Cars Guide

Talking about the interior and exterior mirrors. Passenger car, designed for right movement, equipped with a rear-view mirror located in the cabin, and the left side outside mirror. In the case of glass design of the car behind is not provided, no need to install rear-view mirror. The presence of right-side mirror is required if rear-view mirror is not enough to ensure the desired angle (when the glass from behind closed curtains) in the absence of glass. To properly install side mirror, look into it and turn it until it disappeared in the image of the automobile. In the same way to customize and right side mirror, if it is installed on the car. Want to note that the driver's head while adjusting the mirrors kept straight forwards. Adjust the rearview mirror. It shows the way to the rear and side of the car. On proper adjustment of the mirror depends on safety while driving. When the mirror is configured correctly, then the center of the mirror match, with respect, with the center of the rear view window. In the case of proper adjustment of mirrors, all the mirrors give the driver full and appropriate review of car environmental conditions. This can not be viewed in places not allowed. How to verify the correctness of the settings of mirrors? Does anyone suppose that slowly begins to bypass the car about 2 meters away from him. You are watching his movements in the mirror. When the reflection of a person disappears from the side mirror and immediately appear in the rearview mirror, located in the cabin, mirrors made correctly. In the same way we define the existence of not viewed in places where people can not see. Can be a little bent, leaning forward, the breadth of the review will increase. From the side mirror reflection should look the side of his car (usually takes in the mirror no more than 2 cm), in order to be seen, as are other members of the movement in relation to your car. The horizon line should be located slightly below the middle of the mirror.

As you know, since September last year in Russia enacted a new technical regulation on safety of wheeled vehicles, whereby the windshield, front side windows and the front glass door of the car must have a light transmittance of at least 70 percent . In practice, this effectively means a ban on the use of tinted glasses on data from the vehicle. We will not speculate on whether this ban and the reasons for its introduction, the adherents of a ride in the "tanks" or "tanks" have long been debating about it for a different car forums. Moreover, in addition to the requirements the traffic police to remove the tinting may be still a number of objective reasons. The film eventually wears away and scratched, lose its original luster, fade under the action of sunlight, which does not add points appearance cars. The purpose of this article - to tell how quickly and accurately independently rastonirovat glass without excessive costs, given that rastonirovka at SRT costs an average of one third the price of toning. So, for the successful implementation of the conceived need a hair dryer building (capacity not less than 2 kW), a razor, or better yet a scraper (see photo) or, in extreme cases, metal engineering ruler, spray washing windows (can be any good, but it is desirable to alcohol content); newsprint. By itself, the process of removing the film is not a daunting job, but will require patience and care. Better to start from the top. A small portion of the glass surface to heat the dryer, while still controlling the uniformity of heating. When under the influence of hot-air film is about to start to melt, with srebka or razor to pry its edge. If an instrument of labor is a line, you need to press it to the surface and move, and the film should get together like an accordion. Now the matter of technology - embarked on the edge of the film hands and pull down to accelerate the process, you can warm up the bottom of the glass. After separation of the film above method on the stele are spots of glue, to get rid of that can be read. On the part of the surface spray spray window cleaners, heat the stream of air from the dryer and the building very quickly, while hot glass, wipe it with newspaper space, exerting some effort. Repeat the process again and again until, while glass will not clean. Some craftsmen manage to cope with the process rastonirovki and without the use of a hair dryer. To do this after the film managed to hook area, its beginning to strip off parallel to the water spraying from the spray a few drops of baby shampoo in place of separation of glass and film. If everything is done slowly and carefully, most of the adhesive layer remains on the film rather than glass. The fact that the water in this case acts as an activator of the acrylic adhesive. After removal of the film will only have to cut glass with a slight adhesive residue, soak them with water and shampoo, and wiped dry surface. Various small helpers to your car you can buy in the automobile. Accessories for cars can be bought at online shop FoxCar.

