Well, I’ve been some sort of project and I discovered that there are pretty a lot of advantages using the Stage 2 engine. Speaking of 2 cylinder head modified to large valve OE62 Rally Spec, this is actually one of the ideal mods that can be done to your MG since it has a high oil capacity pump that could take fuel efficiency to the next level. On the other hand, this could easily strip out engine and has balanced pistons and conrods. Aside from the fuel efficiency, there is a huge difference onto the performance in comparison with other car brands out there. Based on the observation did in 90 there is a process happened using the said engine creating auto tuned exhaust and fast camshaft fitted.

Aside from the engine, it happened that most MG midgets can be easily engaged to comprehensive detailing. In other words, you could get into the modification as much as you wish. 

Moreover, mg midget parts are now accessible using the internet service. You can choose the one that best fit on your car or just let your mechanic decide what he thinks is good. As much thing, there are also service centers where you can pay the amount they decide just to fulfill your expectation. Besides, you can have discounted parts using coupons offered by auto retailers out there. The rest would be taken for granted since you’ll gonna be able to come up with OEM parts truly designed by the manufacturer. In the mere time, despite MG has lost its value in the past there are still enthusiasts dedicated with the said car model but we can’t blame them. It’s their passion!

The Continuation Of Ford MKX Lincoln

I haven't been in an MKX in a while, and walking up to this trucklet in the parking garage, I didn't quite recognize it. But then, I have the idea that ford, the auto maker of this model has already continued the production for this year. I like the look of the sheetmetal, and the color played well on this ride. Inside, it was nice to see the new MyLincoln Touch system, a software truly meant for vehicles like this and even if I am still getting used to it. The controls on either side of the steering wheel are user-friendly and help you more or less keep your eyes on the road. The materials are all very nice, the seats are comfy and offer good bolstering, and there is good cargo space. I would like more legroom up front and the ability to lower the seats.
I think the new layout looks much cleaner, and the controls are fairly easy to use--once you figure out where everything is. I felt as if I was sitting on the vehicle at times, instead of inside it. The power liftgate was also a plus. The V6 offers good power on both the expressway and around town. But the steering felt heavy at times, and turning felt tight. The brakes are strong, and the MKX handled well in some snowy, windy conditions. Good thing about this model most is that there is nothing to worry about the maintenance since there are now available replacement parts for this vehicle.

Coil Spring Isolator Proper Installation

Just today, a box has been delivered in your house here in Philadelphia, Yes, the part I ordered from one of auto parts store on the internet.  The coil spring isolator of my Silverado was damaged and hence I needed to replace it. Not a tough job. Actually it would only take 1 and a half hour. First off, here are the things you should have:

Floor Jack
2 Jack Stands
5/8" Combination Wrench
19mm Socket and Socket Wrench
3 6" 2"x4" Blocks
2 8" 2"x4" Blocks
Large Hydraulic Jack
Small Hydraulic Jack
Tire Iron or Impact Wrench with 3/4" Socket

I recommend getting a Westar Coil Spring Isolator because the quality of this brand is really different from others.

1. You can start the installation by unpacking the box and organizing the things that you will need such as the above mentioned.
2. Next step is to park your car in a safe place, much better if it is on your own garage. Then, start removing the wheel by placing a jack underneath. Now you can remove the bearings as well as the wheels. Start by turning the jack higher until it reached the right height. Once remove, install the coil isolator and make sure they are properly fitted.
3. Once done, you can start lowering the jack and test if it is ok.  However you can consult the local mechanic and ask how to auto repair.

Lincoln MKX - Extending Its Gears!

I like this car, along with its Edge sibling from Ford Fusion. The updated nav-radio-heater interface takes a bit of time to sort out. But once you know where all of the buttons are and what they do, not to mention what can be found on the touch screen and doesn't have a button at all, the car is just fine. Sometimes I think in trying to offer so many options, they sometimes gum up the entire operation, and I would rate this one as being very close to overload. And I'm not really sure I'd opt for the upgraded Lincoln here, especially at 47 large. The Edge SEL can be had for about $10,000 less. I liked this car, and the sticker at $47K is quite honestly less than I expected, a rarity these days. I even like the new Lincoln front end (perhaps another rarity). Lincoln needed a defining design element, and the front ends on its cars and trucks accomplish that.

