Motorcycle Modifications

Competition motorcycle modification not only widespread in Indonesia. In England alsoheld the London International Custom Bike Show 2011 which just ended this past February at Alexandra Palace, London. In this event presented a variety of bigmotorcycle (MOGE) created by modifying the country.

There are more than 100 moge on display from several reputable home modifications,such as Zodiac, Custom Chrome, Nick Gale Custom Cycles, Alchemy, Harrison Billet,and Sickboyz Customs, and Ave Satanas. Looks are not extreme, and still shows its original form. In fact, there is a cafe racer wing.

Porsche that needs 100 engineers!

You are an engineer who wanted a career in the automotive world? Or want to work for an automotive company that has a worldwide reputation as a Porsche? Try the opportunity offered by Porsche that needs 100 engineers! 

According to the company yesterday, Dr Ing hc F Porsche AG, Stuttgart, or better known as the Porsche is trying to improve the ability of its development center in Weisssach (Baden-Württemberg), Germany. The initial steps Porsche recruit 100 engineers working in research and development. This sports car company will be waiting for application in the next few weeks. 

More details, Porsche looking for experts in the field of elektromobilitas, lightweight construction, such as energy management, such as engine and chassis design. The experts will work in the field of further development and optimize the driving concept of alternative or will work together on projects of new vehicles such as car supersport 918 Spyder. 

Explained, Porsche will add employees working in Wesissach (3,000 employees) as a competence center sports car. "Weissach synonymous with top German-made engineering. In addition, a very talented experts will help us raise Porsche's top position in automobile construction innovation, "said Thomas Edig, Deputy Chariman of the Board of Management and Director of Human Resources and Social Affair, in a release. 

Research and development is traditionally Prosche competition. Knowledge of Weisssach not only set the standard sports car and the international premium segment. Also often used by other companies which received support from Porsche engineers in accordance with the projects they handle. 

TITA-EVE in Essen Motor Show 2010

SpeedART German home modifications will bring Tita-EVO to be displayed on theEssen Motor Show 2010 which took place 27 November to 5 December in Germany.Vehicles on display will be a second-generation Porsche Cayenne three units whichhave got a touch.

The third unit is Cayenne iteration, namely from the diesel version, S. Hybrid and TurbospeedART which has inflated the power and torque, respectively 50PS/70Nm,70PS/50Nm and 100 PS/150Nm. Not explained that touched on the engine parts,exhaust systems designed only sport model. And special for gasoline versin controllerequipped with sacred sound, while diesel is not there.

So, to speedHybrid 450 now has a maximum power of 450 PS (331 kW) andoutperformed Ceyenne Serie S. Acceleration 0-100 km per hour which was originallytaken 6.5 seconds, can be sharpened to 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 252 km / h(before 242 km / h). Medium Cayenne Turbo, have three choices 550, 570 or 600 PS.

From the exterior looks Titan-Evo gets aerodynamic package by adding a body kit.Among them, the front and rear skirt given. Then sepatbor dilated for 23-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 315/25 ZR23 tires can go.

In order to drive smoothly and do not rub tires, suspension systems installed air suspension is controlled electronically. Medium conventional suspension spring andcoilover installed.

Honda S2000 (S2K)

Medan (North Sumatra) often have their own stories in the modified cars, mainly deals with the exoticism and speed. And in fact, in the city of Tanah Karo stored sports car that is not less attractive to other large cities. 

One of them, the Honda S2000 (S2K) production in 2000 had Rendy Hima Gono.Members of the community of New Dimension Medan has a strong concept of the sedan kupe its soft top, which is JDM street racing. One of the easiest modifications to the flow and fit together like a sports car design S2K. 

From the exterior is not too extreme, but many were replaced in order to look more fresh. As elected body kit C-west, not the Mugen is considered to be too simple, is somewhat excessive VeilSide. Use Varis GT rear wing combined with stoplamp AP2 (also used on the front) make S2K more fresh faces. 

To modify the engine, JDM flow so crucial one. Some components, according to Elvis from Solid Automotive and New Dimension menitip friends. Replaced as part of the Mugen engine cover, piston and con rod JDM spec., ARC airbox and Toda Racing header of the allegedly powerful boost of energy. 

In the interior whose standards are quite sporty, but by Rendy who now lectures at the Aussie again is still there being replaced. The goal, to support the JDM look. 

Can you look like a steering wheel from Mugen is made more comfortable grip. Still from Mugen, worn on the stick shift, and pedal set. While certain parts of the dashboard has been using woven fiber material.

Honda Genio 1993 be a racing car

Original car is Honda Genio 1993. But, thanks to the courage Andre Mulyadi, the figure turned into a saloon car racing group C who competed in the event world championship endurance racing cars. Signal modifier of Custom, Bandung, West Java, not just change the chassis and body. Until the machine was converted from gasoline to electric powered. 

