Tips to Choosing the Right Custom Car Spoilers Best Fit for Your Car

Spoilers are the wing like attachment fitted to the rear end, mounted on top of the trunk or attached just under the bumper in the front.
Many have a misconception that spoilers are only used to modify the shape of their cars so that it may look hot hot and sporty but they fail to realize that
spoilers do have some aerodynamic implications.Spoilers "spoil" any unfavourable air movement which comes in contact with the car during high speeds hence
the name "spoiler"


Many racing cars and other high performance sports cars have car spoilers mounted on them. Copying this sporty look, more and more passenger vehicles are
also using spoilers. Of course, a sleek and well-kept look not only makes the car look good, it also boosts its resale value.
But do not confuse spoilers with car ‘wings’ which basically produce down force when air passes around them.


Kinds Of Spoilers Available: Different kinds of spoilers are available in the market based on their shapes designs and purpose
You have high hooped spoilers, Lip spoilers and supra styled spoilers, to mention a few. You can also buy custom car spoilers, designed in a variety of styles and colors.
Most of these spoilers, regardless of their looks, are made of lightweight materials like fiberglass or polyurethane. These materials are extremely durable and
highly flexible, so they will not crack or sag. High impact spoilers are made
from a combination of materials, which show high resistance to temperature and impact. Most people go for unpainted spoilersso that give a colour combination of their own best suited for their cars.

Design: When choosing for spoilers donot go only for design and sporty looks. Car spoilers actually changes the direction of the passing air
and break the flow of air that comes into contact with the body of the car. Thus stabilising the car on the road because spoilers reduce the lift and
increase the traction of the car. Thus, there is maximum contact between the tire and the road. This allows your car to brake, turn and speed up with greater
stability. A good car spoiler is one that is designed to reduce lift and increase
traction.So keep in mind the design of the spoiler when you buy them.

Speed: As i said spoilers have some aerodynamic implications. Aerodynamic drag increases as the car accelerates. Spoilers that are designed for slow
speeds will lead to more drag when the car travels at high speed. In the same way, spoilers for speedy cars are not quite effective when the car is moving
slowly. So, go for the right make of spoiler for your speed. Again, looks and design aren’t everything!

Since every car has a certain need to fulfill, it is highly recommended that you buy custom car spoilers. That way, you can select just the right design,
style, color and make you want. Many online shops have extensive collections of custom car spoilers. You can easily choose one according to your preferences
and needs.

Rossi menang di belanda win at dutch Land

Valentino Rossi wins again duel with fellow Yamaha Jorge Lorenzo. The Italy that eventually became one of the foremost finis in Dutch MotoGP.

Merampungkan 26 lap race at the Assen circuit on Saturday (27/6/2009), Rossi finis step in the sequence are followed by Lorenzo and Casey Stoner on a Ducati.

These results repeat what happened in the Catalunya MotoGP two weekends back. However, the usual grab victory after Rossi duel with Lorenzo to the last bend.

Rossi start from the pole appear relatively dominant. Had lost their position leads, The Doctor merebutnya more in the second lap and mempertahankannya success dikibarkan until the chequered flag.

This result makes Rossi led for a while Klasemen MotoGP drivers alone with 131 points. Following behind are Lorenzo with 126 numbers and 122 numbers with Stoner.

Stoner and Hayden Ready for Race

Ducati Marlboro Team riders Casey Stoner and Nicky Hayden are both steeling themselves for a tough battle around the legendary TT circuit at Assen tomorrow after qualifying on 4th and 13th on the grid for the seventh round of the MotoGP World Championship.

Stoner was in impressive form on race tyres, lapping in the low 1’37 mark that looks like being a pace capable of challenging for victory in tomorrow’s race, although when he switched to softer tyres for an assault on the grid positions he was held up by a host of slower riders on track. Hayden was seventh fastest in this morning’s final free practice and despite making a couple of minor wrong turns with his set-up in the afternoon, the American was only 0.010 seconds from a fourth row star.

CASEY STONER (Ducati Marlboro Team) 4th (1’36.633):

"Pretty much all weekend we’ve been very fast on race tyres and even though we’re normally good for a single qualifying lap on a soft tyre we’ve had a few issues here. With my second soft tyre I was up out of the seat a couple of times but we changed it and the next one was a lot better. Unfortunately a couple of riders got in my way, waiting for a two in a dangerous and fast part of the track, which obviously cost me time but could have cost me a whole lot more if I had crashed. It is a frustrating situation which seems to be happening more and more in MotoGP and it is about time something was done to stop it. Thankfully I’m starting from fourth on the grid, which I am fine with because I can still challenge at the front from there and with the times we set today there is no reason not to be confident."

