Delete the rust and paint with laser ?: Fast and hypnotic ...

Are you thinking of restoring an old glory? As you know, the worst thing you can find in a car is rust. Either at low or behind layers of putty and paint (for washes fast and sloppy face), rust may occur as perhaps the worst disease of a car, to the point of turning it into a pile of junk.

To date, methods for oxide removal departing abrasive chemical sanding through sandblasting in which depending on the thickness of the sheet or the metal to be treated could employ tiny steel bearings to lift paint and complete the work to leave skin exposed.

Well, a few days ago I found a curious process that simplifies the work of oxide removal. This new process is much less abrasive and can be used in thinner sheets without compromising its shape or integrity.

Through these laser machines you can remove rust, lead paint and any secondary base without chemicals, water or pollutants.

The innovative laser technology distributes thousands of laser pulses per second focused on a surface. The powerful pulses of a single laser beam deviate from linear and are placed adjacent to each other. Most of the laser energy is absorbed by the surface layer and is converted directly into heat energy. This energy vaporizes and removes existing contaminants effectively. The higher the absorption factor, the faster the process.

The main material, unlike the contaminants, does not absorb but reflects the laser beam.

Because of its high reflection factor, the metal surfaces are particularly suitable for laser cleaning. The substrate does not stain or suffer heat during the cleaning process.

In these moments Renault is introducing in Colombia the new Alaskan, an interesting pick up developed based on the Nissan NP300 Navara to hit the market before the end of the year. It will be built in different parts of the world, including the Nissan plant in Barcelona.

As expected, the exterior design is very similar to the concept and therefore only modifies the front relative to NP300 for the brand image. Premieres grille, headlights with daytime running lights with LEDs features in the latest products of Renault, and a specific bumper.

Already lagging behind the most innovative are the new housings for pilots and trunk lid in which a generously sized diamond looks. No further changes have been made to preserve intact the good load capacity of the back box.

Eye to the latest G-Power: A BMW X5 M 750 hp reaches 300 km / h!

The BMW X5 M and 575 hp seemed not enough for the German trainer G-Power, so they set to work to create an X5 with higher performance and more powerful even than a Lamborghini Aventador. A radical new look with a matte black finish and no less than 750 hp and 980 Nm of torque under the hood to transform the SUV in the Bavarian brand into a real beast which I doubt would like to meet on the highway.

We had seen recently another preparation of the same company that raised the power to 700 hp with a V8 4.4-liter engine, but this should not seem enough to G-Power, as now surprise us with this new preparation it could be the most powerful SUV you can buy the whole market.

This new kit adds nothing less than 175 hp and 230 Nm of torque to the standard model, thanks to new turbochargers, a downpipes steel, a software upgrade or titanium exhaust slimming overall weight up to 23 kilograms. And, the more than 2.4 tons weighing in total are wasted thanks to the more than 700 hp we will have in our hands.

Aesthetically no big news, but mainly they highlight the huge 23-inch wheels Hurricane RR, with a price of 8,442 euros tires 325 / 25ZR23 and a matte black color with different vinyls that reflect the colors of M Power of the German mark.

If we stop to look at the numbers, numbers with stopwatch in hand are really scary. The quarter mile is equivalent to 400 yards away which is done in just 11.5 seconds, and the speed has been deslimitada by updating the Bi-Tronik V3 2 PBX to reach no less than 300 km / h .

If you also want to lower the suspension we pay no less than 2,292 euros, or if we opt for an even more deafening sound when turning our G-Power X5 M grace will amount to 3,190 euros. The power kit rises to 4,400 euros, although we prefer to make the most out of the limited speed default sets the German manufacturer we pay another 668 euros, which will probably not be recommended in countries where we have a Autobahn hand.

One of the biggest successes of VW South Africa was a SEAT: Introducing the Polo Beach

Volkswagen is a brand that has always taken advantage of opportunities as they arrived. SEAT instead is a company that relies too heavily on the decisions of others and perhaps because their future has been in question for many years, which fortunately now seems to be far away.

The fact is that Volkswagen has for many years been a leader Toyota sales with the South African market, a priori, something that should not call attention too. It is fair to say that in South Africa a large number of vehicles sold per year, with the country on the continent with more quota.

For a few years Volkswagen had the need to get a versatile product that could get the colors to Japanese firms by price, rather than with the Polo did not fully achieve being expensive to produce. What was the solution? SEAT Ibiza rob, make three or four cosmetic changes and install a more modern dashboard.

The trading result was immediate and for many years managed to become one of the most successful models of the South African market with similar figures to reaching the Toyota Tazz (a Corolla something old). The problem is that SEAT never got this something good for them because the mark did not appear anywhere.

The oddest thing about all this is that in 2006 SEAT tried to gain a foothold in South Africa launched the Ibiza, Leon and Altea. His position did not finish convince users to be more expensive than equivalent products and clear Volkswagen, although it was a new firm in the country also have internet and know what place the Spanish brand in Europe. This action saw it as something negative, not wanting to pay more for a product in principle lower and at the end of 2008 ceased its activity.

This an inferior product to be qualified as the Polo manufactured in South Africa does not have the same quality of realization that leaving Pamplona facilities. Glancing more in depth was true that Ibiza Spaniards were at a higher step but the image of SEAT has never been above the Volkswagen even though in some markets has tried to get this (Mercosur and China are other examples of commercial failure by poor positioning).

I could have tried SEAT is making at least Ibiza in South Africa, managing to win the quota needed to maintain the network of dealers and import other products. We all know that having a car is well positioned feasible to sell imported more expensive, making the viability of the network with the domestic product.