Let's start from the chassis and exterior. To design a blueprint, Andre took one priority lasted two months and four months. During that time, for all mounted precision and rigid.

As a basic material selected tubular pipe with a thickness of 4 mm as the main foundation. Then the framework of the original monokok converted into ladder frame which is widely used on trucks. In this framework grafted ladder-shaped frame dome of a tubular pipe of 4 mm by means welded and reinforced with bars like a space frame construction, "To be more rigid and safety," said Andre. 

Done that, just wrapped in a body - the concept combines the F1 and racing car group C - which is made of metal, fiberglass and is combined with carbon. To cover constructed onepiece made of metal. Bodi is then bonded to the chassis using bolts. 

For the legs, original sokbreker converted into transverse vertical model. However, other components such as tie rod, ball joint or tie rod still wear long original Genio. "Other than the three earlier components, all made repeated use of carbon materials," explains Andre. 

Replacement carbon also get to the swing arm whose shape is adjusted by following the increased width of the wheel axis. Sokbreker front mounted with a tilt angle of 45 degrees, the construction is deliberately made hard to carry electric motors and batteries weighing up to 250 kg.

Coilover deliberately used in order to remain stable when a high speed. The options that are specific aftermarket coilover Genio, but all of a replaced with a view to strength sokbreker better. 

'm Back, deliberately contrived more tender. Therefore, the angle of sokbreker played, but not serebah the front. Stand mounting sokbreker any support, said Andre had dikastem repeated in order to remain rigid.

Regarding the driving force, Andre convert from gasoline to electric machines (use 3-phase AC Induction Motor), in collaboration with LIPI. Voltage of 96 volts required by the current supply 550 amperes. energy produced 52 HP at 3000 rpm. To charge the battery takes 4-5 hours until full.

Toyota Yaris

If standard forms such as the Toyota Yaris have Andre Mulyadi, Custom Built signals boss workshop in Bandung, West Java, it is not impossible hatachback mainstay of PT Toyota Astra Motor is - at least - could match its main competitor in the domestic market. A four-door Yaris has been modified to be two doors (kupe) for the benefit of competition in the final event "Yaris Show Off (YSO) 2010". As a result, Andre's work was crowned as King Yaris Yaris Show Off. 

Remarkably, Andre admitted the process is no more than 14 days with a concept almost perfectly and fit the theme of "all about fun". Sector exterior is the highest rating element, so build this car refers to the regulation and themes. "Hence, changes to the body, paint and body kit became the main concentration," commented Andre. 
Pillar B to change the shape cut from four to two doors in a way rewind pillar B and lengthen the front door. Changes that first appeared in the arena YSO. 

Thus, the rear door removed, and then calculated to make a point of reinforcing stake body for the car body is not twisted when the pillar B cut. Point stake body mounted amplifier starting from the bottom of the steering column to column C. 

After the pillars removed, following which the doors removed and cut traffic system is two parts (cut the middle). Continues, the middle part is connected with a galvanized plate as wide as 26 cm. Position B pillar width adapted to the new door. 

Bumper To the body, according to Andre the concept a sporty body kit with 3-piece aimed at super-precision and detail. To the front is designed into 3 parts (3-piece) aims to pursue detail at each corner. The top and middle of using FRP materials. Who's lips the bottom of the carbon fiber. 

Problem paint are carefully selected and precisely according to place of fun. Finally, the choice of the blue from Sikkens. He said, actually made like a candy color tones are given a little pigman pearl white, then on it was given xirallic purple. The goal, to be more shinny.

Innovation through paint tribal body art done by hand including Fahmi also a breakthrough in YSO. Volk Racing TE37 Rims made more eye catching by combining Mansory flouroscent blue and yellow to green on the lips. 

When looking interior, four passengers changed to a single seat (the driver). Here Andre admitted to follow a fun theme, "We're driving this car is really fun," he said.

In the cabin, there are strong points, namely Yaris Intelligent Systems (YIS) in the form assembly similar computer in the car PC that daisambung on touch screen monitor.Then, equipped with a touch pad called the num lock pad danUSB ports. Andre claimed that the YIS got in the car wifi.

Trends Car

Trends in car body sticker application re-erupted after a long vacuum. The colorscolorful and cheerful graphics will be the trend in rabbits. "The colors pop art is also going to boom. Now more expressive,"said Arwin Sunarto from Wien's Sticker outlets inKedoya, West Jakarta.

For graphics, patterns such as water splashes on the Toyota Yaris Nurfitri property.Likewise graphic graphic-style urban abstract art could be a new breakthrough.Moreover, if the color of a dark car, keep graphics combined ngejreng urban color art.The result, exceptional.

If you want a minimalist, can also play the details of color. For example, when a blackbody doff, so harmonious if lip wheels (crossbar also black) was given a yellow or redaccent striping. Similar color can be applied to parts of the small dimension, such asmirror or a lip spoiler.

