2011 Subaru WRX & WRX STI Pictures
The 2011 Subaru WRX and WRX STI is one of the best of Subaru cars in the market. Either the sedan or hatchback type, performance has never been different. Being popular for years in the World Rally Championship, the Subaru WRX can absolutely compete for the top prize.
For 2011, the WRX has ditched the black robe for a string bikini, flaunting some serious haunches in the process. Meanwhile, the car's big brother – the WRX STI – has been fitted with a completely reworked suspension and an all-new four-door body style.

2011 Subaru WRX and WRX STI Specs:
As anyone who managed to survive the rash of Pontiac "wider is better" ads of the mid ‘90s can tell you, throwing more than an inch into a car's girth can have a big impact on how the vehicle performs. "We managed to increase the track of the WRX by nearly 1.5 inches," says Martyn Harding, Impreza car line manager for Subaru North America. "That's huge." In reality, Subaru has spread the WRX by 1.3 inches compared to the 2010 model—a big number by anyone's count—thanks solely to the car's wild new bodywork. While the hatchback now wears the same cladding as last year's WRX STI, the look is most noticeable in four door trim, where the body is dominated by front fenders that are flared to body builder proportions and rear quarter panels that are built to match. There's even more than a hint of BMW M3 in the rear diffuser. Throw in a set of wheels that are wider by a full inch and suddenly the car is capable of laying down grip well past the engine's capability.
Like last year, the WRX gets its power from a turbocharged 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel drive system, the combination returns 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Likewise, the WRX STI retains its old engine, though it produces a more muscular 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The engine is bolted to a six-speed manual gearbox and an adjustable all-wheel drive system, all of which is good for 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.
But the big news on the WRX STI front is what's under the car. Subaru has built in sway bars that are about 30 percent more rigid, stiffer springs (16 percent in the front and 55 percent in the rear), stiffer bushings and a lower ride height for 2011. The company has even moved to steel-ball type bushings where the front control arm meets the body for added rigidity, though it's surrounded by a rubber bushing to keep noise and vibration down.
Price of the WRX will cost you at around $25,495 for the four-door and five-door trims. While the WRX STI sedan is priced at $33,995 and the five-door will cost at $35,995.

car subwoofer
car subwoofer buying guide
There are various types and sizes of car subwoofers on the market today. While the quality standard OEM sound equipment has risen over the years, you still need to sort a subwoofer in the system for rich bass sound that most of us like to listen to our stereo system produces.
Find your subwoofer ranging in size from 6 inches to 18 inches in diameter to tens of automotive electronics company. Many times a shopper will buy a particular brand in the largest size available for thinking that the “greater” should be “better”. Then after getting home, they realize that they do not have the space to devote to housing is needed, not to mention they do not meet the budget for the power amp power they need for their livestock.
Planning is very important in improving your car audio system with subwoofer. But it can be very rewarding and enjoyable if you have a few simple tips. If you are limited on space and only want the bass better than a full standard speakers are able, you may be one of the submarine closed strengthened. It is easy to install and you find them available from companies such as Boss, Infinity and Bazooka. They are small six-to eight-inch subwoofer mounted in a small tube and the casing, they have the basic amplifier is integrated into the device. Given that the sub, enclosure and amplifier contained in a small package to offer, they should be your most expensive option, while the smallest footprint in relation to space.
But if you rap music, popular music or whatever music you want deep bass that shakes the windows and enjoy, you might want to go with separate components. Last year, buyers have to go with a good sub is made for SPL (loudness) or SQ (sound quality music) and is usually associated with size, but now there are some famous subwoofer is available for both.

Last year, buyers have to go with a good sub is made for SPL (loudness) or SQ (sound quality music) and is usually associated with size, but now there are some famous subwoofer is available for both.
So the first place to start when shopping for a subwoofer setup is to determine how much space you want to use for a subwoofer and amplifier. You can do this by starting with smaller submarines as 8 inches. Read the details of them and see what your body and sub-types of the required size is selected. There are two basic types of sealed and vented enclosure. A small sealed sub box will not be less than a vented box in most circumstances. So if you begin to see the sealed attachment to get a good picture of the minimum amount of space. In most cases, the larger the subwoofer, the air is moved so that more bass is produced.
The second step you will with the requirements of power subwoofer of your choice to view. Only in accordance with the proposed power and compare it with the amp. See amplifier size and realize a little more room for air circulation and cable, and this will allow the entire space for your subwoofer settings to estimate.
As you can imagine, even a twelve-inch subwoofer and amplifier system to eat a good amount of space in a vehicle trunk or hatch modern. You will find a variety of subwoofers from brands such as Alpine, Boss, JL Audio, Kicker, Lanzar, MTX, Pioneer and Rockford Fosgate to name a few. Many offer a slim mount subwoofers, as well as standard or shallow mount subs. Shallow submarine to enter into a smaller box to be mounted behind or under the seat in some applications.
So do not be intimidated by the decision. There are other options to consider, such as single or dual voice coil subwoofer and benefits of each. In general, a voice coil subwoofer dual model will allow more flexibility and choice of cable is very important when running two or more subs.
From my experience over the years, a 10-inch subwoofer is the most popular and gives you a variety of factory-made subwoofer boxes to choose from. In addition to sub-standard large enclosure box is designed especially suitable for certain cars and trucks. If you ever have an application custom-fit you’ll find you can save space because they are made to go into areas of wasted space found in the vehicle.

