Foglamp | Foglights
Foglamp Foglights An auxiliary headlamp mounted low on the front of a car (often on the bumper) for use in fog. Casts a broad, flat beam on the left-hand kerb. Sometimes the fog lamps can in different colours. For example the old Nissan Silva (S13) used a yellow beam. Alternative coloured fog lamps can be [...] - Tags:Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)

Electronic brake distribution This is an additional feature of more sophisticated ABS braking systems, where an electronic control system measures such parameters as road speed to distribute braking force more effectively. In other words the system automatically varies the amount of force which is applied to individual brakes. It works this out by taking into account [...] - Tags:

Engine capacity Engine capacity refers to the volume swept by all the pistons of an engine, within their bores, from the top to the bottom of their travel. Measured in litres, cubic centimetres (cc) here in Australia. Engines with greater capacities are usually more powerful and provide greater torque at lower rpms but also consume more [...] - Tags:

Disc brakes Disc brakes – unlike drum brakes,use a calliper that grips the disc rotor to the wheel to gain friction. They tend to create more heat than drum brakes, but is designed to continue operating effectively in these conditions – and they are also exposed to outside air which helps with cooling. Within the [...] - Tags:

Drum brakes Drunk brakes are generaly found on the rear wheels of older (or cheaper) cars. They are inferior to disc brakes as heat cannot escape as effectively while heavy braking can also cause the drums to quickly ware out. In drum brakes friction is caused by a set of pads which press against the inner [...] - Tags:

A continuously variable (automatic) transmission uses drive belts in order to transmit torque and allows for various stepless ratios. In otherwords there are more gear ratios than your ordinary automatic transmission. One of the more interesting features of the system is that it often emulates the traditional feel of an abrupt gear change, paticularily at [...] - Tags:

Anti-lock braking System (ABS) Anti-lock braking system prevents your car’s brakes from “locking up” and skidding. When the brake pedal is hit with force, short sharp pulsations are felt as the car’s computer system applies and release braking effort. A typical ABS is composed of a central electronic unit (CEU), four speed sensors covering all wheels, [...] - Tags:

Aquaplaning | Hydroplaning A situation where a tyre loses its grip on a wet surface and “skates”, greatly reducing a driver’s control. Hydroplaning can occur when a combination of speed, tire wear, tire inflation or the depth of water on the pavement causes the tires to lose traction. The happens when a layer of water comes [...] - Tags:
