Ide modifikasi

Dengan ide kreatif dan liarnya, Vero mencoba membuat sebuah mobil yang berbentuk mirip dengan laba-laba, sehingga mobil ini diberi nama Tarantula. Diakui Vero kalau Tarantula merupakan turunan dari Jollyjumper, mobil yang juga hasil garapannya. Tapi kali ini sang empunya mobil ingin menunjukkan skill untuk menghasilkan mobil ratrod dengan finishing yang rapih dan mulus hingga ke detail. Selain itu, lewat mobil ini dirinya juga ingin membuat mobil terceper yang pernah ada namun juga bisa nyaman ketika dikendarai.

Untuk mewujudkan hal itu, sektor kaki-kaki mendapatkan perhatian yang lebih. Sedangkan bagian atap di choptop sebanyak 8 inci. Dibagian suspensinya, pria berbadan besar ini mencangkok sistem suspensi memakai air suspension . “Supaya saat kondisi parkir, mobil yang di beri julukan Tarantula ini lebih ceper lagi dari Jolly jumper, tapi saat jalan juga bisa naik hingga 18cm (sangat lebih dari cukup, karenalebih tinggi dari Honda Jazz bagian bawahnya) bila saya butuhkan” ujarnya. Kaki-kaki pada Tarantula mencangkok sistem as roda Independent, yang dapat bergerak masing-masing. Dengan ini kestabilan mobil ketika melibas tikungan menjadi semakin mantap.

Detil, rapi & unik

Proses pengerjaan 'si Tarantula' ini bisa dibilang cukup lama. Kurang lebih memakan waktu hingga 20 bulan, ini terjadi karena sang empunya mobil ingin membuat sebuah mobil hotrod (ratrod) yang punya finishing rapih, cantik dilihat, terasa nyaman saat dikendarai, handling-nya stabil, super rendah dan unik. Banyak yang bingung kenapa kali ini ketika membangun Tarantula bisa rapih dan catnya mulus? “Dulu sewaktu bikin Jollyjumper dibalur dengan warna doff dan terkesan sangar bukan karena tidak bisa bikin yang rapih, tapi karena saya tahu maunya apa” ungkapnya.

Kesulitan saat membangun mobil hampir tidak ada karena sudah ada pengalaman dalam membangun mobil-mobil hotrod, tapi ketika mobil sudah jadi barulah timbul kesulitan, hal ini karena suspensi memakai air suspension yang jumlahnya 3 balon, titik kesulitannya yaitu ketika memposisikan mobil untuk parkir ada kesulitan tersendiri dan juga untuk memposisikan dudukan mobil ketika di naikkan. “Sekarang kalo bawa mobil ini, semuanya harus diukur dua kali yaitu ketika parkir dan ketika di naikkan, soalnya 2 kali lebih sulit!”tambahnya.

Untuk urusan performa, Tarantula yang bermesin 5700 cc ini dirasa tidak ada masalah walaupun menggunakan transmisi automatic. Yang pasti, pengendaliannya lebih responsive dan lebih stabil dibandingkan dengan Jollyjumper. “Tapi karena bodynya mulus dll, jadinya agak ngilu untuk di tekak-tekuk karena sayang, walaupun sebenarnya bisa” pungkasnya.

Alien Style Citroen C2

The flow of wind

Since the appearance of the first car its design has been significantly changed. Modern cars are very fast, comfortable, and aerodynamic, yet it's not the limit of the development in this domain. Thus Japanese designers have recently managed to create quite a futuristic car that looks very unusual.

This latest design direction of Mazda Company was called "Taiki". The appearance of such an original design was inspired by the shape and flow of wind. Their challenge was to create "a design that visually expresses the flow of air and the atmosphere" - called "taiki" in Japanese. The shape of the car's back, especially of the back wheels, has no right lines, but curves. It's so unusual that it's hardly possible to imagine that there was something of this kind before. Due to its shape given concept seems to be extremely aerodynamic, yet no other information about its characteristic features is available.

Anyway this gadget can be considered as a very forward thinking one. I would say that it's a breath of fresh air in a slightly stale auto show season. However it's not the fact that there will be a significant number of proponents of such a bold design.

RCA Concept Cars

RCA Concept Cars

Royal College of Arts has truly crafted some royally spectacular designs of concept cars that do not yet soar in to the skies but look almost good enough to go around as alien creations that are crafted for inter-planetary journey travelling at the speed of light. Being constantly in touch with almost every single concept car design on a daily basis and having seen more than a few personally it is pretty hard to get surprised anymore consistently. But once in a while amazing designs like this come along which take the standards several notches higher by not just producing ‘Spielberg’ styled stuff, but also making them energy-efficient and emission free!

