Diesel → Natural Gas Conversion Kit Cuts Diesel Use by 71%, PM by 80%, NO_x by 15% (#)

„We are interested in a better CNG/LNG conversion kits/ or any high end components. Our current CNG kits are only applicable to limited number of car models and makes. Personally, I think that the CNG kits for Gasoline (EFI and Carburator) should have better performance than 15km/CNG kg on our imported PTT type I cylinder and the same for the kits that will consume least Diesal. If your products can go further than our current conversion technologies, please let us know.“

just-auto.com: The automotive business blog (#)

„But here's an online car directory (below link to'World of Cars') that you can download for free (good marketing ploy). Worth having, though it is stuffed out with specialist kit-car makers (that's worth a browse mind - didn't know someone in Britain is making a Lotus Europa replica) and is slightly out of date - 2005 edition. It's a free download, but be warned that the pdf file is 60MB, so it takes a while to come down the line ...“

Chicago Auto Show: Toyota press kit quality slipping? - Autoblog (#)

„When car-makers introduce new vehicles at auto shows they hand out press kits to all the media afterwards that contain all the relevant information. One of the more useful things that are generally included in the kits are CDs with all the studio photos, press release and assorted other information. For those of us here at Autoblog, immediately after an intro, we head back to the media center, pop in the CD to upload the photos and start writing our stories.“

Superformance rebuilds the original GT40 to spec - Autoblog (#)

„Unfortunately, there's always something a little off about the design that doesn't quite match up with the way we remember the original, and nearly always they're only skin deep, offering up merely the appearance of authenticity with the substance of something much lesser. Superformance , the producers of the best Cobra and Cobra Daytona Coupes replicas in the business, builds something a little more than a "kit car" ...“

Car Video Clips from Road Tests & Auto Show Car Videos - Automobile Magazine (#)

„What happens when a Korean carmaker throws an aftermarket short shift kit, cold air intake, and front stress bar onto its entry-level hatchback? Suddenly, a goofy little front-driver becomes Chuckable Rallycar Junior. We spent a day with the Hyundai Accent SE on the unpaved back roads around Ann Arbor--and we actually had a lot of fun.“

Video: Ultima GTR sets new 0-100-0mph record (#)

„arguing whether the Bugatti is better than the Ultima GTR is irrelevant. One, the Ultima GTR is 5 times less expensive (once completed) than the Veyron and is a kit car. Two, the Veyron may not even stay in production. With that in mind, this beast is like an Exige on serious steriods (below avg market price high performance thrills)“
