This is the final frontier my friend; if you have come this far then rest assured, fuel not blood runs through your veins, and that you have gear cogs in your brain rather than grey matter. This is passion bordering on obsession!
“If money is no object then sky is the limit in terms of car modification. We in our garage can strip down a car to its chassis and build a completely new body from the ground up. Give us even a Maruti and 30 days and we’ll make a convertible out of it! For roughly 2-3 lakhs we can give a new look to any car,” says Jagjit Singh who owns Fine Auto Works in Khan Market, with a super confident air. Although the ‘look’ matters at this juncture, but the changes taking place under the hood take precedence.
First up, nitro boosters, turbochargers, and heavy duty K&N air filters, rest assured these are as effective as they sound. Skipping the technical details, installing these will cost you a bomb, but they’ll ensure that you never lose a street race again. Designed to take your torque and horsepower to stratospheric heights and to force more air into your cylinders, these will give you more power than you or your car can possibly handle. For that tricky business, you have four-point disc brake and sports clutches.
Nowadays, most cars come with disc brakes in the front tyres,
however, most cars don’t have turbochargers and nitros! But you do, so before you ram headfirst into a concrete divider at 200 kmph, it’s better to have disc brakes installed on all four tyres. As for the sports clutch, this little baby will ensure that a mere tap of the clutch pedal will change the gears for you, saving you those precious seconds in a tight race.
Lastly, a racing car should sound like a racing car (not like an Amby with a bad throat) so to get that elusive whine of a rally car when you rev the accelerator, make sure that the exhaust is made free flowing. And now for the final touch, it’s called the Spitfire. And what it does is ultra cool. At the touch of a button, a jet of flame shoots out of your exhaust pipe, both a sign and a warning. A sign that tells other people that the spirit of adventure burns within you and also a warning that tells everyone that you happen to be as crazy as they come!

who now sits snuggly at the No. 5 spot. Honda has to move quickly and deliver great new products much before its rivals, something unlike the Honda Civic introduction which happened in 1972, six years after its closest rival, the Toyota Corolla. (For the records, the Corolla is the world’s largest selling car!) Even hybrids which are the latest trend were not spared from the ill-effects of the ‘casual’ Honda pathogen. The company spent too much time (and money) in studying the hybrid market, thus giving competitors time to establish themselves. The Toyota Prius sells an enviable number because it was launched almost two years before Honda launched the Insight in 1999 and FCX sometime later. And sadly, even today, the FCX has not been able to establish itself as a viable hybrid, especially because of poor hydrogen infrastructure.
generates about 146,000 tonnes of eWaste annually and the domestic eWaste is expected to touch a staggering figure of 1,600,000 tonnes by 2012. The metals contribute to over 60% of the total eWaste volume, while pollutants contribute to 2.7%. These pollutants are highly toxic when burnt or recycled in uncontrolled environments and exposure to these materials damage the nervous systems, kidney, bones and reproductive systems. And the situation is nowhere close to improving as a 2008 Greenpeace study proves. In the survey, 9 out of 20 brands tested for their take back practice in India have ‘no take back’ service. Imparting awareness in eWaste and to make take-back centre accessible is therefore the need of the hour.
friendly, meet the CCXR. This 1000 bhp super car is designed to run on biofuel while developing 20% more power than its gasoline brethren.
economic monsters, the debate continues. For the uninitiated, a SWF is a government-owned investment fund, which invests in all kinds of assets.They presently account for 2% of the world’s $165 trillion of traded assets. Politicians & governments of many countries fear that the investment objectives of SWFs are more politically driven rather than commercially inclined. After having infused around $70 billion in US financial institutions suffering from the subprime fiasco, resource firms seems to be their new found love. The almost moribund state of the financial institutions in which the sovereign wealth funds invested have made their investments unproductive. The China Investment Corporation (CIC), a Chinese sovereign wealth fund, faced severe criticism in Beijing because of its investment in the private equity firm, Blackstone Group LP. In June 2007, China acquired 9.9% stake of Blackstone for $3 billion. This 9.9% stake is currently worth only $2 billion, with 33% value eroded over the past one year. US politicians are also raising hue and cry. US Republican Congressman, Thaddeus McCotter, describes SWFs as a threat to economic liberty. However, Sherman Chen, Economist, Moody’s Economy.com counters, “The recent shift in investment preferences reflecting shifting economic outlook lends weight to the assertion that SWF investments aren’t driven by poltical purposes, but purely commercial ones.”
Qantas flight QS 648 is about to make a safe landing,” (hopefully)! Hope is a powerful emotion, albeit one that Qantas passengers hardly identified with, until last week that is, thanks to the airlines hugely impressive safety record. But three mid-air dramas have been a bit too much for passengers to take. Qantas is going through some turbulence in an already weakening climate for the aviation industry. By its good fortune, the airlines’ ‘no casualty’ record is still intact. Unfortunately, on the other hand, the environment in the aviation sector doesn’t meet that benchmark by miles!
culminate. If we actually had a solution to this predicament, India would have been able to evade its internal conflicts. If nothing else, then at least the inconsequential blame game of having insufficient and ineffective terror laws between the UPA and BJP could have been avoided. But all this hardly matters to the people who lost their loved ones in various terrors attacks; all that matters to them is that their lives are in jeopardy!
the trade war, but very few have expressed their concerns over its implications in third world countries. The trade war started in 1989 with US’s excessive export of hormone-treated beef to Europe. EU suddenly banned beef exports from the US and appealed to WTO on ‘human health grounds’. In reality, the EU was frightened as the beef market was gradually being monopolised by US exporters. US reacted belatedly in 1993 accusing EU of having a discriminatory trade policy for Carribean banana producers! When US envisioned grasping the world food market by inventing genetically modified (GM) foods, EU completely denied the exports of such ‘stuff’. US refuted EU’s allegation of social, economic and ecological hazards. But as the ‘war’ continues, EU’s warning against GM crops has left Africans in a dilemma. Zimbabwe, Zambia Uganda and many others are frightened to accept GM foods as this may ruin Africa’s relations with Europe; subsequently, Africa may lose its agri-export business in Europe. Africa is also frightened of losing aid from the single largest continent to aid Africa, that is, Europe.
continue on that path. For example, when telecom used to be a pure play analogue and voice and data travelled separately, Cisco proved that voice could travel on the IP backbone and successfully demonstrated it. Now even video and security applications are travelling on the network. The next step is virtualisation, where the user is not aware of whether he is accessing multiple sources or the same source.
replay in your mind the events of your life like a movie, and in the exact chronological order of its occurrence? Sounds interesting, but wishful right? Well, not really... Neurologists from the University of California (UC) Irvine had conducted studies on a few people who were diagnosed with this extraordinary ability to recall every moment of their life whenever desired!
villages (1,25,000 of them), proved to be a non-starter due to lack of responses from States. According to the policy, all State Governments were required to prepare and notify a rural electrification plan to achieve the goal of providing access to all households within six months of the policy being notified. However, not even a single State had forwarded its plans to the Centre by the stipulated deadline.
How do we differentiate between the two? (Brian Napoli, Medina, N.Y.) Ans: Talk about perfect timing. Given recent events, we don’t really have to write a word to answer your question; it’s simple – what we need to do is to point at two examples and they say it all. And we’re pointing in the direction of the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
