Konsep Radikal Bikin Toyota Yaris Ekstrem
Seandainya permainan warnanya biasa-biasa, hasil modifikasi Toyota Yaris punya Surya ini terkesan biasa. Kuatnya kombinasi warna bercorak urat kayu membuat kendaraan hatchback tersebut menjadi ekstrem.
Apalagi pintu belakang dipangkas dan tinggal dua dengan model gunting. Perubahan daun pintu itu diwanti oleh Surya tanpa menyentuh pilar. "Solusinya, daun pinti dipanjangin 10 cm," jelas Surya.

Pilih dan Rawat Aki Mobil
Aki merupakan salah satu komponen vital, baik di mobil maupun motor. Bila sampai rewel, mesin kendaraan jadi susah dihidupkan. Penyebabnya, sepele karena kurang perhatian dan perawatan.
Jenis yang dipasarkan ada, terutama untuk mobil, ada aki kering dan basah. Kalau kering, tidak perlu ada penambahan air aki dan harga lebih mahal dari jenis basah (mesti menambah air aki).

Monaco for The Fast and The Furious
Of all the sporting events in the world, none can match the glamour and excitement of the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.
More than just a car race, it transcends sport to become Europe’s premier sporting and social event. Even just the name conjures up images of sun-soaked celebrities, expensive yachts and even more expensive living. But this image is somewhat misleading. Monaco is far more accessible and affordable than it appears.
F1 Grand Prix weekend is definitely the best time to visit Monaco. This may go against all the advice you’ve ever heard about travelling in the off-season to avoid crowds. But it is the crowds – the spectators – who lend this event the carnival atmosphere it’s so famous for. Everyone from self-made millionaires to budget backpackers is there for the pivotal race on the Formula 1 calendar.
Even if you have no interest in motor sports, you can’t help but get swept up in the atmosphere.
The Monaco F1 Grand Prix has been held on the first Sunday after Ascension Day since its modern inception in 1950. It determines the staging of the races for the entire Grands Prix season.
There are three real options for viewing the race. You can watch it from the grandstands; this offers the best views of the race, the yachts and the giant screen televising those parts of the track you can’t see. The stands situated opposite the harbour, which run from Tabac Corner to the Swimming Pool, offer the most encompassing view. While the stands at the chicane, facing towards Tabac Corner, provide a different picture altogether and give a clearer view of how hard the drivers really work. Depending on the Grandstand, tickets can be expensive, so you may care for the next option.
You can buy a General Admission ticket offering access to Old Monaco, which is situated on The Rock and provides a bird’s eye view of the track. Your best bet is to wedge yourself firmly against the parapet and stay there for the rest of the day. It helps to be part of a larger group, because if you move from your spot for any reason, it will soon be occupied.
It also helps if you get there early as all the best spots are snapped up quickly.
An easier option with General Admission tickets is to find a shady tree on The Rock hillside, just below the parapets of Old Monaco, and enjoy the race among the Tifosi. These Italian fanatics follow Ferrari to all the European Grands Prix and are as remarkable to watch as the race itself. You can always tell how well or badly Ferrari is doing by the expression on their faces.
Watching the race from the leafy hillside requires the surefootedness of a mountain goat. However, it does offer some of the best views of the race. Just remember, no matter how strenuous it may seem climbing up, it’s getting back down that’s the challenge.

