Following Up With My Earlier Post

Following up with my earlier post, we only have 1 car shortlisted, which is the Suzuki SX4. With our improving financial stand, I propose to my wife for a stretch in the budget and look at what is offered within the range of RM130,000. As there is where most of the much better B class car is priced, and just for a search, why not. Again, a few cars came into picture, such as the Toyota Altis, Honda Civic, Nissan Sylphy, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Lancer, Ford Focus, Peugeot 407, even Volkswagen Polo. Tight cabin car such as Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Polo is rejected. Bad depreciation car such as Ford Focus and Peugeot 407 is rejected as well. Mitsubishi Lancer is one of the victim from Proton, and leaving us with only Altis, Civic and Sylphy. When cars reached this range of pricing, it's already a very good car and as a consumer, we are always just looking for more features for the money that we are spending.


First of all, Altis interior is dull crazy and it's so boring. We take lowest model of 1.8 for comparison and it fit all we need. The engine response is alright and as you can see from the numbers, all performance is almost the same and the comfort level from this car is very very good. Good thing about Toyota is everything is within expectactions. When you buy a Toyota, you already know what to expect and that's boring to me. Surprisingly the brakes & handling is quite good. Moving on to Nissan Sylphy which my wife don't like as it's too big! But I do take a look anyway and it's a surprisingly good deal. The interior is more dull than Altis, imagine that! Cannot believe there are design that's more dull than Altis. The space inside is bigger Camry or Accord! Safety list is also good with a solid bar near radiator to protect from direct crash. The ride is comfortable and the handling is ok but the engine response is a little slow to my liking.


Anyway my wife don't like it so it's out of our list. Finally Honda Civic and there are few trimline choices but we delete the lowest end model as it does not have what we need. We tested the Civic right after the Altis and if you know about both cars, you will know our response. It's heaven and hell. Lucky that the Altis facelifted is alright in its exterior but still the 4-year-old Civic design still beat the Altis back to hell. On interior, I don't even want to mention as it's not comparable. Civic is famous for its 2-tier meter and deep dashboard design which is incredibly nice and challenge directly to those higher class cars. The engine response for 1.8 is good and it basically meet everything we need. Handling is much better than Altis but overall the main point is the Altis dull design turn this Civic to Angel.


Right after we tested the Civic, I made the deposit. Somehow once you hit this price range, the Suzuki SX4 is no longer in the picture. For young couple like us, it's no brainer for Civic. The only concern is the model is already reaching its 4-year-old cycle where new Civic model is expecting to launch in 2011. Anyway it's too good to resist and we need the car as well. So we don't bother to wait for the new model. A word of advice is that if you don't have the budget, don't ever compare to those higher class car. Honda Civic is always my wife's dream car and I want her to live her dream as well but importantly, I need a better car to protect her and the family when we are travelling. We spent more and more of our time on the road, and I'm not risking it as long as I'm afford to do so.

2019 Porsche Cayenne Coupe First Drive: Porsche's Sportiest SUV

Although more expensive, the three Coupe models are no quicker than their regular Cayenne counterparts. Instead, they get more standard equipment in addition to sportier sheetmetal, including speed-sensitive power steering, Porsche Active Suspension Management, and the Sport Chrono package. A glass panorama roof is also standard, its dark coloring cleverly disguising the fact the roofline doesn't sweep down from the B-pillar as dramatically as the greenhouse. Base Coupe and S Coupe models roll on 20-inch wheels, while the Turbo Coupe comes equipped with 21s and Porsche's trick tungsten-carbide coated PSCB brakes, which generate up to 90 percent less brake dust. As with all Porsches, the Cayenne Coupe options list is long and pricey. One option unique to the Cayenne Coupe is the Lightweight Sport package. In addition to visual tweaks inside and out, this package replaces the heavy glass panorama roof with a clear-coated carbon-fiber panel and swaps the standard alloy wheels for 22-inch forged items.


