Marketed before the new Focus, Ford motor Indonesia (FMI) invites journalists to try the performance of the car. FMI Focus provides 6 units, consisting of 2 units of sedan, motorized Focus Ghia petrol and 2.0 liter 4 units Hatchback. Focus Hatchback consisting of 2 units of 2.0 liter gasoline (Comfort and Sport) and 2 units of 2.0 liter diesel.
In addition mengemudikannya directly on the road, journalists also were given the opportunity to try a variety of performance abilities Focus, among others, acceleration 0-100 km / hour, the braking 80-0 km / h, slalom, ESP test, and play the Sentul circuit in the wet road surface conditions .
Nevertheless, because of several variants, testing can not be done to compare between variants completely. To test the brake, slalom, which is used only ESP Focus diesel.
To acceleration, directly compared the ability Focus Hatchback 2.0 liter gasoline Sport vs Diesel.
Acceleration
By using the same transmission otomatik, the same engine capacity, Focus more brave than diesel fuel. On average, acceleration 0-100 km / hour from gasoline Sport Focus: about 13 seconds. While TDCi Diesel or 10 seconds. Even have to reach 9.58 seconds.
Rem
Tests using the Focus TDCi. To 80-0 km distance, braking distance according to the best Ford is 25 meters. When dites by journalists who have reached 18.90 meters. Interesting, with ABS, even though they repeatedly used for braking, tire fixed mulus. There are no symptoms experienced kebotakan pda parts. Pedal vibration when the car is almost not felt direm.
Slalom & field
Test ESP (electronic stability program) conducted on the speed of 60 km / hr with a wet road surface conditions. The car was nimble and responsive under the command setirnya drivers. Apparently all reporters can run tests without having to throw the cone as a sign for berkelit to the right and left.
Once tried to slalom, Focus is able to prove kelincahannya. Despite the watwan not peslalom professional, was able berzig well-zag between the cone.
Additional information, ESP is used only on the TDCi Sport.
'Hot Lap'
Accident, when the ability to turn Kompas.com test various aspects of work for 4 cars lap, light rain came down. At the speed of 80 km / hour, the car is so easy to turn with no symptoms discard. While the road surface wet. Drivers work more easily because drivers do not need to move the teeth.
Position of director
Feel comfortable sitting position. Column can dinaik-down so that drivers can obtain maximum comfort. Hand can easily reach the wheel. So also with the gas pedal, and brake pedal.
Hand brake, the transmission lever can be reached and operated easily. Vision to the front, side and rear wide.
For passengers
Sitting as a passenger, both in front and behind, felt very comfortable through various road conditions.
Conclusion
For stability, the Ford Focus WRC also trusted as indeed irrefutable. No less interesting, Focus TDCi Diesel or have the capability to more powerful acceleration.
For diesel engine, Ford must provide more incentive to the consumer because there are many common assumes, diesel engines and less jaded quickly from gasoline engines. They also consider, diesel engine is less comfortable.
Among the variants Focus, diesel versions have several advantages compared to gasoline engines. The first acceleration, the diesel yield torsi far greater and is in the lower rounds. This is very fitting for a street jammed and the rise and many derivative. Not less pentuing, fuel consumption, more economical.
Focus diesel engine performance is also okay! When the machine is turned on in the morning hours at a temperature of 21 degrees celsius, engine life can be fast and does not produce the sound is much more subtle than past diesel engines. This is the severity of the present diesel engine using common rail technology.
Compared with gasoline engines, engine a bit more rough. Vibration is also larger. However, with a reducer system, the vibration in the body does not feel so. Even if the bonnet is closed, if not, can dikira gasoline engines.
That is the value added to the Ford Focus diesel engine. Although the price of fuel is used more expensive than gasoline (PERTAMAX Super or Shell), a total cost of fuel so much cheaper. Because the more economical, but also friendly to the environment.
Unfortunately, we can not get the price difference between diesel versus petrol Focus. So the version that has ESP and who do not. Of course, the car plant, especially the diesel common rail technology, plus a variable turbo-more expensive. If the price difference is discovered, can also be counted, when the value of gas obtained from the engine optimally. Whether one or two years?
No less interesting, the higher the frequency of car use, the diesel engine to provide quick profits, despite the initial investment should be spent more expensive because the price is higher than gasoline, the car plant.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSI), as the sole agent of the holder of Suzuki cars in India, introduced the Ritz, on Tuesday (14 / 4). Second-generation cars K-Series is motorized gasoline. City car models to meet this new demand will drive the familiar with the environment and economical fuel.
