Apparently the problem of front-end have not been able to overcome the former Honda and Yamaha rider since making his debut with Ducati in November last year. In fact, a number of radical changes have been done on the Desmosedici, began grafting 800cc engines in 2012-so the name of the motor bike into GP11.1-up to switch to an aluminum frame.

I've lost a lot of time on lap-lap early compared with (Nicky) Hayden and Bautista. But then I started to find the rhythm and can catch them because I am in a better situation with my tires. I can catch them easily and pass Nicky. "

"Then, when I pass Bautista, misfortune came. I lost the front after passing. I do not think at all because it was not the case that large movements or braking too late. You can see it well from television. I've been through Bautista . And after seeing the data, I get exactly the same way as the previous lap-lap. The front is closed and, honestly, I do not know why, "said Rossi.

Thursday, October 13, 2011 | 0 comments

Valentino Rossi almost certain to lose his pride as a rider who always won at least one time in a motor racing season due to poor performance during 2011. Nonetheless, "The Doctor" did not lose a sense of humor that showed ahead of the Australian GP.

On Thursday (10/13/2011) afternoon at Phillip Island, Rossi makes people who listen to his comments could only laugh. Nine-time world champion grand prix, said he needed the extreme weather, ie snow, in order to achieve victory in this 2011 season, after his debut with Ducati did not go smoothly as expected. Of the 15 series that have been done, Rossi just one podium finishes (finished third).

32-year-old rider admitted, horse GP11.1 Desmosedici is not competitive to be a strong competitor Honda rider, Casey Stoner and Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo. No wonder if Ducati has always been behind the two teams since the start of the season.

However, before the Australian GP, there is hope that the Ducati to continue its dominance in the Phillip Island Circuit. Because, in the era of 800cc engine, the team based in Bologna that has always won. However, Rossi undermine the presumption that, including the chance to maintain a record is always won at least one in every season since making his debut at the grand prix in 1996.

"It's a bad feeling. At the beginning of the season, I think we can win some victories, but I have to look at reality, and I think we can not realize it (a victory). This is of course very bad for Ducati always wins, so does I always win at least one series since 1996. Maybe if there is snow, I can win (laughs). "

Nicky Hayden sensed a positive thing when conducting debut with the new Ducati motorcycle that uses an aluminum frame, late last week in Jerez. However, the rider recognizes the United States, the mechanics team based in Bologna that still need to work hard to make the Desmosedici GP12 paketan more competitive in the 2012 season.

The 2006 world champion had to undergo tests at Jerez because Valentino Rossi could not take part. Hayden was soon forced to fly from Kentucky to Europe to replace Rossi, who injured his right hand little finger fractures due to falls on the first lap in the Japanese GP, two weeks ago.

Rossi's withdrawal makes Hayden has the first chance to try the motor frame of aluminum, which has been used since the race Rossi at Motorland Aragon, last month. Framework is designed in Bologna and assembled by a factory in England which is a specialist in solving problems FTR flavor on the front-end.

"We tested well and the team worked very hard. We will not know what has been achieved to when we were together with another rider and is on the same track. But, of course we still have a lot of work," said Hayden.

"For the first time, I ride a bike with an aluminum front frame, and they've made a good step, although we have not overcome all the problems. We have many things to try, but it was a good move."

"That's why when Valentino tried to bike, he was so desperate and choose start from pit lane because it is a good step."

Phil Read: "Ducati Harus Berubah Untuk Rossi"

Monday, October 10, 2011 | 0 comments

Phil Read adalah pembalap pertama yang pernah mendapatkan gelar juara dunia pada empat kategori yang berbeda, yaitu 125cc, 250cc, 500cc, dan Formula TT dengan total 8 gelar juara dunia.

Walaupun sudah berumur 72 tahun, tetapi Phil Read tetap antusias dalam mengikuti perkembangan yang terjadi pada MotoGP yang merupakan balap motor nomor wahid di dunia.

Berikut komentar dari Phil Read mengenai jalannya musim ini dan mengenai kondisi sulit yang terjadi di Ducati.

"Musim ini, kombinasi Stoner-Honda jelas superior. Honda memiliki keunggulan teknis dengan seamless transmission mereka, dan ini membuat mereka lebih cepat sepersekian detik dalam satu lap. Pabrikan lainnya juga harus mengembangkan hal ini."

"Pindahnya Valentino Rossi ke Ducati yang merupakan kombinasi pembalap Italia dengan motor Italia ini merupakan hal yang wajar. Namun Ducati terlalu lambat merubah motor mereka untuk Rossi. Masalah mereka sebenarnya sudah jelas terlihat di Valencia, tapi mereka tidak merubah apapun saat itu. Aku fikir mereka perlu meningkatkan handling motor, terutama pada sasis. Stoner telah melakukan hal yang fantastis yaitu beradaptasi dengan motor Ducati tersebut, tapi Rossi adalah seorang pembalap yang luar biasa yang tidak perlu merubah gaya berkendaranya."

