Based on the functionality of vehicles daily, Aliong (31), representing the owner Rendy Gono are currently proceeding studies in Kuala Lumpur, menuturkan some changes that directly dibesutnya special event for 2008.
"For 2008 we are doing the addition in pengecatan, engine accessories, some made from carbon interior and most of the main terms of entertainment we are now more full than yesterday," said the man who daily work in the workshop this NX bit singkat.Dan indeed, the one that now looks quite prominent, in addition to some additional modifications, such as carbon bonnet custom, custom luggage, Veilside wing custom paint and carbon airbrush tribal gradation added, the surplus in the sector referred to the Audio modifikator as the main focus of the Civic jebolan young this year.
"The target we are now racing the same street NGEJAR audio mas," accuse him. And on the basis that Aliong also spend most time on the detail processing system entertainment device in the back seat of the total has changed functions.

- All V6s - all Normally Aspirated V6s feature a Variable Resonance Intake System (VRIS), the same concept as later used by Porsche on their 3.6 and Ferrari in much more sophisticated form on their V12. VRIS was first used by Mazda in their older 158bhp 2.0i-16 UK engine in 1989 and ensures the widest possible area under the torque curve rather than a purely headline peak figure. The VRIS efficiency contributes to the V6s noted low fuel consumption, with the 7500rpm (2.5) or 7800rpm (2.0) limits rarely being called upon, and averages of 27-29mpg (imperial) in urban driving and up to 32-36mpg (imperial) highway being the norm.
Engine Architecture
V6 engines are all-alloy DOHC 24V 60-degree-V6. A split-crankcase (as 911 flat-6) is used offering exceptional rigidity over traditional bearing-cap solutions and not only to high-rpm capability as proved in SuperTouring Car racing in up to 430-480bhp N/Aspirated form, but also reducing NVH data to set a benchmark in 1992 winning German engine awards. Bearings are four 4-bolt mains, with a further pair of bolts at each bearing section, key journals & bearings are oversized, bearings themselves are triple-layer heavy-duty spec. Crankshaft is forged, nitrided, triple-lapped, mirror finished. Piston squirters in upper bearing journals aid cooling. Exhaust valves are stainless steel. Pistons & rods are lightweight to reduce reciprocating mass, and the very short-stroke design aids longevity considerably. Piston skirts are Moly coated.
Piston & ring velocities are lower than those for the I4 engines. Quantitatively, the 2.5V6 Mean Piston Speed (MPS) is a very low 3170ft/min at redline and the 2.0I4 MPS is 3928ft/min at redline, the V6s very short stroke producing low crank angles thus minimising main & rod bearing load. For rings the 2.5V6 uses 1.5mm top ring allowing a Maximum Piston Acceleration (MPA) of 77,000ft/sec^2, yet the engine at redline experiencing an MPA of only 51,354ft/sec^2. The 2.0I4 uses a 1.17mm top ring allowing a Maximum Piston Acceleration (MPA) of 105,000ft/sec^2, with the engine at redline experiencing an MPA of 70,157ft/sec^2. Both engines have exceptional design margins, the V6 is particularly under-stressed even in KL-ZE form.

Mazda makes both piston and Wankel "rotary" engines. This page summarizes the various engine families and variations.
Contents
* 1 Piston Engines
o 1.1 V-twin
o 1.2 Straight-4
o 1.3 V6
* 2 Wankel engines
Piston Engines
Even though Mazda is better known for their Wankel "rotary" engines, the company has been manufacturing piston engines since the earliest years of the Toyo Kogyo company. Early on, they produced overhead cams, aluminum blocks, and an innovative block containing both the engine and transmission in one unit. This section summarizes piston engine developments. Note that Mazda has produced many piston engines, but only V-twin, straight-4, and V6 configurations, never a V8, straight-5, or V12!
[edit]
V-twin
* V-twin - Half-liter air-cooled V2 (1961-1963)
Straight-4
* OHV engines - 300 cc–1.2 L OHV I4 (1961–1974)
* xC engines - 1.0 L–1.8 L SOHC I4 (1965–1983)
* E family - 1.1 L–1.5 L SOHC I4 (1980–1986)
* F family - 1.8 L–2.3 L SOHC I4 (1979–1999)
* G family - 2.5 L–2.6 L I4 (1989–1999)
* B family - 1.3 L–1.8 L SOHC/DOHC I4 (1987–present)
* Z/MZ family - 1.25 L–2.3 L DOHC I4 (1995–present)
o MZI - Ford Zetec SE
o MZ-CD - Ford/PSA Duratorq
* Keicar engines - Suzuki-made I4
* Diesel - 1.4 L–4.6 L I4
* YF - 2.0 L I4 for Mazda Tribute
V6
Mazda has created three families of in-house V6 engines. Today, however, their primary engine is a Ford design.
* J family - 2.0 L–3.0 L 90° V6 (–1995)
* K family - 1.8 L–2.5 L 60° V6
* Diesel - 4.1 L–5.5 L ZB/ZC V6
* AJ/MZI - 2.5 L and 3.0 L V6 - The Mazda version of the Ford Duratec DOHC V6 is, of course, not a Mazda engine at all.
Wankel engines
Mazda is the only producer of successful Wankel engines, positioning them as a prime sports car powerplant. All of Mazda's Wankels are based on their first design of the 1960s, though there have been significant developments over the four decades since.
* Wankel family - 1.0 L-2.0 L Wankel (1967–present)
o 10A - 1.0 L (1967–1973)
o 10B - 1.0 L (1968–1972)
o 13A - 1.3 L (1970–1972)
o 12A - 1.1 L (1970–1985)

