What is an NGV?

A Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) is a vehicle which runs on natural gas, a fuel which burns much more cleanly than gasoline. 

Because many countries are seeking alternatives to gasoline as a fuel source, the use of NGVs is growing around the world, as the cars are energy efficient and very clean burning. Consumers in some countries can purchase NGVs, and existing cars can also be converted to use natural gas. In addition, many companies offer fleet vehicles which run on natural gas, allowing cities to convert their cars, buses, and trucks to natural gas.

Natural gas is a gaseous combination of hydrocarbons, typically heavy on methane. Technically, natural gas is a fossil fuel, and it is considered a nonrenewable resource as a result. However, natural gas is fairly abundant and is generally cheaper than gasoline. In addition, it burns much more cleanly than gasoline, making it a better choice for vehicle fueling since it can dramatically reduce emissions. In some cases, an NGV can run onbiofuel, a renewable form of natural gas made from biological material such as manure.

The design of a NGV is much like that of a conventional gasoline vehicle. The engine works in the same way, with explosions of gas firing cylinders. Instead of a singe gas tank, the NGVhas several heavily secured tanks designed to hold compressed natural gas. In some cases, aNGV is equipped to take liquefied natural gas, which is cooled so that it becomes a liquid, allowing the car to store more energy. NGVs drive, look, and feel like ordinary cars.

Fueling the NGV is somewhat more complicated than fueling a conventional car. Drivers need to find a natural gas fueling station, or they can use a home fueling system which taps into household natural gas. Typically, a home fueling system can take hours to fill, since the gas needs to be pressurized before it enters the car. Manufacturers of NGVs hope that consumer demand will increase the number of available fueling stations, which is important, since the cars have a shorter range than their gasoline consuming counterparts do.

Although the NGV is not a complete solution to reliance on fossil fuels, the vehicles were hailed as a step in the right direction when they began to be more widely produced in the late 1990s. In many cities around the world, NGV buses, taxis, and public works vehicles can be readily seen on the streets.

Sport Rim

Everyone wants to have beautiful car comes with a nice sport rims. Sport rims give your vehicle a sleek and sporty look.

It enhances the overall appearance of any vehicle be it a motor bike, truck, or car. At times, a good set of rims or mags is all you need to turn your car go from something ordinary to a big head turner. You can almost gasp out that everybody loves the look that after market wheels bring. However, there are a few things you should know before heading out to buy new sport rims.

Defining Terms

There are a few jargons that anyone has to get out of the way before they can make an informed choice when buying sport rims. You should be able to tell the difference between a rim offset from PCD and from the center bore. You should at least know these three things before you get caught up in buying sport rims. You’ll use all three terms in sizing up your rims.

Center Bore

The center bore refers to the hole where your hub fits into. It is located at the very back of your wheel and helps to get it seated properly. The center bore ideally should match your hub perfectly in order to get it seated correctly. With the bore and the hub matched correctly you will reduce the amount of vibration since the wheel will be well centered.

You’ll basically get two types of center bores out there. The first one is called the hubcentric bore and the other is called the lugcentric bore. Hubcentric bores are basically center bores that match your hubs perfectly. With these two parts matched perfectly, a lot of stress to center the wheel is taken off your car’s lug nuts.

But you won’t always get perfectly matched center bores when you’re out to buy new sport rims. In case you don’t get hubcentric wheels, you can settle for lugcentric wheels that use the lug nuts to center the wheels. Just make sure that center bore is at least equal to or even larger than the hub or else you won’t be able to mount your car’s wheel.

In order to help with that said situation, some manufacturers have created adapters. These are hubcentric rings that either slide or lock onto the back of your wheel and allows you to mount a bigger center bore to a smaller hub. You might want to check on this option when you buy new sport rims.

Rim Offset

Another important thing you should consider when you buy new sport rims is to check the rim offset. This refers to the distance of the rim’s centerline to its mounting surface. You either get a positive or a negative measurement when you check the rim offset.