Sedan mengusung a 1197 cc engine is made from aluminum material. The sales MSI said that the Suzuki factory is located north of the city Gurgaon call the kitchen pacunya "K12M".
As the AP news agency quoted, engine "K12M" this as a continuation of the mirror to focus the company long-term strategy in expanding factory capacity and introduce new technology.
This new engine is designed in accordance with the conditions in India to lift the "Ritz", premiun Hatchback introduced a new Maruti Suzuki. Before Ritz, Maruti has a 54.2 percent share in Suzuki, years ago has introduced the A-Star, first-generation K-Series engine with K10B.
This is the most desirable consumer car automotive world. Most luxurious, most expensive, and snatch the title as well as four in the four most popular classes. Lamborghini Galardo, become the most popular car in the class coupes, luxury, convertible, and of course the sport sedan class. Lamborghini Galardo even occupied one and two ranking in almost every class. Lamborghini Galardo 2008 but still reach the top. Bugatty Veyron, luxury sport sedan and other expensive terpaut far down in the saloon made famous manufacturer in Italy this.

Let's see the distinctive Lamborghini Galardo. From the engine, using the standard version of 5.0 liter V10 engine with a number of cylinder units 10 and 40 valves. Electronic injection use Sequential Electronic Fuel Injected with axis can ganda (DOHC). Machines placed in the back of the hood. Standard non-turbo engine is only producing 530 HP power. Compare it with a sedan on the streets of our city that is only around 75-150 HP. Itupun fast enough. Lamborghini Galardo with how the power of it? Of course, this can drive the car a sensation unimaginable.
Of course the engine to generate power consumption of the fuel is not the size. But just know, the fuel consumption of one liter car for four to five kilometers. However, on the road a bit more sparingly, one liter of fuel can lead to 8 kilometers. Herannya floatation tank fuel storage for small car serakus this. Only with a 45 liter only, so that the distance power of the car is only around 250 km of gas only once the content.
Nothing strange in the other parts for this car sehebat. To four-wheel disc brakes installed, but the size is big enough according to the ability to stop the pace car sekencang Lamborghini Galardo this. To the four wheels are connected to six automatic transmission acceleration, so the car does not slip easily when dipacu. Radial tires standard pack velg 19 inch. Wow this car is really designed for two passengers, alias sport sedan.
Ability "attached" to the other increases as wheel base, or distance pijak car that is big enough, ie, 100.8 inch. Nan luxurious interior with sporty cirri at once futuristic. All system control and rudder terpacak with electronic canggihnya. Steel framework of a strong and ready mengemankan six airbag driver and passenger when the crash occurred. Not typically made Italian leather that is strong and luxurious. The interior is also getting large numbers in support of Lamborghini's most popular car Galardao be along this year.
Now you want to know the price is not it? Default version only reached $ 200 thousand per unit, with the plus version for $ 230 thousand, or around Rp 2.2 billion rupiah. When you go to Indonesia with the luxury car tax at around 200 percent, plus benefits importers, approaching the price of Rp 10 billion. Almost a similar price of used Boeing 737-200 that can still be operated for the business sector in the airlines
There is something different that will be present in most automotive exhibition event
in the prestigious The 17th Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS 2009).
For only when earlier IIMS showcase innovation in the car four or more, in the event this year is also IIMS 2009 will display different stand from the two-wheel manufacturer in Indonesia. Usually for motor exhibited a special place in Jakarta Motorcycle Show.
Brand motor that ensure self will participate brisk car exhibition
are Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Bajaj, Piaggio and Kawasaki.
"There is a different brand motor IIMS in the event this time as a form of heating with the exhibition we will do officially later in 2010," said Gaikindo Chairman Bambang Trisulo press conference in 2009 in IIMS Blitz Megaplex, Grand Indonesia, Jalan MH Thamrin, Jakarta.
According to Bambang, bersatunya both the automotive industry is highly needed as stimulus to the industrial market which is currently languishing-lesunya.
And participation brand motor that would like to join in this event was apparently still open as wide as the Dyandra event orginazer this event revealed that his side still hold open the opportunity for ATPM motorcycles to join in this IIMS 2009.
"In principle we always ATPM is open to all motorcycles in Indonesia, and even to this day we still do a number of discussions with several other motor ATPM," said Director Danny Dyandra Budiharto
In the middle of the drag due to the global financial crisis that the national automotive world, Motor Vehicle Industry Association of Indonesia (Gaikindo) akan the biggest automotive exhibition in Indonesia on 24 July 2009 to 2 August 2009.
Unlike previous years are held in the Council of Central Jakarta, Senayan, Indonesia exhibition, 17th International Motor Show will be held at the Jakarta International Expo Kemayoran Jakarta.
This event is also intended as a form of existence of the national automotive industry due to the sluggish global crisis. Also, the optimism of the automotive industry when the crisis.
"Automotive industry in Indonesia can not be seen from the product generated only existence but must be seen in full. Includes a variety of industry support and industry-related and contribute to the development of industry and national economic development," he said.
Safety Insurance Institute Road have in US state that four of the 12 mini-SUV testing reliable when the accident occurred.
Hoods usually point to be most vulnerable when the accident occurred which caused the car must be rolled-guling.
Fatal accidents like this are usually the most frequent cause of death in users.
As quoted Reuters, Wednesday (25/3/2009) of the four mini-SUVs that received the top rating in the category "Both" of these institutions are, Volkswagen Tiguan, Subaru Forester, Honda Element and Jeep Patriot.
This is the first time a team of safety supervisors who were funded by insurance companies, released the security rating system based on vehicle roof strength.
Meanwhile, Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, get ratings in the category "Weak."
"After the test, Kia Sportage has a most weak roof, the roof while most owned by the Volkswagen Tiguan," said institute spokesman.
In the United States, more than 10,000 people pertahun killed in a car accident that resulted rolled.
Institute, said the problem for the poor who often
using the SUV. Around a quarter of the users died in the accident mini van and a car, which rolled until the result, but persentasinya increased to 59% for SUVs.
Estimasinya, accident rolled contribute only 3% of vehicle accidents, but the three top causes of death.
Agency Traffic Safety Administration Road since 2005
explicate, increase safety standards to increase the strength of the roof with the driver up to 2.5 times of the weight of the vehicle without changing the shape or increase the size of the original size.
But the implementation of the standardization is still under the administration of the institution's standards.
Major manufacturer to support the proposed standardization gradually, because there is still disagreement.
Safety standards at this time, written in 1973, set the power-weight rationya and 1.5 times heavier SUVs and pick-up truck.
To win the rating category "Both", insurance institutions are required to have a vehicle roof which can hold four times the weight of strength before the roof was damaged in the five inches.
Institutions to provide assessment, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, Mitsubishi Outlander in the category "can be received" as a car that has a strong roof.
And provide a separate rating for the Honda CR-V 7267.T and Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute.
To further the project, says the Institute is planning to provide an assessment on the vehicle roof strength.
Japanese automobile manufacturers are now forced to rely on their automotive sales overseas.
The reason is, the domestic market in Japan reached the lowest point during the last 38 years in the 2008 fiscal year that ends in March.
As quoted AFP, decline in the Japanese domestic market to make the Japanese automotive industry depressed.
Japanese car industry association that is The Japan Automobile Dealers Association says there are only 2,891,901 cars, trucks and buses are successfully sold in 2009 to 31 March.
This figure is down dramatically compared to 15.6 percent the previous year. The decline is a decrease for 6 consecutive years and reached the lowest point since 1970.
Consumer cars in Japan are forced to reduce the purchase of a car because of the high cost of both car ownership and maintenance. As a result, the car market is also muddy.
This trend forcing Japanese manufacturers to rely on markets abroad, but on the other hand, global economic crisis is also forcing them to reduce production and receive income from a smaller branch in the foreign country.
Innovation has not stopped people. After GEA PT INKA Madiun, now have aliases micro car micro car that was introduced soon.
his name equally feminine, the name of this micro car is Arina. Cars Arina. Initial idea alias micro car micro car made in the country was the State University of Semarang, funded by the Ministry of Industry.
Arina at this time the car is in the development phase by the State University of Semarang (Unnes), Arina this car and use a motorcycle engine with engine capacity 150 cc, 200 cc and 250 cc.
Who micro car designer? The car is a faculty lecturer Unnes Mechanical Engineering, Widya Aryadi.
"Cars will be using this engine motorcycles with engine capacity 150 cc, 200 cc and 250 cc," said Widya detikOto when contacted, Thursday night (2/4/2009).
4 passenger car with this engine is still using China-made but, from the entire body and chasis Arina created in the country.
"Machines are still imported from China but the chasis and the body 100 percent made in the country. At the moment we still use a small engine from China, the only teeth we add only retreat," he said.