Sudah banyak para pemerhati MotoGP, baik dari mantan jawara MotoGP, crew paddock, hingga fans yang berpendapat sama dengan Phil Read. Semoga hal ini menjadi renungan bagi Ducati dan segera merubah pendekatan mereka dalam membangun motor untuk Valentino Rossi, sehingga kita bisa kembali melihat Rossi bersinar dan memberikan tontonan yang menarik bagi para fans.

Ducati Melirik Alvaro Bautista

Sunday, October 9, 2011 | 0 comments

Alvaro Bautista memang tidak menyelesaikan balapan di Motegi sebelumnya, tapi pembalap Spanyol ini memperlihatkan kemajuan yang solid dalam beberapa balapan sebelumnya, dimana Bautista mampu finish di posisi keenam saat membalap di Indianapolis dan Aragon. Hanya dengan menggunakan Suzuki, Bautista bisa melawan beberapa pembalap Ducati pada beberapa kali balapan.

Mengingat ketidakpastian pada proyek MotoGP di Tim Suzuki, maka Ducati memutuskan untuk menggandeng Bautista ke tim Pramac Ducati. Tim satelit Ducati ini ditenggarai akan menawarkan kontrak dalam beberapa hari ini kepada Bautista, dan fitur yang menarik dari kontrak ini adalah diberikannya kesempatan kepada Bautista untuk membalap di tim pabrikan Ducati pada tahun 2013 jika hasil yang diperoleh Bautista pada musim depan memenuhi ekspektasi Ducati.

Kontrak ini persis seperti yang sebelumnya ditawarkan kepada Dovizioso, namun pembalap Italia ini menolaknya setelah melihat performa Ducati pada musim ini. Selain itu mungkin karena Dovi menghindari konfrontasi head to head dengan Valentino Rossi.

Paling tidak Ducati telah mengambil langkah cerdik lebih awal, mengingat kontrak sebagian besar pembalap top MotoGP berakhir pada akhir musim 2012.

Rossi: "Ini Hanya Insiden Biasa"

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 | 0 comments

"Aku berada di tempat yang salah pada waktu yang salah juga, padahal sebelum balapan aku berjanji pada diri sendiri untuk tidak mengambil resiko yang tidak perlu karena aku tahu kalau aku punya kesempatan untuk membalap dengan baik. Aku memulai balapan dengan baik dan Lorenzo sedikit melebar pada tikungan pertama yang membuatnya melambat. Aku masuk dari sebelah kanannya, tapi aku tidak ingin menyalipnya karena grup masih sangat rapat. Tapi Jorge malah mengerem dan bergerak dengan cepat ke arahku ketika dia mencoba untuk mendapatkan jalur yang bagus untuk masuk tikungan, menyenggol dan mendorongku ke arah Spies. Kemudian Ben bersentuhan dengan tuas rem depanku, hal itulah yang membuatku kehilangan grip pada ban depan. Tidak ada yang bisa aku lakukan untuk menghindari crash itu."

Walaupun sebenarnya Rossi layak untuk memberikan kritik pedas ataupun bogem mentah terhadap Lorenzo, tapi Rossi tetap tenang dan menggangapnya sebagai hal yang wajar terjadi dalam insiden balapan.

"Lorenzo tidak melihatku dan dia tidak melakukan gerakan tersebut untuk menghalangiku. Sayang sekali aku harus keluar dari balapan hanya setelah dua tikungan, terutama setelah perkembangan yang telah kita lakukan pada akhir pekan ini, dan dengan pengetahuan yang kami terapkan pada motor, aku bisa mendapatkan posisi keempat di sesi pemanasan pagi hari. Sangat mungkin untuk mendapatkan pace di sekitar 1 menit 46 detik. Aku juga merasa kalau pilihan ban kami sudah benar, ban hard di belakang dan soft di depan. Mengingat masalah yang terjadi pada Stoner, Simoncelli, dan Dovi, seharusnya kami bisa bertarung untuk mendapatkan podium."

Walaupun insiden ini menghambat Rossi, namun The Doctor tetap antusias dengan perkembangan yang sudah dibuat sejauh ini.