These concept cars build upon the RCA’s world-renowned vehicle design program, which has produced many exceptional designers over its 40 years of existence. Now that nearly every major auto manufacturer has announced plans for an energy-efficient automobile, these breathtaking designs should set a whole new standard in eco-design as we venture in to a future that holds a millions surprises which we hope are filled with green goodness.

Pierre Sabas’ Airflow concept encases an electric engine and suspension within an exterior constructed entirely of glass, while Jon Radbrink’s Nuaero car integrates sophisticated aerodynamic principles such as airfoils, a venturi tunnel, and a catamaran-esque underbody to maximize its efficiency. Sergio Loureiro Da Silva’s rocket-red Phoenix car pairs beautiful aerodynamic curves with a system that regenerates lost energy through movement, and Arturo Peralta Nogueras’ futuristic vehicle runs on algae and features an evolving solid hologram technology to adapt to its environment, passengers, and scenarios.

You just have to sit back and take a moment to allow this amazing work to actually sink in as it would still look unreal. All I can say is that, “Thank God we had photography or all the words in the world could not have conveyed the sense of spectacle that I have just witnessed.”

The Airflow by Pierre Sabas of France has wheel-mounted electric motors and is made entirely of glass. "I’ve tried to wrap it around like fabric. It allows for a new driving sensation and it gives the occupants a new perception of the outside world," he says. The car won the Best Design Interpretation Award at the Pilkington Automotive Vehicle Design Awards.

Yun Woo Jeong's "Transform" might be the offspring of an unholy marriage between Optimus Prime and a Morgan. It has a transparent elastic top that can be stretched to any shape to suit the driver's needs and mood. "I've been interested in 'transformables' since I was a boy," says Jeong. "It is common to boys across the world. How many transformable robots have passed over our memories? Why do they generate so much enthusiasm? Some say it's childish. But I assume it is human instinct."

Raquel Aparicio Lopez's "Soft Vehicle" is made of foam. You stash your stuff in a boot, er, trunk that opens with a zipper and you climb in through "a sensual slit" and sit in a seat surrounded by impact absorbing "jelly balls." The Spanish designer believes softer cars are safer cars. "I would like to extrapolate rubber, textile and other soft materials into vehicle design," she says.

Sergio Loureiro Da Silva designed "Phoenix" for maximum efficiency. There's a turbine up front, a kinetic axis -- whatever that is -- and electric motors at the back. The Spanish designer likens the vehicle to a motorcycle with a sidecar, but it looks to us like something you'd see in a pod race on Tattooine.

Paul Howse wanted to offer a new definition of luxury and exclusivity with "Enigma." It's an electric vehicle that ideally would get its power from the sun, and the passenger compartment uses magnetic levitation to isolate it from the rest of the car.

Joonas Vartola's "Iomega" isn't so much a car as a "relaxation capsule" with a chauffeur. Vartola says the shape of a swan inspired the exterior. Driver and passengers sit in separate compartments, which "fosters the idea of this being a passenger car rather than the usual driver's car architecture," the Finnish designer says.

"I'm thinking about a new way of consuming cars," says Italian designer Ilaria Sacco, by allowing a high level of personalization. She calls the car "My Lounge," and it takes an Ikea approach to design by allowing buyers to pick everything that goes into it, "like how you would design your living room." (Hex wrench not included.)

Dong Kyu Kim of South Korea was influenced by fashion design, and "Chameleon" takes its styling cues from shirt collars, blowing scarves and women's eyeliner. The car is asymmetrical because, "like a good dress, it will never be perfect," and paramagnetic technology allows it to change colors so it'll always match your outfit.

None of the technology Spanish designer Arturo Peralta Nogueras has planned for his vehicle exists yet, but if you're gonna dream, dream big. "Senses" runs on algae and features an exterior made of "solid hologram technology," whatever that is. It's also got artificial intelligence, and the interior "evolves and adapts to its environment, passengers and scenarios," though we're not sure how. No matter. It sure looks cool.

Jon Radbrink of Sweden also has a thing for glass. He used a whole lot of it on "Lexus Nuaero," his gas-electric hybrid. "I was inspired by architecture and used glass in conjunction with other materials to create a layered effect that gives the feeling of transparency for the occupants," he says. The Pilkington judges liked it enough to give it the Best Use of Glazing -- that means glass -- award.

Called the Lexus Nuaero, it features motors in the wheels and a touch-screen dashboard where the information and controls can be moved around.

Hydrogen-powered Circulus

If you are sick and tired of being in those heavy traffic situations and you tend to use ecologically friendly products, this marvelous concept car will be your favorite model. This interesting car concept turns out to be powered by hydrogen. Called, Circulus this smart car is capable of turning 360 degrees which makes it highly maneuverable.