NICKY HAYDEN – (Ducati Marlboro Team) 13th (1’37.759):

“Unfortunately qualifying is not our strong point at the moment but we made some improvements with the bike in free practice this morning. We changed the transmission, which helped a bit, and made a few more tweaks that made the general feeling of the bike a bit better but for the afternoon we tried some stuff that didn’t work so well. We had to go back to what we had this morning and I was only able to go a little bit faster, which is why the qualifying position isn’t great. The cooler track today made it hard to get heat into the left-hand side of the tyre. You don’t get good balance with the single compound tyres around here, for me at least, the right side is really good but it’s hard to get heat into the left. We’ll see what the weather brings, obviously we could do with it being nice and hot, line up and see what we got!”

Audi A5 sportback

This elegant vehicle is really a hatchback. So it's for folks that want the 4-door coupe look but with more practicality. Well, in reality it is for people that can't quite stretch the extra 5k€ or so that the original Mercedes CLS costs. But for a Audi copy it looks really nice.

Terminologies to Help The Racers

Here are some drag racing terms so you “racers” out there aren’t

left scratching your heads. A little knowledge goes a long, long

way my friends.



Air foil: acts as a stabilizer creating that much needed down
force for better traction and control


Bang the blower: an explosion inside the supercharger caused by a flame from the
combustion process accidentally re-entering the supercharger,
where fuel and air are present. Generally caused by a stuck or
broken intake valve that normally would be closed during the
combustion sequence.


Breakout:Used only in handicap racing, “breakout” refers to a
contestant running quicker than he or she “dialed” his or her
vehicle (predicted how quick it would run). Unless the opponent
commits a more serious foul (e.g., red-lights, crosses the
centerline, or fails a post-race inspection), the driver who
breaks out loses. If both drivers break out, the one who runs
closest to his or her dial is the winner.


Burned Piston: When a cylinder runs lean (too much air in the air
-to-fuel mixture) and excessive heat burns or melts the piston.


Burnout: spinning the rear tires in water to heat and clean them
prior to a run for better traction. A burnout precedes every run.


Christmas Tree: Also called the Tree, it is the noticeable
electronic starting device between the lanes on the starting line.
It displays a calibrated-light countdown for each driver.


Clutch Can: The bell-shaped housing, or bellhousing, used to
encase the clutch and flywheel.


Clutch Lockup: The progression of clutch-disc engagement
controlled by an air-timer management system.


Deep stage: to roll a few inches farther into the beams after
staging, which causes the pre-stage lights to go out. In that
position, a driver is closer to the finish line but dangerously
close to a foul start.



Dial under: when drivers in Super Stock and Stock (handicap
categories) select an elapsed time quicker than the national
index. Drivers select a dial-under, or e.t., that they think their
cars will run based on previous performance. The breakout rule is
in effect.



Diaper: an absorbent blanket made from ballistic material, often
Kevlar, that surrounds the oil pan to contain oil and parts in
case of an engine explosion; required for Top Fuel, Funny Car, Top
Alcohol Dragster, and Top Alcohol Funny Car.



Dropped cylinder: when a cylinder runs too rich (too much fuel in
the air/fuel mixture) and prevents the spark plug(s) from firing.


Elapsed time: the time it takes a vehicle to travel from the
starting line to the finish line. Also called e.t.


Eliminations: After qualifying, vehicles race two at a time,
resulting in one winner from each pair. Winners continue in
tournament-style competition until one remains.



Foul start: indicated by a red light on the Christmas Tree when a
car has left the starting line before the green light, or starting
signal.



Full Tree: used in Competition, Super Stock, and Stock, for which
a handicap starting system is used to equalize competition. The
three amber bulbs on the Christmas Tree flash consecutively five-
tenths of a second apart, followed five-tenths later by the green
starting light. A perfect reaction time on a full Tree is .500.



Header(s): a fine-tuned exhaust system that routes exhaust from
the engine; replaces conventional exhaust manifolds.


Hemi: A Hemi engine has a hemispherical shaped cylinder-head
combustion chamber, like a ball cut in half.