Of great importance is the collapse of the adjustment - convergence of the car. First, it contributes to the stability of the car on the road, and secondly, supports the longevity of mechanisms that make up the nodes running gear. In addition, if your machine unbalanced collapse - toe, it could cause an accident. The first thing, before adjusting the car's wheels, you need to check tire pressure, it must be the same. Then, install a machine on a flat surface and place in a rectilinear direction of the wheel. To remove the remaining friction in the suspension, you sleduet2 3 times with a force push to the front and rear bumper. The next step in this procedure is to define convergence. To do this, you need between the rims front and rear axles to determine the difference. This can be done using special instrumentation or special rulers. This range consists of interconnected telescoping tubes, chains and control terminals. Measuring with a telescopic motion of the tubes takes place through the indicator scale. It is important that you set the line at the front of the wheel, while the control chain should touch the floor, and the ends of the tire should rest against lugs. Next, you should be on the measuring scale, put the arrow back to zero. Then roll the car up to the time when the line will stay on the centerline of the wheel behind. In addition, its vertical position can not be changed. Measuring its size in millimeters of alignment, you can understand how she shifted from the norm. To achieve the recommended standards, you will need on the side steering rockets to adjust the clutch linkage. When finished adjusting clutch, do not forget to pull off their tight bolts. In addition to the special line, camber can be done with a plumb or ordinary smooth rectangle. Raise the car with the jack, so that the wheels do not touch the floor. Then find the point of equal beats. They are located on opposite sides and are located on the sidewalls of tires. Next you should find support as a stand, it will help you make a withdrawal and a supply of chalk to the side of the tire rotating wheel. Then, you put notches on opposite sides of the speakers, where on the chalk marks were left, and then turn the wheel so that the labels were on the vertical. To determine the camber, you need to install next to the wheel of a rectangle or a plumb line. From the top of the rim before the plummet or rectangle - will be the distance. Value should fluctuate within the limits - of 1-5 mm. If the value exceeds the desired size, then you need to reduce it. This process can be done by adding shims, and washers. They should be the same thickness. These materials must be installed between the axis of the lower lever and the crossbar. If you can not cope with this type of work or if you have any difficulties, better consult a qualified professional stations.

To the color of the car found metallic effect, it must be painted with two coats. The first layer - the base, the second layer - paint. It is very important to select quality materials and of course to use them properly. Just need a more thorough preparation of the body. For the first layer of paint need to "Nitro", she will give the color and the desired effect, for the second layer of paint will be needed, it will give a shiny car, as well as protect the body from the external environment. So, the first stage of painting is the preparation of the body. In the first of its surface must be degreased. This will require antisilikonovaya liquid, it can be purchased in any auto shops, and clean towels. On one napkin to cause the liquid and the second will need to wipe the surface dry. This stage requires particular attention. Better quality than its produce, the better will be painting in general. The second stage - it's blowing a car. Blowing can be performed before and after de-oiling it. But to save time it can be done only after degreasing. Blowing should be carried out to remove all the small mote and dust, otherwise they shall cleave to the body during the painting and spoil the view. After rinsing the body additionally be treated dust cloth, with her removed to the smallest speck of dust. Next, the third stage - the application of paint. It should be done only with paint. So when painting is not a band or spots of different shades, it must be applied in two layers. The first layer, we can not hesitate to put on tap, with the help of this, we paint the spots of soil and give the body a uniform color. If you do not get the desired results, then painted again, but only after the evaporation of the solvent. The last deposited layer should be opaque, which means that evaporation occurred hardener. Only after that can be taken as the most important base layer, which should not retain the stripes and spots. To do this, add the solvent in the paint and increase the flow of air in the gun. Apply paint to spraying, you will need to make sure that the layer was deposited on the surface of the body evenly. And finally, the final stage - covering car polish. This stage is the easiest. Here the most important thing to prevent stains. Varnish should be applied uniformly in two or three layers. Between them to produce dried and tested for tack. To do this lightly presses his finger to the lacquered surface, and then detaches it, but will hear the sound of "plunk" and the particles of varnish should not stick to your finger. After just the second layer is uniformly covered with lacquer. Thoroughly dried. To speed up the drying can increase the temperature of the room where the painting is made. When necessary to apply a third layer. Painting a car is finished, but to bring everything to the mind, it must be polished. To do this, you will need an ordinary wax which is based, is wax or polish. Rub the polish to a soft cloth, in any case, it is impossible to do with the open sun, as sunlight heats the body, and polish on it starts to dry out very quickly.