"Motegi adalah sirkuit dimana Ducati memiliki performa bagus dan aku merasa nyaman di atas motor sepanjang akhir pekan ini. Phillip Island juga trek yang bagus untuk kami, Hayden dan Capirossi sangat cepat disana pada masa lalu. Aku berharap disana bisa secepat aku disini. Aku tidak yakin apakah kami siap untuk bertarung mengejar kemenangan, namun demikian Stoner sangat kencang di Australia. Ini balapannnya, Mugello-nya."

I'm In The Wrong Time and Place - Rossi

Valentino Rossi had to swallow a huge disappointment due to an accident on the first lap Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday (02.10.11). In fact, "The Doctor" optimistic can fight to reach the podium at Motegi Circuit because the performance is quite promising Desmosedici GP11.1 mount.

Rossi came to Japan with high enough confidence. After being dropped on the first day of practice, seven-time MotoGP world champion has increased quite promising, including finishing in the top seven qualifying session. The 32-year-old Italian rider is increasingly showing signs of competitive after finishing a four-session warm-up.

Unfortunately, dreams are woven nine-time world champion grand prix should be dashed at the start of the race. When he was thrust into the front row after the start, Rossi made ​​contact with former colleagues at Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo, on the corner 2. Former Honda and Yamaha rider fell off and dragged through the gravel so that the failure to continue the race.

"It's a shame knocked out of the race after two corners, especially after we made ​​progress this weekend, and with the knowledge that we have done well on the bike," Rossi said.

"I was in fourth place during the morning warm-up, and when you also consider the problems faced by Stoner, Simoncelli, and Dovizioso, we could fight for the podium, which of course would be very good for us."

"We were a bit unlucky. Unfortunately, Lorenzo bit wide onto the grass at turn one, and at the next corner he was suddenly moved to the right. He did not see me because I am a little behind."

"When he touched me, pushed his bike to Spies, which touched my front brake lever. This is the normal contact in a race, but I was in the wrong place and time."

"These are challenging times for us, but we hope to be on the right track."

Motegi 2011. Balapan Yang Aneh!

Sunday, October 2, 2011 | 0 comments

Grand Prix Jepang kemari sungguh balapan yang dramatis karena ada beberapa pembalap yang melakukan jump start dan tidak sedikit pembalap MotoGP yang terjebak di gravel.

Dovi yang melakukan jump start, memancing Crutchlow dan Simoncelli yang berada di belakangnya refleks dan mengikutinya. Akhirnya mereka bertiga diberi penalti ride through yaitu berkendara melewati jalur pit.

Rossi terjatuh di tikungan kedua karena terjepit oleh kedua pembalap tim pabrikan Yamaha, padahal hasil sesi warm up di pagi hari dimana Rossi berada di posisi keempat cukup menjanjikan untuk memberikan balapan yang menarik.

Stoner yang telah mengembangkan gap tiba-tiba mengalami getaran yang hebat pada motornya yang membuatnya melewatkan braking point, saat dia hendak mengerem ternyata ban depan motornya mengunci dan RC212V yang dikendarai terlihat seperti hendak melompat. Ternyata ini bukan jurus kangguru, jurus rahasia Stoner, dan Stoner harus merayap di gravel trap.

Menjelang akhir balapan kita melihat beberapa grup yang terpisah, sepertinya kali ini grup terbagi berdasarkan negara asal pembalap. Di depan ada Dani Pedrosa dan Lorenzo yang berebut podium utama, keduanya berasal dari Spanyol. Simoncelli dan Dovi yang berasal dari Italia bersaing untuk mendapatkan tempat keempat. Lebih ke belakang lagi, ada Spies, Hayden dan Edwards yang mewakili Amerika, mereka bertarung untuk mendapatkan posisi keenam. Sungguh balapan yang aneh!

Hayden: "GP11.1 Sudah Mencapai Potensi Maksimumnya"

Thursday, September 29, 2011 | 0 comments

Walaupun baru tiga kali membalap dengan menggunakan update terbaru GP11.1, Nicky Hayden sudah bisa menyimpulkan bahwa motor Ducati Desmosedici GP11.1 telah mencapai potensi tertingginya.

Ducati pertama kali memperkenalkan GP11.1 pada akhir Juni di Assen untuk dipakai oleh Valentino Rossi yang kesulitan dalam mencapai hasil yang signifikan dengan motor GP11 sengaja disiapkan untuk menghadapi musim ini.

GP11.1 memiliki fitur girboks seamless shift terbaru, sistem suspensi belakang baru, swingarm dan mesin yang dimodifikasi agar tidak melanggar regulasi 800cc yang saat ini berlaku.

Hayden mengendarai GP11.1 pertama kalinya pada sesi latihan di Laguna Seca pada akhir Juli sebelum akhirnya memutuskan untuk menunda debutnya bersama GP11.1 hingga dia mendapatkan lebih banyak waktu dan pengalaman untuk menguji motor versi terbaru itu.

