Billet Grilles

T-REX BILLET GRILLES.  When it comes to manufacturing a quality product, it starts in the design department but it doesn't end there. Billet Grilles start with solid stock of aircraft quality T-5 or T-6 billet aluminum rather than extruded aluminum as used by some competitors. The stock is cut to length and then shaped to its contour. Each grille is then hand assembled into a custom jig and welded with a process called "T.I.G." to ensure a strong and clean weld.

Billet Grille

Chevy Tahoe Grille
There are many ways to reinvigorate the appearance of a vehicle, be it a truck, van, car or SUV. With the emergence of many online auto parts and accessories suppliers today, it is extremely easy to find styling accessories that can be installed in vehicles; and for the rich, buying any one of them can be done even without giving the purchase much thought. Now, if you are not one of these rich vehicle owners, you must be careful with the auto accessories you will buy. You surely wouldn’t want to end up purchasing a very expensive styling accessory just to discover that it can do very little to enhance the appearance of your vehicle.
For vehicle owners with a tight budget yet want to enhance the style of their vehicles, selecting a styling accessory that is simple but has the ability to make their vehicle look different is highly recommended. One of those accessories that meet these characteristics is the billet grille. Billet grilles may not be the most affordable custom grille insert you can find from online auto parts sources today, but having them in your vehicle can surely refresh its appearance. With a billet grille alone, you can already make your vehicle an eye-catcher.
Billet grilles are custom grille inserts that may be used to cover or to replace the existing or the stock grille insert of a vehicle. As their name imply, billet grills are machined from a single piece of billet. The most popular billet material used in the manufacture of billet grilles is billet aluminum, although it is not unusual for one to find billet grilles made from stainless steel or ABS plastic. But from whatever billet material they are made from, they are guaranteed to be stronger than custom grille inserts that have been cast or forged.
There are two general types of billet grilles available in the automotive parts market today: the bolt-over type and the replacement type. Bolt-over billet grilles are easier to install, since they would simply snap on the existing grille insert with the use of hidden bolts, clamps and brackets. Replacement billet grilles, on the other hand, would require the removal of the existing insert, add to that some drilling and cutting. This added installation procedures, however, are worth the trouble since replacement billet grilles offer a rather seamless integration with the vehicle’s front fascia.

Buick Unveils Invicta concept

Cadillac Accessories
NEW YORK–General Motors Corp.'s Buick division hopes to build on its design-led resurgence – epitomized by the elegant Buick Enclave crossover – with a new concept vehicle and new ads starring golfer Tiger Woods.

Ed Welburn, GM's vice-president of global design, said Tuesday that the new concept, the Invicta, will debut next month at the Beijing Auto Show. Welburn only showed a broad outline of the vehicle's design, but said it builds on the sweeping styling and classic waterfall grille of the Buick Riviera concept coupe, which was unveiled last year at the Shanghai Auto Show.

Welburn said the Invicta will show even more clearly than the Riviera the design direction of new Buick vehicles. He also hinted that the Invicta could signal the entry of a coupe in Buick's lineup, although he said the aerodynamic design would work equally well for a sedan.

The Invicta, like the Riviera, was developed jointly by GM design teams in North America and Shanghai. Buick is GM's most popular brand in China, with domestic sales of 332,115 vehicles in 2007, up nine per cent from the year before. The brand is especially popular with Chinese executives, which is one reason for upgrades that have been made in Buick's interiors.

Buick also showed a new television ad that will debut nationwide this week starring Woods, a longtime Buick pitchman. In the ad, Woods is shown hitting paint-filled golf balls onto a canvas, creating a Jackson Pollock-like work of art.

Buick plans to auction off three of the canvases Woods created starting in June at the Buick Open golf tournament. The money will go to charity.

