What Is An Air Filter?

Stigza — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:51:37 GMT

An air filter is an important part of a car's intake system. An engine needs an exact air fuel mixture in order to run right, and all of the air enters the system first through the air filter. The air filter's purpose is to filter out dirt, pollen, mold and other foreign particles in the air, preventing them from possibly damaging the engine. An air filter is generally a paper-like or fibrous material, folded accordion-style and arranged on a plastic or metal frame to fit in your car's air box. On todays cars and trucks the air box is connected to the intake manifold by a large plastic tube. An air filter can also be made out of a cotton- or fabric-like material, which is then oiled in order to increase airflow through the filter.

18 Car Pile Up

Stigza — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:37:42 GMT

GAINESVILLE, Florida. a 18 Car Pile-Up south of Gainesville on both sides of Interstate 75, which had been closed for a time before the accidents because of the mixture of fog and heavy smoke from a brush fire that may have been intentionally set. Some cars and trucks burst into flames, drivers were instantly blinded. At least 10 people were killed. When rescuers first arrived, they could only listen for screams and moans because the poor visibility made it difficult to find victims in wreckage. Cars appeared to have smashed into the Tractor Trailers and some cars were crushed beneath them.

The fire had burned 62 acres and was contained but still burning Sunday. Four years ago, heavy fog and smoke were blamed for another serious crash. In January 2008, four people were killed and 38 injured in a series of similar crashes on Interstate 4 between Orlando and Tampa, about 125 miles south of Sunday's crash. More than 70 vehicles were involved in those crashes, including one pileup that involved 40 vehicles.

Motor Vehicle Theft

Stigza — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:05:24 GMT

Motor Vehicle Theft also called Grand Theft Auto is a big business. Nationwide in the US in 2005, there were an estimated 1.2 million motor vehicle thefts estimated at $7.6 billion. Most frequently stolen vehicles in th U.S. include Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Acura Integra, Jeep Cherokee and Cadillac Escalade.

Most Common used tools

Slide hammer puller to break into the door locks and the cylinder lock.
Multimeters or a test light to find the source of the battery
Spare wires and/or a screwdriver to connect the battery source to the ignition and starter wires
Slim Jim which slips between the car window and car frame and to open the lock behind the window.
Many keyless ignition/lock cars have weak or no cryptographic protection of the unlock signal. Proof-of-concept "thefts" of top-of-the-line luxury cars have been demonstrated by academic researchers using commercially available tools such as RFID microreaders.

There are various methods of prevention to reduce the likelihood of a vehicle getting stolen.

Immobilisers, allowing the vehicle to start only if a key containing the correct chip is present in the ignition.
Car alarm systems that are triggered if a breaking and entry into the vehicle occurs
Microdot identification tags which allow individual parts of a vehicle to be identified
Killswitch circuits are designed to frustrate or slow down the efforts of a determined car thief. Killswitches are often located between crucial parts of the starting system, between the battery source and the coil, or the fuel pump. A car cannot start without first flipping these killswitches to closed position. Savvy car owners hide these killswitches in obscured areas, under the dashboard, beneath the seat, behind a chair, etc.
Signage on windows warning of the presence of other deterrents, sometimes in absence of the actual deterrents.
VIN etching The vehicles VIN number is put on parts most stolen and sold. (Hood,Fenders,Doors,Window,Bumpers,and Tailgate/Liftgate/Trunk)

Pontiac Fiero GT

Stigza — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT

The Pontiac Fiero a sports car that was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1984 to 1988. The Fiero meaning "proud" in Italian. The Fiero was a two-seater mid engined car. The first and only mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S. manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as plastic body panels were radical for its time. The Fiero was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1984. The 1984 Fiero was the Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500. 370,168 Fieros were produced in the five years.

Already selling the Chevrolet Corvette, General Motors management and accountants were opposed to investing in a second two-seater sports car. But in 1979, during the oil crisis, management saw a market opportunity for a fuel-efficient sporty commuter car, and design work on the Fiero commenced. To this end, it was fitted with a fuel efficient version of GM's 2.5 L four-cylinder engine capable of 27 mpg in the city and 40 mpg highway. A mid-engine layout was chosen as a way to reduce both aerodynamic drag and vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency, and also for its handling, traction, and braking benefits. The sports car potential of the mid-engine layout was not fully realized when the Fiero debuted. In line with its market position, the tires, brakes, and some suspension components were carried over from other GM cars

By 1985, the oil crisis was a thing of the past and demand developed for a Fiero having more engine power and better sports car performance. Pontiac responded by introducing the GT model which included upgraded suspension tuning, wider tires, and a 143 horsepower V6 engine 43 horsepower more than the base four-cylinder. In 1986, the GT model was restyled to look even more sleek. Officially, production ended because of an internal GM forecast of insufficient future profits due to an expected decrease in overall demand for two-seater sports cars, however this decision was commensurate with heavy media coverage of Fiero engine fires. GM's forecast may have been a year premature, as the actual sales in 1988 were lower than prior years but still double the forecast.