If your vehicle has a positive rim offset then this simply means that the edge of the wheel of your car is closer to the hub mounting surface. This basically means that the wheel is designed to wrap around the brake hardware and the hub. If your vehicle is designed to have a negative offset then that means that the hub’s mounting surface is a lot closer to your wheels’ inside edge.

When you’re fitting your car with new sport rims make sure that you follow the car manufacturer’s specified rim offset. Not following the manufacturer specified offset can affect steering and scrub radius.

PCD

You should also check the PCD when you buy new sport rims. PCD is an acronym which stands for pitch circle diameter. This diameter is measured at the very center of your wheel’s bolt holes. This diameter is usually expressed in millimeters. All manufacturers follow their own conventions when it comes to PCD. However, it is observed that the most common ones are 100 to 114 mm.

Conventional rims either have four studs, meaning they have four bolt holes, or five studs. Vehicles with more bolt holes simply mean that the vehicle requires a lot more strength to hold a single rim. Universal-fit rims are also available from commercial manufacturers today. These feature elongated lug holes that number from eight to ten bolt holes covering various types of patterns. These models can fit a wide range of vehicles.

A Lot More Than Just Looks

There is a lot more to it than making your car look better when you buy new sport rims. You should check the PCD, rim offset, and center bore as well. These will affect not only how sleek your car will look, they can also affect how your vehicle will perform with the new rims on.

Magnesium alloy wheels

What is magnesium alloy wheels. Lets read this article for more info.

Magnesium alloy wheel on a Porsche Carrera GT

Magnesium alloy wheels, or "mag wheels", are sometimes used on racing cars, in place of heavier steel or aluminum wheels, for better performance. Magnesium wheels can be produced through various methods.

Forging
Forging can be done by a one or multi-step process forging from various magnesium alloys, most commonly AZ80, ZK60 (MA14 in Russia). Wheels produced by this method are usually of higher toughness and ductility than aluminum wheels, although the costs are much higher.

High pressure die casting (HPDC)
This process uses a die arranged in a large machine that has high closing force to clamp the die closed. The molten magnesium is poured into a filler tube called a shot sleeve. A piston pushes the metal into the die with high speed and pressure, the magnesium solidifies and the die is opened and the wheel is released. Wheels produced by this method can offer reductions in price and improvements in corrosion resistance but they are less ductile and of lower strength due to the nature of HPDC.

Low pressure casting (LPDC)
This process usually employs a steel die, it is arranged above the crucible filled with molten magnesium. Most commonly the crucible is sealed against the die and pressurized air/cover gas mix is used to force the molten metal up a straw like filler tube into the die. When processed using best practice methods LPDC wheels can offer improvements in ductility over HPDC magnesium wheels and any cast aluminum wheels, they remain less ductile than forged magnesium.

Gravity casting (permanent mold and sand casting)
Gravity cast magnesium wheels have been in production since the early 1920's. This method offers wheels with good ductility, and relative properties above what can be made with aluminum casting. Tooling costs for gravity cast wheels are among the cheapest of any process. This has allowed small batch production, flexibility in design and short development time.

How is it? You can try to your new Myvi or your new car.

How to Protect Your Car With a Car Cover

Let's face it; most of us have spent a decent amount of money on our cars/Myvi. 

Protecting it to ensure that it lasts as long as possible and stays looking like new should be a top priority. But not everyone is fortunate enough to have a garage or carport to keep his or her car, truck, SUV, or van protected while it's parked. If you're not protecting your car from damaging elements like rain, snow, sun, bird droppings, or tree sap then you're neglecting your vehicle.