Senate sends big spending bill to Bush to sign

WASHINGTON - Automakers gained $25 billion in taxpayer-subsidized loans and oil companies won elimination of a long-standing ban on drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as the Senate passed a sprawling spending bill Saturday. ADVERTISEMENT
 


The 78-12 vote sent the $634 billion measure to President Bush, who was expected to sign it even though it spends more money and contains more pet projects than he would have liked.

The measure is needed to keep the government operating beyond the current budget year, which ends Tuesday. As a result, the legislation is one of the few bills this election year that simply must pass. Bush's signature would mean Congress could avoid a lame-duck session after the Nov. 4 election.

White House spokesman Tony Fratto said the bill "stands as a reminder of the failure of the Democratic Congress to fund the government in regular order." But, he said, it "puts the United States one step closer to ending our dependence on foreign sources of energy" by lifting the offshore drilling ban and opening up huge reserves of oil shale in the West.

The Pentagon is in line for a record budget. In addition to $70 billion approved this summer for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Defense Department would receive $488 billion, a 6 percent increase. The spending bill also offers aid to victims of flooding in the Midwest and recent hurricanes across the Gulf Coast.

Such a huge bill usually would dominate the end-of-session agenda on Capitol Hill. But it went below the radar screen because attention focused on the congressional bailout of Wall Street.

The measure settles dozens of battles that have brewed for months between the Democrats who run Congress and the White House and its GOP allies.

The administration won approval of the defense budget. Democrats wrested concessions from the White House on $23 billion for disaster-ravaged states, a doubling of low-income heating subsidies, and smaller spending items such as $24 million more for food shipments to the elderly.

The loan package for automakers would reward them with $25 billion in below-market loans, costing taxpayers $7.5 billion to subsidize the retooling of plants and development of technologies to help U.S. carmakers to build cleaner, more fuel efficient cars. Companies would not have to begin repaying the loans for five years, drawing objections from Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who predicted they would return for more help when the money is due.

Republicans made ending the coastal drilling ban a central campaign issue this summer as $4-plus per gallon gasoline stoked voter anger and turned public opinion in favor of more exploration.

The action does not mean drilling is imminent and still leaves the oil-rich eastern Gulf of Mexico off limits. But it could set the stage for the government to offer leases in some Atlantic federal waters as early as 2011.

Also in the bill is money to avert a shortfall in Pell college aid grants and solve problems in the Women, Infants and Children program delivering healthy foods to the poor.

In addition to the Pentagon's budget, there is $40 billion for the Homeland Security Department and $73 billion for veterans' programs and military base construction projects. Combined with the Defense Department's spending, that amounts to about 60 percent of the budget work Congress must pass each year.

Democrats came under criticism from the GOP for short-circuiting the normal process for a spending bill after it became clear that Republicans would force difficult votes on the drilling ban.

Democrats also wanted to avoid an election-year clash with Bush that would have played in his favor. They are willing to take their chances that Democrat Barack Obama will be elected president in November and permit increases for scores of programs squeezed by Bush each year.

Bush had threatened to veto bills that did not cut the number and cost of pet projects in half or cause agency operating budgets to exceed his request. Democrats ignored the edict as they drafted the plan and the White House has apparently backed down.

Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group, discovered 2,322 pet projects totaling $6.6 billion. That included 2,025 in the defense portion alone that cost a total of $4.9 billion. Critics of such projects are likely to discover numerous examples of links to lobbyists and campaign contributions.

2006 Hummer H1 Alpha - Car News

Dodge Magnum grills
The Hummer H1, the father of the brand and the SUV made famous by the governator of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and by a couple of land wars in Iraq, will no longer be available to the public after this year. Sales of the ultra-wide, off-road-ready truck have faded to a trickle despite a recent upgrade to GM's 300-hp Duramax turbo-diesel. Although this original and most iconic Hummer is departing, the brand will continue to sell its H1-inspired SUVs — the H2 and H3. AM General, the company that builds the H1 for both the military and GM, will use the excess capacity to build more military-spec H1s.