On the Turbo Coupe, the package also includes the addition of a sports exhaust system. Depending on which of the three variants of the package are chosen, weight saving range from 39 pounds to 48 pounds. Porsche even offers an off-road package that adds extra underbody protection and upgrades the infotainment interface to show steering angle, transverse gradient, and longitudinal incline in the rough stuff. Although it's nice to know Porsche engineers care, the reality is few if any U.S. Cayenne Coupes off the tarmac. In fact, most are likely to spend their days mooching quietly around America's wealthier suburbs. The Cayenne Coupe—capable of 151 mph with its least powerful engine under the hood—is a vehicle whose capabilities will be rarely tested. That least powerful engine is the 335-hp single-turbo V-6. The 434-hp twin-turbo V-6 in the S Coupe (pictured above) is crisper at low revs and zings happily to 6,600 rpm. It's the value choice in the lineup, though in this spec Porsche's sportiest SUV is still merely satisfyingly brisk rather than pin-your-ears-back fast.


Porsche claims the S Coupe is a second quicker than the base car to 60 mph, taking 4.7 seconds for the sprint, and is 12 mph faster with a top speed of 163 mph. With its storming 541-hp V-8, the Cayenne Turbo Coupe the real deal, however. This 5,024-pound Porsche SUV punches hard out of corners and surges ecstatically along the straights—all the way to 177 mph if you're lucky enough to live near an autobahn. The Cayenne Coupes we sampled on the winding roads of southeastern Austria, near the border with Slovenia, were all lavishly equipped. All rode on 22-inch wheels and the anti-roll system. At first acquaintance the Porsche Cayenne Coupe seems a more coherent, more concise take on the sporty SUV concept than its German rivals. It rides better than the BMW X6 and feels more agile than the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. Given Porsche's conservative approach to 0-60 times, the Turbo Coupe promises to be quicker than either the X6 M or the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63. Sporty?


It's got an intriguing powertrain: a tiny 1.4-liter direct-injected four with both a supercharger and a turbo, linked to VW's seven-speed DSG. While Volkswagen GTIs are developed and built in house by the VW mothership, the R models are the responsibility of a newly created subsidiary known as Volkswagen R GmbH. From now on, it will be responsible for all R-branded vehicles, just as Quattro GmbH is the Audi business unit developing, specifying, and marketing all the RS models and the R8. Of course, BMW has been doing the same thing with the M division for years, as has Mercedes with AMG. Because Volkswagen R is the new kid on the block, it's too much to expect its cars to be so far separated from the mainstream just yet. So the Golf R doesn't have a wide body like Ford's Focus RS, nor bespoke suspension arms. The basic chassis -- simple struts at the front and a four-link rear -- is like any other Golf.


The all-wheel-drive system has an electronic differential, pretty much like the Audi TT. And the engine is also shared with the TT S -- a turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four making 266 horsepower. That's a change from the R32 predecessor that employed VW's 3.2-liter narrow-angle V-6. That six-ender sure was a sweet motor, with a delightfully alert response to every change in throttle position right through the rev-range. But it was a heavy unit, and it had also reached the end of the road in emissions compliance. The four-cylinder turbo is lighter (which benefits handling agility), more economical, and cleaner. And it goes faster. There's not a lot wrong with the character of the new engine. The torque curve is steeper, so you need to be more attentive with the gears, but use the torque well and you've got a huge well of easy corner-exit thrust. And as fours go, it makes a charismatic noise when you wind it out toward redline, while remaining civilized enough for long-distance cruising. So while it doesn't have the instant throttle response of that big-capacity six, among its peers it is pretty quick-witted.

Automobile Reviews Simply Done

This is Dodge’s baby for 2007 which started off as a concept SUV. Four-by-four’s are darlings of the Middle East market, and when they’re as radically designed as the new Dodge Nitro, it only eggs people to adopt the difference in appearance. At first glance the Nitro looks large and beefy. Exaggerated flared wheel arches and tough off-road tyres give it strong road presence. The body from after the front fender toward the rear closely resembles the Jeep Commander. There are no curves on the Nitro, its boxy design appears bold and unrelenting. Industrial strength exterior door handles are tough to look and use. The front bumper did catch our interest, if European cars have large open mouth radiator grilles; this bucking bronco has an extended chin and a very low one. The Nitro is available in two V6 engine variants (3.7 litre and 4 litre), the car we had for test had a transverse mounted Magnum 3.7 litre 205 hp easy-going motor which leisurely revved to a peak of 5200 RPM.


But the torque of 314 Nm@4000 RPM is what this motor is all about, it pulls away like a train, but a lot of its own body weight seems to bog it down. The motor only starts howling over 4000 RPM. Though even at city speeds, the exhaust note is deep, clearly announcing your arrival. Power delivery is smooth but the four-speed gearbox is a let down, it just doesn’t shift up or down as quickly as you’d want it to. Throttle response is sluggish as well, though once spanked; it goes like a scalded cat. All the torque can be put to particularly good use for towing and the Nitro has a small button that transfers all the juice to the rear wheels for best traction when towing. A tow hook has to be attached separately. Weighing in at 1.8 tons it wanted to swing its heavy rear out at turns, so we had to be careful. The long wheelbase of 2770mm is good for straight line stability but increases the turning radius to 12 metres. 210mm ground clearance is just about acceptable.


She is a respectable off-road vehicle with a part-time 4WD transfer case that can be switched via a dash mounted knob. In regular driving, 2-wheel-drive with the power going to the rear wheels, the steering feels light and ride quality is soft and bouncy. Even small indents on the road surface make her bob all over the place. The same suspension is very comfortable off the black, absorbing even the worst surfaces without a hitch. So it is more suitable for off-roading than on the road. As you sit high up, the visibility is extremely good and reversing is not an issue either, as there are no thick pillars to obstruct vision, though parking sensors would’ve been a bonus. Our Khaki coloured Nitro had khaki interiors, khaki dash board, khakhi cloth seat covers, khaki door trim, everything in a variant of Khakhi! The only bright spots being the chrome garnish on the shift knob and cleverly designed door release latches. A single disc DVD/CD/MP3/WMA player is standard (no video display screen) with six speakers.


The foot wells are illuminated and steering is adjustable for rake. The dashboard is flat in design and short people may have some ergonomic problems with having to reach out to all the switches. A triple-barrel speedo is attractive and backlit in white while the highly tactile buttons are backlit in green. Interior fit and finish is overall good but very rugged in design and feel. This makes the car feel brawny, women, are you reading this? The Nitro comes equipped with four airbags for the front passengers and disc brakes on all four wheels. ABS, EBD and ESP are standard through out the model range. Additionally, a tyre pressure monitoring system does a system check on start up and warns appropriately. Part of the problem with the bouncy on-road ride quality can be directed towards the 16” steel wheels, though an optional 20” rim is available in R/T trim, we’re assuming it will handle better with larger rims. Our Nitro came with 235/70 R16 off-road rubber.

Joyful Christmas House Decorating Suggestions

Xmas time is an enchanting as well as wonderful time, as well as the method you decorate your house is one of one of the most effective ways to earn your vacation special. Plan ahead, visualize the way you want your home to look, and pay close attention to the "little things" to create your special memories. Xmas is a chaotic season to say the least; Christmas seems ahead earlier and also earlier each year as designs, advertising on TV and shops appear to load their stores before we also really feel fall pass. It's very easy to really feel under pressure in the cheery period and also whilst it's good to get in the festive spirit you don't want to develop unneeded stress on yourself. If you get on a spending plan, as a lot of us have the tendency to be, it's a terrific opportunity to expose your innovative side as well as enjoy installing the Christmas decorations that need not be a task.

Red and also eco-friendly are the basic Christmas shades, but you could use others as well. Gold, silver, along with floral patterned functions well for developing a cheery atmosphere. Unknot the bows as well as keep the bows properly after the vacation mores than to make sure that you can use them again for future celebrations. Even though it has actually become as a lot a nonreligious holiday as a religious one, Xmas just doesn't appear the very same without a nativity scene. Nonetheless, if your household is not Christian driven, you may feel a lot more comfy in missing this choice. For the rest people, there are a wide variety of interesting choices offered for a manger scene. Our scene has colorful statuaries of wise men, birthing armfuls of gifts for the Christ child, in addition to numerous pets loafing in reverent presents.