According to him, the engine made in China is shaped like a Honda engine with Tiger just for 1,2,3,4 and 1 forward gear to reverse.
However, my engine 150 cc and 250 cc is not made in China in the test with a Dyno test.
"We have yet to test the engine Dyno," said Widya.
Visitors to Bangkok Motor Show (BIMS) 2009 as if created astonishment with a sport car terkeren at this time the Aston Martin DBS.
Because the shape of the, if not one of the visitors made the exhibition impressed by the car used by the secret agent James Bond.
However, the presence of a sport car worth about 30 million Bath or around Rp 10 billion is not representing the name of Aston Martin but rental company car.
Apparently the presence of a car that has a tremendous power to 510 hp with 570 Nm torsi at BIMS 2009 is not for sale to automotive consumers, but can only rent at any time. Of course, the package price that can create headaches.
As quoted BizAsia, on Monday (6/4/2009), the rental company that is creating sensation Master Car Rental. Master Car Rental presumably like to experience driving this super car for the Thai public.
BIMS 2009 followed by the 130 participants from 11 countries engaged in the automotive industry and business support. This event is the event to 30 and estimated akan siphon attention from the 1.6 million visitors.
Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS) 2009 Monday 6 April 2009 this is over. Exhibition of the car was white elephant can be seen as the biggest exhibition in Southeast Asia.
As quoted from the press releases Mercedes-Benz, on Monday (6/4/2009), Mercedes-Benz are willing to make BIMS 2009 as first place in the world to show the Mercedes-Benz E 350 Avantgarde AMG Sports coupe.
This latest variant in the Mercedes-Benz also be calculated to remove the status of the very elegant, who have long since by Class E replace with a robe and a sporty coupe.
And because the status of this variant is the latest sports car, the kitchen spur under the hood engines also made quite frightening.
Because, especially for the car, Mercy deliberately developed a V6 engine sangar that can eject up to a maximum of 272 hp at 6000 rpm with maximum torsi reaches 350 Nm at 2400-5000 rpm.
With the power of the Mercedes-Benz E 350 Avantgarde AMG Sports coupe can go from 0-100 km time in just 6.4 seconds. And because of the tremendous bursts of power that the speed of the car at the limit is only up to 250 km / hour.
Technology that is in the car also be calculated quite intelligent. Because this car is embedded in a sensor that can detect a sense of drowsiness in the driver so that when the sense of the steerer drowsiness, the car is automatically warn.
as an other sport cars, Mercedes-Benz E 350 Avantgarde AMG Sports coupe is also equipped by Dynamic Driving a useful tool for setting up the car as Suspensi according to the style of the selected drive only with the touch of a key.
Because it is not wrong if the car is removed with a special price high enough, that is, the bath reached 7,999,000, or approximately Rp 2.6 billion.
Sekarang ini, di Indonesia mobil–mobil baru banyak menggunakan mesin dengan sistem penggerak katup, VVT-I, VTEC, valvetronik atau vanos. Toyota umumnya menamai mesinya VVT-I. Sedangkan Honda menamainya VTEC.VVT-i
Sistim VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - Intelligent) merupakan serangkaian peranti untuk mengontrol penggerak camshaft. Maksudnya adalah menyesuaikan waktu bukaan katup dengan kondisi mesin. Sehingga bisa didapat torsi optimal di setiap tingkat kecepatan. Sekaligus menghemat bahan bakar dan mengurangi emisi gas buang.
Pada mesin Toyota, sistim ini diaplikasikan pada katup masuk. Waktu bukaan camshaft bisa bervariasi pada rentang 60 derajat. Misalnya, pada saat start, kondisi mesin dingin dan mesin stasioner tanpa beban, timing dimundurkan 30 derajat.
Cara ini bakal menghilangkan overlap. Yaitu peristiwa membukanya katup masuk dan buang secara bersamaan di akhir langkah pembuangan karena katup masuk baru akan membuka beberapa saat setelah katup buang menutup penuh. Logikanya, pada kondisi ini mesin tak perlu bekerja ekstra.
Dengan tertutupnya katup buang, tak ada bahan bakar yang terbuang saat terisap ke ruang bakar. Konsumsi BBM jadi hemat dan mesin lebih ramah lingkungan.Sedangkan saat ada beban, timing akan maju 30 derajat . Derajat overlapping akan meningkat. Tujuannya untuk membantu mendorong gas buang plus memanaskan campuran bahan bakar dan udara yang masuk. Selain itu, waktu kompresi juga bertambah karena katup masuk juga menutup lebih cepat. Efeknya, efisiensi volumetrik jadi lebih baik.