Top 10 Most Beautiful Cars for 2009 - Feature

dash kits
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.” —John Keats

Beauty, indeed, is a powerful thing. Specific though it may be to the observer, to each one of us, beauty has an intoxicating power that affects our judgment, blinds us to shortcomings, and, in many cases, provokes lust.

Troll the lawn of any major concours d’élégance, and you’ll see that old Johnny was right on the money. A beautiful car is a thing to be savored, treasured, and preserved. Why else would people display their cars on the concours if not for the flowing beauty of their sheetmetal? Why else would we sink so much time, effort, and money into an inanimate object if it didn’t look back at us with such a wanton, animate gaze?
quality dash kits

For a great many of us, a beautiful car planted the seeds for a lifelong addiction to all things automotive, and these 10 cars are bound to incite a few automotive addictions of their own. They are the leggy supermodels of the auto industry, cars that make their first impression with exceeding beauty (save the first pair, which are a different sort of lovely), and for the purposes of this story, that’s all that matters. Of course, there are many other cars that can be considered stunning, hot, cool, eye-catching, alluring, or any manner of highly suggestive descriptor, but few can be considered timelessly beautiful as Keats might define it. These 10 are.

AU Test Drive: 2008 Subaru Outback

Cadillac Escalade

After some time ago I had the chance to drive the Outback, now I got another car from Subaru for test drive, the new Forester. I really liked the Outback and I was expecting even more from the Forester, because I heard a lot of people saying it’s a great car. So, after I picked up the car from the dealer I decided to head to a very interesting location, the Mud Volcanoes, because I had the chance to check out the car both on highway and off-road.

The Forester’s exterior looks great. I really hated the previous generation, with that large wagon look. The interior is much more ’spartan’ than the Outback’s. It’s true that I had the top-of-the-line Outback and a cheaper Forester, but still, I didn’t like it very much. The dashboard is ok, the buttons are ok but the instrument panel sucks (looks like they’ve jut put sticker there and not real instruments, looks really cheap). Plus that it’s obvious the car was created for off-road.

Cadillac CTC
The move to greener motoring continues unabashed with the latest news coming from Honda that it will preview its Insight hybrid with a concept version at next month's Paris Show.

Honda openly declares that the five-door Insight will be the cheapest hybrid on sale and hence hopes to sell 200,000 examples a year around the world.

Technical details will be announced in Paris, though it's clear that the Insight will be a smaller car than the current Honda Civic Hybrid.




 Despite that, there is seating for five in the Insight, with its control unit and battery mounted below the boot at the rear to maximise practicality.

The new Insight takes its name from Honda's pioneering two-seat coupé, which was the very first hybrid car on sale in Europe. Honda also has a new hybrid coupé, based on the CR-Z concept, planned for production in the next few years.

Though the car on display in Paris is being tagged a concept, it will be very close to the finished article, which will go on sale early in 2009. Prices have yet to be announced.

Mighty Mini

nice dash kit
Introduction
People love personalising their Minis, and there's now more choice than ever with the John Cooper Works Tuning kit to boost performance of the Cooper S.
What are its rivals?
The Mini transcends the usual categorisation when it comes to rivals; it's quite possible owners will have traded in anything from a supermini to a supercar such is the breadth of the Mini's appeal. However, as a more specialist model this John Cooper Works Tuning Kit car is likely to appeal to a fairly hardcore driving audience. Obvious direct rivals include cars like the Renaultsport Clio Cup and Vauxhall's VXR Corsa with 888 additions. Go daft with the options and you can count cars like the Golf GTI, Civic Type-R and a host of other larger hot hatches as viable alternatives in the price charts.
How does it drive?
The John Cooper Works Tuning Kit turns the already rapid Cooper S into a far more feisty proposition. Sixty two miles per hour arrives in just 6.8 seconds and if you've got a track or autobahn handy it'll keep on accelerating until you reach 144mph. The performance increases are thanks to the JCW Tuning kit hiking the bhp from 172bhp to 192bhp, torque also increasing. That's a pretty impressive bhp figure when you consider the Mini is powered by a 1.6-litre turbo engine. Don't confuse this aftermarket kit with the soon-to-be-launched Mini John Cooper Works, that car will boast an even lofty 208bhp and £20,000+ price tag.