Holeshot: when a driver reacts quicker to the Christmas Tree to
win a race against an opponent with a quicker e.t.


Hydraulic: when a cylinder fills with too much fuel, thus
prohibiting compression by the cylinder and causing a mechanical
malfunction, usually an explosive one


Index: the expected performance for vehicles in a class as
assigned by NHRA. It allows various classes of cars in the same
category to race together competitively.


Interval timers: part of a secondary timing system that records
elapsed times, primarily for the racers’ benefit, at 60, 330, 660,
and 1,000 feet.


Methanol: pure methyl alcohol produced by synthesis; used in Top
Alcohol Dragsters and Top Alcohol Funny Cars.



Nitromethane: Produced specifically as a fuel for drag racing, it
is the result of a chemical reaction between nitric acid and
propane.



Pre-stage: to position the front wheels about seven inches behind
the starting line so the small yellow lights atop that driver’s
side of the Christmas Tree are glowing. The next step is to stage
and be ready to race.



Pro Tree: used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock
Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Super
Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street, which feature heads-up
competition. All three large amber lights on the Christmas Tree
flash simultaneously, followed four-tenths of a second later by
the green starting light.



Reaction time: the time it takes a driver to react to the green
starting light on the Christmas Tree, measured in thousandths of a
second. The reaction-time counter begins when the last amber light
flashes on the Tree and stops when the vehicle clears the stage
beam.



Sixty-foot time: the time it takes a vehicle to cover the first 60
feet of the racetrack. It is the most accurate measure of the
launch from the starting line and in most cases determines how
quick the rest of the run will be.



Slider clutch: a multi-disc clutch designed to slip until a
predetermined rpm is reached; decreases shock load to the drive
wheels.



Speed trap: the final 66 feet to the finish line where speed is
recorded.


Stage: to position the front wheels right on the starting line so
the small yellow lights below the pre-stage lights are glowing.
Once both drivers are staged, the calibrated countdown (see
Christmas Tree) may begin.



Supercharger: a crank-driven air/fuel-mixture compressor also
called a blower. It increases atmospheric pressure in the engine
to produce more horsepower.



Turbocharger: an exhaust-driven intake air compressor (see
supercharger).



Wedge: an engine with a combustion chamber resembling a wedge in
shape.



Weight transfer: critical to traction. Vehicles are set up to
provide a desired weight transfer to the rear wheels. Upon
acceleration, the front wheels lift and the weight shifts to the
rear wheels, which makes them less likely to spin.



Wheelie bar(s): used to prevent excessive front-wheel lift.
Okay, now that some knowledge have been imparted on you jokers out
there you can walk away smugly and be confident knowing that you
actually know more about your car and the sport. Feels good
doesn’t it? So the nest time somebody opens up a conversation
about drag racing, you can actually participate intelligently.
Word up!

2010 Opel Zafira

The image below shows a possible interpretation of the next Opel Zafira. It looks too much like a station but then maybe Opel goes for a lower MPV... don't think so.

One interesting bit is the front design, a new boomerang concept presented in the Insignia-Concept and series production Insignia OPC. It looks really nice so one wonders why it is not available in the regular Insignia and new Astra... these cars have a really bland front design. Maybe one can expect in future restylings to see that boomerang feature spread to the rest of the Opel range.

MAKE YOUR ENGINE PERFORM MORE EFFECIENTLY

Increase displacement - More displacement means more power because you can burn more gas during each revolution of the engine. You can increase displacement by making the cylinders bigger or by adding more cylinders. 12 cylinders seems to be the practical limit.


Increase the compression ratio - Higher compression ratios produce more power, up to a point. The more you compress the air/fuel mixture, however, the more likely it is to spontaneously burst into flame (prior to the spark plug igniting it). Higher octane gasolines prevent this sort of early combustion. That is why high-performance cars generally need high octane gasoline - their engines are using higher compression ratios to get more power.

Stuff more into each cylinder - If you can cram more air (and therefore fuel) into a cylinder of a given size, you can get more power from the cylinder (in the same way that you would by increasing the size of the cylinder). Turbo chargers and super chargers pressurize the incoming air to effectively cram more air into a cylinder.

Cool the incoming air - Compressing air raises its temperature. You would like to have the coolest air possible in the cylinder because the hotter the air is the less it will expand when combustion takes place. Therefore many turbo charged and super charged cars have an intercooler. An intercooler is a special radiator through which the compressed air passes to cool it off before it enters the cylinder.