One of the easiest ways to ensure that your vehicle is always protected is by using a car cover. Many people don't realize that car covers are not only available for cars. Many companies create and sell truck covers, SUV covers, and van covers in addition to car covers. This form of protection is a small investment to make for the level of protection you receive. Auto covers come in many different types, sizes, cuts, and prices and each one protects differently. Multi-layer one's provide the most protection while single-layer one's are great for vehicles that are often stored indoors. Waterproof one's are typically manufactured with ultrasonically welded seams to prevent moisture from penetrating the barrier. Reflective one's are a great option for vehicles in desert regions that see a lot of sun.

For people who have spent lots of money on their vehicles, you might want to consider purchasing a custom-fit auto cover from a company like Covercraft. Custom auto covers are manufactured to a vehicle's exact specifications. If your budget doesn't allow for the higher prices associated with custom vehicle covers, consider a semi-custom vehicle cover. Semi-custom vehicle covers are less expensive than custom-fit vehicle covers but still offer the same great protection while sacrificing fit slightly. Finally, if you're looking for a truly inexpensive solution, consider a universal or ready-fit auto cover. Universal ready-fit auto covers are typically "one size fits all" so you might experience pooling around the base of your vehicle. But at the end of the day, even a universal ready-fit car cover is better than no car cover at all.

So no matter what type of element you're trying to protect against, one thing is certain. Investing in a car cover, truck cover, SUV cover, or van cover is an easy and affordable way to begin protecting your vehicle from the damaging elements it's exposed to every day.

Car Audio - the source of unlimited fun in the car

Car Audio is one thing that can make we happy and fun in the car as well as Myvi.

There was a time, when we used to focus on car’s speed and horse power at the time of purchasing it. But today, while purchasing a car the focus of many people has shifted to car audio from speed and other technicalities. Needless to say, the younger generation is obsessed with music and they want to take music along with them wherever they go. This is the key reason behind the huge popularity as well as acceptability of car audio. In fact, the cars these days are manufactured with new and improved audio systems that look superior as compared to old cars with regular audio systems.

A car without an audio system is difficult to imagine. But it is observed that many people face the car audio problems. There are various reasons behind these issues like loose wires, issues with the audio amplifier, stereo or speakers and more. And because of it speakers produces popping or crackling sound. But do you know that there are many troubleshooting steps with which you can repair some of the car audio problems.

When the issues of your car audio system arises then first thing you need to do is find about the source of the problem. Do ensure that every wire between speakers, stereo, and the amplifier is connected appropriately. Disconnect the wire connecting stereo and amplifiers, but don’t unplug the cable which is connecting amplifier and speakers. If the problem continues, then are possibilities of amplifier being at fault. Or if the issue is solved, then simply disconnect the wire from radio.

When the stereo system stopped working then the issue clearly is of missing or loose connection. In this regard, check all the cables of stereo, amplifier, and speakers separately that they are properly connected.

If you face the issue of less sound from the speakers then it can happen due to lack of power supply. Check the power supply with the help of a power meter. As most of the time, they receiver power but it is not up to the mark and hence creating the issue of less sound.

If the speaker is not placed correctly then it might create the issues of buzzing sound or even vibrating sound. You can come over this issue by simply screwing the speakers a bit tighter.

So, with the help of all these tricks, you can easily fix up the small issues of your car audio. But if these tricks don’t work better then its time to take the help of a car stereo technician for getting your problems solved.

Make your supermini / Perodua Myvi more fun with car audio.

PERODUA MYVI 1.5 EXTREME

More news about Perodua Myvi.

EVER SINCE its introduction to the Malaysian market 5 years ago, enthusiasts have tried to get more performance out of the Perodua Myvi, with many tuners turbocharging the standard 1.3-litre cars. But there’s only so much a 1.3-litre engine can do, even with modifications and ultimately, a bigger engine is needed. Any modification, of course, means that the owner loses the warranty so for those who want more power, Perodua now gives a bigger engine.

The new 1.5-litre version answers the wishes of enthusiasts and because of the well-engineered chassis, it can accept the bigger engine easily. Incidentally, Perodua is the only one of the three companies (the others being Toyota and Daihatsu) that produce the Myvi which offers an engine of this size.

