History of the Volkswagen Golf GTI

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Shenron

In 1975, the first Volkswagen Golf Mk1 GTI was introduced at a motor show in Frankfurt, Germany. It later made its way to the United Kingdom two years later. Initially, interest in the vehicle did not take off in the UK as it featured a left hand drive, however eventually sales did catch on when its other merits were realised.

In 1984, a newer version of the Golf was introduced. The Mk2 Golf GTI offered a larger engine at 1781 cc and 113 bhp. Other notable differences were its increased size and slightly heavier weight. Overall this did little to change the power to weight ratio. However, later another engine was added with 138 bhp. This meant the Golf GTI could easily get to 130 mph in just 8 seconds. Many VW Golf fans found this version to be the best of all the Golf hatchbacks.

The 3rd version of the GTI, the Mk3, was revealed later in 1992. Whilst the engine was a little larger at 2.0 and 8v, it still had the same bhp of 113 as the Mk2 GTI Golfs. The aerodynamic design of the vehicle had improved. However, the weight of the car also increased. This version of the Golf was never managed to match the popularity in comparison to the Mk2 version.

Six years later in 1998, the Mk4 GTI was introduced. This was significant because this was the first time a diesel engine could be obtained in a Golf. This move was in an effort to compete with other cars made by rival car makers. Initially, the Golf didn’t capture much attention. It wasn’t until later when a special anniversary edition was released that boasted an engine capable of 180 bhp did people began noticing.

The Mk5 GTI was launched in 2004 at a motor show in Paris. It came with a 2.0 engine capable of 200 bhp. The gearbox featured six speeds. Once again, the VW Golf was a serious competitor in the market. However, production of the vehicle stopped entirely in 2008 due to increased costs of production. The Golf is still popular today as a used vehicle by many.

If you are looking for a vw golf for sale you can still buy most of these models second hand but it will be very hard to get the older ones in top condition.

Car Waxing – Guidelines to Follow

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Zaheer

Nothing beats the feeling and look of a car that is properly washed and waxed and you probably have experienced this every once in a while. Usual car waxing costs a lot of money and it is really something daunting and challenging you would want to do yourself but with time and proper guidelines you can carry it out within a short amount of time. Car waxing is like many other procedures that you could do at home with a little difference and step by step procedure but you would have to know the tips carefully and understand them fully. With a little hard work and consumption of time you can have the look of your car as good as new.

Before the procedure of car waxing actually starts off you should think about what sort of wax you are going to use for the process because that is going to have impacts later on for the appearance and overall look. You should select something that works out with any type of paint material and can withstand temperature changes easily.

Wash your car before waxing it and make sure you aren’t using the detergent or the usual dishwashing soap for this purpose. It is going to strip away everything from the paint of the car leaving it really oxidative and rusty for the damage and atmosphere conditions. Use a proper car washing agent to do so and wash the exterior thoroughly before applying the wax.

Use a soft towel or a sponge to apply the wax on the surface of the car. This will make the surface smooth and really shiny for the appearance. You should always apply the wax when the car surface is cool and not as hot; you can park your car in the shade for the cause. Apply the wax on a small part of the paint making sure nothing is getting ruined beneath. Avoid applying the wax on the corners of the mirrors and door rubbers because it will totally ruin it. If there is any place like that left out, clean it in the end. You should clean the dust and smaller particles that might be coming in your way as well.

While the process of car waxing is going on, you should notice that the minor defects of your car would be vanishing away and the outer surface would be clean and covered with a thin transparent coating.

Posted on September 11, 2011 by Zaheer

With the prices of gasoline soaring so high, one cannot say that electrical cars are the future cars of this generation. With the passage of time, petrol is depleting and people are looking for alternatives to drive their cars. However, the invention of electrical cars has solved the problem, which is yet to arrive.

An electrical car has mechanicals that are used by electricity. As electricity is a renewable energy, it can be used repeatedly. The gasoline-powered cars have internal combustion engines that burn the fossil fuels to give energy to the car so that it moves. However, this system emits harmful gases like carbon dioxide in the environment. Conversely, the electrical cars use batteries that need to be recharged from 150 to 250 miles. The batteries can be easily recharged at homes or at charging stations, where the batteries can recharge within one hour or less (in United States, there are various electrical car charging stations). The electrical cars are more efficient than petrol using cars as they give greater output using a small amount of energy. These cars are safe to drive, does not create noise pollution, easy to handle and does not give any harmful product to the environment.

Although the prices of electric cars are very high because of the expensive equipment and technology used in the making of the car but this one time investment will cut your costs in the long run. on the other hand, the inexpensive petrol cars make you spend so much money from time to time so that they can function properly. Many people have even converted their gas cars into electric cars because of the benefits it provides. It is not that difficult to build an electric but you need to the required knowledge before creating one.

With electric cars, you will experience fewer difficulties like waiting for the car to first warm up before you can drive it, you just need to switch on the car, put the key, turn the gear and drive. These modern cars require very less maintenance as compare to the gas cars that need tuning every month or so. You just need to recharge the electric batteries when they are down.

Electric cars keep the air you breathe clean and that is why, they are not only beneficial for you but they give a pollution free environment to the plants and animals as well.