This ecologically conscious car concept feature one of the kind design as well as powerful capabilities including omni directional wheels or shape shifting rear. If your technological appetite is not yet satisfied, this breathtaking three wheeled car features one spherical front tire which makes it so maneuverable turning 360 degrees effortlessly.

This concept idea might be quite useful in those congested roads, so every experience driver would appreciate it. Two tires at the rear are designed to gain more stability on roads as well as ideal braking abilities. Its spherical tire is fuelled by an independent motor which seems to be operating on hydrogen.

Its motor is mounted at the rear part of the car. Its side body panels are constructed from recycled plastic along with polyurethane also used for seats construction. As for the rest of the parts, they are supposed to be made of aluminum making sure the car is light weight.

New GM Concept Car

"We're on a journey," admitted Wayne Cherry, General Motor's vice president of design, when questioned at the automaker's top-secret design studios near Detroit. "This is a mission...We're redesigning technology..."

The impressive design feat, which is said to create a superbly smooth ride by levitating the body away from the chassis, may well be based on top-secret work in the government's closely guarded Area 51 -- where many think a crashed alien UFO has been reverse engineered to discover the principles of extraterrestrial science.

Quoted in an article in the highly respected Edmonds, "You can think of the first 100 years of automotive technology as volume one," said Larry Burns, GM vice president of research, development and planning. "And Autonomy as volume two."

Edmonds also noted that "the surface... has a pale-colored, smooth, shiny hard plastic exterior much like Apple Computer's latest laptop, the iBook," raising speculation that the computer maker and GM may well be in a collusive arrangement to develop and use alien spacecraft technology for tough, aerodynamic exteriors.

Rumors of similar developments by Ford Motor Company have so far remained unconfirmed; but with intense competition among the largest auto makers to include alien technology in new designs, there can be no doubt that they are not far behind.

The new Mustang

The New Mustang

I found a really exciting prototype show car while traipsing around SEMA in Las Vegas today. Seems that Galpin Auto Sports of Van Nuys took a Ford Mustang GT convertible and went COMPLETELY NUTS on it. Sure, it started out as a 2008 Mustang GT, but it is completely unrecognizable now! Hand made composite body, voice command controled, even DUAL retractible steering wheels (left and right side drive, thanks to drive-by-wire technology)!!!

In the deep, 3 layer, candy purple paint, it looks like something the Joker might drive… if he could handle the 1000 horsepower twin supercharged power!

Of course, it sits so low to ground here, at a height that it would be impractical on most any road or track, but thanks to air ride technologies’ suspension system, the computer constantly gauges the road for the optimum ride height and firmness of the ride itself. and still, it “cuts” quite a shape… and those headlights!

Here’s a nice big picture for ya:

UNfortunately, when you come around the side of the car, you see get the impression that the car’s designer was heavily influenced by his childhood playthings… Mattel Hot Wheels®.

Still, Galpin Auto Sports was aiming for a vehicle straight from the car shows of the 60’s (Autorama) that sparked people’s imagination and excitement. Given that this vehicle is COMPLETELY road worthy and driveable and not just some clay work with paint and chrome stuck on it… I’d say they goal has been FAR exceeded!

Nissan Cefiro

Nissan Cefiro 1995

Sensasional Dari Venom.. Venom rupanya terus berinovasi menghadirkan mobil dengan modifikasi ekstrim untuk dijadikan mobil demo-nya. Kali ini mobil yang berhasil dieksekusi adalah Nissan Cefiro lansiran 1995 yang diubah bentuk menjadi Lamborghini Reventon.

Aplikasi Motorized dan Air Suspension

Dengan menunjuk rumah modifikasi Rosella yang bermukim di kawasan Pluit, bentuk bodi total dibentuk ulang menggunakan bahan plat 1,8 mm yang berkiblat pada desain body mobil Lamborghini Reventon. Alhasil mobil sedan yang tadinya memiliki 4 pintu ini berhasil di ubah menjadi sedan sport 2 pintu.

Mengambil konsep modifikasi mobil sport futuristik, pintu mobil dibuat model gullwing dengan menggunakan sistem buka tutup custom motorized, begitu juga dengan kap bagasi bagian buritan. Akan tetapi tidak cukup sampai hanya pada aplikasi motorized, sistem suspensi dari Cefiro berkelir ungu ini juga mengaplikasikan custom air suspension 4 titik. Memperkuat image mobil sport, pelek mobil ini menggunakan pelek racing berukuran 19 inci lansiran PIAA dengan dibalut ban berprofil tipis.

Kaca Akrilik Custom

Akibat perubahan bodi yang ada, seluruh kaca mobil pun mengaplikasikan bahan akrilik yang kemudian dilapisi kaca film gelap. Untuk kaca depan menggunakan akrilik bening dengan ketebalan 8 mm, sedangkan kaca samping untuk kaca samping kanan dan kiri menggunakan akrilik dengan ketebalan 6 mm.

