I am selling my beloved 1984 VW Rabbit that was converted to Propane power years ago. It started life as a Gasoline engine but the fuel tank, injectors and fuel distributor were removed to make way for the propane carburetor, regulator, heat exchanger, fuel tank, shut-off valve etc. to be installed. It has an Aluminum "fork lift" tank that lays in a cradle inside of a sheet metal box that was welded into the floor of the car where the back seat USED to be, it's gone now. The fuel system is pretty much what an old lift truck would have, all the parts are made by IMPCO. It runs well and the oil stays clean for a long time, due to the clean burning fuel. The car goes about 150 miles before I start to worry and get filled up. It will go further, but why risk it. Problem is, there is no fuel gauge to watch, you can only reset the trip odometer to keep track, reminds me of my old endure bike that I rode for years. It's an old car that still works, but it's not perfect and it was driven in the winter here in Upstate NY. To re-fuel, I would open the passenger side rear door, remove the tank box cover, dis-connect the fuel fitting, lift out the tank and have the guy at the station fill it on his scale. Then I would lift it up and lay it back in the box and cover it. The cover has strong latches to keep it tight. The fuel compartment is OPEN at the bottom (no floor, you can see the ground) to allow propane to "fall" out if a leak develops, as it is heavier than air. I modified this car as a tinker project that I happened to drive for quite a while. The interior is very Spartan, not much in there, no head liner, radio, padding, sound deadening etc. Bare bones! One thing I would do before I drove it again is replace the fuel hose that travels from the tank to the regular and the short one that connects the regulator to the shut-off valve. They are rubber with braid covering and only last for a certain amount of time before they start to crack. The hose I used was Aeroquip brand, if I remember correctly. Anyhow, it's due I'm sure. Not a big deal, just wanted to mention it. The car has rust and I tried to show it in the photos, it is 30 years old! I used silicone brake fluid to preserve the insides of the brake system as they usually rust out. Tires are snows with enough tread to use in the summer. All the doors, windows, latches etc. work.

Porsche 911 and Nissan 350Z get smoked by unlikely hero

Mon, Jun 1 2015

So a Nissan 350Z Procharger and a current Porsche 911 GT3 drive onto the Autobahn together - stop me if you've heard this one before - and they decide to race. We're not sure how much power the Z is packing, but the stock model topped out at 306 horsepower on the last year of its run in 2009. And if that's a stock GT3 then it will be rocking something like 475 horsepower. So the Z and the GT3 give it a racing go, and just as one of them starts to pull away they're both overtaken by one of the most unlikely dark horses you could imagine. It's a really short video and we won't spoil the surprise, so check it out above.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