The 1.5-litre version is available as a ‘SE’ or the more aggressive Extreme which comes with an ‘extreme’ bodykit. The sharply-angled plastic accessories give the Myvi a more ‘fierce’ look and helps to differentiate it from the rest of the Myvis on the road.

The engine is similar to the one in the Alza. Compared to the 1.3-litre engine, power output is up 13% to 103 ps while there’s 16% more torque at 136 Nm. This obviously gives a better weight-to-power ratio as overall weight has only increased slightly. Manual and automatic transmissions are available.

The EPS (electronic power steering) has also had the aid reduced slightly to increase feedback. This is especially important for feeling your way through a corner at high speeds.

The advantage of having Malaysians substantially involved in the original development is that things like steering feel are tuned to Malaysian tastes. The weighting is just right but the Japanese regard it as being on the heavy side!

While there is a 4-speed automatic transmission available, I specifically requested a manual unit since such transmissions are so rare nowadays. There’s nothing like being able to shift yourself! Though the shifting felt a bit rubbery, it’s something that you can get used to after a while.

In terms of performance, the engine has a strong punch at the low end which surges the car forward. Thus, a new driver will need a while to adapt to the character and be more progressive with the pedal pressure. I think that it might have been nicer if the engineers moved more torque to the higher revs.

Thus it doesn’t take much effort to get the Myvi moving quickly. The light body allows it to build up reasonable speed in a short distance, and those who are used to driving the Myvi 1.3 may find that the straights are cleared slightly quicker than normal.

Handling, despite the stiffened shock absorbers, is a bit of a compromise. This is not to say it is bad because there is still comfort to be considered. Not everyone will buy the car for fast driving so the engineers have adjusted the settings a bit to cope with higher speeds.

A skilled driver would be able to handle the extra power and exploit the car’s stiffer suspension but for most people, it would be wiser to drive within your limits and not charge into a corner very fast assuming the stiffer suspension will take care of things.

Of course, if you never push the Myvi that hard, it’s not an issue and for most owners, that may be the case. Instead, the additional power comes in handy when overtaking other cars in daily driving. This is where the 1.5-litre engine is really good and many drivers will find it a joy to use.

Some may ask just who the Extreme Edition is for. My view is that it’s for those who want a little bit more than a standard Myvi and who have always dreamed of owning something sporty but can’t afford it. It is also for those who want extra power but are unwilling to modify the engine.

Perodua has ‘modified’ the Myvi for you and the nice thing is that the standard equipment provided in the Extreme Edition is similar to the highest spec Myvi, the Elegance. So you get the GPS and touchscreen entertainment unit occupying the centre console, and of course, you also get the full complement of safety features. Notable differences between the Myvi 1.3 and Myvi 1.5 are the all-black theme, red meter lighting and front bucket seats.

For the young and young at heart then, the Myvi Extreme is a worthwhile buy and it justifies its aggressive looks by having the performance to go with it. Prices for this version in the Kota Kinabalu area start from RM60,333, inclusive of insurance and roadtax. But if you want the bigger engine without the sporty bodykit, then you can save money as the SE version has prices starting from RM53,033.

Perodua Myvi vs Perodua Viva

Lets us find what is difference between Perodua MYVI and Perodua VIVA

I know some of you who are thinking of buying the Perodua Myvi are now considering buying the top of the range Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium instead. So I’m going to do a little comparison here. If you have anything to add, please feel free to comment.

Power

Interestingly, it seems that the same 1.0 liter DVVT EJ-VE engine in the Perodua Viva makes more torque than the Perodua Myvi’s 1.0 liter DVVT EJ-VE engine. The Viva claims to make 90Nm of torque at 3,600rpm, while the Myvi 1.0 liter only makes 88Nm at 3,600rpm – that’s a minor difference of only 2Nm though.

