Poate ca cele pentru .ro nu au avut injectie, dar in afara erau (asa cum de exemplu in afara exista Cielo cu airbag si ABS, iar la noi nu s-a fabricat niciodata cu asa ceva).

N-are nici o treaba servodirectia cu volanu', din punct de vedere tehnic. Volanu' e doar un covrig fixat pe un ax (ma rog, si cu niste fire pentru claxon). Aia te-au intrebat probabil pentru ca, schimband diametrul volanului, se schimba si "feelingul" cand conduci. Inchipuie-ti ca ai pune volan de camion pe un Matiz cu servodirectie: la o miscare de cateva grade, ar fi roata bracata deja la maxim.

Cu-adevarat a-nviat !

Stiti de ce-si pun mexicanii volane mici de tot la masini ? ca sa poata conduce cu catusele pe maini ! Acu' vorbind, o servodirectie nu-i mare branza de implementat pentru sistemul de directie uzual, cu pinion si cremaliera: un sistem sub presiune, cu o pompa, care impinge niste pistoane (ok, acum c-am descris, e mai complicat totusi). Deja o problema cred ca va fi sa bagi piesele unde le e locul (asta daca ai loc pentru ele).

Oamenii astia au inventat si instalat un semafor care trece pe rosu cand simte ca se-apropie o masina cu viteza prea mare http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file...MNG8N61MGG1.DTL Pleasanton is about to turn the fast into the furious. In a move unprecedented in the Bay Area, the city's traffic engineers have created a traffic signal with attitude. It senses when a speeder is approaching and metes out swift punishment. It doesn't write a ticket. It immediately turns from green to yellow to red. Residents and commute-jockeys said Tuesday that the light, which the city plans to unveil today on Vineyard Avenue at the intersection of Montevino Drive, is either an inspired leap into the future or a blatant example of government overzealousness. "It's kind of big-brotherish, but sometimes it's the price we pay for safety," said JoAnne Brewer, 49, who walked her golden retriever past the new signal Tuesday morning and predicted it would be a success. "I'm not much of a speeder myself," Brewer added. "It's my husband that it will catch." Drivers on the two-lane Vineyard, as they approach Montevino, will see an electronic sign that gives the speed limit -- 40 mph heading west and 35 mph going east -- then flashes their actual speed. A camera about 350 feet from the intersection measures speed and tells the light whether to do its business. Traffic engineers plan to give drivers a few miles per hour of wiggle room. But once speeding is detected, the red light will turn on for at least 10 seconds -- or 30 seconds-plus if cross traffic is waiting. It's all a little too much for Ken Pattee, a 52-year-old construction inspector from Livermore who sometimes rides his Harley-Davidson down Vineyard Avenue. He said he doesn't feel good about the electronic eye. "It's depriving you of another one of your liberties -- going fast," Pattee said. "If they implement it everywhere, there will be nothing but red lights. Nobody does the speed limit." Except Pattee, that is. "I do the speed limit," he said. "That's my story, and I'm sticking with it." The signal is a sign of the times. The Bay Area is increasingly consumed with its traffic woes, as seen in a recent fight over neighborhood traffic barriers that divided Palo Alto residents. Top political issue Pleasanton has become a capital of traffic hand-wringing, with a spot between Interstates 580 and 680 that invites cutting commuters. Traffic is easily the No. 1 political issue in the city, informing nearly every decision. The Police Department even allows citizens to borrow radar guns to document speeders near their homes and send out warning letters to offenders. The punitive nature of the signal on Vineyard appears to have the united support of neighbors and the Police Department, which hasn't seen an unusual number of accidents on the route but envisions a low-cost way to make people feel safe. The intersection sits near large stucco and brick homes with manicured landscaping. The route, connecting downtown Pleasanton to the Ruby Hill gated community and Highway 84 in Livermore, is not the country road it used to be, and it attracts a healthy stream of regional commuters. Many neighbors are so peeved with the popularity of the road that they didn't want a traffic signal at all at Montevino because it would allow traffic to flow better than the stop sign it replaced. At least the stop signs made speeding impossible and persuaded some commuters to steer clear, neighbors said. Pleasanton public works director Rob Wilson said the city has no plans to build more of the signals. But police Lt. Mark Senkle, who heads traffic enforcement, said, "If it works, I'd like to see it done in a few other areas in town. I don't anticipate problems, but the truth is, we just don't know. No one's done this." Thousand Oaks light At least one other place in California has put together a traffic signal that is deputized against speeders. The Ventura County city of Thousand Oaks installed one in 2000 that Pleasanton traffic chief Jeff Knowles, who used to work in Thousand Oaks, has been watching closely. "The people who were concerned about speed are pleased with it, but you'll hear a different story from some of the users of the road," said Thousand Oaks senior civil engineer Jim Mashiko. Thousand Oaks has discovered a few hiccups, Mashiko said. Pedestrians, for example, must be given the green on all four crosswalks in the intersection at the same time, so they are not confused by a sudden yellow and red aimed at a speeder. In addition, red rage could become an issue as drivers can be guilty by association if a speeder is just in front of them, just behind them or moving simultaneously in the opposite direction. Pleasanton plans to address at least one of those issues: the opposite- direction speeder. The Pleasanton signal will allow a red light to shine in just one direction, letting the light stay green for the nonspeeding driver in the opposite direction. In such cases, any cross traffic will continue receiving the red light. E-mail Demian Bulwa at dbulwa@sfchronicle.com.

Of, iar ati luat-o pe aratura . Revenind la subiect: pe mine m-a pus pe gand ultima parte a articolului. Cum e sa fii lovit zdravan de un inconstient baut la volan, accidentul fiind clar din vina alcoolului si a soferului; eventual iti mai iei si niste zile de spitalizare, si ala sa scape basma curata pentru ca scapa niste Franklini prin buzunarul cui trebuie, iar in cel mai rau caz te scoate tot pe tine vinovat ? Asta mi se pare strigator la cer.

