Is it a Car or an XBOX?

This is a concept car from Suzuki. The original car was made way back in ‘06, and is not made by some random Halo obsessed Xbox man-child with technical car modification prowess. Though I am sure someone out there has tried and failed. For more details and more importantly more photos please check out the source.

Hello Kitty Car Interior

This interior was unveiled at the international extreme auto show 08 in Thailand. There is definitely a girly feel to this interior. You can see that the steering wheel is the shape of a cat; which is a nice touch.

Alpine’s 2003 Honda Civic Si

All in all, Alpine spent over a quarter of a million dollars on this Civic. This is a car so littered with electronics it could only be described as unprecedented. The sticker price a cool $250,000.

Retro Interior

For those who turn there nose up at the flash modern interiors there is this retro interior for those who want to get back to the basics of the open road. I wouldn’t use this to impress the chicks; this is more for the ‘lone road warrior’.

Fluffy Cuddle Monster

This is an ideal car if you love a cuddle. If you feel lonely just pull over and hug the seat.

Bling Bling

I don’t know about anyone else but this car looks pretty un-comfy to me.

Swish Swosh!

Swiveling chairs, just what you need when travelling at 70mph, the ability to swivel 360 degrees to talk to your passengers.

Matt Kenseth wins rain-shortened Daytona 500

2009-02-17T23:02:00.001+07:00

By JENNA FRYER, AP Auto Racing Writer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Matt Kenseth drove from the back of the field to take the Daytona 500 lead minutes before the sky opened up, handing the former series champion his first victory in NASCAR's version of the Super Bowl.

Coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, Kenseth's bad luck followed him into Daytona International Speedway. He wrecked his primary car, had to go to a backup and started Sunday's race in last place.

But as rain closed in on the season-opening event, the field turned it up a notch — anticipating the race would not go the distance. Kenseth used a huge push from Kevin Harvick to pass Elliott Sadler with 54 laps to go. Caution came out moments later for an accident started by Paul Menard, and the rain that had been threatening all day finally arrived.

NASCAR stopped the race two laps later, and the cars were called to pit road. Some drivers climbed from their cars to await NASCAR's decision on whether to restart the race, but Kenseth sat patiently inside his parked Ford on pit road.

When NASCAR declared it over, the 2003 Cup champion tearfully climbed from his car to celebrate his victory, which snapped a 36-race winless streak. It was also the first Daytona 500 win for team owner Jack Roush.

"It's going to be really wet if I cry like a baby," the usually cool Kenseth said as he choked back tears. "I tell you what, after last year, winning a race means a lot to me."

Kevin Harvick, who used a push from Kenseth to win the 500 in 2007, finished second.

AJ Allmendinger, who had to race his way into the field in one of Thursday's qualifiers, finished third.

Clint Bowyer was fourth and Sadler was fifth, devastated he lost the lead moments before the rain stopped the race.

Here's an extreme car modification to combat the rising gas prices in the U.S. This mod will really cut down on trips to the pump, though you will need to start visiting the local feed store more often. One thing you will need to watch out for with this kind of set-up is going to be the exhaust issues, just so you’re aware. The other issue may be irate motorists who find themselves behind you — the Amish can certainly attest to this problem.

PowerBass L-6502 - Fullrange System Roundup

Taking A Listen To The PowerBass L-6502

Power Bass L-6502

MSRP: $89.95
PowerBass went the extra mile to make a set of speakers that really stands out. The first thing I noticed was my reflection in the polished black, advanced-injection Zirconium polypropylene cone. Flipping the driver over I caught an eyeful of the stamped steel basket that was brushed to look stainless and clearcoated for protection. It holds the PowerBass insignia in two of its legs, as does the rubber motor boot. Even the thick, high-gloss sticker at the rear of the motor is stylish. Impressive... so far.

The aluminum hard-dome tweeter sits on a static pole in the center of the driver. As a crossover, it uses a subpar electrolytic capacitor for a -6dB highpass while the woofer rolls off naturally. Interestingly, the woofer uses a 3-ohm voice coil, probably for efficiency reasons, so make sure your amplifier can handle the impedance if you're wiring multiples. Also be aware that the frame is of the 165mm variety so it may not drop into the factory speaker holes in some vehicles.

The manual is very thorough, but the illustrations were a little difficult to understand. The system comes with speaker grilles, wire, a cutout template, and a couple of stickers if you'd like to flaunt your PowerBass purchase.