Untuk mewujudkannya, ada VVT-i controller pada timing gear di intake camshaft. Alat ini terdiri atas housing (rumah), kemudian di dalamnya ada ruangan oli untuk menggerakkan vane (baling-baling).
Baling-baling itu terhubung dengan camshaft. Di dalamnya terdapat dua jalur oli menuju masing-masing ruang oli di dalam rumah VVT-i controller. Dari jalur oli yang berbeda inilah, vane akan mengatur waktu bukaan katup.
Posisi advance timing maju didapat dengan mengisi oli ke ruang belakang masing-masing bilah vane. Sehingga vane akan bergerak maju dan posisi timing pun ikut maju 30 derajat. Tekanan olinya sendiri disediakan oleh camshaft timing Oli Control Valve yang diatur oleh ECU mesin.
Kebalikannya, untuk kondisi retard (mundur), ruang di depan vane akan terisi dan posisi timing mundur. Sedangkan kalau dibutuhkan pada kondisi standar, ada pin yang akan mengunci posisi vane tetap ada di tengah.
Sebenarnya masih ada sistem yang lebih canggih, namanya VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing Lift-Intelligent). Selain memainkan waktu bukaan katup, tingginya pun ikut dibedakan.
VTEC
Teknologi canggih Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Controlled (VTEC) hasil inovasi Honda ini menampilkan mekanisme berbeda. Perbedaan utamanya adalah pada pergerakan katup masuknya. Pada mesin 16 valve, terdapat masing-masing dua katup masuk dan buang di tiap silinder.
VTEC diaplikasikan hanya pada katup masuk. Pada katup inilah pengontrolan efisiensi mesin lebih berpengaruh. Asumsinya, proses pembuangan tak memerlukan pembukaan katup variabel sebab semakin lancar gas buang, kerja mesin akan semakin enteng.
Pada mesin VTEC, kedua katup masuk tak selalu bergerak bareng. Misalnya, di putaran rendah hanya ada satu klep yang membuka. Bukaannya pun relatif kecil karena karakter camshaft yang menonjok katup ini cocok buat putaran rendah. Kondisi ini dinilai pas untuk mesin. Karena pada putaran rendah tak perlu suplai udara banyak. Selain itu, bisa terjadi turbulensi udara untuk membantu mencampur bahan bakar. Mesin jadi irit, efisien, juga ramah lingkungan.
Seiring naiknya putaran mesin, kebutuhan suplai udara juga meningkat. Langsung dijawab dengan katup kedua. Bukaannya lebih besar karena nok chamshaft punya karakter derajat lebih tinggi. Asyiknya, katup pertama tadi ikut membuka lebih lebar. Hal ini disebabkan ada pin yang menghubungkan rocker arm dan mendorong pin. Otomatis pin tadi akan mengunci kedua rocker arm. Karena rocker arm kedua digerakkan oleh nok camshaft yang berdurasi lebih tinggi, gerakan katup pertama jadi mengikuti.
Selain VTEC ada juga i-VTEC (intelligent VTEC) yang juga dilengkapi mekanisme memajukan dan memundurkan pengapian. Tentu hasilnya lebih maksimal untuk meningkatkan efisiensi mesin.
New Odyssey menjadi pelopor tren dalam hal desain dan teknologi kendaraan high-end MPV.
Model ini akan menjaditrendsetter baru untuk sebuah high-end MPV. Desain eksterior yang eurodinamis dengan ketajaman sorotan lampu depan adalah salah satu yang membuat Odyssey jadi pusat perhatian.
Odyssey kata dia, merupakan kendaraan keluarga delapan penumpang yang memiliki platform lantai rata dengan penampilan yang memang beda dengan pendahulunya.
Jonfis menambahkan peluncuran New Odyssey merupakan jawaban dari keinginan konsumen untuk memiliki kendaraan eklusif dengan cirri tersendiri dibandingkan MPV lain.
