Car Washing Tips

Rather than taking it a costly carwash, in addition to saving money, washing a car by hand is sometimes considered a therapeutic activity and can put your mind at ease.

Washing a car isn't as simple as taking a bucket of soapy water and wiping the automobile down. The following tips will make your car shine and cause heads to turn as you cruise down the highway:

• Many drivers tend to wait until a thick layer of dirt and grime builds up on the exterior of a car before washing it. Usually, the buildup contains chemicals that will eat away at a car's wax and paint. It is important to rinse your car regularly to prevent the cars exterior from rotting away.

• Car soap is designed specially to clean automobiles. Many people often make the mistake of using household cleaning agents like dishwasher detergent and hand soap. Car soap has a mild formula that won't damage a car's paint job.

• Fully rinse the car down before applying any soap. This will remove any excess dirt and prevent scratching when wiping down the vehicle with a soapy rag.

• When hosing the car down after applying soap, rinse from the top to the bottom. This will help the soap suds drip to the ground and prevent any unnecessary pooling of water. Additionally, use a hose with a nozzle rather than a heavy flow to avoid any body damage.

• Allowing a car to air dry will leave noticeable watermarks all throughout. Instead, use a soft towel to blot the water, rather than dragging it over the vehicle. This will prevent streaking and leave the car looking as good as new.

Washing a car by hand is a great alternative to using an auto wash service. Yet, no matter which cleaning method you choose, remember that cleaning your car often will not only protect its exterior, but also will leave your car looking great for thousands of miles to come.

Nissan Vanette Gallery Car

Nissan Vanette

The Nissan Vanette is a van produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan Motors since 1978. The van has also been sold as the Nissan Sunny-Vanette or Nissan Van. There was formerly a separate model sold in Europe under the same name, however it was unrelated based on the Nissan Serena. The passenger version is called the Vanette in most markets, and came equipped with multiple engine and drivetrain configurations.

Engines for Japan included A12S, A15S, CA20S, CA18T, LD20 and LD20S. 2WD and 4WD versions were produced, with manual, automatic, floor and column shift options available. While no longer produced for the Japanese market, it is still available in other markets around the world such as Malaysia.[1] While it has had a few facelifts over the years, the basic van is still the same. The 1980s interior is still intact as can be seen on the Malaysian Nissan website referenced.

Eventually, it was replaced by a version of the Mazda Bongo (or E-series), sold as the Nissan Vanette under an OEM deal.

Nissan March Image Gallery

Nissan March

The original March/Micra (chassis name K10) was introduced in October 1982 as a challenger to the highly successful Honda City. It was intended to replace the Nissan Cherry as the company's competitor in the supermini sector, as the Cherry model itself had progressively become larger with each successive generation. It was introduced in the European market in 1983, and in the Canadian market in 1984. Although Nissan was slowly phasing out the Datsun name, a small "Datsun" ( Dattosan) appeared on the tailgate for the first two years, and in some European markets, the car was known as the "Datsun-Nissan Micra". The March was initially available with an extremely refined all-aluminium MA10S SOHC engine. The Datsun badges had disappeared completely by the end of 1984.

The model was revised in June 1985, identifiable by the slightly larger rear lamp clusters. The Japanese market saw the debut of the first March Turbo/MA10ET, where Nissan grafted a turbocharger to the small 1.0 L engine. Another facelift came in March 1989, which consisted of some minor upgrades such as deeper bumpers, a new front grille, minor interior details, and headlight changes. It also saw the introduction of an electronically controlled carburettor, the larger MA12 1.2 L engine with 60 PS (44 kW/59 hp) and a 5-door hatchback version.