Like all Minis the JCW kit equipped Cooper S is a real joy to drive, the boost in power only adding to the enjoyment. The steering is quick and accurate, the engine hugely willing and the handling pin sharp and highly entertaining. Grip levels are high, and the brakes will take all the punishment you can throw at them. Pressing the Sport button sharpens up the responses even further, with even quicker throttle response and altered steering weighting. In short, it's an even more enjoyable Cooper S, which means it's a real grin machine.

What's impressive?

The Mini feels beautifully built, giving it a real quality feel. Even though the Mini has been around for ages now it's unlikely you'll ever tire of it its cheeky good looks. If the rorty exhaust note from the sports exhaust isn't enough to let those around you know this isn't an ordinary Cooper then the additional John Cooper Works badging should leave them in no doubt; those wanting an even more dramatic looking S are able to option a number of styling accessories inside and out. It's this ability to personalise the Mini that undoubtedly appeals to many owners. But with the Cooper S JCW Tuning Kit it's the driving experience that really impresses, the little hot hatch punching hard and thrilling with responsive engine performance and tidy handling.

What's not?

You pay for that sporting ability with a sometimes uncompromising ride, bumpy roads causing the Cooper S to bounce about a fair bit. That sports exhaust can get intrusive on longer journeys, and drive it as it begs to be - hard - and you'll be stopping at the fuel pumps alarmingly frequently; even with it's clever stop-start EfficientDynamics fuel-saving technology. Like all Minis space inside is something of an issue; there's not much of it. The boot is miniscule, and forget sitting in the back unless the driver and front passenger are anywhere near average height. The huge central speedometer looks a bit silly, and isn't that handy to look at and prone to reflections - leaving you to use the digital one on the rev-counter most of the time. Similarly the stereo isn't the most intuitive to use, either.

Should I buy one?

As much as we enjoyed the Mini Cooper S with the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit when we looked at the specific spec sheet we discovered our test car cost a whopping £20,225. That's by no means the most we've heard people have paid for their Mini, but it's still a big pile of money. Of that only £1095 is made up of the tuning kit, the majority of the rest of that taken up with a Chili pack at £2020 - it including air conditioning. Really, with the standard car costing £16,000 cooled air should be standard. The TLC service pack makes ownership inexpensive though, it coving serving costs for up to five years or 50,000 miles. We'd certainly put it on our list to drive if we wanted something to make us smile on the daily commute or back road thrash, but there are cheaper choices out there that thrill just as much.

Japan plugs in electric cars

billet grills
Japanese drivers will be among the first in the world to be able to plug their cars in to charge at the side of the road.
Hundreds of quick charge points are being built in and around Tokyo, Tokyo Electric Power developing a recharging station that should be able to quick charge electrically powered cars.
A five minute stop would be enough for a 40km (25 mile) charge, with ten minutes enough to deliver 60kms (37 miles) worth of power - plenty of range for typical commuter journeys.
The infrastructure is being implemented to charge electric vehicles offered by Japan's mainstream manufacturers, Mitsubishi and Subaru due to introduce plug-in vehicles within the next 12 months.
Japan hopes to see at least 3,000 electric cars on its streets within the next five years, the government encouraging reduced parking costs, cheaper financing an even lower insurance for early adopters of electric vehicles.
The charging stations will be positioned prominently in car parks, supermarkets and restaurants and will provide power to users for free.
The charging points are among many steps in Japan's aim to dramatically reduce its CO2 emissions, the country aiming to have half of all vehicles alternatively powered by 2010.
The electric cars on offer to Japanese customers include Mitsubishi's MiEV, Mitsubishi UK lobbying its Japanese parent hard to bring the electric city car to Great Britain.

