Vygor Opera Not Reflect Italian style

Vygor Opera

ITALY, Questions automobile design, the Italian no doubt. Look at models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and the exterior appearance very exotic. So is the work of the house specialty automotive designers, such as Italdesign or Fininfarina, which is also used by car manufacturers in Japan for a specific product.

However, when looking at Vygor Opera, you definitely do not think that this is the country of origin homemade pizza. Looks very contrary to the image that has been built by Italian car manufacturer. In fact, the makers of these vehicles (Vygor) experts are not impressed and they even claim it as a luxury sport utility vehicle.

When viewed from the front, according to the website who wrote this, a little confusing. Gril center like having two curved tusks. Some say like the Mitsubishi Evo or Subaru Impreza.

Worse, even in the back. The lights are thin on the wide bumper. Become more disproportionate dual exhaust diffuser installed in a tilted position.

Beneath the bonnet, Vygor not decided what engine wear. Reportedly, the engine-powered 395 PS will be embedded to push all-wheel drive system on all four wheels.

Other details leaked Vygor, use a tubular steel chassis with body weight composite materials to produce 1,500 kg.

Come on, Clean the Car Glass

Clean the Car Glass

Cleaning the windshield instead of just making more sleek or beautiful. Without realizing it, the glass looks clear that will help your visibility while driving. View more clearly, especially at night to eliminate the effects of light refraction from the outside. No need to spend a long time to make it happen, our scout car so you make the glass clear and clean.
Clean the Car Glass  
Before starting, you should know that most glass cleaners contain ammonia. Compounds of nitrogen and hydrogen (NH3) is often used because it is very potent mixture of mushrooms and plaques to disappear as a result of dirty water which has dried up old or used animal dung. 


Clean the Car Glass  
But beware, not all match the original glass car (Japan, Korea or Europe). Types of tinted windows is not in accordance with the application materials. The effect is not so clear glass, frosted as it adds info that we quoted from auto geek. To know the specifications of your car's glass, can be seen in the bottom corner. Also you see in the product label says "ammonia free" or "safe for tinted windows".
This step-by-step glass cleaning
  1. Clean the windshield using clean water.
  2. Make sure you wash and polish the glass is protected from the sun's heat can cause the soap cleanser left residue resulted in the emergence of flex on the glass surface.
  3. Use a microfiber cloth to get the most out during polishing, if no, can use regular fabric.
  4. Rub or spray the glass to be cleaned using the drug and then wipe with a cloth until the visible nodes.
  5. Rinse the area with water. Continue until all the glass well polished.
  6. FIRST windshield because it has a high degree of difficulty. Do not worry when the drug was polishing the glass touches the car body, quickly rinse the surface with water so as not to damage the paint.
  7. Repeat the above process if you feel not get maximum results.
  8. Read some of the rules on glass cleaner because there are certain specifications that must be considered even though in general all have the same step.

Apply Electro-Mechanical 4 Wheel Steering

Electro-Mechanical 4 Wheel Steering 

To drive the vehicle speed, steering wheel holds a major role. The steering system is moving the front wheels from side to side,according to the movement of the steering wheel is turned by the driver. But in certain circumstances, this condition was deemed inadequate. Turning radius is too wide will make the maneuver is limited. And out of the corner will certainly complicate any fracture.Especially if you have to park the vehicle in tight spaces.

No wonder the manufacturer's 1987 Honda Prelude type issued sedan is equipped with four wheel steering, four wheel steering, aka, the wheels turning behind her part. Then General Motors Delphi also apply to the Sierra Denali's Quadrasteer homemade.Several other auto makers also equip their products with four-wheel steering.

Electro-Mechanical 4 Wheel Steering

For vehicles with large size such as trucks, double cabin, pickup and so forth, the addition of four-wheel steering allows the driver clearly. Of course, in such a system sensitivity of the steering wheel front rear no more responsive. Similarly, the point of inflection, not as wide as the front.

Create enthusiasts of off-road competition, the use of four-wheel steering will obviously beneficial. Additional steering the rear wheels would make it more agile maneuvers. "If in rock crawling, the benefits are visible on the broken corner. Can greatly help deflect the jeep.

Electro-Mechanical 4 Wheel Steering

Usually the use of four-wheel steering is passive. This means that the new rear-wheel controller to function when activated. Way activation by pressing a switch on-off. While the driving force behind the steering wheel itself could use hydraulic or electrically. Well, in this paper will discuss the 4 wheel steer electrical mechanical wear.
Electro-Mechanical 4 Wheel Steering

four-wheel-steering electric motor winch artificial blends with heavy equipment components. Requirement to make a four-wheel steering, of course, need a pair of front axle. "Regular rear axle is solid, having no Knuckle steering wheel that can bend. So the front axle must be replaced.

Usually the replacement axle is not as simple as one might imagine. Because had to adjust as the coupling is connected with transfer case. This constraint is often experienced when going to modify the off-road jeep. "The position of axle hump often can notget along with transfer case. If you use another axle, the final gear is also often not the same, "continued the man who was preparing a tubular single - seater buggy with 4 wheel steering is electric.

Mechanical workings of electric 4 wheel steering is quite simple.Winch motor will move the gear shift concoction of heavy equipment components that are connected with long rods tie rod. In order to keep the motor winch does not rotate when the rotation of the wheel is fixed, then installed additional on-off switch.

When the wheels have touched the steering damper, then the winch will automatically switch the motor directly to the off position. So that the winch motor can not continue to spin, which can make shorting and burning. "One more thing to keep in mind, it should create a safety lock mechanism when the 4 wheel steering in the off position," warned Ian. This is in anticipation of moving the rear wheels if the regulator is damaged. Live rear axle lock switch, so I can not move from side to side themselves.