Kemudian Hayden menggunakan GP11.1 sejak balapan Indianapolis, namun Kentucky Kid ini hanya berhasil membawa pulang 11 poin dari ketiga balapan terakhirnya bersama GP11.1. Dari sini terlihat seolah GP11.1 telah mencapai performa maksimumnya, artinya GP11.1 tidak banyak membawa kemajuan dari sisi performa.


"Ya, kelihatannya motor ini sudah berada pada potensi tertingginya. Tentunya Ducati menguji beberapa komponen dan kami tahu kalau kami harus membuat perubahan besar karena kami tertinggal jauh dari para rival."

Rossi telah menguji sasis full amuminium twin spar di Jerez pada hari jumat yang lalu. Sepertinya Ducati mulai percaya pada Rossi untuk merambah pada cara yang lebih konvensional dalam memperbaiki masalah front-end yang menghambat Rossi sepanjang musim 2011 ini.

Rossi telah mencoba membalap dengan konsep terbaru aluminium pada Grand Prix Aragon akhir pekan lalu, namun konsep ini tidaklah sasis konvensional full twin spar seperti yang digunakan oleh Honda, Yamaha, dan Suzuki.

"Mereka telah menguji coba aluminium dan aku fikir itu bukanlah masalah material. Aku rasa lebih kepada kekakuan dan fleksibilitas. Kamu bisa membuat carbon menjadi lebih lembut ataupun lebih kaku, jadi aku rasa bukan disitu masalahnya. Aku sudah pernah menguji banyak swingarm berbahan aluminium dan carbon fiber, kamu bisa mendapatkan salah satunya jika kamu menginginnya."

New Chassis for Rossi

Sunday, September 25, 2011 | 0 comments

Valentino Rossi will test deltabox aluminum chassis (available in order to bring the tank) for conventional Desmosedici GP12 at this weekend at Jerez. The tests were carried out after "The Doctor" won the pathetic results in Circuit Motorland Aragon, last weekend.

The new framework is similar to the concept used by Ducati from Japanese rivals. This is the latest in a long series of radical changes made ​​Ducati, to give Rossi a competitive motor, which can compete for victory.

In Aragon, Rossi has been using aluminum chassis is somewhat different to that of Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki. But the poor results, in which he finished just 10 - in addition because of tire problems and start from the pitlane -, make them try the twin poles aluminum chassis, designed in Bologna, and made ​​in England, the FTR.

Since making his debut with Ducati, Rossi has tried three major changes in the redesign of this concept in 2011. Result, there is little success, including a new carbon fiber framework that is flexible, after the race at Estoril.

After that, the 32-year-old rider is riding the Desmosedici GP11.1, which introduces a new gearbox is more subtle, swingarm and rear suspension systems. This concept is used when performing at the Circuit Assen, the Netherlands, and used up to now.

In the final race last week in Motorland Aragon, Rossi uses a new concept. Former Honda and Yamaha rider is riding a Ducati with an aluminum chassis, though not yet using the full version deltabox, as will be used on Friday.

The use of conventional deltabox is expected to be one answer to the main issues facing Rossi since the beginning of the season. Because the nine-time world champion grand prix is always struggling with the problem of chronic difficulty controlling Desmosedici, and lacked a sense of the front-end.

Rossi Will Tried To Changes His Riding Positions

| 0 comments

Valentino Rossi continued to seek a solution that can "tame" Ducati mount. Seven times MotoGP world champion, said that the position of riding a motorcycle, would be one way out, so that Ducati can get a good speed.

Since making his debut this season, Rossi has not shown encouraging performance, because until the 14th series, "The Doctor" on the podium only once, when finishing in the top three French GP. In fact, he has made some changes, including "grafting" 800cc engine to the chassis 2012 (Desmosedici GP11.1), and switch to an aluminum chassis, which came into use in the last series in Aragon, last weekend.

However, all the changes it has not shown an encouraging change. Although the bike was feeling better, but the reality Rossi only finish in the top 10 in races in Motorland Aragon. However, the failure was compounded by the problem tires wear out, and start from the pitlane.

Well, after a number of changes that have not demonstrated significant progress, Rossi looking for another solution. The 32-year-old rider from Italy is curious, whether riding position did influence the performance of Ducati motorcycles. In fact, Stoner is very fast in a straight line while still a squad team based in Bologna that.

"We lost in some areas is quite strange," said Rossi.

"For example, compared with the Stoner us much more slowly in a straight line, with the same motor as we have in the first test.

"We need to understand this, because the driving position is probably more suitable for shorter riders and smaller, than at high rider like me, or like Nicky (Hayden). We must understand if they can fix it."