Over time, Tinted car windows dim, loses its former brilliance, fade or it gets scratched. Thus, the car loses its appeal. In this situation, there is nothing for it but to replace the dubbing film. However, to toned glass machine, you need to get rid of the old toning. At the moment, car services, this service costs money, so here we tell you how you can rastonirovku own hands. This process requires a lot of attention and patience. And so, in order to implement rastonirovku yourself you will need: - Building dryer (dryers with a little power will not do) - a thin metal bench line or razor blades (old style) - for removing adhesive - high-quality detergent for windows. Process rastonirovki car windows. 1. Before you start rastonirovanie car windows, you should warm up the glass to room temperature. 2. The procedure for removal of dubbing the film. 3. Eliminating the adhesive layer from car windows. 4. Cleaning the glass by means of glasses. So, let's begin. To begin to remove the old tint from the glass you need to warm up to room temperature. This can be done by building a hair dryer. Take a hair dryer and uniformly heat the surface of the glass. Heating glass should be very careful not to get a strong overheating. Otherwise, the glass of your car can crack. Once you have warmed the glass, you can safely proceed to rastonirovaniyu. Find the edge of the film and gently pry the edge of the blade dubbing a film, and then slowly tear it off the glass. Once the film is removed, you need to get rid of the remaining glue on the glass. To do this, take the vehicle to clean the adhesive layer and spray it evenly across the surface of the glass. After spraying, the glass will foam, which should remain on the glass in the machine for 3-5 minutes. This tool contains ammonia, so if you can not buy it in specialty stores or you want to save money, you can to remove the adhesive layer to use an ordinary household ammonia. However, the use of ammonia is necessary accurately, he gets into the airways, so this procedure is best done in a respirator. Once you have finished cleaning glasses of glue, take a dry and clean rag and wipe the surface of glass. Then, look carefully to no adhesive residue left on the glass. If necessary, remove the remaining glue with the blade. In order to bring the process to the end rastonirovki car windows, wipe the glass with a clean cloth and a special glass cleaner. At this stage rastonirovanie finished, good luck! At rastonirovku glass of the car it will take approximately 3-4 hours. Disassembly of the doors and windows to carry out the dismantling is not needed.

Each year, dozens of new cars that appear in the sale are subject to the attention of experts. How could it be otherwise? The authoritative American magazine "Forbes" has not remained on the sidelines and gave his version of the outsiders in 2011. Cars were tested for indicators such as cost, safety, reliability, efficiency and service costs of the car. The basis for the drafting of this ranking is led by six independent research publications for consumers Consumer Reports. Main place of this "honor" list are creations of American manufacturers - Chrysler and General Motors. In addition to American cars, the "honorable" list includes the Japanese SUV Nissan Titan, as well as Europeans Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2011) and Smart ForTwo. As for Europeans, here claims to reliability have been reported. These models have been listed as due to low profitability and the prohibitively high cost of care. Americans also have their own leaders. "The worst suggestion of General Motors» recognized as Chevrolet Aveo, a hugely popular on the Russian and Ukrainian markets. Far from it are gone and Colorado pickup and a hybrid Tahoe. A Cadillac Escalade was one of the first places in antireytinge due to the high cost and low security. A "leader" among all models Crysler recognized model of Chrysler Town & Country - a high price and at the same low level of reliability. Among the most unfortunate automotive innovations were also Dodge Nitro and Dodge Dakota, and Jeep Liberty. It should be noted that the model Dodge and Jeep are distinguished not only by the high price and unreliability, but also a large consumption of fuel. Interestingly, the American Ford in this list that seventy percent of American cars did not hit. Forewarned is forearmed. After listening to the advice of an authoritative edition of Forbes magazine, motorists probably should refrain from driving a certain car brands - both technical and financial indicator.

