  • Vehicle Safety Ratings Estimated from Police Reported Crash Data: 2006 Update
    VEHICLE SAFETY RATINGS ESTIMATED FROM POLICE REPORTED CRASH DATA: 2006 UPDATE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND CRASHES DURING 1987-2004 by Stuart Newstead Linda Watson & Max Cameron Report No. 248 June 2006 Project Sponsored By ii MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Report Date ISBN Pages 248 June 2006 0 7326 2318 9 90 + Appendices Title and sub-title: VEHICLE SAFETY RATINGS ESTIMATED FROM POLICE REPORTED CRASH DATA: 2006 UPDATE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND CRASHES DURING 1987-2004 Author(s) Type of Report & Period Covered Newstead, S.V., Cameron, M.H. and Watson, L.M. Summary Report, 1982-2004 Sponsoring Organisations - This project was funded as contract research by the following organisations: Road Traffic Authority of NSW, Royal Automobile Club of Victoria Ltd, NRMA Ltd, VicRoads, Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia Ltd, Transport Accident Commission and Land Transport New Zealand, the Road Safety Council of Western Australia, the New Zealand Automobile Association and by a grant from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau Abstract: Crashworthiness ratings measure the relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury to their own drivers in crashes whilst aggressivity ratings measure the serious injury risk vehicles pose to drivers of other vehicles and unprotected road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Updated crashworthiness ratings and aggressivity ratings for 1982- 2004 model vehicles were estimated based on data on crashes in Victoria and New South Wales during 1987-2004 and in Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand during 1991-2004. Both crashworthiness and aggressivity were measured by a combination of injury severity (the risk of death or serious injury given an injury was sustained) and injury risk (the risk of injury given crash involvement).

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.

  • Installation Instructions 89-05 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 1.6L B6 Or BP 1.8L Engine
    Qmax Coolant Reroute Installation Instructions 89-05 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 1.6L B6 or BP 1.8L engine Read notes 1-8 before you begin (or you will be unhappy with your install) 1. Disconnect battery. 2. It is recommended to have a Mazda FSM (Factory Service Manual) on hand before beginning any service on your Miata. Trust us :) 3. DO NOT attempt this install on a hot engine. Let car sit at least 6 hours before beginning installation. 4. Tips to make your Qmax Reroute install easier. a) Place entire car on jack stands so you don't have to bend over so much. b) Remove hood. Be sure to mark position of hinges against hood to save alignment. c) Work where there is plenty of light. d) A Lisle 24680 funnel for bleeding will save you time. Highly recommended. 5. The installation requires tightening NPT fasteners. These are tapered thread and self sealing. The tapered thread will naturally begin to bind while rotating in and eventually stop. Do not over torque these fittings or sensors. Over torqueing can crack or split the housing. 6. Do Not apply sealant or PTFE tape to sensors that use a crush washer. The crush washer is the seal. 7. Apply supplied sealant to all NPT "tapered" threads. Assemble parts immediately after applying the Permatex 22071 sealant, while still wet and tacky. No need to let the sealant dry. 8. It is possible, with significant improvements to your cooling system, that the engine may not come fully up to ideal operating temp of 185-205°F in very cold weather.

IT’S A COMBINATION THAT’S EARNED THE MAZDA6 OVER 110 INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE AWARDS SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION. BUT WE’RE NOT SURPRISED. AFTER ALL, IF THERE’S A SMARTER, MORE RELIABLE OR FUN WAY TO MAKE SOMETHING MOVE, MAZDA ENGINEERS ARE ALL OVER IT. WHICH IS WHY, AS WE CRAFT, TOOL, STITCH AND FIT TOGETHER YOUR NEW MAZDA6, WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DESIRE TO TAKE ANY SHORTCUTS. AND AS A RESULT, NEITHER WILL YOU. IT’S THE ZOOM-ZOOM WAY. SOPHISTICATED SUSPENSION. Is there magic in the way a MAZDA6 handles? Perhaps. But in reality, it’s mostly a matter of advanced chassis design and tuning.

The one-two cadence that propels us all from deep within. Thump-Thump. Goes the heart. The boxer throws the powerful one-two—boxing’s most feared combination. Two quick claps of the hands and dancers prepare for perfection. Snap your fi ngers two times and watch as everyone around gets ready to move. Why do rock legends tap the microphone twice before melting your face? What makes a thoroughbred’s muscles respond to two clicks from a jockey’s mouth? This is no mere coincidence. The double beat lives on a deeper level. An emotional level. It’s a universal tribal-like connection. It’s everywhere. And we’ve followed it for over 40 years. Always building to it. It’s what drove us to make the MX-5 Miata, the best- selling roadster of all time. The MAZDASPEED3, one of the fastest front-wheel-drive cars on the planet. And the CX-9, 2008 North American Truck of the Year. It’s what stirs our soul. And what has led us to its most refi ned and reimagined form yet.

    For Immediate Release Contacts: Jeremy Barnes, Mazda North American Operations, 949.727.6844 Danica Laub, Mazda North American Operations, 949.727.6220 Tim Gilman, Mazda Information Bureau, 949.223.2313 MAZDA B-SERIES: FINDING THE MIDDLEGROUND BETWEEN STYLE AND FUNCTION If purchasing a new pickup truck means having to compromise style for reliability or vice versa, then the 2007 Mazda B-Series breaks the mould. The B-Series is designed to give savvy consumers exactly what they want – comfort, durability and practicality all in one stylish package. Featuring ample power and strong towing capacity, the B-Series is built to haul up to 5,600 pounds, and with available four-wheel drive, it can handle the toughest off-highway terrain. Yet, this rugged truck boasts a comfortable and refined cabin and looks just as good strutting its stuff on the city’s paved paths. Available as a two-door Regular Cab or four-door, four-seat Cab Plus and with a choice of 2.3-liter four-cylinder, 3.0-liter V6 and 4.0-liter V6 engines and two or four-wheel drive systems, the B-Series is sure to leave an impression on any surface. The Mazda B-Series truck continues its value story in 2007 with a variety of standard features and an extensive options list, giving customers an opportunity to customize the truck to suit personal tastes. Two standard equipment additions mark the most significant changes to the B-Series for 2007. Tire pressure monitor systems are now standard on all B-Series for added safety.