According to Arwin, full body sticker trend is not stale and there are still many who wearfull body black matte. Superimposed cost around $ 3.5 million to $ 6.5 million withconstruction period of 4 days. "Depending on the level of difficulty and the area of ​​the car," said Arwin.

Jona Jona than Autodesign see any use of bright colors, especially for the flow of racing.However, he said, should be combined with color car. For example, if a blue body, canbe combined as yellow or black, combined with yellow striping.

Another with Namura Yan Willy from West Jakarta. Trends 2011 can cheat stickerdesigns are emerging in the Japanese anime or imitate the style of cars drifting.

Yamaha Scorpio Hybrid

In Jakarta there are now Yamaha Scorpio hybrid, belonging Reindra. But, not a realhybrid, only the result of modification of the concept IZH diconteknya Hybrid graffiti KhanIgor from Russia. She asked the home modifications such as G2C for Scorpionya made​​motorcycle concept.

Wardoyo, G2C approve boss because he himself had long had such a designconcept, but there are no customers who want such overhauled. Although the process isnot easy to admit recently viewed the graffiti. Fortunately, the materials using a plate.

Preliminary plots of the gas tank and side cover body created as closely as possibleusing a plate 0.8 mm. "So, baseball is too heavy,"said Ward. Before the plate is cutonce malnya made ​​from cardboard.

The most unique design appears on the front suspension because Igor mengnambilidea of a production motorcycle IZH 1929. So, like it was closed to the plate and thecondom slipped off the projector lamp on the left and right.

So that the bottom of the machine is more contained, fitted engine guard with the designgood. Model, nearly shut down the crankcase. "If at first glance, the designs such as one with the installation of two exhaust," said Ward.

Another difference with the work of Igor, looking at the rear suspension. If Igor had aquasi-double, Ward turn it into a single, but the rear body remains the same. Change the rear lights, it relies on a Yamaha Scorpio Jupiter Z.

Another advantage, the motor is equipped with a navigation system installed monitorsGarmin GPS Nuvi type attached to the handlebars. Standard speedometer was replaced with a Yamaha Byson.

Kawasaki Ninja 1000

Launched a new 1000 Kawasaki Ninja blend designed for touring, but with a fierceengine performance. Moge base is used from the Z1000 with a new naked model was launched late 2010. Some of the changes and development are given in Ninja 1000.

The most striking changes of the new Ninja 100 looks on the fairing. The design blends, ranging from headlights to shut down the engine, which combined with the vent. Whilethe model Z1000, fairing own lights, then under a separate tank with a closedcrankcase. Or more precisely, the model is somewhat half-naked.

So is the gas tank. Although the model is almost the same, but the power muatnya 19liter, 4 liters more than Z1000. With that much capacity tank can travel a distance of 300km, even when the test 250 km - because the fuel consumption of 7.5 liters per 100 km.More economical than his brother who 9 liters per 100 km.

In fact, capacity is still the same 1043 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4 cylinder in line andhave the power 133HP at 9600 rpm with a torque of 110 Nm at 7800 rpm. Including fuel system is still using 38 mm Keihin carburetors.

Only, rear sprocket minus four teeth in order to power the engine can be obtained at low rpm (revolutions under fierce). Coupled with a smooth open gas cap, it helps fuel economy.

Ninja 1000 which has a weight of 231 kg was slim due to the knee can be sealedfairing. Overall, the bike feels very nimble and small. Design the seat support rider forlong-distance touring. Moreover, the rate freeze systems are equipped with ABS, itpetrified when braking suddenly.

Being the instrument panel is taken from the model ZX-6R and very helpful to travelturing. Especially with the addition of a computer is a nice touch as a touring bike. Ninja 1000 price Rp148 million more.

Lancer Evo X

One of the homes in America are quite popular modification AMS performace (AMSP)has memermak Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, which later changed its name to MitsubishiAMS 900X. In terms of appearance no one extreme to the body, except the use of rear wing and front spoiler are frightening.

So, why is number 900? What does he mean? This figure indicates that the Evo Xenergy stored in the engine capacity of 2.2 liters 900HP. Can be jumped dramatically tomuch for AMS because it provides a special package for the Evo X.

The part that was replaced in the heart pacemaker Evo X as head studs, pistonspecifications JE, Kelford cams, per valve and piston rod Manlley I-Beam. In addition,there GT900X turbocharger kits V-band using a Tial 44 mm wastegate, whose condition is equivalent to the exhaust system Racing Series.

Not only that, any new system intercoolernya, including fuel line system. Withreplacement, the maximum power produced 900 HP.

Outside the engine innards, in a special package, including a new clutch of strength as well as with shifter bushings, engine mounting kit of materials polyurethene. And theaftermarket package is suitable for spec Evo marketed in the U.S., Japan's domesticand European.

In a press release, AMS Performance stated that the package AMS900X for Evo X is asolution for those who are fond of speed. Power terdongkrak three times the standard,thus making the sedan into a super car. Power 900 HP is the highest for the Evo X.