New road tax set to devalue used cars

Dash kits 
Industry car value experts, CAP and Parkers, have criticised the government for its confirmed retrospective tax increases, which could see the value of used cars drop by as much as £1,000.

There is no dispute with taxing new car buyers for choosing a high polluting vehicle, but the new scheme has been widely condemned for penalising buyers for decisions made in the past.

Not only will owners of older polluting cars suffer from a significant increase in vehicle excise duty, but they could also find that their cars are completely unsellable, with owners of cars bought between 2001 and 2006 predicted to see total loss in value in the region of £800 million.

Worst hit will be large automatic family cars - even though they are probably owned by poorer drivers without the resources to trade-in their vehicles for cleaner and greener alternatives.

When the new scheme was originally discussed, Prime Minister Gordon Brown suggested that the majority of car owners would be better off, but figures now indicate that this was a misleading statement, and as many as 80% of drivers could be penalised.

2008 Cadillac XLR-V Review

Introduction. Cadillac's efforts to re-establish itself among the world's best automakers have met with encouraging results. Recent years have seen a return to rear-wheel drive and, as a result, two solid-performing sport sedans, a surprisingly athletic crossover SUV and the image-building XLR roadster. However, Cadillac decided its intent to compete with the top European brands would only be clear if it built a wickedly fast version of its highest offering -- one with blistering performance, head-turning looks and maybe a six-figure price to match.
As you begin to read through this informative article, give each point a chance to sink in before you move on to the next.
record the Cadillac XLR-V.As in Cadillac's other V-sequence offerings, the "V" in 2008 Cadillac XLR-V intimates a generous ration of velocity-biased hardware. Under the cover sits a hand-built 4.4-liter V8 that's been supercharged to the change of 443 horsevigor. It's complemented by firmer suspension tuning and upgraded brakes. Visual cues like 19-creep wheels, a tangle framework and patio exhaust tips visibly intimate that this is no normal XLR. For the most part, the Corvette-based XLR-V delivers on its performance promises. Its acceleration will place some luxury roadsters behind, and the roadster's gaunt sculpt still looks distinctive.
However, some aspects of the drive place us cold, such as the formless steering and managing that, while impressive, fails to quantity up to the extraordinarily high values of this classify. We also have diverse feelings about the XLR-V's interior. Some supplies are appropriately precious, yet others look somewhat common, and the ring doesn't fit drivers of all heights.Competition in this classify includes such accomplished roadsters as the Mercedes SL-group, Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Jaguar XKR, as well as the four-seat BMW M6 convertible. Of these, the Porsche offers the most primitive drive; the Mercedes, the best combination of luxury, method and performance, specifically in AMG form.

Buy Cadillac from Reservoir Dogs

billet grills
Fans of Reservoir Dogs have the chance to own a big piece of the film's memorabilia as Mr Blond's Cadillac is up for sale.

The 1966 Cadillac DeVille is up for grabs in an online auction and the lucky buyer also gets to meet Michael Madsen, who played the psychopathic Mr Blond.

Madsen will sign the car anywhere the auction winner wants to prove that it was his car.

The Caddy was bought by Madsen before Reservoir Dogs was filmed and he volunteered to use it as Mr Blond's transport.

After the film, the car then sat in a garage for 14 years and now Madsen has decided to sell.

The car has been completely refurbished and Madsen will even include a DVD of Reservoir Dogs, though the kidnapped policeman in the boot has now been removed.