Let air come in more easily - As a piston moves down in the intake stroke, air resistance can rob power from the engine. Air resistance can be lessened dramatically by putting two intake valves in each cylinder. Some newer cars are also using polished intake manifolds to eliminate air resistance there. Bigger air filters can also improve air flow.

Let exhaust exit more easily - If air resistance makes it hard for exhaust to exit a cylinder, it robs the engine of power. Air resistance can be lessened by adding a second exhaust valve to each cylinder (a car with 2 intake and 2 exhaust values has 4 valves per cylinder, which improves performance - when you hear a car ad tell you the car has 4 cylinders and 16 valves, what the ad is saying is that the engine has four valves per cylinder). If the exhaust pipe is too small or the muffler has a lot of air resistance then this can cause back-pressure which has the same effect. High-performance exhaust systems use headers, big tail pipes and free-flowing mufflers to eliminate back-pressure in the exhaust system. When you hear that a car has "Dual Exhaust", the goal is to improve the flow of exhaust by having two exhaust pipes instead of one.

Make everything lighter - Lightweight parts help the engine perform better. Each time a piston changes direction it uses up energy to stop the travel in one direction and start it in another. The lighter the piston, the less energy it takes.

Inject the fuel - Fuel injection allows very precise metering of fuel to each cylinder. This improves performance and fuel economy.

Make everything lighter - Lightweight parts help the engine perform better. Each time a piston changes direction it uses up energy to stop the travel in one direction and start it in another. The lighter the piston, the less energy it takes.

Inject the fuel - Fuel injection allows very precise metering of fuel to each cylinder. This improves performance and fuel economy.

2011 Peugeot 408

The image below is from L'Auto-Journal and it is consistent with information from other sources. It seems the design of the 408 is finally frozen after some last minute changes by Peugeot's new design boss. And from the look of things and his latest designs at Citroen it seems that Peugeot now needs less help than before.

Inside the new car should look really nice judging be recent Peugeot interiors. The French brand has managed to apply some Audi magic in making interiors look really nice in the photograph and first impression. The fact that real quality is or not top standard does not seem to bother Audi customers so Peugeot is not worried also.

2009 Lincoln MKX AWD

I don't mind the styling of the Lincoln MKX and its corporate cousin, the Ford Edge, but the MKX doesn't really look like I expect a Lincoln to look. Instead, I see it simply as an Edge in fancy eveningwear. I think part of the problem is that, when the MXK was created, Lincoln's renaissance was just in its infancy. And even though there have been lots of new products, the brand has lacked a coherent design language until, arguably, this year. Styling cues are now shared across the MKS sedan, the MKZ sedan, the upcoming MKT seven-seat crossover, and even the C concept from this year's Detroit auto show, but the MKX is the odd man out.The MXK does share some of its interior design themes with another Lincoln, though, and that would be the big Navigator SUV. Both vehicles sport symmetrical, dual-cockpit-style instrument panels with squared gauges that are an homage to the legendary Continentals. The dashboard is another retro throwback, because it feels nearly as hard as the stamped-steel panels used in the 1960s. Ford used a slightly softer plastic on the upper region of the center stack, which is nice, but then chose a harder, sharply edged plastic right where you rest your kneecap.The MKX certainly is comfortable to drive, however. Although the 3.5-liter V-6 is a bit coarse at higher revs, it moves the MKX along fairly well, and the six-speed automatic shifts quite smoothly. The three inches of snow I trekked through one morning never posed a problem, although it's not terribly difficult to break loose the rear axle. Stability control, of course, is standard.All in all, the MXK is a competent luxury crossover, but I can't say the Lincoln does anything or offers anything that a fully loaded Edge doesn't. Put me in an Edge Sport with Ford's Sync connectivity system, and I'd be just as happy.

2008 Edo Competition Lamborghini Gallardo SLE

With the modified Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera edo competition Motorsport has now added a second high-profile Italian racer to its tuning program after the Murciélago LP 640. Like its bigger brother, this sports car with the bull in its logo excels through its highlighted racing genes and more aggressive appearance after being modified at edo competition.

