Hi, the current battery is about 1.5 years old and current mileage is 41000KM. As I understand, it is high time to change the battery when it is about 2 years old or usage of 40,000KM. What is the specs of the battery? As I understand not all battery even with the right AMP is suitable. Do PM the estimated/best price.

I've inherited a Kicker Solabaric subwoofer along with a PPI amp powering it from a friend. According to my installer, the PPI amp is not good enough to power the sub and indeed, the amp died on me recently. An installer advised me to get a min 600W monoblock to power the sub which I realised it's really hard to come by in the used market and it's definitely not cheap too. Just wondering if I could just get a 2Ch amp to power the sub as I really do not wish to spend too much on ICE. As there are always amp sellers on the net, any idea what sort of specs should I be looking for? Would a specs like this be good enough to power my sub? 4 x 100 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms 4 x 200 Watts Max at 4 Ohms 2 x 400 Watts Max at 4 Ohms Bridged 4 x 175 Watts at 2 Ohms Thanks for reading. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Any bros can enlighten, as many Japs cars in N. Americas and European market are so called "Euro Spec"??????

Hi Peopple out there... One question on Brake fluid. Saw this specification on the fluid bottle saying DOT3.... What does this mean and can we mix maybe DOT3 into DOT4? Thanks in advance...

Now this is one engine I would love to have in my car , whatever car it is Facts and figures: Output of the BMW P83 is over 900 bhp. Maximum engine speed is 19,200 rpm. In a race, engine speed is limited to 19,000 rpm. Idle speed is 4,000 rpm. The engine weighs less than 90 kilograms. It completes a distance of 500 kilometres before undergoing revision. Total production of the BMW P83 is 200 units, ten of which the team takes to each race. Before being phased out the engine will have received 1,388 upgrade modifications. It comprises around 5,000 individual components, 1,000 of them different. The air intake volume is 1,995 cubic metres per hour. Maximum piston acceleration is 10,000 g. Piston speed peaks at 40 metres per second and averages 25 metres per second. Exhaust temperatures of up to 950 degrees are reached. Maximum air temperature in the pneumatic system is 250 degrees. The ultra-high-speed 130R turn at Suzuka with its lateral load of 4g poses the greatest challenge to the oil system. The BMW P83 endured the highest full-throttle proportion on the Monza circuit at 73 per cent per lap. At the Monaco Grand Prix, the transmission and engine have to withstand an average 3,100 gear changes. The engine block and cylinder head are made of cast aluminium and are manufactured at the BMW Formula One foundry in Landshut using a special thin-wall casting method. BMW Munich handles, among other things the manufacture of the crankshaft (steel), camshaft (case-hardened steel) and camshaft covers, as well as processing of the cylinder head and crankcase. The oil system and engine electronics also stem from BMW Munich.
