In fact, at the start, the Button car so late in the front position taken Nico Rosberg and Jarno Trulli. However, the positions are taken over so he was out of the pit after the first pitstop, when the weather began to race as possible.

He must be up to four times the entry pit to change tires in the near distance. From the first pitstop, he entered again in the lap 22 to replace the tires intermiadiate on lap 31 and then replace the tires wet.

Terrible, even though the pit entry, especially since lap 22, he continues to lead the race. Similarly when lap 29 and 31, until the race finally stopped.

Caring Transmission Matik

KOMPAS.com - When in my car, automatic transmission gives higher comfort rather than manual transmission. Feet and hands do not turn not because stiff clutch pedal and shift rod must move.

To work, automatic transmission conventional (TOK) fluids depends on the condition and the torque converter. TOK this age have a long life can exceed 150,000 kilometers. However, due to the error, such as changing oil too often cause problems.

Care transmission automatise this crucial matter. To avoid problems, Ricky Ricardo, one of the automatic transmission specialist to provide a number of tips and treatment use.

1. Changing the transmission oil every 5000 km Carter. Remember, not only the replacement of exhaust, and always with the appropriate oil.

2. Exhaust every automatic transmission and 20,000 km oil change with the appropriate type of transmission in the car.

3. Use the kick down only when needed. Should accelerate with fine, no need to force the rapid acceleration.

4. Use the kick down on the friction of slide-lever transmission. The goal, to avoid friction lever rusted transmission.

5. Do not hesitate to check the transmission in the garage when detecting a problem even though even though only appear once. With early detection, the cost of repairs that need not be avoided.

Despite the Great Body, Fuel Consumption thus more economical

KOMPAS.com - Fuel consumption is not solely determined by engine capacity. There is no law, the greater engine capacity, the extravagant consumption of fuel. With the development of technology, these assumptions be broken.

For example, the Kijang Innova petrol family car as the most popular in Indonesia. Although the capacity of 2000 cc engines, greater than the Kijang Capsule, 1800 cc, Innova is more economical. But in terms of dimensions, Innova also greater.

The aerodynamics
Two main factors, body Innova better aerodynamics than the Capsule. The front of the Innova or more sloping term its cool, streamlined, compared Capsule. In addition, the surface is also more evenly body.

Thus, when the race vehicle, a wind barrier is lower. Energy required to move is not too large. Consequently, the amount of fuel needed to drive the vehicle. Other terms, the consumption of fuel so more economical.

Machine
Second factor is the way of technology or machinery plus moving components such as power transmission. To supply fuel to the engine, injection system using the Innova, while Capsule carburettor.

Terrible, the working machine is controlled by computer. In this way, the needs of engine fuel will regulated in accordance with the work load. When slow or light load, the amount of fuel that slightly. Conversely, on high speed, the amount of fuel that more.

fuel way valve to the engine room. Here, fuel or gasoline mixed with air by a machine. In the engine, air and fuel mix hold more 'friendly' again. After that, be (compression), with burned through the spark spark generated by the plug. Then, the explosion occurred and encourage piston engine and moved to the next transmission and wheels.

The benefits of injection systems, gasoline engines to the measure that has been determined based on various conditions around the engine. Including the number of air mass the engine, engine temperature and its parameters.

The engine is still in use carburettor, fuel based on opening the gas valve is operated through the gas pedal. Composition of the mixture may be difficult and not fitting in accordance with the stipulated conditions of work machine.

Technology on the other machine Innova is Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent (VVT-i). With this technology, a mixture of fuel and air into the engine is adjusted to the conditions of work cycles and engine load.

VVT-i engine lets up the number of air and fuel mixture with a set of time open and close valves optimally utilize the computer. Air flows into the machine efficiently.

Drive by Wire
Not only that, according to Achmad Rizal, Marcomm Manager of PT TAM, which was way injection Kijang, Innova engine technology development is very much compared to previous versions.

Described, Innova 2007 must meet emission standards Euro2. This must be done because the Kijang Innova and also exported to international emission standards.

For example, to set the lap machine or machines does not work using a conventional cable connecting the gas pedal to the throttle body or the gas valve. "Innova has been using drive by wire. In addition, a plug for a cylinder. The ability of a much more efficient. This is the Kijang Innova so create more economical, "he explained.

In fact, to follow the standard Euro2, Innova is also equipped with oxygen sensors plus catalyst (catalytic converter) to reduce waste gas emissions. The result, in addition to more economical, Kijang Innova petrol engine is also more friendly to the environment.

The problem, according to the engineers of this machine ITB graduates, the error is less Kijang drivers understand how to operate the pedal with the drive by wire system is. "At the beginning of the gas pedal is pressed, the reaction was slower machine than the cables. However, as already working, so fast. Well, because quite slow in the beginning, the drivers are often re-pressing gas pedal. As a result, of course, the fuel so wasteful, "explained.

Hyundai i10 Not Specify Price

JAKARTA, Monday - PT Hyundai Motor India has launched immediately to ensure security in the newest city car segment, the i10. However, according to internal sources of Hyundai, they do not ensure exact launch date. "Course soon we launch in the near future. However, the specified date, "said the source.

Added by the source, which is quite complicated problem facing Indonesia in the Hyundai i10 is to determine the price. The car is imported in CBU form from the manufacturer in India. Because the value of rupiah against the dollar so high, the price so high and heavy to compete in the Indonesian market.

Cars are imported in CBU form from India because of the price constraints imposed customs, while a car coming from the ASEAN, such as Thailand or Malaysia, do not.

"Now only the price Kia Picanto manual Rp 128 million. What city is worth the price car, "commented the source is about the price.

Certainty immediately launched Hyundai i10 also begins with the events with the gathered journalists that will be held tomorrow. According to other sources who know the purpose of the event, meeting attendance is a teaser i10 as Atoz.

Kompas.com from the search, enter Indonesia Hyundai i10 motorized 1.1 liter with manual transmission and automatic. Because the price is not yet sure, as a comparison, Kia Picanto manual transmission offered Rp 126 million, while otomatie Rp 136,500,000.

With prices around, and be dizzy Hyundai India. The price of the car, like a motorized Daihatsu Xenia 1.3 liter size with the larger and more passenger load is Rp 126 million, let alone the current price of fuel is cheaper. A struggle that is easy, but must be tried!