In 1988, Nissan launched a limited 10,000 unit run of its homologated Nissan 1989 March Superturbo (EK10GFR/GAR). Both this and the 1988 March R (EK10FR) featured the same highly advanced sequential compound charged (supercharger plus turbocharger) engine in an all-aluminium straight-4 930 cc 8-valve 4 cylinder Nissan MA MA09ERT unit that produced 110 PS JIS (81 kW/108 hp) at 6400 rpm. This car came with either a 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual gearbox with viscous limited slip differential, as well as options such as air conditioning and electric mirrors. The March Superturbo still holds the crown for the fastest production March in Nissan's history, with factory performance figures of 7.7 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 15.5 seconds to run a quarter mile. It has a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).

Ford Fiesta Cars Available to Buy New

The Fiesta, a super-mini is still considered to be one hot car that is perfect for city or urban driving. True enough, not everyone wants to drive a small and light car but for those who want to have compact cars then the Ford Fiesta is one car to boot for. It is generally good looking, fuel efficient and affordable. Its greatest strength for most owners is its reliability. Even though it is a compact car, it is one of the super-minis which has much legroom and headroom. You can also have other options for your chosen Fiesta - Bluetooth, voice control or even satellite navigation.

The Fiestas come in different types. Many love the Fiesta Studio but the Ford Fiesta Style has more specifications. Up on the Fiesta range is the Fiesta Zetec Climate that is actually a sporty version. If you want to have a luxurious Fiesta, then the Fiesta Ghia can be yours for the taking. Of course, Fiesta ST is rally car inspired.

For the Ford Fiesta's sale in USA, two models are available - hatchback or coupe. The hatchback is in European style and can be described as sporty. The coupe, on the other hand, is quite flashy with its two-door style.

Another version of the Ford Fiesta is the RS. The Fiesta RS is considered to be an upgrade to the rally inspired Fiesta ST. It is expected to be released in the UK this 2010. The Fiesta plants in various countries like China, Spain and Mexico.

Buying the a supermini is one very good move if you are looking for a practical car. It is fuel efficient but at the same time good looking so it is best for driving around the city. It is no big wonder why the Fiesta is one of the best selling compact cars in many European countries. And since it is now making its way to the American market, all we have to do is to test whether it be as big as the European hit.

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, upload feito originalmente por Ziggy Marlissa.

The 8C Competizione was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003. The lines of the twin seater are meant to echo the styling of Alfas of the 1930s and 1940s, and the "Competizione" name is a reference to the 1948 6C 2500 Competizione, which competed in the 1949 and 1950 Mille Miglia race and came third both times. It was in the latter of these two races that the car was driven by Juan-Manuel Fangio and Augusto Zanardi. It won the 1950 Targa Florio. A 3.0 litre prototype was built but not produced. These 6C 2500 models were among the last vehicles with links to the pre-war cars.

During the Mondial de l'Automobile 2006, Alfa Romeo announced the production of a limited series of 500 units of the 8C Competizione. The production version is very similar to the concept, with the biggest difference to the exterior being the rear-hinged hood. The car came in four colours: 8C Red, Competition Red, black or yellow. The bodyshell is made of carbon fibre, produced by ATR Group. The carbon fibre body is fitted to a steel chassis, made by Italian company ITCA Produzione. The final assembly takes place at the Maserati factory in Modena, Italy.

It is fitted with specially developed 20 inch tyres: 245/35 at the front and 285/35 at the rear, fitted on perforated rims in fluid moulded aluminium. The 8C brakes have been called phenomenal by Road & Track magazine, with a stopping distance of 32 metres, when travelling at an initial speed of 60mph (97km/h32 metres (105.0 ft). The official top speed is announced to be 292 kilometres per hour (181 mph) but it might be higher, with estimations that it could be around 306 kilometres per hour (190 mph) according to the Road & Track magazine. An Alfa Romeo engineer also stated that it is faster.

Top speed: 292 km/h (181 mph)
0-100 km/h (0-62 mph): 4.2 seconds
1/4 mile (~400 m): 12.4 seconds @ 115.4 mph (186 km/h)
Engine: V8
Displacement: 4.7 L (4691 cc) (286.8 cu in)