Hal ini lantaran di dalam terkandung nilai kecepatan yang dapat dilihat dari titik keseimbangan yang rendah berkat adanya ultr low-floor platform sehingga mudah dikemudikan dan dikendalikan. Selain itu, ketinggian bodyyang menguntungkan dan kelapangan yang menyediakan ruang kepala luas dan lantainya yang rata, ungkap jonfis. (a.r)
Merupakan mobil station wagon yang berbasis dari Nissan skyline yang diproduksi mulai tahun 1996 sudah mengadopsi mesin 2.5 turbo (basis mesin C34 Laurel platform) dengan competitor utama Subaru Legacy merupakan touring wagon untuk pasar Jepang (JDM)…Ada 3 versi berbeda untuk Stagea, WC34 series1 (1996-1998), WC34 series2 (1998-2001), dan M35 series (2001-sekarang)WC34 seri1 hadir dalam mesin 2 liter dan 2.5 liter dengan turbo (menggunakan mesin tipe RB).

Untuk pertama yang harus diubah adalah velg…aplikasi velg cast wheel full chrome 17” di cangkok berbalut ban federal 70/90-17 untuk belakang, sedangkan Blackstone 60/90-17 buat depan dirasa masih mumpuni menopang beban lantaran sok depan di amputasi alias dilengserkan sehingga mati dan tak ada rebound, bahkan untuk sok belakang memakai punya F1Z-R tanpa per alias as-nya saja…
wah…bener-bener kayak naek sepeda brooo…yahhh…namanya juga demi tampilan harus mengorbankan kenyamananlah…lanjut, untuk lampu sein depan dibikin sipit walau pakai stiker namun hasilnya cukup rapi,,,begitu juga dengan body hitamnya yang ditutup full stiker sehingga striping aslinya tidak kelihatan, bohlam pake HID xenon 18 watt 2 pieces…yang penting kelihatan resik dan elegan…itu sudah mewakaili modif VIP style…untuk biaya modif ini, cukup merogoh kocek 1 jutaan aja…tapi kalo ada duit lebih…bisa untuk nambahin aksesoris yang laen…

Ngomongin Honda cs-1 mungkin dibenak anda identik dengan motor aneh karena merupakan spesies barunya (crossover). Motor ini secara performa memang bisa diandalkan untuk kategori motorsport ringan (lightsport), tetapi anggapan negative bermunculan mengenai body yang terlancur aneh, karena perpaduan dari berbagai jenis sepeda motor..yah, seperti kawin silang saja…antara bebek, skutik dan sport…!!. Dari data yang ada memang penjualannya jauh di atas FU-150, ini merupakan fenomena yang fantastis atas antusiasme masyarakat atas produk spesies baru…!!!, di sisi lain motor ini memiliki resale value yang cukup rendah…Lawong harga gress sekitar 17 jutaan sedangkan harga second terendah mencapai 12 jutaan..!!!. Mungkin ini pukulan telak bagi pengguna cs-1 anyar…!!!Yaccchh, dengan adanya fenomena di atas mestinya AHM tidak tinggal diam…kabar santer terdengar bakal ada pengganti cs-1, dengan body fullfairing…!!!Apakah ini akan menjadi kenyataan???mengingat untuk pasar sport fairing dibawah 150cc masih kosong…tentunya masyarakat kita masih haus akan sport local ATPM fullfairing…lihat saja begitu larisnya penjualan Minerva 150R yang merupakan replica CBR…kita berharap AHM segera mengeluarkan pengganti cs-1, entah menggunakan body CBR 125 atau LS 125 thailand dengan tetap menggunakan mesin
cs-1 untuk menghemat biaya produksi sehingga harga bisa lebih murah…pastilah cocok karena keduanya sama-sama mengusung mesin 125cc bedanya CBR bermesin 4tak sedangkan LS 2tak…yachhh…kita tunggu saja…semoga saja dalam waktu dekat bisa keluar, karena AHM pastinya sudah melakukan riset untuk sport terbarunya…peace!!!
Mendengar kata truk pasti identik dengan muatan…yahhh, kuda besi yang bisa dibilang cukup tangguh untuk membawa beban berat dengan daya kuda diatas 350hp…!!!.”Abnormal trucking” mungkin ini istilah yang tepat karena truk dengan membawa beban lebihh bahkan extra large and longer and wide and abnormal pastinyaa…weleh-weleh, gimana enggak??? Lawong bebannya lebih dari 20 ton!!! Bahkan bisa mencapai 100 ton..!!!wuihhh hebattt…!!!. tentu saja truk yang digunakan bukan mesin truk sembarangan rawan jebol tuh mesin kalo sembarangan atau salah pakai truk…merk seperti scania, DAF, mack, pacific, metal horse, intrepid,forruner agressor dan masih banyak lagi,,,merupakan jajaran truk-truk tangguh dari daratan eropa dan amerika…!!!lihat saja foto-foto dibawah ini, bakalan membuat anda tercengang dan bergeleng-geleng kelapa…eh kepala dink…peace!!!