Since the Perodua Viva 1.0 liter would clearly beat the Myvi 1.0 in terms of power to weight ratio, so let’s compare the Myvi 1.3 to the Viva 1.0 Premium instead. The Myvi 1.3 weighs 955kg and puts out 86 horsepower. That’s a power to weight ratio of 0.09 horsepower per kg. As for the Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium, it weighs 800kg and puts out 60 horsepower – that gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.075 horsepower per kg.

So we can conclude that in a drag race, the Viva won’t be able to smoke it’s larger sibling in stock form. That doesn’t mean the Viva is terribly slow – in a previous supermini shootout done together with folks at NST Life & Times, I found that the Myvi effortlessly smoked other superminis with larger 1.5 liter engines.

Another thing to point out is the Perodua Myvi 1.3 liter uses a 4-cylinder engine, and 4-cylinder engines are alot smoother than 3-cylinder engines like the one found in the Perodua Viva. 3-cylinders have more vibration, which might end up being felt by you in the steering wheel and other points in the chassis.

Fuel Economy

According to Perodua’s own charts, the Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium can travel 17.5km per liter of petrol on a combined cycle which I suspect involves alot of light footed driving and highway cruising. This is for the manual transmission. The Myvi 1.3 manual is rated at 17.1km per liter of petrol. Very similar fuel consumption, however the people on the streets who actually own the Myvi 1.3 manual reports actual mileage of about 13 to 14 km per liter if driven frugally.

As for the auto transmission, Perodua says the Myvi 1.3 Auto can get 13.5 km per liter, however the average man on the street usually gets about 10 to 11 km per liter. Comparing it to the Viva 1.0 liter automatic, Perodua says it can get 15.1km per liter, so expect about 12km per liter in reality.

Thus we can assume the Viva automatic should be a little more frugal than the Perodua Myvi automatic, but for the manual transmission models actual fuel economy should prove to be about the same.

Space

The Perodua Viva is actually longer in the interior than the Perodua Myvi at 1845mm compared to the Perodua Myvis 1835mm, but a great margin narrower. Having a long interior is important, it ensures the rear passenger legroom is at comfortable levels, just like the Perodua Myvi’s. However, being narrower the downside is you can’t really fit 3 people in the rear bench comfortably, making the Perodua Viva more of a 4-seater than a 5-seater. The Viva’s boot is only 149 liters with the rear bench upright compared to the Myvi’s 255 liters, significantly smaller, however you can extend this size by dropping the rear passenger bench to create a 449 liter space.

Ride and Handling

Nothing much can be said about the Perodua Myvi’s handling abilities other than the fact that it’ll probably get you to work and back safely. From what I’ve heard from some journalists who’ve driven the car, I think I shouldn’t expect much of the Viva’s either. Which is a shame as the Kelisa was a somewhat fun drive. Many will miss the Kelisa’s zippy DNA which is reportedly missing in the new Viva. If you want a driver’s small car, go get the Proton Savvy.

Equipment levels

One thing I am concerned about is the lack of an integrated CD player head unit in the Perodua Viva, which means Viva owners will have to be careful about where they park their cars lest their mirrors get smashed and their head units stolen. However, this means the CD player can be easily swapped.

The equipment level of the Perodua Viva 1.0 liter standard is disappointing to be honest, not even proper alloy wheels are supplied, instead you are given steel wheels. This means a difference of roughly RM4k on average gets you airbags, ABS, proper alloy wheels, wing mirrors with signal lamps, roof spoiler, and etc. I’m really not sure if it’s worth it or not – I’ll leave it up to you.

The Perodua Myvi on the other hand has just about everything you need in the baseline 1.3 liter model. It also feels more premium because of an interior design that looks abit more higher grade, as well as Optitron-style meters which are self illuminating, unlike the backlit meter clusters of the Perodua Viva.