The truck drives well for the most part, with enough guts from the V6 and a nice, smooth transmission. The suspension strikes a decent balance between ride and handling (more toward the soft side) considering the weight you're hauling around. The interior materials are first-rate, and I love the center stack and its clean look. Of course, the reason it's clean is the MyLincoln Touch, and its radio, climate and navigation controls all use touch-sensitive buttons. They can, as Hart notes above, take some getting used to. I was annoyed at times, but I assume that would lessen over time. Overall, I think this is a fine alternative to a Lexus RX 350 or a Cadillac SRX. I'll say this: I'd take this all day over the last BMW X3 I drove. This blows that away.

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X F 400: The Best Production Ever!

Here comes the most powerful production version of the Lancer Evolution as of the moment! Just last year the said model has been launched which entices everyone in the automotive world. Basically The FQ 400 is set to on sale in the UK in June of this year. To cite some of the specs the new FQ-400 comes with a retuned 2.0-liter turbocharged engine which is definitely capable of producing 403bhp at 6,500 rpm and 3,500 rpm sending the sports sedan from standstill to 62mph (100km/h) in a mere 3.8 seconds before reaching an electronically limited top speed of 155mph or 250km/h.

It is pretty sure that those interested in the FQ-400 wouldn't have mind at all if Mitsubishi removed most of these expedient features and thus lowering the car's price and most importantly, shaving a few pounds off the FQ-400's weight which is lighter than the previous production. And while The standard EVO X's advanced Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) four-wheel-drive system with Active Stability Control and Active Centre Differential, Active Yaw Control and Sport ABS, remains of course unchanged.

Ford Explorer 2011

The all-new Ford Explorer is one of the best offerings in 2011, possessing a very stylish vibe, incomparable performance and one of a kind interior features. The vehicle goes on sale starting October 1, which is a big bugger by local standards as well as drivers around the world. Car enthusiasts can expect prices to amount to $19,740 for the petrol 2.5-liter single cab/chassis 4x2 manual, and $59,390 for the double cab Wildtrak 3.2 diesel auto although it worth the money for it can deliver a deluxe driving experience to future owners. The Explorer is also expected to land in more than 180 countries on five continents. It will be available in three cab styles, namely: double, super and single and in cab chassis and pickup bodies. In terms of design, the car possesses an interior storage that can include up to 20 pockets and nooks. There are bottle-shaped pockets as well present in all four doors, which can house water bottles. Driving experience is also terrific as it copes with five 2.0 tall adults. It is also brilliantly silent which creates a smooth sail no matter what driving conditions arise.  However above all, the thing that can’t be seen with other car brands that could be seen in explorer is the ease of maintenance. These days, there are auto parts store that offer replacement Ford Explorer parts such as Ford tailgate, Ford bumper covers, grille guards etc and they could be easily accessed through the presence of the internet service.

Jaguar Overheating Issues Solved!

It's critical to ensure your XK8 cooling system parts are in tip top order for piece of mind. Worse case severe overheating scenarios are; blown head gaskets, damaged cylinder heads and potentially a deterioration in engine lubrication quality. The latter can then affect the longevity of crankshaft bearings and the general life of the XK8 engine. Relating to the water pump, this manifests itself in the disintegration / breaking up of the plastic impellor within the water pump. This then leads to reduced coolant flow, localized heating and the worst case problems mentioned above. Indicative signs of a cooling problem on the XK8 engine are the cooling fans staying on for long periods regardless of temperature and / or one of the top hoses blowing off.


Before going to the effort of removing / replacing the water pump, with a cold engine, take the filler cap off the expansion tank and then ask someone to run the engine for you at 1200 rpm. Should the pump be working correctly, water should be circulating / swirling well in the tank. If there is a problem, then there will be very little swirl and therefore indicative of a problem with the water pump. If you are going to the effort of checking it then it's worth replacing with the latest XK8 parts including water pump and other cooling system parts. 2003 cars also suffered from breakdown of other plastic cooling system parts.


These relate to the thermostat housing rising out of the block and the bridge pipe linking the cylinder heads on naturally aspirated cars (the XKR has an alloy pipe). The thermostat housings are now available in alloy and we hope that the bridge pipe will follow. The Jaguar Part number for the water pump is - AJ8008912 and all later water pumps supersede to this part number.

SAAB Forces Shut Down This Year

Several years ago, Saab Automobile had filed for bankruptcy and though they will no longer stay on business, marking the end of more than 60 years. After the filing of the bankrupcy report, the Swedish automaker’s owners had already surrendered their assets to the judicial court.Of course Saab fans might figure out and see GM as the major competitor and the villain in this corporate drama and is now reaching the peak of success to the automotive industry. There have been also rumor that the company has forced and paid the said auto maker to get out of the industry and merge their assets to them.