Listening
Overall, I was rather pleased with the response of the L-6502's. Tonally, the system remained pretty linear throughout its usable frequency range, and its bass output was average. That alone is enough to satisfy most consumers. However, if you are, or aspire to be, an audiophile, there were some areas I felt could use some improvement. The pianos in Coldplay's "Clocks" seemed to upset the tweeters which would create a buzzing overtone to the notes. I also noted a bit of sibilance to Phil Collins' vocals, and less than perfect imaging. Each of these is likely related to the poor choice of tweeter crossover I mentioned prior. That being said, most of us don't fit the critical audiophile category, and I can only conclude that the PowerBass L-6502 is an excellent sounding set for the money.

Morel Integra Ovation XO 6 - Fullrange System Roundup

Taking A Listen To The Morel Integra Ovation XO 6.

Morel Integra Ovation XO 6

Unconventional Yet Stunning
MSRP: $599.95
Morel is to the mobile audio industry what Porsche is to the automotive market. It might seem like a bit of a stretch to compare these two brands, but when you look at the overall picture it's quite clear. Like Porsche, Morel has an expansive array of performance products to fit the needs of its customer, ranging from modestly priced to the extreme. Both companies also build products outside of the box, using less-than-conventional designs that yield stellar results. Yet regardless of price and design, both Porsche and Morel preserve signature traits in each of their products that make them stand out in their respected fields.

For this review, Morel sent a product that's certainly unconventional in mobile audio. The Integra Ovation XO 6 is what is referred to as a point source system. Although it could be viewed as a coaxial since each speaker consists of a tweeter and a woofer, and the similar attachment point of the tweeter placing it within the woofer's cone, point source speakers carry a fundamental difference. Whereas the tweeter in a coaxial speaker sits above the cone up on a standoff typically originating from the center of the woofer's voice coil, the tweeter in a point source speaker is recessed so that its diaphragm is aligned with the woofer cone, thereby creating a single point of origin for sound to be reproduced. This speaker alignment, along with a phase correct crossover, virtually eliminates time domain errors that are a byproduct of the speakers being offset from each other. In other words, the speakers perform as one transparent unit.

The Integra Ovation XO 6 is built on Morel's aluminum die-cast Uniflow basket used by many of the company's high-end components. Mechanical energy for the woofer is supplied by an internal hybrid motor structure employing a pair of neodymium magnets, used to motivate the oversized 2.1-inch aluminum Hexatech voice coil (honeycomb-shaped wire that reduces air gaps in the windings, thus increasing efficiency). The voice coil, via its aluminum former, attaches to a composite cellular fiber cone that's terminated at the edge by a high-loss rubber surround.

Seated within the leading edge of the woofer's voice coil former is the tweeter. It sports a 28mm (1.1-inch) Acuflex-coated soft dome and is powered by its own neodymium motor. Out front it employs a controlled dispersion cup surrounding the dome, which should help maintain phase linearity and control any negative interaction from the woofer cone (particularly while it plays lower frequencies).

Clarion SRQ1630R - Fullrange System Roundup

Clarion SRQ1630R

MSRP: $199.99
Taking it up a notch, Clarion enters the fray with a multi-axial 3-way system. Instead of a single tweeter sitting out front, the SRQ1630R uses a 3/4-inch silk-dome midrange and a 5/16-inch dome tweeter to complement the woofer. While the main driver is said to be a 6.5-incher, its large mounting flange requires it use a slightly smaller cone than others in this group. The cone is derived of TM-MIPP (titanium metallized mica-injected polypropylene), which gives it the look of brushed titanium. Holding everything together is a generic-looking stamped steel basket with multiple mounting holes that Clarion claims to be GM fit. Clarion also provides a pair of adapter plates designed to fit Chrysler vehicles, wire, and a pair of two-piece grilles (these can be mounted with or without the wire mesh) in case you decide to make your own mounting provisions.

The manual? Well, let's just say Clarion was nice enough to supply some information on the outside of the packing box, which includes speaker specs, a mounting template and a non-descript wiring diagram. The only paperwork you'll find inside pertains to the warranty and product registration.