I've seen various other scenes that have angels and also plump cherubs flying about the manger, as well as maybe even Joseph lurking nearby. Thankfully, most home design businesses as well as professional house decorators are aware of the need for help in this job of embellishing your home. That is why there are many magazines as well as web sites committed to residence design which offer useful ideas which are distinct for the Christmas holiday. In fact, these professionals in house decor publish seasonal decoration material. Xmas holiday should have a unique magazine. A whole lot many sources also feed on the internet for one-of-a-kind suggestions for residence embellishing for Xmas period. All that continues to be is a run to the outlet store as well as acquiring whatever remains in style this year, yet individuals likewise favor to have their special decors at Christmas time. Home window tinting film can be a valuable option to your home for lots of purposes this holiday. Equally as it could safeguard your body from the harmful Ultra Violet rays that are available in via the windows, it could likewise maintain your office or home holiday decors. In some cases it is good to employ an expert window film company to do your Window Tinting. Here is a skilled tinting company that is a specialist in window tinting in Texas.


In all trims, the steering wheel offers manual tilt and telescopic adjustment. Accord models with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) have a traditional console-mounted lever-type shifter. In Accord models with the 10-speed automatic transmission, the conventional console-mounted shift lever is replaced with a fully electronic, shift-by-wire gear selector. Park, Neutral, and Drive are selected with the push of a button. The 2018 Accord features all-new instrumentation that blends a classic analog look with enhanced functionality. On the right is an analog speedometer with an electronically activated pointer. Just to the left is a color 7-inch (diagonal) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display. On its left side, the TFT has a depiction of an analog tachometer in most trims, or an analog power flow monitor in Hybrid models. The Accord Touring features a head-up display, which utilizes a concave mirror located behind the instrument panel to project a broad range of information on the lower portion of the windshield directly in front of the driver. The driver can adjust the location of the projection (up and down) or turn off the system via switches on the instrument panel.

Charging Electric Cars From Solar Energy

Google suggestions?Before vehicles were heavily relied on coal, fossil fuels and wind for power. Now, they are rapidly being replaced by electric vehicles and or plug-in hybrid electric cars. But these electric cars are still faced with the problem of energy availability because they rely on energy from biomass, hydro power and wind turbines for power generation. The abundance of solar radiation and its use as solar energy as a power source in driving these rapidly increasing electric cars is not only an important decision but also a necessary condition for eradication of environmental pollution. This study presents a model for charging electric cars from solar energy. Little focus on detailed technologies involved from solar energy capture to battery charging but our main focus is how to provide a modified charging parking lot in Karlskrona city-Sweden. With a surface area of 2850m2, we were able to choose 1STH-350-WH as the right PV modules. Based on the latitude of our design area, a computed 71 degrees angle positioning between solar panel and roof so as to maximise the surface area and optimise the solar irradiance gathering. Based on the power output of approximately116kW these PV modules generated, we further analysed and selected SDP 30KW inverter and Monocrystalline Silicon (1SolTech 1STH-350-WH (350W) solar modules. Also we provide different car charging method by choosing the SAE J1772 standard as one of specifications for dedicated vehicle charging and Clipper Creek HSC-40 as our option of charger. With the data of the generating solar energy every day, charging time, consuming power, we can estimate how many cars the system can handle to charge.


In addition, a newly positioned lambda probe makes a contribution toward impressively fulfilling the ULEV-2 emissions standard in the USA. The Volkswagen Touareg V6 FSI is 228 km/h fast and accelerates to 100 km/h in just 7.8 seconds. Entirely new to the Volkswagen Touareg programme is the V8 TDI with 4,134 cm3 displacement and 250 kW / 340 PS (at 4,000 rpm). The new V8 TDI, like the V6 TDI, has common rail direct injection. In this case, the injection pressure reaches 2,000 bar. At 9.1 l/100 km (equivalent to 239 g/km CO2), its combined fuel consumption is extremely good considering its enormous power and incredible maximum torque of 800 Newton-metres (between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm). By comparison: The retired previous version, a V10 TDI with 230 kW / 313 PS, had a combined fuel consumption of 11.9 litres - 2.8 litres more. In parallel, CO2 emissions are reduced by about 25 percent. This engine also has a specific thermal management system with switched water pump to shorten the warm-up phase.