Safety

Both the Viva Premium and Myvi Premium have dual airbags, antilock brakes – the usual stuff. The Perodua Myvi’s Japanese cousin the 2005 Daihatsu Sirion scored a 4 star score in the Euro NCAP crash test for adult protection, while crash test results of the previous gen Daihatsu Mira that the Perodua Viva is based managed a 3 star rating.

Price

Perodua Viva 1000cc MT Solid: RM36,800
Perodua Viva 1000cc MT Metallic: RM37,200
Perodua Viva 1000cc AT Solid: RM39,800
Perodua Viva 1000cc AT Metallic: RM40,200
Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium MT Solid: RM40,800
Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium MT Metallic: RM41,200
Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium AT Solid: RM43,800
Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium AT Metallic: RM44,200

Perodua Myvi 1300cc MT Solid: RM43,007.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc MT Metallic: RM43,530.80
Perodua Myvi 1300cc AT Solid: RM45,912.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc AT Metallic: RM46,435.80
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium MT Solid: RM45,912.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium MT Metallic: RM46,435.80
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium AT Solid: RM48,792.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium AT Metallic: RM49,315.80

The differences between the non-Premium and Premium versions of the Perodua Viva is roughly about RM4,000, while in the Myvi it is only about RM2,900 or so.

So yeah, Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium Auto Metallic at RM44,200 or the Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium AT Metallic at RM49,315.80? That’s a difference of about RM5,000 there for a bigger engine, slightly more performance, a minor decrease in fuel consumption frugalness, a wider interior space, and a bigger boot.

The boot space doesn’t matter to me – both boots are too small for serious usage unless you put the rear bench seats down.

Now you can choice which one is better for you Perodua MYVI or Perodua VIVA.

Color Choice For Cars

Color choice, color protect, nice and beutiful car is one off our dream when we buy a new car. How to make color choice for your cars. Lets read this article.

Have you ever wondered how a person chooses the color of their car when purchasing a new or used vehicle? Aside from choosing a car for its safety, people also pick their new car based on their favorite color or the color that catches their eye the most. Other reasons why people choose certain colors for their car are colors that hide dirt, the color red, popular colors, white and classic colors that haven't been seen or used in quite some time.
Let's start with a person's favorite color. More often than not a person shopping around for a new car will choose the make and model but then agonize over finding the perfect car that matches their favorite color. Their favorite color can be anything from white to bright red and anywhere in between. Why would people choose the color white? The reason that most people choose the color white for their car is that it is extremely safe, especially at night. White is easily noticeable at any time of the day. White is so easily noticeable especially when light shines on it.
Another safe color is lime yellow. Lime yellow is used for fire trucks and rescue vehicles across the country but is not widely available for cars nor is it esthetic for cars either. Another popular color these days for cars is black. Black is as classic as it gets when choosing a classic car color. It was the original color used when cars were first being produced and manufactured in the United States. Black is easily seen during the daytime but is difficult to point out at night and when it rains. This color isn't as safe as the color white is on cars. The color black also begins to show dirt much easier than other colors.
For the previous handful of years studies have been released about the most popular color for cars. That color has been silver. Silver hides dirt and dust, reflects light at night, and is easily noticeable just like the color white. There is a downside to silver though. It tends to blend in with fog or at dusk and disappear with the pavement.
Others tend to choose a color that stands out amongst other cars. These colors are blue and green and all of their varieties. These colors are incredibly well likes by millions of drivers across the country and they are extremely calm colors. They do not call much attention to the car such as bright red. The downside of these colors is that they tend to show dirt and dust quite easier than other colors.
Aside from the color of silver, red is also an incredibly popular color for cars today, especially sports cars. The problem with the color red is that it tends to draw more attention from the police. Red is associated with speed and driving fast, even if that sounds like a stereotype. If you purchase a car with the color red some insurance companies will even raise the car owner's premiums because of the possibility of receiving tickets