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Sedan
When Subaru went hatch-only on the previous-generation STI, the company explained that the body style handled better, which had something to do with center of gravity, weight distribution, polar moments of inertia, and other such things. Perfectly rational explanations, and completely lost on the fans. You wanted a sedan with a wing big enough to pick up premium movie channels in Tokyo, and you got it. And it performs even better than the last STI hatch we tested.
Not that it’s a completely fair comparison. Subaru didn’t just build a sedan version of the STI for 2011 and call it a day. As long as it was building a new model, Subaru let its engineers loose on the suspension to see if they couldn’t make up for that non-ideal body. We saw the first hints of that improvement in the 2010 Subaru WRX STI Special Edition we tested back in May, with its stiffer suspension lifted from the JDM-only Spec C model. Subaru hung onto those parts for the 2011 car, and even gave them another going-over.
A lower ride height, even stiffer stabilizer bars on top of the already-stiffened springs, and new Heim joints on the front suspension conspire to turn out the best figure-eight performance of any factory-spec STI we’ve ever tested, the Special Edition included. Though the new sedan gave up a small amount of lateral grip (0.93 g average on the skid pad versus an all-time best of 0.95 g average for the 2008 model), it made big strides where it counted, on the figure eight. By testing transitions as well as pure lateral grip, the figure eight gives us a better impression of real-world handling, which the new STI has in spades. Completing the circuit in just 25.5 seconds at 0.73 g average, it’s quicker and stickier than both the last-generation STI and the STI Special Edition, which clocked in at 25.7 seconds at 0.71 g average. A quick look at our test data dating back to the original STI reveals that the only way you’re going to do better is with aftermarket parts.
Car Repair Tips For Women
With a few simple car repair tips for women, going to the mechanic does not need to be intimidating or stressful. If you know a few things about maintaining and fixing your vehicle, you might even be able to do some of the repairs yourself. Many things that go wrong with a car are minor if you have maintained it properly. Some repairs, however, will need to be done by professionals. With these simple car repair tips for women, you can decide for yourself if you want to try to fix something at home or if it would be better to take it to a local mechanic. These tips will help ensure that you are following safety precautions and that you are not spending unnecessary money on a mechanic for something simple that you can do yourself.
Avoid Major RepairsEven experienced mechanics who have been working on cars for years will often take their car to a garage if it needs major repair. If something goes wrong or they run into something that they do not know how to fix, it could cause a problem because they have no way of taking the car to the shop once the car has been taken apart. Engine problems could be major, but they could be made worse if you do not know how to properly fix the problem. Only make repairs that you have the ability and knowledge to handle.

New Car Collections | E WOLF E-2
The E-1 with the car manufacturer e-Wolf GmbH is a first: an ultra lightweight carbon / aluminum construction of the chassis with innovative flat cell technology, formula racing technology and the approval for use in traffic. Thanks to its innovation and technology, the E-1 performance values, which is impossible in its class so far: 0-100 kmh in under 5 seconds. For safety reasons, the top speed to 250 km / h is limited e-WOLF is also characterized in the market by its consistent use of lightweight components for its 100% electric drive system. All technologies, components and assemblies it uses are “Made in Germany”.
A Li-Tec Battery is CERIO flat cells, the major component. It has a higher temperature tolerance, and improved safety compared to other technologies. This innovation has been nominated for the German Future Prize 2007, an honor. Its special low-volume composite anodes can much more energy than most other products now provide on the market. Each flat cell (the battery has a total of 84) weighs only 1 kg and measures 23 x 18 cm. That is, it is only slightly larger than an exercise book. Another important aspect of the Li-Tec Battery is CERIO flat cells, the cycle stability and unmatched durability (10 years) and range (300 km). This makes Li-Tec, the spearhead of the current flat-cell development.
To demonstrate the technology, an open-wheeled version of the e-WOLF-electric sports car at the IAA 2009 will be issued. E-WOLF has scheduled its launch (customized limited edition) for the beginning of 2010. “Offer our goal, a 2-seater extreme sports car in 2011, the E-WOLF E-2″, Kai Schoenberg, marketing manager at e-WOLF GmbH “reach is dynamic performance that is very impressive. ” This innovative 4-wheel drive vehicle will be powered by 4 high-performance electric motors with direct coupling. “Here at e-WOLF, we can certainly imagine our E-2 participate in a 24-hour race in the coming years,” said Schoenberg. E-WOLF is marketed worldwide, with operations initially focus on the Middle East and Japan. e-Wolf is in a different league – it does not compete with the big sports car manufacturer. E-WOLF targets a market segment that has been neglected: extreme sports car for a very elite clientele. Let me be clear: There is an electric sports car with a capacity for acceleration that puts it on the edge of technical feasibility.
Newly established e-Wolf GmbH is part of the Maiworm group. The company has accepted the challenge of development and production of electrical power extreme sports cars. The e-company shall not approach Wolf know-how to accumulate the technological development of electric vehicles. Instead, e-WOLF negotiated strategic alliances and project partnerships that they deliberately draw on the expertise of institutes and companies active in this area can draw. In return, e-WOLF enjoys the significant advantage integrate, always in a position to the cutting edge of research in the design of its vehicles. Dr. Werner Hufenbach, director of the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology (ILK), TU Dresden, confirmed that the cooperation between the Institute and e-Wolf will remain an important focal point in the future. “We are sure to go with the trend in this regard and I am personally convinced that electric vehicles will change the world. We have a great chance that we are making the most of plan,” he said. The Institute for Lightweight Structures and Polymer Technology (ILK), TU Dresden, the Saxon Centre for Lightweight Structures (LZS) and Li-Tec Battery are some of the most important e-WOLF partners.
By providing innovative drive components (motor, battery and control systems), e-Wolf GmbH is in the development of an ion transporter of FUMO Multicar part. Powered by electricity, is ideal for Multicar local governments and garden and landscaping work in the city centers, recreational centers and spas. A prototype of the Ion FUMO 1 electric vans will be on the eCarTec 2009 in October. Field trials will be undertaken as the next step.