Untuk konsumsi bensin, menurut tabloid motor plus edisi 522, meski kedua motor tersebut memiliki mesin sama, ketika kedua motor diajak jalan bareng dengan rute sama yaitu 23,1 km. km awal spido revo 174,8 km dan km akhir 197,9 km. sedangkan blade dengan km awal 447,7 km dengan akhir 470,8 km. Dalam jarak segitu, dua tester berbeda bobot (62kg dan 70kg) diterjunkan. Kedua motor dikendarai secara bergantian dengan perlakuan berkendara tak berubah alias sama. Untuk revo, perjalanan sejauh 23,1 km itu menghabiskan bensin 0,397 liter. Sedangkan blade meminum premium sebanyak 0,389 liter. Berarti, untuk satu liter premium di revo 110 bisa berjalan hingga 58,18 km. Sedangkan blade 110R 59,38 km…Yah memang selisihnya tidak jauh…Cuma 1,2 km. Begitunya antara Blade 110R dengan Revo 110, berarti masih irit Blade 110R. Ini bisa terjadi lantaran akselerasi Blade sedikit lebih cepat dikail. Artinya, sedikit grip di plintir,,,motor langsung ngaciiiirrr….!!!!
Tentunya dalam memodifikasi mobil, stiker sebagai pemanis tampilan, walaupun dengan ukuran yang minim, hal ini sebagai identitas tema pada suatu mobil modifikasi…Untuk stiker ala JDM yang berkelir hijau dan kuning dengan garis tepi hitam dapat ditempel di kaca bagian belakang, sangatlah cocok dan pas bila ditempel pada tema modif JDM anda, bentuknya yang khas membuat tampil beda….Stiker lambing JDM dapat dibeli di tukang stiker maupun di bengkel modif.Untuk stiker pendukung lain macam merek part yang di pakai dapat di tempelkan di bawah spion secara bertingkat dengan warna yang sama, ingat…jangan terlalu banyak warna karena akan mengurangi tampilan JDM itu sendiri…!!!
minimalis,,,,tetapi untuk urusan mesin sangat Ganassss!!! Dimana untuk kebanyakan mobil di jepang modif eksteriornya gak norak bin neko-neko…!!!inilah arti JDM style!!! Oh iya, jangan lupa cat body yang identik dengan JDM yaitu putih atau kuning serta velg racing warna gelap (hitam maupun carbon) , so tinggal pilih sesuai selera dijamin bakalan siiip deh….trusss untuk mobil yang sering dipake modif ini adalah Honda civic series,,,akan tetapi sah-sah saja segala jenis mobil di modif ala JDM…Pelototin aja nichh foto-fotonya..!!!
Simple VIP City CarDi jepang sono, city car yang paling dominant dimodif elegan yaitu wagon-R, S-MX, MOVE, vamos, tanto dan masih banyak lagi…!!!, untuk velg cukup pake 17” + ban profil tipis, tidak lupa spoiler belakang ekstra lebar, untuk tampilan headlamp dibikin spit ala jap style dengan menambahkan “eye lid” dari fiber yang dicat sewarna body, untuk part body wagon-R dapat langsung tukar guling dengan Karimun yang kebetulan memiliki platform sama…!!!. Jangan lupa chamber roda belakang di setting negative agar kesan celup roda semakin kental, sehingga body semakin menyapu aspal…!!!
Body paint full white absolute…!!!, emblem pabrikan pada gril dihilangkan, bagian depan terlihat resik dan elegan abiezz…!!!. Velg mungil dengan offset yang cukup lebar serta celong memberikan aroma eksklusiv meskipun daleman interior masih standar toh yang dipentingan dalam modifikasi ini hanyalah penampilan eksterior diutamakan, untuk interior yaaa cukup nomor dualaaah…!!!
Yupz…kabar yang simpang siur terdengar bahwa pabrikan sayap mengepak ini bakal mengeluarkan matic di kelas Hi-End. Sepertinya AHM akan menguasai seluruh segmen pasar, dimana terdapat berbagai jajaran produk di berbagai kelas…!!!. Di tengah gempuran YMKI dengan Mionya yang masih menjadi pioneer, akankah AHM bakalan memenuhi target penjualan matic di atas YMKI???yaahh….tunggu saja….biar data yang bicara…Sebelumnya untuk bebek matic telah diisi oleh Nouvo dan Skywave…Nah, untuk AHM sepertinya masih ada celah kosong untuk meramaikan pasar di segmen ini. Di Thailand sebenarnya sudah muncul Honda Airblade sejak tahun 2006 lalu…Apakah AHM bakal merilisnya di sini???