There are three types of modifications to the extreme, that is elegant, sport, and show car. The modified part is usually velg, body, interior, engine and leg-foot. As well as modifications that are usually extremely elegant, with a marked change velg greater Ince is 19, body to be more flat (short-Red), elegant interior, for example, where there is wine, luxurious sofa seats and sound system is expensive.
"For elegant, a modified car is usually the output of premium cars in Europe, because Europe's premium body larger and beautiful. Premium does not mean Japan can not be modified, could be! Peminatnya not only the level of premium cars such as Europe, "said the man who was born in Jakarta, 7 October 1978 this.
Enthusiasts elegant extreme modification is usually the well-established executive, age 35 years and above. "Cars have become a lifestyle for people like this. Cars represent the personality and achievement. The beautiful and expensive cost of modification, the higher the performance, "added Parin.
Speed Extreme Sport
Quite different from the elegant, modification extreme sport more spirited young. In addition to changing velg, tires, body, audio and seats, also dirombak engine, engine power so that the target of strong increases. Because the modification is not a sport only for appearance but also for sports reli.
That is the cause Derri Arfiandi, male graduate of the University of Trisakti this Honda Jazz reorganize its output in 2004 to become more extreme. "The theme of the modification is extreme racing style. So, I do full extreme modifications combined with the style car racing, "said Derri.
At the bottom of the tire and velg, Derri melangkapi Jazz with its velg 5Zigen 18 inches. While for the ban, Derri using Pirelli 285/35 18 (front) and Toyo 235/35 18 (rear). Audio, using the subwoofer Visonik 12 D22pc, subwoofer Visonik 10 pc D42, coaxial speaker Visionik 6 a set, coaxial speaker Visionik three sets, power Venom 4100 four-channel, four power Venom 460 channels, TV Indash Oris and TV Skplosont (front), TV 15 compact LCD (rear), Pioneer DVD head unit 5050 DVH, led lights, and custom Deromat reducer.
Previously, Derri never modify the car with the theme of nature. After feeling bored, he was an extreme change in the theme and style racing. The work is relatively short, about two months. The first car that he is a modified Honda City output in 1996. According to him, each car will be modified characters have difficulty itself. "Each car is not the same. I like Honda because of more flexible to be modified, "the story of this Japanese car fans.
It was delivered by similar Parin Budiman, most Japanese car production is suitable for extreme sports. Extreme sport tune most of the younger generation at this time, high school and college children, with age 17-25 years. Like most of the young car berkarakter sport can be a drag. "To have the car can run fast, equipment and accessories used equipment is light, as if the weight of the car can not be brought demon," added Parin.

In the January 16, 2009 edition of the Scottsdale Republic, Gary Bennett of Barrett-Jackson suggested that their auction "appears to be isolated with what else is going on in the world."
Oh, really?
Meanwhile, the rest of the country feels differently about the economy, and car nuts waited with baited breath to see how the auction - somewhat of a barometer of the hobby - would fare. The amount of cars at B-J were down by almost 200 cars, but Craig Jackson & Co. don't have reserves, so a sale was guaranteed . . . even if it was the seller buying his own car back.
The popular cars that mere mortals usually own, such as "blue collar" muscle cars (base 1968-72 GTOs and 383 Road Runners), were much fewer in numbers. Aside of GM bringing in some historical vehicles from their collection, the only force seemed to be the crème de la crème - Corvettes, Camaros, Shelbys and Mustangs, 1950s Chevys, hot rods, and Hemi and Six Pack Mopars. They were down, but not as severe as some of the lesser cars that dared show up.
There's no rhyme or reason why one car does well while another doesn't. Certainly there were some shockers (1968 Barracuda Formula S 383 for almost 70 grand?) but even some Hemis were having problems. Overall, though, the bubble is bursting, especially compared to 2006's peak or even last year's gala.

Overall, though, the bubble is bursting, especially compared to 2006's peak or even last year's gala.
