2009 Ferrari California Novitec Rosso

CHANNEL: www.youtube.com TWITTER: www.twitter.com FACEBOOK: www.Facebook.com Novitec Rosso refines the new Ferrari California: sportier styling, a custom-tailored tire and wheel combination in 21- and 22-inch diameters, suspension modifications, more power, and exclusive interior options. Tasteful refinements with aerodynamic benefits characterize the Novitec Rosso design program for the sports car from Maranello. All aerodynamic-enhancement components are made from especially lightweight yet high-strength clear-coated carbon fiber. The Novitec Rosso front spoiler attaches to the production bumper and lends the sports car an even more striking face. Its sophisticated shape further reduces lift on the front axle for even better directional stability at high speeds. The sides are upgraded with striking Novitec Rosso rocker panel moldings for an even more clearly defined racing look. Black side markers add further individual highlights. To reduce lift on the rear axle and thus achieve an optimal aerodynamic balance Novitec Rosso equips the California with a newly designed diffuser for the rear apron and a spoiler lip on the trunk lid. Three-piece Novitec Rosso NF3 wheels also play a major role in the even more stunning appearance of the refined Ferrari. By choosing a staggered combination of size 21-inch wheels in front and size 22-icnh wheels on the rear axle, Novitec Rosso further emphasizes the wedge shape of the car.

Car Ramps - Worth Every Penny When Working on Your Car

More and more car owners are choosing to work on their cars instead of taking them in for repairs given the rather dire economic turn of events. If you are or intend to join the group, allow me to give you a tip - buying ramps is well worth the money spent.

The average automobile has come a long way in the last 20 years. You used to be able to pop the hood on a car and find enough space for you to practically stand in the engine area. In the 50s and 60s, people used to actually sit in the engine compartment to work on their cars. Those days are long gone. Pop the hood now and it can be shocking. Every inch of the engine compartment is crammed to the hilt with components.

The lack of space makes it difficult to work on your car. Designers apparently assumed anyone working on the car would have arms that were really thin and had 20 joints in them! Obviously, that's not the case. The real truth is most cars are supposed to be worked on from the bottom up. This is why mechanics have those lifts. You probably can't afford them, but car ramps are an inexpensive alternative that will make your life a lot easier.

Car ramps are exactly what they sound like. There are two of them. They are designed like right triangles with a fairly gentle slope. You figure out where you want to work on your car. It should be a flat surface! You then drive the car half way into the area. Line up the ramps in front of each tire and then slowly drive the car up on the ramps. Park it, put the parking brake on, place something behind the rear tires to brace them and you are ready to go.

Why are car ramps so great? Most cars sit fairly low to the ground. You can slide in under them, but actually working on the car can be a pain because your forearm tends to be longer than the vertical space between the ground and the engine components. To actually do anything, you have to sort of slide off to the side and angle your arm towards the component. The advantage is you can work on the component. The disadvantage is you can't see what you are doing. While you think you are loosing the oil plug, you actually are removing the fuel filter and that just ain't good news!

Your car ramps solve these problems. Most ramps will lift the car a couple feet of the ground. That doesn't sound like much, but it makes a world of difference. You can actually see and work on components without trying to bend yourself like a gymnast at the Olympics. At the same time, the engine components are not too far away from your hands.

Money spent on car ramps is money well spent if your weekend includes getting under the car. Make sure to give them a look.

Custom Headers - Things of Beauty

Who hasn't felt their pulse quicken when a throaty hotrod idled beside them at a stop? The lope of the engine, the sheer custom sound of the car, is an amazing thing. That sound is created by having a finely tuned powerhouse under the hood; however, without a set of headers, that sound (and the power it implies) would be severely handicapped. What are headers, you ask? They are one of the easiest ways to add horsepower to your existing ride, as well as a great way to improve the sound of your engine.

Headers take the place of your stock exhaust manifold and run from the engine's head to the downpipe on your car. What do they do? Headers reduce the amount of back pressure in the engine, allowing the exhaust pulses to travel more freely to the exhaust pipe and out of the car. Why is this important? With stock exhaust manifolds, the amount of pressure buildup in the engine can significantly decrease power output. This is because the engine must work to move the exhaust; that takes precious power away from your wheels. The harder your engine must work to move the exhaust along, the less power it has left over to send to the transmission.

Headers can alleviate much of that problem, adding a significant amount of horsepower to your ride without doing anything more than opening up the exhaust system. With a standard exhaust manifold, the exhaust pulses from each cylinder are forced into the same chamber, building up pressure as each pulse attempts to escape through the down pipe. Headers provide a tube for each cylinder, allowing gasses to move much more freely.

When choosing a header, the best bet is to choose a kit from an established manufacturer, a kit made for your vehicle. While you can make your own headers, it's cheaper and easier just to buy a kit. Buying one that matches your year, make, model and engine size means that you will get the right number of headers (4 cylinders have 1, V6 and V8 engines have 2), as well as the right manifold gaskets and connectors. Never reuse your old manifold gaskets unless you absolutely have to. Also, make sure that your kit comes with mounting locations for your O2 sensor(s).

If you have access to a decent set of mechanic's tools, you can actually add headers on your own. While having access to a shop is a handy thing, you don't have to use one; a set of ramps can be just as handy, as long as you don't mind laying on the ground for a bit. You'll need to remove your old exhaust manifold, first. Loosen the bolts attaching the manifold to your down pipe and then remove the bolts holding the manifold to the head. Remove the old gasket under the header and clean the area. Now, place the new gasket on, followed by the header. Tighten the bolts in an alternating pattern, without tightening any of them fully until all bolts are snug. Reattach the down pipe to the new header and you're set!
