  • Performance Tuner Magazine Article TECH : Dyno Discrepancies Transcribed Because of Image Quality
    Performance Tuner Magazine Article TECH : Dyno Discrepancies Transcribed because of image quality Subtitle : Think of a Number Performance is a numbers game. But just how reliable are those numbers when they’re produced on a rolling-road? We take one car to five different chassis dynamometers on the same day to answer that question. Story and photos : Peter Knivett Rolling-road thrashes : don’t you just love them? Gathering a group of similar machines together at some willing rolling road always makes for pretty interesting reading – and particularly the owner’s reactions after what can all too often be a disappointing power run. The textbook line is usually ‘I’m gutted, I thought it would make over 300bhp,’ when their pride and joy has actually made just 187 bhp. On the face of it, who’d argue with this disappointed punter’s line of thinking? After all, they’ve probably spent thousands of pounds on all the right tuning goodies, plus they ‘had a mate on an internet forum who’s told me it must be really quick, because his brother said so, and he worked at Prodrive once, and he knows what he’s talking about…’ Month in, month out, you see this sort of tale repeated across all sectors of the performance tuning market, and it never fails to amuse, because it’s a classic case of putting the component-expenditure cart before the testing horse. Despite melting his credit card by splashing out on tuning goodies our disappointed punter forgot to spend just 50-75 pounds having his car tested on a rolling-road, which could well have made a crucial difference to its ultimate performance.

    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Impact of Globalization on the Australian Automobile Industry case of Ford Falcon Molintas, Dominique Trual 11 December 2016 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/96622/ MPRA Paper No. 96622, posted 23 Oct 2019 12:27 UTC Figure 1 The Ford Model T was introduced by Henry Ford 1863-1947 In 1908, production of the car in Australia began in 1925 (Getty Images, 2013 ABC Net) Impact of Globalization on the Australian Automobile Industry case of Ford Falcon ABSTRACT Globalisation demand on productivity tells of an extreme competition and low profitability in the World Automobile Industry which blatantly opposes competitive equilibrium as it is highly regulated. Regulatory measures primarily in reference with trade and followed by ecological protection. Trade protectionism curtails the threat of substitution by way of import quotas and tariffs, administrative barriers and subsidies. Government subsidies have reached millions of dollars, Australia AUD1966M, Germany 1303M and 2908M in America. In the category of environment protection, the Energy and Conservation Act of 1975 costs roughly USD 2000 on compliance per manufactured unit. These aside the high cost on advertising, development research and labour unrest; dampen production locations burdened by overcapacity: Germany and Italy, France and Australia, USA and Japan. In a fragmented value chain stretching across multiple industries, manufacturers thinly spread as production entails specialty knowledge and expensive tools. No single company controlling enough market shares to influence world industry decisions that might induce radical industry transitions. Many outfits close shop over prolonged business slowdown. Death of 80 year old National Treasure Ford Falcon Territory 2016 is a decision to end all losses over the past five years for the amount of 600 million dollars with 23 percent coming off 2012 fiscal year.

  • TTT Mar 2009
    THE EDITOR I recently received a non-renewal slip from a TTT subscriber, who told me that he needed to cut back on his spending. Fair enough, I thought – fortunately, I don’t get many of these. However, the ‘sting in the tail’ was that he didn’t see why he, as a MGCC non-member, should have to pay an extra 50% on top of the MGCC members’ subscription to receive TTT! Now that did rather make me sit up and take notice and I thought that I would take a couple of paragraphs of this editorial to explain the basis on which TTT is financed and demonstrate how close to the wind that we sail. First of all “Totally T-Type” is produced as a Register publication of the MG Car Club. The ‘T’ Register is an integral part of the MG Car Club and TTT is produced essentially as ADDED VALUE to MGCC membership. Mindful of the fact that members already pay their MGCC subscription, it is my objective to keep the TTT subscription at the lowest possible level, consistent with it not being a drain on the Register’s finances. I can tell you that this is a very fine balancing act and we have only just managed to achieve it this year. Printing costs for a full colour magazine are substantial, but if we had twice as many subscribers the printing costs would not be twice what they are – hence the need to revisit the issue of charging Internet “subscribers”. Mailing costs are small by comparison, but are a growing proportion of the whole as Royal Mail continues to jack up the tariffs to compensate for the not insignificant loss in mail volumes due to the growth of e-mail.