The handbook Mustang V-6 is rated at 17/26 mpg.shirk went out and bent one of the most retro car invents that the business has seen, and man did it hit the nail on the move with the outboundary look.
The 2008 shirk Challenger debuted at the 2008 Chicago sedan Show, but last week was the first time I had a fortune to take it out for a spin on the streets. This car gets better-looking every time I see it. Its ranks are stretch out of 1970, from the pinched fencing and curved movelights to the slender spoiler and thick-tail reverse. The rear column slant frames the small, thick front skylight, and the low (and very tall) bumpers make the back and front of the car stretch on evermore. My only beef? The interior is passable but sweet mediocre.
In the beginning of this article, we went over the basics. Now, we will look at this topic a little more in-depth.
Too much hard false on the dash and not enough metal and firewood. Im also amazed at the extent of the front seats and their boundary bolsters. But disregard about the inboundary.

Dodge Expects V-6 to Power Almost Half of Challengers. 1.

car lights
Spurred by high gas prices, Dodge unexpectedly sped the introduction of a V-6 version of the 2009 Challenger, a model that could account for 40% or more of Challenger sales. The Challenger SE, powered by a 3.5-liter V-6, joined the much-anticipated 2009 Challenger R/T which uses a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 on stage at the New York auto show. Come fall 2008, those versions will join the current Challenger SRT8, which has a 6.1-liter version of the Hemi V-8 and is the sole trim level available as a 2008. While Dodge expects the R/T trim level to be the volume seller, Bryan Zvibelman, Chrysler Group's manager of car, minivan and truck product communications, says the model's appeal is broad enough to attract buyers who are less interested in speed.

This article will take a beginners look at this interesting subject. It will give you the information that you need to know most.

"The look of the car is a big part of its appeal, and people will be jovial to have that for just over $20,000," he said. That bumpy worth refers to the foot SE trim level; the SRT8 stickers for $37,320.Zvibelman said he expects V-6 Challenger sales to pursue the style, which is most candidly illustrated by the Ford Mustang. The V-6-powered foot Mustang historically has comprised 40% of sales, with the settle opting for the V-8-powered GT and other elite editions footd on it, such as the Mach 1 and Bullitt.

Things You Won't See at the LA Auto Show

hid kits
The typical routine for covering an auto show goes something like this:
Fly to the destination
Stuff a dirty cab with editors, photographers, and video producers along with all of their gear and carry-on luggage filled with wrinkled suits
Arrive at a hotel, which is really just a place to work, rest for a few hours, work, shower, and work
Prepare for the following day's debuts
Sleep for a few hours
Grab a quick morning shower, followed by another dirty ride to the [enter name here] Convention Center
Attend press conference after press conference, bumping and sometimes shoving your colleagues to get a better view of the stage or closer to that prized press kit, and subsequently dash to the media room (on the other end of the building, up a broken escalator and past a security guard who just has to see your special wrist band each and every time you enter), where you will perform a brain dump of all vehicle-related information you've just absorbed, go through countless steps to get the article onto the interwebs, and then fight 100 journalists for one of 15 mini sandwiches quietly delivered to the far end of the room. Why? Cuz they're free.

Repeat all the steps above

As you might've guessed, there are not a lot of opportunities to "see the city," "take in the surroundings," or "taste the local culture." In the midst of auto show season, with hotels and convention centers mirroring the last, it can actually become difficult to remember where exactly you are. Unless, that is, you're attending the Chicago Auto Show, where the wind whips you like a caffeinated jockey, the forecast calls for snow measured in feet, the cold air plays this little game called frostbite, and the show floor is decorated with plow trucks and wreckers. But come on, people -- this is Chicago. Those aren't show cars, they're a contingency plan.
Still, I can't wait for day two…and more free food. Did I hear something about cake?