Rossi said the problem with racing a position clearly visible through the television.

"I feel very uncomfortable on the bike, so we had to think of something to move the weight, and if you see me on television, I do not drive a motor as in the past," he explained. "It's very obvious from the outside."

Former Honda and Yamaha rider was admitted, Ducati has so far not been able to resolve the problem at hand. Although they have worked in many different ways, but not much that can be overcome.

"We are still slow. In addition, in some races we also inconsistent. It seems we can not solve the problem."

Pernat: "Stoner Buruk Untuk Ducati"

| 0 comments

Saat ini posisi Stoner semakin kokoh di klasemen pembalap MotoGP dengan keunggulan 44 poin terhadap pesaing terdekatnya, Jorge Lorenzo, yang semakin pasrah. Pembalap Australia ini bersiap untuk mengunci gelar juara dunia MotoGP keduanya di Phillip Island. Balapan di Aragon memberikan kemenangan ke-31 bagi Stoner pada kelas premier, setara dengan kemenangan Eddie Lawson, pembalap Amerika dengan kemenangan terbanyak. Namun Carlo Pernat punya pendapat lain mengenai Stoner. Menurutnya kesuksesan Stoner pada tahun 2007 di Ducati hanyalah sukses yang semu yang pada kenyataannya lebih membahayakan Ducati karena telah mengirim pabrikan Italia ini pada jurang keterpurukan seperti yang kita lihat saat ini. Lho, apa hubungannya? Mari kita dengar komentar 'pedas namun jujur' dari Pernat.

"Di Aragon kita melihat dengan jelas technical superiority motor Honda yang artinya kejuaraan telah berakhir. Tapi hal ini tidak mengecilkan pengaruh dari Stoner karena tanpa dia gelar juara akan jatuh pada Lorenzo lagi, karena pada akhirnya Dani tidak mampu untuk membawa pulang gelar juara dunia untuk Honda. Jadi Honda itu pintar karena telah mengontrak Casey."



"Sementara itu Valentino berada pada kondisi yang berlawanan. Dia mengatakan bahwa tidak ada satu modifikasi pun yang membawa perubahan. Jadi sekarang mereka membangun motor seperti yang diinginkan Ducati dan Valentino belajar mengendarainya, padahal sebaiknya mereka melakukan hal sebaliknya. Rossi mengatakan bahwa 'Bangunlah motor seperti yang aku inginkan!' Sejauh ini Ducati hanya mencoba melakukan perubahan instan yang tidak cukup memberi solusi. Dengan mesin Jepang, kamu mengendarai motor, dengan Ducati kamu mengendarai mesin."

"Sekedar provokasi, sebenarnya Stoner itu buruk untuk Ducati. Kejuaraan 2007 membawa Ducati pada langkah yang salah seperti kondisi mereka pada saat ini, dengan motor yang tidak seorang pun yang dapat mengendarainya dan telah mematikan karir banyak pembalap. Itulah kenapa aku mengatakan kalau Stoner buruk untuk Ducati. Kamu bisa melihatnya dari hasil Ducati saat ini."

Semoga Ducati sadar dengan hal ini dan benar-benar mempercayakan proyeknya pada Rossi. Sebenarnya Ducati saat ini sangat beruntung karena mereka hanya harus siap dengan suntikan dana saja untuk melakukan pengembangan motor. Mereka telah memiliki orang-orang terbaik, kombinasi Rossi, Burgess, dan Preziosi itu lebih dari cukup untuk menciptakan sebuah motor yang ditakuti oleh para rivalnya.

Bad Credit Auto Refinance - Get A Better Replacement of Your Loan

Saturday, September 24, 2011 | 0 comments

By Rock Watson

Credit
Everyone is dealing with credit issues. Lenders, who once financed all and sundry, have become so selective that an average credit score is not enough for them. So, a bad credit score is absolutely out of question.
Stringent lending norms and a bad credit score made you a sitting duck for dealers. But, this doesn't mean you are stuck with high interest rates for the rest of life. The 43rd US President said that America is land of second chance. And, it surely is.
You can have your second chance by refinancing your auto loan. Remember, that your bad credit record is just a history and nothing more. There are still few lenders who are interested in giving you that second chance.

