New Opel Insignia OPC

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:10:29 +0000

The high performance version of the Car of the Year 2009 will be unveiled on May 7, when the Opel Insignia OPC premieres at the Barcelona Motor Show, ten years after the launch of the first OPC model (Opel Performance Center). The heart of the Insignia OPC is its 2.8 V6 Turbo engine. Derived from the powerful gasoline engine already available on the top-of-the-line Insignia, this version reaches an output of 239 kW/325 hp.

The increase in power was obtained by a special engine development and by reworking the exhaust, significantly reducing the counter pressure. And because sound is so important in the appreciation of an engine, the acoustic specialists worked on the exhaust of the V6 by adopting specific center and rear mufflers.

The Insignia OPC is available with a six-speed manual gearbox. The strong torque of 400 Nm ensures abundant pulling power even at lower engine speeds. With this engine performance, the Insignia OPC reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (restricted) and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in six seconds.

The already very well performing Insignia chassis was further fine tuned for the OPC variant which ride height has been reduced by 10 mm compared to the Insignia (AWD Sport version). The newly developed mechatronic chassis also receives a new front axle. The front suspension architecture of the Insignia OPC retains a so called McPherson strut, however the engineers at the Opel Performance Center came up with an evolution called HiPerStrut (for high performance strut). Benefits are an improved steering feel, reduced steering disturbances due to the high torque and an enhanced feeling in the handling for the driver.

The Insignia OPC also comes with the adaptive FlexRide suspension which not only adapts to driving situation and driving style but also to the driver’s preferences. While on the Insignia the system offers the choice between a standard adaptive setting, a more comfortable mode and a sport mode, the OPC is definitely addressing those enjoying a sportier ride. OPC drivers can choose between three different sport modes: the standard mode as the high comfort setting, a special Sport mode and the OPC mode, for optimal performance.

For the first time also in the OPC portfolio, the Adaptive 4×4 system and its electronic rear limited slip differential (eLSD) are standard. The four-wheel drive management unit has been recalibrated to adapt torque distribution to the sporty philosophy of the OPC. Taking the higher performances of the OPC into consideration, significant development efforts were put into further improving the brake system. Connoisseurs will immediately spot the Brembo calipers and the perforated 355 mm disc on the front axle.

“I was personally involved in the development of the Insignia OPC and I very much enjoyed extensive testing on the most demanding race track of the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Our target was to rival the “best of the best”,” said Hans Demant, Managing Director Adam Opel GmbH.

Distinctive looks are a clear statement on dynamic ambitions

The top-of-the-line body style dressed in an elegant sports outfit is inspired by the GTC concept car which starred in 2007, but still remains true to the Insignia’s design philosophy of sculptural artistry meets German precision.

Compared to less powerful versions of the Insignia, the OPC shows a spectacular new front end with two large vertical intakes and a specific rear bumper with dual integrated exhausts. The 19-inch wheels (tires: 245/40) are standard and give the car the stance it deserves. New 20-inch lightweight forged wheels (with 255/35 tires) are available as an option.

The dynamic sportiness of the exterior is also mirrored in the cockpit. When opening the door, the OPC is immediately impressive, from unique Recaro seats to a flat-bottomed sporty steering wheel and specific gear knob. The OPC also presents distinctive instrument graphics.

“The Insignia OPC marks the beginning of a new era for our OPC portfolio; still bold, but also more mature and refined, and more ambitious than ever. The OPC epitomizes the Insignia experience: dynamic and refined”, says Alain Visser, GM Europe Vice President Opel.

Get the Best Home Insurance

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:00:38 +0000

Your home is your biggest and most important asset. It is possibly the biggest investment you have ever made in your life and it falls upon you to protect this asset in the most responsible manner. It is not just the structure of the house, but also the property and the personal items inside the house and property that are of value and need to be protected. Fire, theft and natural calamities can cause great damage to the house and property and the valuables inside. You need a home insurance policy to protect you from financial losses in the event of such unforeseen disasters that cause you financial loss.