The name of Saab's last concept was not launched to the market due to the said issue and that is the renowned Phoenix which was shown off at the 2011 Geneva auto show, a final bid by the company to show it could rise from nowher. Its turbocharged 2.8-liter engine made 300 horsepower and cabin technology was built around a hard drive-based navigation system.The company, founded in 1947 and owned by GM since 2000, was due to be shut down in 2009 as GM consolidated its brands.Victor Muller, former CEO of Spyker Cars, threw Saab a lifeline, taking over the company and attempting to arrange financing. Most recently, Chinese automaker Youngman Automobile Group was set to purchase Saab.

Is Hummer Losing Its Performance?

Just recently, the auto maker General Motors has announced the recall of so far more than 20,000 vehicles due to the piece of hood that shakes every time the machine starts the engine.  On the public point, this is just a discrepancy on the auto maker’s side but on my own point of view but to sound offensive, the performance and the reputation of Hummer was being affected. On the other hand, there are several things they should consider in order to come up with pleasant results in terms of sales.

Personally, I started experiencing weird things about my H3 when the vehicle reached the 30k miles after I bought it. I was going home from the vacation when I observed the hood is shaking at 60kph. I thought It was just a normal case when suddenly, the said thing continue to happen. As I read this article, I was convinced that there is a recall direct from the auto maker so I was the first one to go back and ask for the recall.  I was hoping everything would be under control or else I got to get my refund of having those vehicles and would provide another one. But I just want to hope that the problem would be fixed so as for the hummer to boost not just the sales but the image to the public.  Good thing now, they are dealing with replacement parts which therefore made the repair job easier than before and with the engagement of repair manuals, customers would surely be glad.

CJ Jeep: Sporty Apperance For The First Time Around

Jeep was basically a redesigned reintroduction of a two door body style vehicle, with a single fixed rear side window with an optional flip-out section. Just in this generation, a two door version had been available in the Jeep Wagoneer line , though this had the same pillar and window configuration as the four-door Wagoneer possessed. From the concept of the the Wagoneer, the Cherokee XJ was marketed as the "sporty" two-door variant of Jeep's station wagon do in the auto industry. The term "Sporty" appears for the first time in the 1974 Cherokee sales brochure. A four-door was not added to the lineup until 1977 came and some improvements took place on the vehicles.

Apart from the changes in the trims, these vehicles received larger fenders and wider axles, allowing larger tires to be fitted to further improve off-road ability as well as the performance. Four-door models were not available with "wide-track" axles however. 

Cherokees were actually briefly assembled in Brisbane, Australia from 80s up to the recent generation, although their heavy fuel consumption and high cost in comparison with Japanese four-wheel drive vehicles made them uncompetitive in that market. When it comes to maintenance owners need not to worry since there are a lot of places where they can search for stuff. These days, even rare parts were available and can be easily accessed in the presence of the internet. These stuff include bumper covers, grilles, alternator and other jeep parts. However, there is a drawback on this method since not all the dealers are truly trusted.

A Spark Of The Brand New Year

Just recently Chevrolet has showed an especially sporty version of the Spark, which was present a year ago as a concept at the 2010 Detroit auto show in United States, though with the Chevrolet Aveo replacement (the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic) was still ongoing due to move to a more upscale, sporty position for 2012 it's likely the production 2013 Spark will be a more basic commuter device to generate a massive amount of sales. Chevrolet Spark was formerly introduced as the Chevrolet Beat Concept at the New York Auto Show in 2007. The full production form of the Chevrolet Spark will be shown in March 2009 at the Geneva Auto Show. But despite its looks, no trees were harmed in the creation of this car, with the body being covered in a vinyl wrap – like a huge sticker – to give the effect. Period whitewall tyres complete the look. Europe will get the first glimpse of its sales in 2010.
While most of the Beat’s concept was adapted, the implementation of larger windows is the most notable change. The fog lamps, headlights, and grille have been changed; the front has been altered to appear less sporty; and the Spark also looks as if it has been raised higher off the ground.  
A powertrain has a list showing how the auto maker confirms several new engines for the U.S.: a 1.0-liter, iron-block DOHC four-cylinder, as well as a 1.2-liter DOHC four. It's unlikely that either of these engines will feature gasoline direct injection. The Chevrolet Spark has been built to celebrating Chevy’s American roots, and has built this one-off for the annual Boardmasters surf, skate and music festival in Newquay.
