So, much to my pleasure, when I arrived a little early for C&C on 16th July, the traditional Jaguar Row was already partially set up, and JAGSL members were nonchalantly-yet-strategically socializing in empty spots, reserving them for anticipated Jaguar arrivals. Now, since I had two passengers, the two-seater Jag wouldn’t do, so I ap- peared in my VW Bus. As I began to wonder whether I should pull next to the beautiful Jaguars already lined up, the gallant and wonderful John Sippel waved me in, gesturing with no uncertainty that the Bus was welcome next to his superb XK. A wonderful start to a fine C&C, to be certain, and it remained a pleasurable time for the duration.

(The Growl, note, was the first area news outlet to report this incident.) An odd bookend for Jag Row, but if the sun had risen from the west that day, John’s XK would have been well-protected, eh? No, I’m not talking to my feet: the JAGSL Vice President betrays the Club by fueling the passion of a very young auto enthusiast (whose head is just visible behind the XK bonnet) … for air- cooled VWs. He asked his lovely parents about all the sports cars at C&C, “Is that a racecar?” But for the VWs and Minis, he addressed the cars directly, “Hi!” and offered a cheery wave.

  • Computational Modelling of Six Speed Hybrid Gear Box and Its Simulation Using Simulinkas an Interactive Tool of MATLAB
    Devesh R Upadhyayet al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 2, (Part - 2) February 2016, pp.55-61 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Computational modelling of six speed hybrid gear box and its simulation using Simulinkas an interactive tool of MATLAB Devesh Ramphal Upadhyay1* SandeepSingh1 Mahesh Kumar Gupta2 1 B.tech Department of Mechanical Engineering, S.R.M. University Chennai, India 2Assistant professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, S.R.M University NCR Campus, New Delhi, India Abstract The paper introduces an idea which adds itself into contribution of getting best fuel economy of a passenger car when it is running at high speed on a highway. A six speed (forward) gear box is addressed in the paper which is controlled manually and automatically as well. The paper introduces an advancement in manual transmission gear box for passenger cars. Hydraulic circuit is designed with mechatronics point of view and resulting in making the shifting of gear automatically. A computational design is made of the Hybrid Gear Box (HGB) using CATIA P3 V5 as a designing software. A new gear meshing in 5 speed manual transmission gear box which synchronizes with the output shaft of the transmission automatically after getting command by the automated system designed. Parameters are considered on the basis of practical model and is been simulated by using Simdriveline as the Simulink tool of MATLAB r2010a. The mechanical properties of the components of the hybrid gear box is calculated on the basis of the functional parameters and with help of the fundamental and dependent properties formulation.

  • Porsche's 944/951/968
    964 Carrera 4 Cabriolet at the 1989 Motor Show, London 964 History by Ken Chambers, PCGB 964 Registry Secretary and Sideways Sid, PCGB 964 Owner That the Porsche 911 is legendary in the world of performance cars is unquestionable. With its distinctive shape and totally individual character the 911 has appealed to driving enthusiasts since its introduction in 1963. In 1989 the first major update resulted in the 964 model in the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 (Built on the experience of the Porsche 959). A year later followed the two-wheel drive Carrera 2. Production of these cars ran from 1989 up until 1993 and the introduction of the 993. During this period some 3,692 were imported into the United Kingdom. Although over 85% of the components had been redesigned, the body style remain faithful to the classic lines of the 911. Improved aerodynamics using knowledge gained from Le Mans winning 959 and 962, reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift greatly improved stability and road holding at high speed. A retractable rear spoiler automatically extends at 50mph and whilst increasing the downforce also doubles the volume of air intake for improved engine cooling. The spoiler automatically retracts at below 60 mph. The capacity of the famous flat six engine increased to 3.6 Litres. Gained twin spark ignition and become the most powerful normally aspirated 911 production engine with 250 bhp and 310 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm, 0-60 coming up in just over 5 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph Tiptronic Electro-hydraulically controlled 4 speed transmission was as an option for the first time, giving the combination of manual and automatic gear selection being supplemented by immediate up or down gear selection by 'tipping' the gear lever forward or backwards.

  • BRIDGESTONE- - 350 GTO Does Anyone Remember Buck Rogers
    BRIDGESTONE- - 350 GTO Does Anyone Remember Buck Rogers . Anyone At All? CVCL,E yr/mnR - I”ZK ROGERS FLYS again. Only this time he would RI/ probably wear an “Easy Rider” helmet, as it would go quite well with the vroom-whoosh styling of Bridge- r stone’s 350 GTO. The effect is quite jarring, for the GTO is only a minor variation of the 350 GTR which first made its appearance in 1967 and has changed little since. The GTR, with its low pipes, was a sleek, dartlike machine, softened with gentle curves in the tank and seat. The only I thing the manufacturers have done to create the GTO is to 1 replace the original muffler system with a pair of huge, high-mounted silencers in gun-metal black, tipped with chrome 1 stinps, and add a cross-brace to the handlebars. It’s a simole change, hut the result is wild. The design becomes m&h husicr. You can no longer call it subtle, or sophisticated, or sleek. It definitely look? cohhy, and the exhaust pipes appear 48 as though they are an afterthought. The engine area does not suffer, as the beautifully polished induction case covers are still in full view, but the total effect is somewhat nervous, Riding the CT0 is rather like riding a two-wheeled exclama- tion point! “Hmmm, what’s that?” the man on the street kept saying to us from every gas station and parking lot, Apparently not everyone in this country seeks to be sleek, soft or subtle. So, good for Bridgestone.

Index terms – Engine and gearbox tuning, Petrol v/s Diesel, Close Transmission ratio, Engine Stalling, 4WD ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Today’s era is marching towards the rapid growth of automobile industries. There is a higher demand of Speed and Performance. But along with all that efficiency and fuel consumption is also important. This Paper gives a detailed study about gear ratios in an automobile gearbox and their relation with Engine Specifications, i.e. Power, Torque, rpm at which maximum power and Torque generate and vehicle utility. Gearboxes are frequently used in an automobile for Power transmission, Because Torque requirement of a vehicle vary with Speed. The main functions of a gear box is as follow: 1. It Provides Torque which is needed to move the vehicle under variety of road and Load conditions. It can be obtain by changing gear ratio between engine crankshaft and vehicle drive wheels. 2. Can shift into Reverse gear so the vehicle can move in backward direction. 3. Can shift into Neutral for rest and starting Position. It tells why gearbox of a Petrol and Diesel Engine is different for the same car, this is explained by taking an example of Maruti Suzuki Swift.