The most remarkable feature is the sensational acceleration. edo competition achieves these figures thanks to the installation of a massive air box, high flow catalytic converters which are a completely new design and a recalibration of the engine electronics. All components together raise the power output to 560 hp (411 kW) at 8,250 rpm. The power increase of 30 hp / 22 kW boosts the top speed by about 6 km/h (4 mph) to 320 km/h (199 mph). Another highlight: The sound volume of the modified exhaust system can be adjusted via remote.


The sporty concept of the edo Gallardo Superleggera is rounded off with 19“ three-piece racing wheels with an artificially-aged cast center-section, hand-polished outer rims and 39 stainless steel screws.

The front wheels are shod in stock-sized or (on request) 245/35 ZR 19 rubber while 305/30 ZR 19 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires are used on the rear axle. With this solution edo competition enables its customers to reuse the factory tires on their new wheels.

edo competition treats the masculine stance of the Gallardo Superleggera to an additional testosterone injection by lowering the suspension by a good 15 mm and through the use of corner-weighting. With these upgrades, the Lambo sticks to the road so firmly and unflappably that it would take an earthquake to upset its poise.

Verdict from the July 2008 Autobild comparison test „Edo Gallardo / MTM R8“: „The edo Gallardo Superleggera is the more harmonic and better balanced car. Very quick, great to control and of the finest quality in all aspects”!

Engine V10
Power 560 hp / (411 kW) at 8250 rpm
Max. torque 540 Nm (398 ft-lb) at 6800 rpm

Performance
Top speed est. 320km/h (199 mph)
0 – 100 km/h (0 – 62 mph) 3.7 s

2006 Lamborghini Gallardo tunned by Hamann

HAMANN MOTORSPORT is now crowning its extensive tuning suite for the Lamborghini Gallardo. This tuning specialist from Laupheim, Germany, is giving the 520 bhp racing car something that was omitted at the factory. A feature that is inextricably linked with the classic Countach and the more recent Diablo and Murciélago models. Without further ado, the HAMANN engineers are equipping this high-speed muscle car with wing doors.

HAMANN is relying on an inhouse wing door construction to create a stable system without being too flashy. The hinges of the HAMANN wing door conversion can only just be seen, without appearing retrofitted. This ensures that the Gallardo still cuts a fine figure when getting in and out.

As one might expect, such finesse calls for a number of measures. In view of the end result, however, they can be regarded as extremely minimal. To complete the conversion, all that remains to be done is to blend in the paintwork along the hinges and the internal folding of the doors. The conversion is carried out at HAMANN and takes about a week.

The HAMANN wing doors are characterised by the fact that they open upwards at an angle. Drivers who opt for this conversion will never want to be without this wow factor! Needless to say, HAMANN also offers conversions for the Spyder version and older 500 bhp models.

In addition to the wing doors for the Gallardo, HAMANN also offers a whole range of tuning options for this model - in the form of aerodynamic components, light alloy wheels, suspension systems and luxurious interior equipment packages.

By the way, BMW 6 Series or Ferrari F430 owners who are thirsting for wing doors, also have something to look forward to. HAMANN is currently working on a conversion kit for these two models and their soft-top variants Cabrio and Spider.

2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe Motorsport Version

Unveiling in Geneva: On the occasion of the Automobilsalon, Prof Dr Burkhard Göschel, BMW Group Board Member Purchasing and Development, introduced a new racing car for customer motor racing. The Motorsport Version of the BMW Z4 M Coupé, which has already made a big impression as a production model, is the first two-seater BMW Motorsport offers for customer teams. When it came to the development, BMW faced a huge challenge: The car had to have what is needed to race successfully on the world’s most demanding and spectacular racetrack, the Nürburgring’s famous Nordschleife. The new motorsport coupé can be used by private BMW customer teams in the German Endurance Championship and in the Nürburgring 24-Hour Race.
The power unit of the beefy coupe is a BMW Motorsport designed 3.2-litre in-line 6-cylinder engine delivering about 400bhp, with the suspension area in particular benefiting from the knowledge gained from the successful BMW M3 GTR project.

With its varied component ranges, BMW Motorsport and BMW Racing Parts Distribution offer customer teams a new technology platform for use in many miscellaneous international racing and club sport series, with the Nordschleife enthusiasts not being the only interested party, as the brawny coupe also represents the perfect car for use in the Belgian Belcar series and other, non-European, endurance series.

The kit can be ordered from May 2006 at BMW Motorsport and will be available for an estimated € 250,000 (plus VAT).(gotbroken)
