessories. But even when if there is alloys so many were not satisfied with their vehicles. Anyway my personal opinion for that is do as much of the alterations as possible without spoling the vehicle.... anyway here are some new type of alloys in the market.......