You have the opportunity of paying off your loan with a new low interest loan. A bad credit score sure compelled you to opt for higher interest rates, but things can change now. Bad credit refinancing can free you from the vicious circle of high interest rates- high payments. It is a simple process and has the potential to save loads of money.
The loan term is also a bit longer so that it becomes easier for you to make payments. With bad credit loans available, you are no longer required to avail an expensive personal loan for making payments.
There is another important benefit associated with refinancing. As the new lender will need few days to process you loan, you will actually get to skip your payment. Isn't it great?
Now, Why Are Lenders Interested In You?
Does it sound too good to be true?
Well, lenders have a reason for it. They know that you are crazy for your car and won't let it repoed. But at the same time, it is becoming extremely difficult for you to make such high payments. They know that you just need a low-interest loan. Lenders are assured that they will not lose money if they decide to refinance you.
When Someone Is Ready To Refinance You, Why Wait?
It is a misconception that you must at least wait for a year to look for refinancing options. There is no minimum waiting period or lock in period on auto loans. You can refinance your loan anytime you want it. The earlier you do, the better it is. An auto loan is designed in such a way that your early payments are directed towards the interest amount and so your principal amount won't reduce considerably. So there is no point in waiting, is it?
Also, a car is a depreciating asset. So if you refinance it early, there are lesser chances of an upside-down loan.
Requirements
Unlike mortgage refinancing, auto loan refinancing is less concerned with appraisals. There are no stringent inspections.
You will just have to specify the car's year of manufacture and its mileage. Also a clean title is a condition. If you want to have a shorter loan term, the lender may even accept an eight year old car.
It doesn't matter for the lender if you have had a bankruptcy or tax liens in past. A continuous employment with the same employer and regular payments will definitely improve your chances of approval.
Web - The Best Place
From pin to plane, internet is the best place to find everything. Use it to search for bad credit lenders. They also go by the name of sub-prime lenders. Fill in the simple application form and you will be able to generate several free quotes.
Now, you must remember that you get the best deal only when you compare. A lower interest rate with a longer loan term is almost same as higher interest rate with a shorter term.
So, calculate the APR (Annual Percentage Rate). It will express the exact interest rate for a whole year instead of monthly payments and will be an effective tool for comparison. Take help of the online loan calculator to compute the exact benefit.
Once you find that flawless loan, don't wait for long. Grab the opportunity and get going. Sign the dotted after scrutinizing the contract.
As you complete the documentation process, the new lender will pay off your loan and you will be able to make affordable monthly payments.
What Should Be Your Long Term Strategy?
Kudos to you!
You now have a low-interest loan. But don't be satisfied with it. It is essential that you constantly work and improve your credit score. If you do so, you will be able to get that elite 0% financing.
A high credit score will solve almost all your financial problems. So, take initiatives to re-build it. Avoid unnecessary use of credit card. You must also restrict the number of needless inquiries on your credit report. Make payments on time and slowly your score will improve.
But, the immediate course of action is to hit the web and search for sub-prime lenders. Once you refinance your auto loan, you must concentrate on your credit score.
Smart car owners know that refinancing can help them in a big way, but smarter owners know the importance of credit score as well.

Use the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu 2.5L Ecotec engine

Tuesday, September 20, 2011 | 0 comments

General Motors is preparing a major project in the design of the Chevrolet Malibu 2013. GM will take off Malibu in all major markets and 100 countries worldwide.

If the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu sold all over the world, certainly the engine lineup will vary in each country. Only this time GM is still focusing on the model which was released in the U.S. and attended in 2012.

General Motors Malibu engine detailing detail using the all-new 2.5-liter four-cylinder Ecotec. This machine takes the details from the old 2.4-liter model. This unit is expected to produce 190 horsepower and peak torque of 180 lb-ft (250nm).


Chevrolet Malibu 2013 will emphasize the economic value on the highway. Expected to consume more than 30mpg, or about 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

"The intensity of the noise that existed at the 2.4-liter engine has been reduced by 40 percent. 2.5L engine provides more torque at low rpm while. This makes the Malibu is stronger at the beginning or during the opening maneuver," said Mike Anderson GM engineering chief.

Uccio: "Rossi Berusaha Kembali Ke Jalan Kemenangan"

Monday, September 19, 2011 | 0 comments

Teman akrab Valentino Rossi berbicara panjang lebar kepada Mediaset Premium pada hari sabtu pagi yang lalu, ternyata Uccio bersikap positif dan terbuka ketika memberikan penjelasan kepada salah satu stasiun televisi Italia mengenai hubungan Valentino Rossi dengan Ducati.

"Aku senang karena mendapatkan kesempatan untuk menjelaskan situasi saat ini dan aku rasa ini adalah saat yang telat untuk mengungkapkannya, terutama kepada para fans yang menderita sepertiku. Ini adalah tahun yang sulit. Selama ini Vale memiliki masalah dengan feeling pada Ducati, dimana motor tidak memberikan warning. Motor ini sangat lembut. Beban terarah ke bagian depan, tapi kemudian terhambat di depan dengan tiba-tiba dan yang anehnya kemudian motor menjadi sangat kaku. Dengan unit sasis depan yang baru, kami bisa bilang kalau ini adalah sebuah motor baru. Bedanya dengan motor konvensional adalah Ducati tidak memiliki frame, tapi dengan modifikasi terbaru ini kami telah meningkat selama akhir pekan dan ini membuat Valentino senang."