The VW Touareg V8 TDI reaches a top speed of 242 km/h and accelerates to 100 km/h in only 5.8 seconds - like a sports car. A look at the functionality of the intuitively operated Stop-Start system for the V6 models is interesting: The driver approaches a red light with the Touareg and brakes it to a stop. At this moment the engine is automatically stopped. The text "Stop Start" now appears in the multifunction display. As soon as the light turns green, the driver releases the brake, the engine starts, the "Stop Start" indicator disappears, and the driver resumes driving. Regenerative braking helps to utilise the energy used in driving as ideally as possible. During coasting and braking phases - i.e. whenever the driver simply releases the accelerator pedal or decides to brake - the system elevates the voltage of the alternator (generator), and it is used to intensively charge the vehicle's battery.


Thanks to this alternator control as a function of engine load, and the optimally charged battery that results, the voltage of the alternator can be reduced when this is desirable - e.g. when accelerating or constantly maintaining a desired speed. The alternator may even be shut off entirely. This relieves the engine, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Regenerative braking requires a special software for energy management and modified engine controller software. In all Volkswagen Touareg versions, a new 8-speed automatic transmission is being used - an advanced development of the previous 6-speed automatic transmission. That makes this Volkswagen the first SUV in the world with this type of transmission. The automatic is designed for engine torques of up to 850 Newton-metres. Due to the two additional gear levels, a 20 percent larger gearing spread can be attained between 1st and 8th gears. This accomplishes two objectives: First, thanks to this larger spread, the engines operate with even greater efficiency over all speed ranges, making them both more fuel efficient and responsive.

The Claremont Serial Killings

This book is a literary documentary by investigative journalist Debi Marshall into the Claremont Serial Killings Police Investigation in Perth in Western Australia. To this day the killings which occurred in 1995/6 have never been solved. In 1995 three girls went missing in the wealthy, fairly serene and innocent, leafy outer western suburb of Perth, Claremont. Sarah Spiers, 18, went missing on 26 January 1996.On 9 June 1996, Jane Rimmer, 23 went missing and was found dead at Woolcott Road at Wellard on August 1996, she was a child care worker. Her body was found on 3 April, near a track in scrub off Pipidinny Road in Eglinton, a northern suburb of Perth.All spent a Friday or Saturday evening at both the Claremont Hotel and Club Bayview a nightclub close by. On 14 March 1997, Ciara Glennon, a 27-year-old lawyer went missing.They later left on their own nobody saw anything suspicious. A twist though is that CCTV in club Bayview picked up Jane Rimmer talking to a mystery man who has never been identified.


All the hundreds of other people in the club that night were identified, hunted down and interviewed. The mystery man was the last person to see her alive and police are still searching for him. It is thought at least three other girls were also possible victims of the Claremont Serial Killer. 22 year old Julie Cutler went missing in 1988 from the same area. Her Volkswagen car was bizarrely found floating in the surf at Cottesloe beach the day after she went missing, she was never seen again. 17 year old Hayley Maree Dodd went missing in Gin Gin on, a country town about 50 kilometres west of Perth in 1997, while hitching a ride on the road. Circumstances- Hayley made a telephone call at 10.30am on Thursday 29/7/1999 and was given a lift by a lady to the North West Road, Badgingarra, WA. She was then sighted by a motorist on the North West Road walking towards the farm where she was going at 11.35am on the same day. That was the last sighting of her. The book covers the controversial, and sometimes ridiculous methods the police used in their search for the Claremont serial killer.


Initially it was thought the girls were taken by a taxi driver, so the police interviewed and took DNA samples from every taxi driver in Perth. There were over 1500 of them. Police then had local businesses print, and donate wanted, and information posters in regard to the horrific crime, and had them handed out or posted all over Perth. This author owned a company called Eureka printing at the time and donated 10,000 posters. The state government then introduced a one million dollar reward, and the Macro Taskforce was formed. Headed by Detective Paul Ferguson, who later had to resign from this position, as he was charged with the rape of two prostitutes and later acquitted. He was later accused of stealing a dealers drugs, and again nothing happened to him. The next head of the task force was corrupt cop David Caphorn. Controversially and rather stupidly this taskforce invited members of the public to ring in and nominate suspects.