Untuk model dan fitur, Airblade dapat dikatakan paling canggih dikelasnya…Parking Brake Lock, Combi Brake, Jumbo U-Box yang dapat memuat satu Raket Tennis, tangki di dek tengah, Key Shutter multifungsi, serta Built in Radiator…!!!Modelnya pun cukup beringas, dengan mengadopsi desain pesawat f-16 yang serba meruncing cocok untuk jiwa muda yang maskulin…Untuk model sendiri ada 2 tipe body berbeda, untuk Thailand menganut headlamp ganda yang runcing serta Vietnam yang menganut headlamp tunggal, mirip FU150…!!!
Untuk masalah harga dapat dipastikan bakalan diatas vario, mengingat berbagai fitur plus-plus yang ditawarkan Airblade yang Hi tech dan cukup mumpuni untuk menggempur kompetitornya.Ohya…November tahun lalu di Thailand baru saja launching Airblade-i dengan system injeksi, penambahan fitur dari Airblade sebelumnya yaitu: adanya box filter di atas CVT, bagasi mungil di bawah dashboard serta tutup tangki yang berada di tengah (centerbone) yang sebelumnya di pinggir sebelah kiri…Warna dan striping juga relatif lebih mewah dan ekslusiff….!!!!
Monggo di tunggu sajaa….
Dalam memodifikasi mobil tentunya harus mengarah pada suatu konsep tertentu agar mendapatkan focus yang tepat, harus selalu dicatat modifikasi ini mungkin mengurangi kenyamanan tunggangan anda….Modifikasi mobil VIP STYLE berasal dari negara jepang, yang identik dengan gaya elegan, ceper, velg gambot, dan terkesan luxury. …Mobil terkesan mewah, elegan, dan sangat aristocrat ….Beberapa poin penting untuk mengusung gaya ini antara lain:1.VELG SUSPENSI
Pemakaian velg harus serasi dengan mobil, baik itu model, ukuran, sampai warna velg. Misal untuk MPV: pakai: 17”,18”,19”,20”. Sedan: 18”,19”,20”. SUV: 20”,22”,23”24”. Pada umumnya menggunakan jenis velg chrome untuk memperlihatkan kesan mewah dan mahal tetapi dapat juga menggunakan warna polish maupun silver. Untuk lebih mengesankan vip, pakai yang monoblock maupun kembangan velg yang agak luas.
Jangan lupa, untuk suspensi baiknya diganti yang ceper dan agak keras, atau kalau punya budget lebih, air suspension jauh lebih baik, dapat di tebus mulai 20 jutaan, terus terang saya lupa merknya…Untuk yang memakai per yang konvensional mungkin agak ribet ketika melalui polisi tidur, sedangkan pakai air suspension dapat diatur ketinggiannya….uniknya ketika parkir, mobil dapat di ceperkan sampai bodi kit menyentuh tanah!!! It’s so nice…..!!!!2.BODYKIT
Pilih bodykit yang beraliran elegan, jagan terlalu melebar kesamping dan tidak banyak lekukan maupun lubang (air dam), bodykit ini memberikan kesan padat berisi sehingga mobil terkesan menyentuh ground (tanah)
3.CAT
Warna cat jangan terlalu norak untuk yang benar-benar ingin 100% absolute vip, pilih warna body dengan cat PUTIH atau HITAM!!! selain kedua warna tersebut maka bisa dikatakan bukan VIP murni…yang terpenting dari modifikasi ini adalah menggunakan 1 warna cat aja..
4.VARIASI PENDUKUNG
Untuk memperkuat tampilan vip pada mobil anda dapat menggunakan exaust yang besar namun pipih maupun bulat 2pieces, bohlam diganti HID Xenon, aksen krom pada list body, maupun emblem ala tunner favorit anda.
Demikianlah 4 poin penting dalam memodifikasi VIP STYLE, modifikasi ini dapat diaplikasikan pada hampir semua mobil pribadi produksi ATPM maupun CBU….dari mobil low-end sampai high-end sah-sah saja mengaplikasikan modif ini…