Ferrari Drawings

My favorite Ferrari to draw is probably the Enzo or the 250 GTO, both very different cars from different eras. Doing a Ferrari Enzo drawing is always exciting, because this car is so extreme and looks like no other. And because of the sharp edges it makes it a very challenging car to draw. While a Ferrari 250 GTO drawing is very hard to draw correctly because of the beautiful curves this car has.
Then again the reward of pulling it off is totally worth the frustrating hours getting those lines right! A Ferrari F40 drawing is also very special to do, this car is so raw and its always a challenge to get that rawness to come alive in the drawing. My best advise on how to improve your car drawings is simply to spend more time on them. For example if you are not fully satisfied with the front lights, don’t just continue with the drawing and hoping that the lights will get better by some magical touch! No, look at the lights and don’t give up on them until you are fully satisfied with them, then move on to the next part of the car drawing.
If you love Ferrari you should get your favorite pencil and sit down with a clean sheet of paper and just relax and start sketching your favorite Ferrari. Don’t give up to quickly, just focus on the general shape of the outward lines of the car and you will soon see how the sketch is becoming better. Remember patience is the key to success when drawing a Ferrari.
Car Repair Prices: The Dim Underworld Of Automotive Service
Most know the most glaring auto repair pricing abuses: Service centers overcharging $100’s even $1000’s for repairs, or charging for repairs that were never done at all. To be sure, this still happens every day. However, there are many other techniques which involve flying just low enough to avoid detection. The savvy service centers increase the price so as not to set off any alarms. It has become so common that it’s not just an accepted industry practice, but even service customers have accepted paying higher prices.
Knowing how ingrained price-gouging is within the automotive service industry, it’s shocking (although understandable) that even service customers have succumbed to excessive car repair prices. I frequently hear service customers’ state: “Yeah, I know I was ripped off, but my car’s fixed now.” Or, “I know they charge too much, but they’re convenient.” This is insane! To accept auto repair price-gouging is to allow its continuation.
The difficult part, of course, is how to stop it. Given that the automotive service industry is so big and powerful (and so frightfully necessary) how does one battle such a force? Perhaps the first thing to understand is the degree to which this type of stealth-like price-gouging occurs. A two-decade undercover investigation has revealed that 98% of all repair shops (dealerships, local shops, and franchises) are price-gouging their customers in one form or another. The following exchange, between a service manager and service advisor, provides an idea of the “scope of scamming” below the radar.
A service advisor asked his manager how to bill more hours per month, which is another way of asking how the advisor can make more money. The service manager casually stated: “Simply add an additional two tenths to every ticket you write.” In other words, every customer this service advisor “helps,” he was instructed by a superior to add a “little” extra. So if the labor rate is $100 per hour two tenths would equal $20. Rather than pay $100 per hour, the service customer would actually pay $120. $20 doesn’t sound like much compared to the gross injustices we all know.
However, whether it’s an overcharge of two cents or $20, it’s too much. If you visit a shop practicing this strategy alone (there are hundreds of strategies, many applied simultaneously), you may end up paying over a $100 or more by year’s end. What’s really shocking is that being ripped off $100 over a year’s time is actually minor! Try $500-$5000

Pictures of Sports Cars: See Yourself in the Driver’s Seat and the Car Becomes Yours

No. That’s too limited. Let’s go for broke. Visualize yourself as the driver in this sports car picture. You are definitely behind the wheels, confidently cruising down the highway. Can you see it? Do you have in your mind’s eye an exotic sports car picture? Moreover, to be even more specific, make it the picture of a fast sports car speeding down the highway.
And while you’re having this vision, why not extend your imagination a little further. Close your eyes. There you are. You can see the sports car picture. So you’re looking at the picture of a Ferrari. Let’s say Ferrari F430 Spider. Take a look. No? Well, what sports car picture do you want to visualize yourself driving? What photo do you want to put in this picture of the sports car? Lamborghini picture? Not to your taste? How about the Jaguar XK8 Convertible? Or why not a picture of the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? Perhaps you’d like something more classic, like the Austin or the Lotus.
But for the moment, let’s just settle and agree on the picture of the Ferrari. You can change your mind later, at any time you want. After all, this is your visualization. Put any picture of fast sports car you want in your dream. Now, moving on to selecting the color in the picture of the sports car. We’ll make it red. Of course, with your imagination you can make it any color you want—perhaps your favorite color.

Nissan GT-R Spec V (2009) CAR review

This is the ultimate GT-R. While Porsche has RS, Lamborghini has SV and BMW has M, Nissan’s best GT-Rs (or Skylines) have come with a V-Spec designation. Now reversed, the Spec V is Nissan’s newest GT-R, with carbon brakes, a stripped-out interior and a bank balance-breaking £115k price tag.
So what turns a ‘regular’ Nissan GT-R into a Nissan GT-R Spec V?
At the current exchange rate? Somewhere in the region of £55-£60k, or the price of a second GT-R on your driveway. Gulp. Most of that cost comes from the Spec V’s carbon brakes, which cost around £35k. The reason for the extra expense, says Nissan, is that the discs feature a higher carbon content than you’ll find in the equivalent Porsche, Lambo or Bentley stoppers.
Along with the brakes, the Spec V also features a new front splitter with carbon ducts to help cool the carbon discs, a carbon rear wing, some more black stuff to replace the hefty rear seats, and a special steering wheel-mounted boost button. Very KERS.
All the above is exclusive to the Spec V, but the rest of the tweaks – including manually adjustable carbon Recaro seats, a new diffuser and titanium-coated exhaust, black forged Rays wheels, performance-orientated rubber and fixed-rate suspension – are available for your regular GT-R through Nissan’s Nismo motorsport outfit.
