Since the introduction of computers in vehicles in the early 70’s, there have been major improvements in their use for car diagnostics. Code readers and scan tools are some of the most relevant developments achieved with the use of computers. However, they differ in a series of functions which will be carefully distinguished in this publication for your perusal. Code Reader As the name implies, code reader connects to the OBD II port to translate what the error codes mean. When a code reader runs, the error code generated tells the mechanic there is a problem with a vehicle, however, this code requires translation and that is precisely what the code reader does. The mechanic can then choose to clear the error code generated, but apart from that, there’s nothing else the code reader can do. Scan Tool Scan tools on the other hand were manufactured for use in auto shops as they provide a rich set of tools for diagnostics and testing. Using scan tools, mechanics can access other parts apart from the ECU. They can also gain access to codes as well as information on problems in the ABS system and other supplemental systems. They are cost effective because they cover more ground when , ...ادامه مطلب

Though I resent the connotations the word ‘millennial’ has come to evoke these days, there is no getting away from the fact that I am one. Us ‘millenis’ grew up watching the computers take over the world, keeping track of it all mostly through the evolution of video games. Those of us with an automotive fixation know history mostly by association with car games of a given era, and likely with which Need For Speed was all the rage back then.  Now, as computers become more and more sophisticated and take the whole gaming experience to higher levels, developers try to utilize that enormous power to create ever more realistic games. And while that is technologically brilliant and quite marvelous engineering-wise, one has to ask oneself are these new breed of realistic simulations as fun as the old, crude versions? This permeates to all genres, but with car games in particular the issue is more glaring. If you think about it, the most enjoyable parts of driving has to do with the noise and acceleration and how easy it is to go through a bend quickly, preferably with a bit of an oversteer to spice things up. You don’t think about the brake bias or the steering ratio or the exact perc, ...ادامه مطلب

Every year we are treated to a whole bunch of new 911 models, but only a handful of them are interesting enough to warrant a close inspection. The 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package is certainly one of those, a wing-less, manual version of the GT3 built for purists. Here we take a close look at this superb machine in detailed pictures and videos.  The distinguishing feature of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package is a variable rear spoiler like the 911 Carrera in place of the regular GT3 large fixed wing. Being a pure sort of 911, the car features a four-litre naturally aspirated engine with 500 horsepower and 460 Nm. Sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, that power propel the Touring Package to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 316 km/h. [embedded content] Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package exclusive features include PCCB ceramic brake, the lift system, LED headlights, all seat variants, the Chrono Package and the audio systems. It also gets rear wide arches and forged alloy wheels with central locking. At the front, 245/35 ZR 20 tyres are fitted on nine-inch wheels, while at the rear 305/30 ZR 20 tyres are mounted , ...ادامه مطلب

Along with the GT3 Touring Package, this year we also got a tighter, lighter version of the Carrera. It’s called the Porsche 911 Carrera T, a badge that harks back 1968, and it promises some old-school fun with features such as less weight, shorter transmission ratios from the manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive with mechanical rear differential lock. Let’s take a deeper look at this cool sports car. Powering the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T is a twin turbocharged 3.0 liter flat-six with 370 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. It enables the T to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 290 km/h.while manual gearbox is standard,  PDK is available as an option. But 911 T is more about the fun of driving than outright speed, mainly thanks to a shorter rear axle ratio and mechanical differential lock, but also to some serious weight saving. There is less sound proofing and some of the windows are made of plastic, and rear seats have been omitted along with the Porsche Communication Management (PCM). [embedded content] You the rear seats and PCM back in as no-cost options, but why would you want to? Other exclusive highlights of the 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera, ...ادامه مطلب

SUVs have always had an important place in the market. As much as we hate to agree, we’d chose an SUV over any other Sports car. There is a variety of sizes from a smaller one to a large one. The high ground clearance makes it sit higher than the other cars in the market, but you accelerate into that gentle night. It’s suggested not to test a SUVs highest speed limit. Though we have exceptions like Range Rover and Bentley, which are designed to speed. These are one of the most desired cars and you can also buy used SUVs. There are so many online sites which make deals on used cars. Are you in Colorado? Want to look out for used SUV in Pueblo CO? Here are a few things you must know b, ...ادامه مطلب
