Choosing the right Spark Plug for Campro Engines

Image
Intoduction Gasoline engines obtain power by compressing a fuel-air mixture of air and gasoline, t exploding this mixture by ignition. Spark plugs serve to ignite this fuel-air mixture. With thhene battery as the power source, the spark plug converts the electrical energy that comes through the ignition coil and distributor into a spark which ignites the fuel air mixture. In other words, without the spark plug, the engine doesn't run; the spark plug is a important part because its performance influences the overall performance of the engine. Choosing the right one.. Various circumstances such as engine conditions and driving conditions are rough measures for choosing a plug. For example, if strenuous driving is continued for a long time using normal plugs, the plug will overheat. This is why the idea of a regular plug for a regular car doesn't work. What's important is to inspect the condition of your current plugs, and then choose a plug accordingly. The heat range will ch

R3 Tuned Suspensions for Proton Gen2

Image
This 2006 GEN 2 finally comes into life after the owner decided to trash the stock suspension and opt for Proton R3 version. The ride height have been lowered and the driving experience has been improved a lot. When people think of automobile performance, they normally think of horsepower, torque and zero-to-60 acceleration. But all of the power generated by a piston engine is useless if the driver can't control the car. That's why automobile engineers turned their attention to the suspension system almost as soon as they had mastered the four-stroke internal combustion engine. The job of a car suspension is to maximize the friction between the tires and the road surface, to provide steering stability with good handling and to ensure the comfort of the passengers. If a road were perfectly flat, with no irregularities, suspensions wouldn't be necessary. But roads are far from flat. Even freshly paved highways have subtle imperfections that can interact with the wheels of a c