Several insurance companies offer home insurance covers and depending on the type of house you have and the financial requirement, the coverage offered also differs. Even if you are living in a rented house, some insurance companies offer you coverage for the contents inside the house.

To get a good home insurance cover, all you need to do is get on to the internet and browse the different websites that offer home insurance. Shop around for the best price and cover before you make the decision.

A home insurance policy works pretty much like any other policy. You pay a certain premium on a monthly basis and you get covered for the standard events and also some riders that you may opt for. The amount of premium that you pay will be decided by several factors such as the age of the house, the kind of building material that was used in construction, the area of the house, the number of rooms, type of heating system installed, the distance from the fire station and also the number of people who live in the house. If you live in an area that is prone to bush fire, flood or other calamities, these events cease to be unforeseen incidents anymore and some insurance companies may not cover you. Specialized insurance companies covering these kinds of eventualities may also charge a higher premium. It is worthwhile to opt for a cover in spite of the high premium.

When you purchase your insurance cover, make sure that the events that you need to be covered for are included in the policy. For example you may have some valuable jewelry that you keep in the house. You may want to check with the insurer up to what value the jewelry is covered for theft in the standard policy. If the coverage is not sufficient for you, most insurance companies give you the option of additional cover by paying a small extra premium. If you have specific jewelry, you may even list it with the insurer and keep the receipts of purchase if you have any so that in case it gets stolen you are compensated without much ado.

If you live in a rented house you will have to opt for a separate policy that covers your personal assets that are in the house. The landlord my have a home insurance taken out that will cover damage to the structure of the house, but that insurance will not cover loss or damage to the contents inside. The contents are yours and it is up to you to take out a separate insurance for that. If you live in a rented house it is also advisable to have a liability cover included.

How Child Car Seats Work

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:06:36 +0000

Most of us wouldn’t even think of travelling in a car without fastening our seatbelt, and for good reason. In a crash, at just 30 miles per hour (48.3 kilometers per hour), an unrestrained passenger is thrown forward with a force thirty to sixty times their body weight. What if that unrestrained passenger were a small child? The child would almost certainly be hurled about inside the vehicle, injuring themselves and other passengers. Worse still, they’re likely to be thrown from the vehicle through one of the windows.

It’s not even safe to hold a child on your lap while driving. In a crash, the child could be crushed between your body and part of the interior of the car. Even if you were held in by a seatbelt the child would be pulled from your arms by the force of the collision. You simply wouldn’t be able to hold on to the child, no matter how hard you tried.

Honda Civic and Honda Civic vtec

The Honda Civic is a line of compact cars developed and manufactured by Honda. In North America, the Civic is the second-longest continuously-running nameplate from a Japanese manufacturer; only the Toyota Corolla, introduced in 1968, has been in production longer. The Civic, along with the Accord and Prelude, comprised Honda’s vehicles sold in North America until the 1990s, when the model lineup was expanded. Having gone through several generational changes, the Civic has become larger and more upmarket, and it currently slots between the Fit and Accord.

It was introduced in July 1972 as a two-door coupe, followed by a three-door hatchback that September. With the transverse engine mounting of its 1169 cc engine and front-wheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided good interior space despite overall small dimensions. Early models of the Civic were typically outfitted with a basic AM radio, heater, foam-cushioned plastic trim, two-speed wipers and painted steel rims with a chromed wheel nut cap. As the years went by, it has become much more upscale with options such as air conditioning, power locks, and power windows, leather upholstery, satellite-linked navigation, and a six-speed manual transmission. Initially gaining a reputation for being fuel-efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly, later iterations have become well-known for performance and sportiness, especially the Civic Type-R and Civic Si.
The Civic has been rebadged for international markets with such models as the Honda Ballade and Honda Domani/Acura EL. The Civic platform also served as the basis for the CR-X sport compact, the CR-X del Sol targa convertible, and the CR-V compact SUV.

As of 2008, the Civic has been the top-selling car in Canada for eleven straight years. With high gas prices and a weak economy in June 2008, the Civic supplanted the Ford F-Series to become the top-selling vehicle in the United States for that month.