Dari luar sih tidak terlihat banyak perubahan...

"Dari pengalamanku, aku sudah melihat banyak hal-hal sederhana yang membuat perbedaan dalam MotoGP. Kamu harus bekerja dengan baik pada komponen yang bermasalah."

Apakah menurutmu perubahan yang diminta Valentino akan menyebabkan masalah jika bertentangan dengan filosofi yang diadopsi untuk motor produksi masal?

"Aku tidak tahu apapun mengenai motor produksi masal. Ducati adalah perusahaan yang cerdas dan Filippo Preziosi adalah yang pertama mengatakan bahwa jika Ducati ingin membuat motor kemenangan maka mereka harus mendengarkan Valentino. Bukan karena namanya, tapi karena dia adalah salah satu pembalap terbaik yang pernah ada dalam mengembangkan motor. Filippo mengerti apa yang diminta oleh Valentino dan dia sudah melakukan perubahan besar pertamanya dalam dua bulan ini. Ini adalah perubahan yang sangat signifikan karena jumlah pekerjaan yang terlibat. Hal ini membuktikan kalau Preziosi dan Ducati mendengarkan dan mengikuti Valentino."

Tapi diantara Valentino dan Preziosi juga ada tim...

"Jeremy Burgess telah memenangkan kejuaraan dunia selama 30 tahun. Tim kami ingin menang, mereka bekerja sangat keras. Jeremy memiliki jalur langsung kepada Preziosi. Benar bahwa tim dan Jeremy tidak terlalu yakin dengan proyek ini, tapi karena mereka melihat revolusi di Ducati untuk mencoba mengikuti petunjuk dari Valentino, situasi jadi berubah total. Jeremy sedikit kecewa ketika Ducati konsentrasi pada proyek carbon fiber karena dia sangat mengerti motor dan dia tahu kalau proyek ini tidak akan menang dalam waktu singkat.

Tapi bukankah seolah-olah Ducati membangun full frame untuk Valentino?

"Itu tidak benar. Unit sasis depan yang baru ini merupakan langkah ke depan yang signifikan. Sekarang Ducati bisa mulai dari sini dan terus mengembangkannya, membuatnya cukup rigid berdasarkan feedback Valentino. Melewati hambatan ini untuk menjadi kencang tidaklah mustahil dan ini belum terlambat."

Seberapa lama motivasi Valentino akan bertahan?

"Motivasinya akan bertahan sampai dia mulai menang lagi. Dia berusaha untuk kembali ke jalan kemenangan dan aku mengatakan hal yang sama karena itulah yang sebenarnya. Dia tidak kembali ke motorhome miliknya sampai pukul 20.30 malam karena dia sibuk meeting dengan para engineer. Kemua pada pukul 8.30 pagi dia kembali bersama para engineer lagi. Vale sangat mendorong mereka semua. Kamu bisa melihat mereka kelelahan saat meeting, tapi Valentino masih tetap semangat berbicara. Sekarang dalam fikirannya adalah dia ingin menang dengan motor ini dan biasanya dia menyelesaikan apa yang dia lakukan. Ada banyak potensi, mereka hanya perlu untuk menemukan arah yang tepat, bekerja keras dan hasilnya akan terlihat."

Preziosi: "Vale Memberi Feedback Yang Sangat Jelas"

Wednesday, September 14, 2011 | 0 comments

Sulit mengetahui apa yang akan dilakukan oleh Ducati pada Grand Prix Aragon nanti. Setelah balapan terakhir di Misano, Vale memberikan kesan kalau dia dan timnya akan lebih berfokus pada hasil dalam waktu dekat ini. Uji coba di Mugello pada pekan lalu membuka jalan baru untuk pengembangan dan karena pabrikan Italia ini sudah bekerja mempersiapkan 2012, maka bukan tidak mungkin mereka akan menggunakan beberapa update komponen yang sudah tersedia dalam waktu dekat ini.

Filippo Preziosi memberikan pernyataan di Misano, "Kami belum tahu solusi apa yang pada akhirnya akan kami pakai. Kami akan membandingkan semua opsi yang ada dan kemudian mengambil keputusan berdasarkan keinginan pembalap."