The Volkswagen Polo Playa marketed between 1996 and 2002 with familiar engines 1.4 MPI 60 and 75 hp, and a 1.6 MPI 100 hp that gave life to the most prestacionales versions. It was only sold with five-door body and coexisted with the third generation Polo offers more space at a lower price.

While its exterior is a Ibiza full-fledged second installment except for the tailgate, drivers and front grill, inside from 1998 there was nothing to remember the original, borrowing the same dashboard of the Lupo / Polo of that time with better looking and more attractive distribution controls.

Another important curiosity is that the Polo Beach has been a favorite for the South African public lover tuning, something that has also happened with the variants of SEAT sold cars in many other regions. Will the meat Ibiza modifications? It seems so regardless of the brand that is sold.

A Toyota Supra with more than 837,000 km ?: Here is a sample of Japanese reliability even in sports ...

It was in August 1993 when Toyota launched all the information of the fourth generation Supra, a model that absolutely not shared anything with previous models, except the name.

A powerful front-engine, rear-wheel drive and an internal configuration 2 + 2 Supra turned this the most powerful production model made to date by Toyota. The 2JZ-GTE mechanical mounted longitudinally front had a twin turbocharging system sequential turbo, 24-valve 6-cylinder. With 2,997 cc engine developing 326 hp at 5,600 rpm and 441 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm (90% torque was available from 1,300 rpm to 3,500 rpm) in its most powerful version. This reliable mechanics was associated with a manual gearbox 6-speed Getrag V160 and a limited slip differential (it was also available an automatic 4-speed A343E).

Now comes a spectacular news from the United States where there is a Supra that has broken all records. This is not a powered vehicle, or a preparation, it is a standard vehicle and eye because we speak of a Supra that has exceeded 837,000 km. I have to stress that this is not the troubled version, but the 2JZ-GE I6 3.0 without turbo, which offered a respectable 220 hp despite its aesthetics, was aimed at people looking for more reliability and aesthetics behavior sports mechanics, that eye, not lagged behind in terms prestacionales and covering the 0 to 100 km / h in about 7 seconds.

As a general rule, satisfaction surveys are usually completed in the first 60 days and eye, because based on that there are countries that value the reliability of a vehicle, which is surreal because most new cars do not have problems in the first 2 months of life, right ?.

Tennessee Dale Thomas is delighted with its Supra and boasts of having the original engine without turbo that has just made it the manufacturer's recommended maintenance, no more, no less.

The fact that it is a sports car with technological innovations dela time, still makes us hallucinate more.

Subaru Forester tS: The SUV 240CV with pieces of STI sure did you like ...

Subaru is a brand we do not understand our market, which is worrying because it is an excellent manufacturer with a product that can give many kicks to these German products in terms of quality construction, durability, safety and security.

Besides all this, the Japanese brand occasionally surprises us with special editions like the one we speak today and that is intended for the Australian market.

It is called Forester tS and receives a lot of accessories signed by STI that make it an excellent machine that will be available at dealerships from the antipodes from June.

Rumors of a sports SUV Subaru have generated great interest and less than 80,000 Australian dollars (51,500 euros to change) can get by with one of these interesting units.

Apparently, the Forester tS offers additional features on the Forester XT with 240 hp turbo mechanics.

2.0 XT This engine is an engine developed from 2.0 FB engine, but with a series of amendments that lets you pay 240 hp maximum power. Improvements for these new figures we find, improved direct injection, reinforced pistons, camshafts, turbo outplacement below the engine or exhaust system redesigned.

The engine delivers 240 hp, with a torque of 350 Nm from 2,400 rpm to 3,600 rpm and the maximum speed of 221 km / h, from 0 to 100 km / h in just 7.5 seconds.

The truth is that almost everything is aesthetic in this model except for the new Brembo brakes 4-piston front and 2 rear, tires STI Enkei 19 "performance tires, lowered suspension 15 mm as well as some detail.

Among the improvements are not all benefits and services but better view images to get an idea of the changes, right ?

Sales January to April 2016, Austria dominates VAG VW, Skoda, Audi and SEAT at the top

During the first four months of the year new car registrations in Austria increased by 4.7% compared with the same period last year to reach 109,557 units delivered to new customers.

Despite this significant increase it is necessary to say that Japanese firms continue their particular fall in this country, with which Mazda is head over Nissan and Suzuki. Toyota for its part falls to the 19th and a decrease of 26.3% is targeted. Honda recovers ground but still far from being representative.

Just do see the Top10 to check the stranglehold of VAG, placing eight models of VW, Skoda and SEAT firms (and that it has removed the Volkswagen T6 to be a commercial, it would be sixth). Audi is not in the top 10 but their range and the new A4 in 13th have managed to make it shine.

Among the large MPV is the SEAT Alhambra which leads taking something away to Ford Galaxy, a product that is going strong. The Opel Astra on the other hand gets placed between both VAG while the Clio makes closing the Top10.

The Qashqai / Tucson battle you've been talking to other analysis is repeated and therefore only 18 units Hyundai manages to overtake the Japanese model. We are confident that Nissan has to be concerned about the ix35 Wow successor in the main European countries.

And the distance between the local church was quite small and their health was gradually eroding its powers, the Beetle was finally abandoned to their fate in a barn in 1978, where he remained for just over four decades.

recently rediscovered by the heirs of Sgroi, this 1974 Beetle has only needed a coat of paint and some adjustments to his mechanics to look the look you see in the pictures.
