With the conversion kit, HID headlights you can have, which allows it to be safer on the road, the increased visibility they offer. halogen headlights, as you may know have a short life, get rid of this problem by converting to HID, which can last from four to 10 years. In addition, HID can withstand severe shocks and vibrations, a clear advantage if you are the adventurous, loves to explore the difficult terrain.
Osram HID Conversion Kit has developed extra-slim digital ballast, including the chipset is responsible for regulating electricity so the HID lamp stable at all times and enjoy a longer life. The kit also includes up to three times the light output, less power consumption. Last but not least, the kit includes the state of the art impact protection system and overload protection for their safety and comfort guaranteed.

The different types of tires and their purpose


Want to know the different types of tires and their effects? This introduction will help you decide the basics and what kind of tires for your car. First, what is the purpose of a tire in general? Now the tire is basically a cushion between the road and cars. Most tires these days is tires, which is oval and a half of wire and cable of inflation. They are usually made of rubber and fabric. They also include a selection of chemical compounds, and these substances can vary between manufacturers.


The different types of tires and their purpose, it was in direct response to the needs of pilots. There are a number of tires for all weather conditions and the need for performance. If you are driving a recreational vehicle, truck, sports car, you can find the ideal rubber for improving the performance of your vehicle. More information about the three different types of tires
1. All the winter tires
All the winter tires are in two different countries with hot and cold seasons in the municipality. They should perform well in all seasons. One advantage is that they are easy to use and comfortable, but on the other hand, is the flip side, these tires are not designed for high performance, in both winter and summer. They are pretty average. These are the type of tires, many people have in their cars, and for most of us nothing more elegant than necessary. If you live in an area of ​​mud or snow, you may need the extra traction provided by the mud and snow tires. Read more about it.


2. Mud and snow tires
Mud and snow tires are specially designed for low temperatures, with a particular chemical composition. They provide a soft compound rubber for good traction on snow and ice. If we are looking for a tire from mud or snow, you will see more channels of tread that all summer tires, the additional slots maximum grip on uneven surfaces. Also, see M & S or M + S marking on the tire was designed, a tire from mud and snow to say.
or more of snow tires, snow tires are some metal bolts. Again, the number of metal in only one way to increase traction in wet and extremely cold. They work the roughness of the ice on the streets. I'm not used metal bolt in a normal car, because they tend to be damaged a road for a long time. This is a special object that can be seen in used tires for ice racing and other sports.
Tires or more sound: The tires are very thick tire tread, clean the mud, trapped in the tires to help. mud tires are usually wider than the other types of tires. This is what distributes the weight over a larger area. As you can imagine, this helps the vehicle does not sink into the mud - always a good thing!


3. High-performance tires
high-performance tires are not needed, on average, in the vehicle. They want to invest in a good set of performance tires, if you own a sports car or do a lot of races. This type of tires have a softer compound than the other species. This weakness allows them better traction control, which is a key element in the fast corners. In contrast with winter tires and mud tires, performance tires have flat surfaces. The idea that the tires have more contact with the road so he can go faster. But not if these tires tend to work hard.
Now you know everything about the three different types of tires and their purpose. So make sure you know the rules of driving around the tires to avoid a penalty. You can also devices such as radar detectors, to save money and keep the license.

The choice of a drive to get to general driver

Most driving schools use small cars cheap - often diesel - are good for fuel. Small cars are generally easier to maneuver, and this could be an important factor for a test drive. However, it would be useful to the type of vehicle registered to use to look before choosing a driving school. Here are some considerations. If you use the new driving school or new, are less likely to break. This means less chance of discomfort from the lessons have been canceled. Also, if the vehicle is under warranty from the manufacturer, so it works perfectly, so that the best example of his ability to set. One of the older vehicles more vulnerable to things that are not working properly and less reliable.

With the aging of vehicles in general, less delicate to handle and difficult to drive for the driver. Suspension parts, engine and gearbox will suffer wear over time, and the engine can also be stronger. The maintenance of an old car and can minimize the problems associated with the above and remember that the interest is specific to driving school to keep their vehicles on the road. automatic cars are not as common in the United Kingdom and the United States, but for those who may have a recognized disability - as a problem with his left leg.

An automatic system has only two pedals, throttle and brake, both of which are for the right foot in the rule. In addition, the auto focus more easily on the street instead of checks. Consider an automatic when you can have problems with coordination. In general, you can learn faster in an automatic win because of the shorter time for the control of the vehicle. Automatic transmission cars for the driver change.


A manual transmission car, the driver has to change the clutch and change gears. The driver must know when to change gear. This requires some practice. with manual transmission cars are generally cheaper to buy and more expensive. If you take a test drive in a car with manual transmission, it is also an automatic right to drive, but if you have an automatic limited license, driving is automatic. Good visibility is important when learning to drive. Choose a car that can be clearly seen through a window front and back.

The Japanese automotive industry to a standstill

After the devastation of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated many areas in northern Japan for several weeks some of the most important Japanese have stopped production and some factories in the country's leading automobile manufacturers is still closed. Tragically, about 7,200 people were confirmed dead and the government has said it expects the death toll over 10,000. Some 11,000 people are missing and millions homeless. car manufacturer Toyota, the world before, immediately suspended the production in all the domestic auto plants and factories, and estimated a decline in production of 40,000 vehicles. The company has announced plans to start production by the end of this week, and uses his lack of production of 16,000 vehicles.


The factories, including those who were not severely damaged, could again start in the next few days, but not for long because of the disruption of the mass of its network of providers. Toyota Motor Corp. resumed production of parts for repair or replacement of yesterday, however, the assembly plants are closed in Japan, the spelling of a chain for the production of 95,000 vehicles.Honda and Nissan to break even if only temporarily, while Fuji Heavy Industries, maker of Subaru automobiles, five factories have closed in part, construction and material damage. The three floors of Mitsubishi in Japan was unharmed by the disaster, but some of their most important suppliers have been affected, to stop the operation of the facility by mid-week.


Before the earthquake, Japan was making 37,000 cars and trucks a day. It exports more than half of them. Fourteen percent of the 7.2 base vehicles last year were all over the world in Japan.Most Japanese automakers south of Tokyo, which was based in a position to prevent the catastrophe. However, importers have reported that high levels can cause damage the entire infrastructure of the country a lasting impact. The lack of parts from Japan has caused a slowdown in manufacturing plants in North America Toyota, Subaru and General Motors, trying to save stocks of parts. 



These problems are sometimes more influential abroad. Japan is the largest exporter of cars around the world's second largest (after Germany) and is more than one in ten of the world production car in Japan. In 2010, exports (including motor vehicles and parts), worth 130 billion dollars. According to the manufacturer of automobiles by 60 percent of cars sold in Europe are manufactured in Japan, but it can take six weeks for Toyota vehicles from Japan to Europe to travel. This means that in the next five weeks, European retailers do not get to the cars - and car parts - made before the earthquake and tsunami. Any disruption in the European and American plants will begin in mid-April.