New 2007 Dodge Magnum

A carry-over from 2006, the Magnum is a four-door five-passenger family sport wagon offered in four trim levels. The SE features a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 190 horsepower, the SXT with a 3.5-liter V6 that outputs 250 horsepower, the RT with a 5.7-liter V8 rated at 340 horsepower, or the SRT8 that has a powerful 6.1-liter V8 with 425 horsepower and a five-speed automatic transmission. When the Dodge Magnum first appeared in model year 2005, it did more than give Chrysler's sales figures a boost: It made station wagons hip. It looked cool and, with the available V8 engines, performed like a hot rod from a bygone era. Reviewers loved it -- and they still do. "[T]he Magnum is a bona fide triple threat," says Automobile Magazine. "[U]tilitarian, good looking, and fine driving." The low-end SE trim, with a 2.7-liter V6 engine that reviewers find seriously underpowered, invites sneers from automotive writers, but the SRT8, with its 6.1-liter Hemi V8, has reviewers comparing it to classic 1950s hot rods. "SRT8 models are muscle cars," says Consumer Guide. It's the exterior styling that really makes reviewers swoon, though. "The Magnum is one of the most attractive cars on the road," says the Detroit Free Press -- "thoroughly modern but with a tapering roof line that hints at custom hot rods without reducing headroom." All other models come standard with a four-speed automatic. In addition the SXT and RT can be ordered with all-wheel-drive configuration.

How to Build a Hydrogen Generator to Turn Your Car Into a Water Burning Hybrid

car spoilers

Almost a century ago the technology was uncovered that allowed someone to take ordinary water, and by applying a small voltage to it, separate the water molecule into a burnable gas called HHO, or Brown's gas. http://MylaMadson.com/hybrid1

For decades, folks just like you and I have been building their own hydrogen generators to turn their cars into water burning hybrids. The technology works, it is easy to duplicate, and best of all, you can build your own hydrogen generator for under $65.

Sound impossible? Well it isn't. And I should know, my daughter and built our own hydrogen generator over the course of a single weekend, with parts we were able to find locally and with just a couple of common household tools we found out in the garage.

If a single mom with limited time on her hands and even less mechanical ability can do it, anyone can!

So, how does one go about building their own hydrogen generator to power their car on water and drastically increase their gas mileage? Glad you asked.

First and foremost you need to get you a good, easy to follow guide. There are many available on the Internet but they all follow the same theory that if you apply electricity to water you can, through electrolysis, pull the water molecules apart to create a burnable gas that you then inject into the engine intake along with the gas you already use to create a much more efficient fuel source.

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Review. This may be the golden age of the full-size pickup. Indeed, it's impossible to buy a bad full-size pickup nowadays.

New SRT-10 typels, free in both patio Cab and recurring Cab typels for 2005, look like NASCAR Craftsman Trucks and run like battle cars, with stunning performance from their beast V10 engines and high-performance brakes and suspensions.

The Guinness Book of World report called the SRT-10 the greatest production pickup. The Ram has a likable traverse class, important on long living. It's greatly gliber than the earlier-generation Ram. Its rigid hulk minimizes path trembling. move uses hydroforming to create the physique. Instead of having to repair a bunch of running models together, hydroforming uses very-high water cogency to cogency the metal into smooth. This greatly rigid physique is a key module to the traverse and managing of the Ram. It tolerable move engineers to replan the Ram suspension and alter it closely, lacking having to work around a lot of hulk bend. dash kit review

Every year, auto manufacturers try and top one another with technologically advanced and designed concepts, and this year is no different. These concepts are typical windows to the future of upcoming production models, giving us insight as to the new trends in design and technology. Of course, the 2005 Tokyo Auto Show is no exception: from Audi to Toyota, manufacturers revealed new external designs as well as hybrid power train concepts at the show, which should be no surprise to anyone paying attention to new cars over the past few months. Thanks to rising fuel costs, it is no wonder that the Tokyo Auto Show was full of eco-green concepts. Below are a few of the vehicles that have brought something new to the table either in design, drive train ideas or both.

With an overall length of 146.6 inches and a wheelbase of just 95-inches, the Chrysler Akino is designed to transport five passengers in comfort. The Akino sports a single door on the drivers side and two opposing doors that open on the passenger side to aid ingress and egress. Named after the designer that envisioned it, the Akino uses both natural and recycled fabrics in addition to the use of bamboo flooring.