Listening
I kicked off my listening with "Everybody" by Raul Midon and followed it up with Toni Braxton's "Shadowless." Being similar-both use only the vocalist and guitar(s)-it was no surprise that I noted the same compromises with each artist, resulting in their upper frequency range being too airy, and the guitars tended to be a bit bright sounding. However, with Coldplay, the piano had surprising realism, and the guitar and bass really came to life with volume, even if a little thin at times. I also found the bass transients to be good with tracks such as "Boxenkiller," and pretty much anything that had bangin' percussions. In general I wasn't floored by the tonal linearity of the system, but the SRQ1630R proved to have good clarity and substantial bass response. Above all, I didn't find myself fatigued after my listening session, a trait that speaks for itself. At $200, they're pushing the envelope between price and performance, so take a listen to them and others before you commit.

Steering wheel F-1

2009-01-23T01:55:00.000+07:00

History steering

As recently as 1992, the steering wheel on a Formula 1 car was a relatively plain, straightforward piece of equipment, round in shape, with a metal plate at the centre to attach it to the steering column, and generally no more than three buttons – one for selecting neutral, one for releasing liquid through a tube in the helmet for the driver to replenish his fluid levels and one for the radio.

The advent of complex electronic systems in Formula 1 throughout the 1990s changed all that. McLaren engineer John Barnard was the first to introduce this system and enabled Nigel Mansell to shift gears without having to move a hand away from the steering wheel. It was introduced as a lever system at the back of the steering wheel. A pull on the left paddle will shift one gear down while the right paddle shifts up in a similar way. This eliminates the possibility of a driver missing a gear, therefore increasing the smoothness and improving the timing of gearshifts. Together with the introduction of semi-automatic gearboxes, this was one of the most changing introductions in the history of Formula One, especially on the driver's side. Later on, when left foot braking was introduced into Formula One, the clutch pedal was removed and replaced by a fully automatic hydraulic clutch, activated when the driver shifts gears on the steering wheel.

Engine mapping, traction control and the advent of launch control programs that optimised the race start procedure all required various buttons and toggle switches to enable the driver to fine-tune his car’s settings while on-track. Modern Formula 1 steering wheels are also equipped with a further lever clutch lever which the driver can use to declutch when standing still, such as during a pitstop or in the gravel to keep the engine running.

Construction

Today, a steering wheel is a complex electronic device that allows the driver to control a vast amount of carsettings. The teams often assign one engineer that is responsible for its electronics and the design so that the drivers can use it comfortably. For that reason, today's handles of a steering wheel are anatomically formed and made of hard rubber that provides extra grip for the driver's hands. The main part of the wheel however is constructed, just like almost every car part, of carbon fibre to reduce its weight. The pieces used today have a pricetag of around € 23.000 each.

The manufacture of any part on a Formula 1 car is a complex process, and the steering wheel is no exception. Various lightweight materials are used for its production, including the before mentioned carbon fibre and rubber with aluminium, titanium, steel and plastic. A complete steering wheel can take approximately 100 hours to produce from start to finish.

With the average steering wheel controlling as many as 12 separate parameters on the car, there is a large number of components, buttons and switches that have to be fitted during the manufacturing process – some 120 separate items in all. Yet, despite the myriad of materials and parts that make up each completed wheel, the weight of the finished unit, as fitted to the car, is just 1.3 kg.

During the season, a minimum of five steering wheels is constructed for each of the team’s two race drivers. Of these, three remain with the race team while two are held with the test team. In addition, on average two steering wheels have to be produced for each regular testdriver. Some teams, despite the cost of a steering wheel, remove the steering wheel from the car after a race win to put it in the team's collection as a memory to the win.

As imposed by FIA regulations, the steering wheel must be fitted with a quick release mechanism operated by pulling a concentric flange installed on the steering column behind the wheel.

the dark knight replica

Believe it or not, this staggering working replica of Batman’s current generation Batmobile Tumbler (see video here) was built from scratch in a house garage by Bob Dullam. Even more impressive is the fact that Dullam, who makes specialty costumes, props, and statues for a living, created the Tumbler without the use of blueprints as the only references he had were photos of the car that he downloaded from the internet.

According to Dullam, the project cost him in materials somewhere between $50,000 and $70,000. As you can see in the pictures after the jump, Dullam also made a Batman suit to go with the car. And that’s not all as the talented builder said that he has already begun working on the Batpod from “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”. Guess we all know who the real “Boy Wonder”…is! -Image gallery after the jump