Kemudian Preziosi menambahkan, "Vale memberikan feedback yang sangat jelas dan dia memberitahukan kami bagaimana kelakuan motor. Kesulitannya adalah mengetahui bagaimana cara merubah feedback menjadi suatu desain dan menemukan pengembangan yang bisa meningkatkan performa komponen."

Bagian dari pengembangan ini juga ditujukan pada seamless transmission yang belakangan menjadi problematika bagi Rossi.

"Kami kira kami telah menemukan solusi agar setiap pembalap bisa menurunkan gigi seperti yang mereka inginkan," tukas direktur teknis Italia ini.

Preziosi juga mengklarifikasi tentang filosofi Ducati terhadap kompetisi. "Tim balap mengembangkan ide dan kemudian kami mengimplementasikannya untuk perusahaan."

Walaupun tahun ini menjadi musim yang sulit, Preziosi masih merasakan hal positif dengan hubungannya dengan manajemen. "Aku senang bekerja di perusahaan yang membiarkan para engineer dan desainernya bebas berkarya seperti yang mereka butuhkan."

Although some people are involved in the restoration of vintage cars as a means of business, the greater driving force behind many of those involved in this industry is their great passion. Their primary source of joy is to see a vintage car come back to life.

Many people strive to own a vintage car as a sign of some unique kind of prestige, particularly when you consider how involving it is to maintain such a vehicle. However, owning such a car is not just a matter of having the necessary funds. You need to be passionate about vintage cars in the first place.

The restoration of a vintage car requires a great deal of patience. It requires delicate skill and a lot of determination. Although restored cars are usually displayed at car shows, some owners will drive them occasionally. However, some people will just keep them carefully in wait for the appropriate shows. This should not take you with surprise as we have already said that restoring such cars is quite an involving undertaking. It requires a lot of money and time in order to be done successfully. Risking its destruction or theft is hence quite a high price to pay. Which is why it is important for you to take an insurance when you have such a prized possession.


Vintage car insurance is not the same as that of the ordinary cars. Contrary to what you may think, it is actually cheaper to take a insurance than the normal one. This is due to the limited mileage covered in addition to such considerations as parking garages. Another factor that determines the price of vintage car insurance is the type of car itself. If it is a rare model that is costly, the price of the insurance too will be higher.

There are some things you should bear in mind before you take your the insurance. For instance, you need to determine whether the provider guarantees your car's valuation first. Otherwise you may discover that your claim will not be accepted when the time comes. Of course you will foot additional bills for such a valuation, but it is still a worthwhile undertaking.

You will not find difficulties in getting a suitable vintage car insurance, as they are readily listed in vintage car magazines or yellow pages. You can then get in touch with the relevant providers either by visiting their offices or placing a call.

However, these two options have their respective drawbacks. You may need to make several phone calls and then comparing the quotes will be difficult. And speaking to an agent may make you make a commitment before you do enough research. So, you can instead do your search online more conveniently and quickly.

Rossi Refuse Checa Challenges in WBSK

Valentino Rossi declined the offer to perform at World Superbikes at the end of this year for Ducati, although he got a wildcard. "The Doctor" said that he still was the focus of this face of the MotoGP season.

Nine-time world champion grand prix is ​​challenged by the leader of the standings WSB, Carlos Checa, to a duel in Imola which will take place on 25 September, the week between GP Motorland Aragon and Twin Ring Motegi. Checa gave the invitation, knowing that Rossi will be "available".

But Rossi, who is fighting hard to improve the performance Ducati thus more competitive in the rest of the MotoGP 2011 season, said he could not fulfill the invitation of the Spanish rider. Although he had never confirmed his desire to compete in World Superbike someday, but Rossi said that it (appears in Superbike) must be outside the MotoGP schedule.

Previously, Rossi had also received "wild card" for the series against Troy Bayliss in Qatar, with Yamaha, in 2009. However, Japanese manufacturers refused his request to ride a motorcycle factory R1.

Rossi said: "This is a good idea, and I like. But it was always difficult for the calendar. First, I almost always appear in WSB racing, especially in 2009. There is a race in Qatar, but Yamaha have told me they have a new R1 , so they do not have much money and they are not sure.

"I want to do it, but I'm more happy if outside the calendar. During the hectic schedule. So, why not in the future, and because maybe we could be more fun than here."

Rossi also rejected the idea of ​​implementation of the WSB and MotoGP at different times, as has been discussed previously.

WSB plans to campaign during the winter, and the MotoGP during the summer, has been debated. But Rossi said: "I've heard this idea from two years ago, but maybe it has some good points and bad. It may be more difficult for WSB if it takes place in winter, in finding the right place to race. I want to try take one race, but if the WSB in the winter, then I do not go two championships. That's too much. "