To understand the cause of squeaking brake pads and repair it does not necessarily apply to the car wash, but you can try to do it on their own. The most common cause of an unpleasant sound - a low-quality material of brake pads. But sometimes peculiar squeaking occurs due to incompatibility with pads rotors car. Some manufacturers to improve the performance of the products use components compatible with the materials of which made brake discs. Also, if there is creaking under the newly installed brake pads, it may mean that they are not of high quality and will last a maximum of two weeks, and braking performance they will be quite low. But even high-quality new brake pads can publish cutting nerves characteristic squeal. It causes a special layer, which is applied to the surface of the pad. But as a rule, the sound disappears within two or three days, and for those who do not want to wait that long there is a way to more quickly get rid of him. Need to accelerate the car to a speed of 100km / h, and then slow down dramatically, and so a few times. After several attempts to block warmed to a temperature at which all the unwanted impurities, usually burn out. If the pads and go on to squeak, it means that they are of poor quality and urgently needed replacement. With prolonged use of brake pads nasty squeak means that they have developed up to the wear indicator, and is required immediately to change them. If improperly installed, shoes squeaking is the result of the contact plate with brake disc because of poor attachment. In any case, squeal pads are not only unpleasant but also prevent the owner of the car on the need to make a thorough inspection of the entire system. The reason for this sound can be as small trash, got brakes and brake cylinders breakage and wear of the brake pistons. Know it can only fully disassembled and cleaned the system.

The necessary materials and tools are a piece of plywood 8 mm thick (preferably sanded); Epoxy adhesive 250-280gr, wet foam - large bottle, putty, fiberglass 0,8 mm thick and measuring about one square meter; Uglelenta 30x40; Bundle of screws; Skin balloon with a black matt paint, balloon-aerosol antigraviya; electric jigsaw, knife, screwdriver, electric drill. First we need to make the power frame: cut from a sheet of plywood four rings under the speaker and a rounded base. To accurately determine the size of the rings, use the speaker himself. The first two rings are cut slightly smaller than the reticula that they firmly belonged to them, and the second on Seed diameter of the head. Plastic door pocket should be cut and attach the plywood base with glue. Two rings stick together and knock small studs. Legs can be made from scrap materials, such as window glazing bead or particle board. Their length are formed by fitting speakers. At the base of the hole cut a similar aperture in the door paneling. The next step - combining the base and assorted rings. To do this, provide the necessary angle dynamics and the correct location. Bond framework is as follows: feet are glued to the ground and slaughtered young studs, and after the glue has dried skins the entire structure so that the rings tightly fit with no gaps, then glue the ring to the legs. To fill the frame instead of the foam is better to use "wet" foam. In the usual form, it turns loose, so you need to act: to squeeze out two or three lanes of foam on cardboard, pour them a little water and knead with a knife bubbles. As a result of these actions produced a liquid sealant that is applied to approximately two layers. Such consistency dries quickly and becomes like a dense foam. After solidification of the foam increases in volume. Her line the rind, displaying a smooth shape bends. Next, you need to put on the surface of epoxy glue, put uglelentu and cover with a thick fiberglass the entire structure. The fabric should lie smoothly without folds. After drying to cut too much, walk on the fells large lugs and smooth the surface sealer. You can then put another layer of fiberglass and uglelenty. Now to attach the design to the door paneling. Of a piece of hardboard cut the figure size as the base and with the same cut, glue it on the other side of the podium. By plating is applied podium schedule and cut out the hole corresponding to the doorway at the bottom. Then the plywood is made the ring, whose diameter is equal to the hole in the casing and fastened to the base. A complete design, which must be attached to the door hardware. That between the lining and the podium had no gaps, you need to mix a little epoxy glue and sawdust. Paste-like mixture is applied at the base of the stage and applied to the skin. Surplus is removed and fastens the podium with four screws. After the final drying of the podium must be secured with screws. Remained the final stage - painting. First, in several layers applied "antigravy, then matte black paint to layer 4. The transition from plastic to composite disappears, the podium became monotonous.
