Mazda Once Again Gets into the Timepiece Again

Partnerships and collaborations with manufacturers of watches are normally the possibilities for manufacturers of foreign cars. Mazda has collaborated with Sinn Spezialuhren, a German watch maker, to build a limited edition chronograph watch (with a retail price of 1,490 or $ 2,000), which is listed to go on sale in the middle of August in European side Mazda dealers. Apparently this was the third time that Mazda has joined forces with its Sinn. They have launched two other times measuring instruments, depicting influence of the MX-5 and RX-8. The watches were the MX-5 model and the NC Sinn 303 RX-8. While the first projects were own versions of the original Sinn models, the new clock stopwatch was entirely conceived by and for Mazda. The Japanese car manufacturer said the chronograph of the project was based on the variety of models Mazda. One example is the issue of square round clock that appears as a design concept in the air, tail lights and door handles of the Mazda MX-5. The stopwatch of the band with Mazda closing of the butterfly is another reference to the vehicle Mazda design. Composed of silicone rubber, the band has the same profile of the tire Mazda Hakaze - the latest Nagare design study, which was created by Mazda of the European project and the team showed in the Geneva Motor Show this year. The clock was designed by Hasip Girgin, Assistant Chief Designer at Mazda & 39; s European Centre for Research and Development. He sees the creation as a challenge because, according to him, he wanted to give the stopwatch with a peculiar design instant appeal. He added that for more than a year, he worked to find a clock design that expresses the same type of fleshliness found in each car Mazda. On technical matters, the clock has Valjoux 7750 (stopwatch quality of the stopwatch), mechanical lever escape with self-settlement movement mechanical, precision regulator, 25 ruby jewels, 28800 semi-oscillations/hour, Incabloc shock protection system, the antimagnetic DIN 8309, shock protection system to DIN 8308, rapid change of date, the power reserve of over 46 hours, and stopwatch (stopwatch Function / measurement Capacity: 12 hours). The clock displays bright minute and hour hands, luminous indexes, 3 and 9 hours on the face, date display in a window, and positioned centrally second stop hands that appear seconds, minutes and 12 hours. Satinised include your housing stainless steel DIN 1.4435 grade material in housing screw-back engraved with limited number edition of the crown, which can be screwed, sapphire crystal glass with double-sided anti-reflection coating, water-resistant DIN 8310, the pressure-resistant Which is able to achieve 10 bar = diving depth of approx. 100 m and a width of 22 mm lug. His handle is silicon rubber with the profile of Mazda Hakaze concept car and a tire of high quality with closing butterfly elaborate engraving. Aside from making quality Mazda vent display, Mazda once again proved its commitment to the manufacture of quality products with its collaboration with Sinn Spezialuhren, and for such an excellent project for the third time. jeramy doria

This vehicle is in a position to show what it means to a vehicle & 39; his contemporary and add in the fact that c & 39; is to be a convertible. And again & 39; colorful history of Volvo, you should know that the vehicle is quite impressive. He received a rigid shrink and many lovers d & 39; Automobile find this vehicle quite dramatic, that very large and muscular one.
Not as Volvo XC90 and XC90 parties, but the Volvo C70 is a car by itself. This vehicle is lithe and elegant. It has everything d & 39, first was made available as a coupe or a convertible & 39;. It seems, however, that they are not & 39; l & 39; led sale of this vehicle. But once his recasting is now the Volvo C70 a vehicle with a roof d & 39; rigid shrink by both a coupe and a convertible, the sales are sure d & 39; to go shooting & ; amp; 39;. Now, the Volvo can be purchased, with a torque of options.
A go to the Volvo C70, you do not find that everything seems balanced. The vehicle is also smooth and has an aura, & 39; can be much energy, and he has in the journal. Most people who take a look & 39; look at the Volvo C70, which allege that & c 39, is a car of candy for the eyes. Finally, the vehicle is proud without a glass frame, which is quite unique, and not so ordinary. And for those who do not do not know yet, the second generation of Volvo C70 is in fact a product of Pininfarina, a lot of applause coachbuilder.
That Italian and c & 39; is why it would not be very surprised to find at the top of the Volvo C70 in sales, in the performance, Appel and certainly in popularity. The Volvo C70 Coupe / Convertible has certainly come a long way together. sandy adelaida

How Often Do You Change Oil?