Mai... nu v-ati lecuit de ocazii ? "There's no such thing as a free lunch", bine zicea cine zicea. RNCul este singurul registrar oficial din .ro; propun sa-l luam de la ei, chiar daca-i cu vreo 600.000 ROL mai scump (cam atat inseamna 20$ in plus), ca sa nu existe dupa aia surprize - ca nu putem sa schimbam inregistrari, ca de fapt domeniul apartine altcuiva, etc. Shenck, noi avem autocolante pe masinile de firma lipite si pe tabla, si pe sticla (pe interior, ce-i drept), si nu s-a dezlipit nici unul pana acum. Evident, cred ca depinde si de calitate - cine se zgarceste la un lucru bun, merita sa-i pice autocolantul si sa-i ramana si lipiciul pe vopsea asa ca pentru stickere eu zic c-ar fi cazul sa luam ceva de la o firma de incredere, chiar daca e nitel mai scump (pan' la urma, o singura data dam banii, n-ar fi mare branza, right?).

Inginereste gandind, un volan de diametru mai mic nu creste efortul necesar pentru a-l roti ? bratul fortei fiind mai mic, ai nevoie de un cuplu mai mare, deci efort muscular suplimentar.

Vreau si eu sa-mi explice cineva cu Espero exact cum functioneaza bricheta. Nu radeti. Stiu ca se impinge, se incalzeste si sare singura din locas, nu ? Merge si cu motorul oprit (asta ca sa stiu cum sa testez) ?

Vrabia malai viseaza si eu trag cu ochiul la vecini ... http://www.daciaclub.ro/viewtopic.php?t=21...ight=autocolant Se pare ca le-a iesit la vreo 50 de mii bucata. Super ieftin.

NFS, am pus si-un sondaj la discutie, ca sa vedem exact cati ce doresc.

Da... din alea ... ce sa-i faci, tineretea asta isi cere dreptu' :69: Stiu si bancul cu usa... good one.

Da ... mai ales ca se si lasa de bot la franare (am intrat in fundul altei masini). Asta este. De-aia mi-am facut CASCO, sa stau linistit.

N-a fost zdravana, a fost suficient cat sa sparga farurile . Capota n-a avut nimic, bara n-a avut nimic; doar masca si farurile - kaput.

Mda, in habitaclu e spatiu destul (pentru multe activitati ), dar pe la motor e inghesuiala mare totusi. Nu-ti urez sa te chinui sa prinzi cablurile si suruburile pentru un semnalizator de fata.

Stiu si Redstarul. E cel din poza atasata daca nu ma insel, nu ? Pe partea de putere audio, si eu sunt multumit; Sonyul scoate 4x45 de W, si depaseste boxele. Culmea, de calitatea difuzoarelor sunt destul de multumit; cu casete originale din magazin se aude foarte bine pentru mine (de-aia sunt curios cum se va auzi cu un CD player). Dar cum un bas mai pronuntat nu strica, de-aia vreau subwoofer. Statia am de gand s-o montez in picioare, pe spatele banchetei; tunul, mai ma gandesc, cum sa-i fac niste urechi de prindere sau niste barete.

Eu l-am luat in ianuarie, dupa o tamponare, cu 3.300.000 (cu reglare electrica; fara reglare, erau mai ieftine, vreo 2.500.000). Ma rog, rectific ... "le-am" luat

N-am rezolvat ... o sa ma bag maine cred cu multimetrul prin bord sa vad ce fire vin la bricheta. Sper sa scap doar cu desfacutul mastii aleia mici de plastic, de jos, si sa nu ma extind la tot bordul pentru o biata bricheta.

Se muta la "Calatorii". Eu, acasica - cu iesiri prin afara orasului, evident, ca n-o sa stau atatea zile inchis intre patru pereti.

Mai oameni buni ... dati-o-n pisici de treaba. Vedeti ce scrie sus acolo ? "Achizitionare Matiz cu toate accesoriile"! Vedeti ce scrie in ultimele mesaje ? porn si supozitoare ! Cica aveam moderatori pe forum... unde-or fiiii, unde-or fiiii ...

Biata baterie a dus 10 ani, ce sa-i mai ceri ?!? Cel mai bine cumpara o baterie noua. Daca o reincarci, vezi sa completezi si nivelul de apa distilata (daca poti), sa n-o pui la redresor uscata !

Da, s-a lamurit cum va fi. Se va construi "Dâmboviţa Mall" (suna ca naiba).

Stiu asta, dar tot mi se pare incomod de utilizat in timp ce conduc. Atasat e ce-am butonat eu - cu telecomanda cu tot; nasol e ca are volumul pe butoane si nu pe rotita.

Nu-i vorba de putut, ci vorba de comoditate. Am vazut la cineva MP3 player auto instalat si mi s-a parut cam incomod de cautat o melodie, de navigat prin melodii (pana la 20 de piste pe un CD audio, mai merge sa-ti aduci aminte care-i melodia favorita, dar pe vreo 3-400 de mp3uri, mai greu).

Ei, a facut-o cineva ? S-auzim pareri, marci, preturi, ghiduri de instalare: head unit, boxe fata, boxe spate, amplificatoare, subwoofere. Eu am in proiect: - schimbat casetofonul actual (Sony XR5890R) cu un CD player (daca sa fie cu MP3 sau nu, mai vedem) - instalat subwoofer "tun" in configuratie push-pull, cu difuri de 25 cm - fabricat artizanal combinat cu o statie Blaupunkt - in functie de rezultatul pasului 2, schimbarea difuzoarelor din masina