Venomania Instalation

Dikodratkan sebagai mobil demo Venom, sistem car audio langsung dijejali instalasi custom racikan Halim yang biasa disapa ko Ahau, instalatur dari workshop Some Sound. Seluruhnya audio sistem menggunakan produk Venom yang dibuat dengan apik dan sesuai dengan konsep modifikasi futuristik yang diusung. Head Unit langsung mengandalkan Clarion VXZ 766DVD.

Speaker depan mengandalkan 2 set speaker split Venom VI6 dengan placement midbass diposisikan pada doortrim dan tweeter pada dasbor serta pilar. Placement yang sedikit 'nyleneh' terlihat pada tengah dasbor terpasang 1 unit Subwoofer Venom VX3110W dengan posisi reverse. Bukan cuma itu, pada jok yang dibuat custom juga dipasangkan speaker coaxial yang juga lansiran Venom, begitu juga dibelakang jok dipasangkan 6 unit subwoofer Venom VX2003W yang semuanya telah di-drive 4 unit monoblock Venom VI.2000.1D.

Meski sebagai mobil demo car audio, instalasi dari sistem audionya terbilang tidak berlebihan. Kabin mobil dengan ruang yang terbatas pun masih dapat disinggahi dengan cukup nyaman. Pada body mobil terlihat tidak ada speaker yang terpasang, yang ada hanya 2 unit subwoofer 8 inci yang teraplikasikan di bumper depan yang juga di-drive monoblock Venom VI.2000.1D, selain itu 4 unit monitor 7” juga terpasang pada bumper belakang dengan ditutupi akrilik, sehingga tetap membuat mobil ini tampil original layaknya Lamborghini Reventon versi aslinya.

“Untuk modifikasi sektor dapur pacunya, mobil ini sedang dalam proses pengerjaaan dibengkel dan rencananya akan mengaplikasikan mesin kepunyaan Nissan Silvia RB20, aku sang instalatur.”

Car Alien

Car Alien

Benda apakah yang ada pada gambar di bawah ini? Properti film fiksi ilmiahkah? Bukan, ini hanyalah sebuah mobil biasa. Tapi lebih terlihat seperti mobil masa depan atau mobil alien (kalaupun ada).

Mobil ini dibuat oleh Mike Vetter dari Florida. Pemilik sebuah perusahaan modifikasi mobil bernama The Car Factory ini, mempreteli mobil Chevy Aveo, mengganti eksteriornya, dan memasang pintu Gull-wing sebagai pelengkap. Mobil ini juga dijual oleh Vetter di situs ebay. Tertarik?

Seandainya mobil ini dapat terbang sungguhan, mungkin akan jauh lebih menarik. Tetapi desain yang ditawarkan juga cukup menggoda. Saya yakin bangsa Indonesia juga mampu membuat inovasi seperti ini, bahkan yang jauh lebih baik dari ini.

Modification Honda win

Modification Honda win

Tulisan ini terinspirasi dari komentar Bro Masboy dalam artikel Light supermoto ala Honda win. Masboy memberikan clue salah satu referensi modifikasi Honda win yang mungkin berkenan adalah Honda Solo. Honda Solo bukan lah sebuah nama deler di solo, melainkan sebuah varian Motor Laki semi otomatis honda berkapasitas mesin 50 cc. Motor yang sudah di diskontinu produksi oleh Honda jepan ini dibuat bukan bertujuan untuk gaya-gayaan walaupun style nya yang retro menunjang untuk diajak mejeng. kenapa? Mesinnya yang cuma 50 cc cuma snggup menghasilkan daya 3,5 ps saja di RPM 7500

Torsinya gimana? cukuplah 0,39 kg-m/6000rpm motor ekonomis ini menurut beberapa testimoni sanggup digeber sampai 90-an Km/jam. Motor imut ini hanya dibekali 3 tingkatan percepatan semi otomatis dan Rotari mirip motor-motor bebek. Motor ini di bangun tanpa menggunakan cover body pelastik, semua rangka terlihat membuat motor ini tambah eksotik, minimal menurutsaya. IMHO Sok depan teleskopik, ukurannya mirip dengan sok standar Honda Win, Sok belakangnya yang hampir terlentang mirip desain Sok kawasaki ER6 he he he he, Single seater membuatnya sebagai motor yang angkuh ( nggak mau boncengin orang ). Mesin 4Tak celentang 49 cc lahyang memperkuat alasan mengapa motor ini menjadi referensi modif buat Honda Win, Honda S90 dan motor-motor lainnya yang masih menganut blok silinder ‘celentang’. Semoga Berguna