When you need to replace your lubricating oil? If you have a large quantity of lubricating oil to change, it will burn a hole in your pocket. Therefore, most plant operators try to preserve the properties of lubricating oil, while possible.

One of the most important functions of lubricating oil is to reduce the friction between the moving parts of machinery. But there are other features to look at.

When you know that the oil should be changed? Below is a rough guide:

1. Viscosity has changed by 10%
2. Flash Point fell to 150 degrees Celsius
3. Content water reached 2%
4. TBN, or Base Total number has reduced by 20%
5. Insoluble Content increased to 5% of oil

Due the oxidation of the oil, when exposed to heat and oxygen, the viscosity of oil tend to fall. With the reduction in viscosity, the oil film friction between metal surfaces becomes more difficult to maintain. This results in metal to metal contact, micro seizures that leads to scuffing, abrasion and other damages.

In large diesel engines, fuel oil drip injected or fuel pumps, sometimes find their way to the lubrication oil sump. This has the tendency to reduce the flash point of the lubricating oil. Besides reducing the viscosity which is detrimental to lubrication, this contamination with fuel oil can be very dangerous. If there is a hotspot in any friction of cuts, this may lead to a crankcase explosion.

Water can also find its way to the lubricating oil to leak in the cooling system of water o-rings or gaskets. Besides reducing the properties of lubricating oil, the presence of water in the oil can lead to bacteria or fungi growth, which will harm the speed oil properties, as well as contribute to acid corrosion and oxidation of the oil, changing the chemical composition of oil itself. However, if the water content is less than 0.5%, it can still be removed by centrifugal purifiers.

The total base number is especially necessary for lubrication of the cylinder liner engines that operate on the basis of poor quality fuel with high - sulphur content. The base additive is used to reduce the corrosive effect of sulfuric acid fumes in cylinder.

With large diesel engine plant, lubricating oils are continually filtered and purified to reduce the insoluble particles in the oil. Special strainers containing magnets are used to trap particles of iron or carbon particles. In large diesel engines, the carbon particles are by-products of combustion while the iron particles comes from the friction gears, cams or other parts where wear down even occur.

The presence of these particles interferes with the lubrication of the bearings, most of which contain soft white - metallic coating. The particles can become embedded in the soft metal and cause the metal abrasion parts.

Saturn Fuel Tank: Your Car s Fuel Reservoir

The Saturn-tank, the basic function of the storage of the fuel until it is needed the vehicle is in operation. It has two lines, a bay and a pipe outlet pipe. The outlet pipe has a fitting for a fuel supply. It can be at the top or the side of a vehicle. At the lower end there is only about a half-inch above the bottom of the tank, so that no debris or waste is flushed into the carburetor. In other words, the tank is the reservoir for the fuel. Of course, the fuel must remain in the containers for safety. To ensure this, there is a need for a Saturn Saturn cap.
The fuel tank fuel tank cap consists of a body made of plastic or threads with lugs, located in the filler neck of the fuel tank. The Saturn gas-cap goal is primarily to cover the opening of the fuel tank filler neck, it serves as an important security component, which prevents the flow of fuel from the tank filler, when a car in an accident , as rollovers. It helps, the chances of reducing fuel consumption and related leaks dangers.
The Saturn fuel tank is even more important part of the on-board diagnostic system (OBDII) emissions and control system. The cap prevents the spillage of fuel vapors from the filler neck, which is a major source of hydrocarbon emissions. A leaky or missing gas cap can lead to the release of 30 litres of fuel per year in the safety and emissions atmosphere.
Strong initiatives as necessary cap designs to other tasks. Fine calibrated springs and valves are in the quality of fuel tank caps. Fuel tank caps can be either standard or minimize seal species, that the chances of tampering with the fuel tank.
It is necessary to check whether the Saturn gas cap is properly reinstall after each fill-up. In some parts of the world with a test program emissions, the fuel tank Cap May be tested for its ability to hold pressure. If the cap is not, they must be replaced. son amiee