These mostly innocent people were then interviewed and DNA tested, in other words harassed. There were over 4000 suspects! I was later nominated as a suspect and interviewed and DNA tested only to be cleared and then 15 years later interviewed again and cleared in June, 2011 as were another 2000 innocent men! I am not happy about it. The ironic part about this is I was living in Perth at the time of course and had rung the police nominating a suspect of my own. A promiscuous, eccentric, lawyer mate of mine had started acting rather suspiciously. He had come to my home at 4 am one morning and broke down crying drunk in front of my wife and I, claiming he had killed somebody, but when questioned further he would not elaborate. The matter was forgotten until much later, when this bloke’s wife informed me that he had been at Club Bayview and the Claremont Hotel the nights all three girls went missing. He also had in his possession a replica 9mm Beretta which I had lent him.

Blueprints For A Magnetic Generator

The internet is full of people making claims about the fantastic and often unbelievable. The idea of creating a device that can power your home seems to be close to that level. The truth is that this is a genii that has made it out of the bottle many years ago. His notes are rather obscure and difficult to follow if you are able to find them at all. Today if you want blueprints for a magnetic generator then they are available in easy to follow steps. Soon you can be building your first table top model, which will be able to amaze as it powers a light bulb without needing a battery or being plugged into an outlet. From there you can scale up, it will take some work and a little bit of tinkering though the reward can be powering your home for years to come without the need for a power bill. The trick is in the permanent magnet configuration, it has been found that when you create an array of permanent magnets in just the right configuration then you end up with an excess of energy being produced. Which can then be harnessed as electrical energy or mechanical energy depending upon how you choose to use it. If you are ready to power your home without needing to pay another power bill then download a copy of the e-book blueprints for a magnetic generator. This site will provide you with all the information you need to build your electricity generator.

One of the most favorite is the 2005 Honda Civic sedan. The civics are well liked because they are easy to drive and they are quiet. It is probably the most favorite used car on the market currently and part of the reason for this besides being really well liked is because it is so fuel-efficient. In the economy we are in this is a very important factor. Another favorite is the 2007 Ford 500 SEL. The Ford 500 was not really around that long because it was replaced with the Taurus. This was not because of poor quality or things wrong with it. Many people really do not care for the look of it but it is very spacious reliable and safe. It has great low mileage and these are one of the used cars that you can find really inexpensive. Then of course, there is the 2006 Infiniti G. 35 sedan.

2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport And Clubsport S At The Nurburgring, Germany

Seven minutes 49 seconds. Seven minutes 49 seconds. Is that not a staggering feat? For a civilised four-cylinder hatchback (albeit offered solely in three-door, two-seat format) with genuine everyday usability, it’s nothing less than mind bending. The fact that its pricing in Europe puts it in the same ballpark as the Golf R only adds to the seeming incongruity of the ‘S’. Now the bad news: while we’re destined to get 700 examples of the lesser ‘regular’ Clubsport in the Middle East, the full-house ‘S’ is a non-starter in our market. There are just 400 units of the latter set to roll out of the factory, with the majority of these earmarked for Germany and the UK. That said, this DriveArabia scribe did have the opportunity to get some wheel time in the car and that, too, at the Nordschleife, with Benny Leuchter -- the chap who set the 7:49.21 benchmark -- serving as a pace-maker. What about install an Android Car Gps? A bit of background about the Clubsport S: development first started in July, 2013, initially with just the VW-specification Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slick tyres mounted on a regular Golf GTI Performance Pack.


Three months later, a prototype with an uprated powerplant and the first suspension tweaks hit the ‘Ring. In May 2014, an evolution with more suspension revisions and the first aero package (comprising a large rear wing) was rolled out, but this version had so much downforce that straight-line speed was severely compromised.
