All Abouth Cars

KOENIGSEGG People love to fawn over the the 1360-horsepower  record-breaking Koenigsegg Agera RS , but Koenigsegg made a sister car that not many people talk about:  The Agera S . It's a detuned Agera built for markets without access to E85 gasoline—the fuel the RS needs to make maximum power. Only five were ever built, and this one's for sale. Welcome to  You Must Buy , our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan . The Agera S uses all the same carbon fiber body and chassis pieces as the RS, as well as the same interior. The only difference is, the car's 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is tuned for standard 93-octane fuel rather than E85. Power numbers drop significantly, down to "only" 1040 horsepower and 811 lb.-ft. of torque.  According to Koenigsegg's site , the S is still capable of over 400 km/h (248 mph). This particular car is a right-hand drive model, finished in matte bl...

Last summer, a 2006 Subaru WRX stunt car used in the movie  Baby Driver  appeared on eBay, garnering tons of attention from gearheads and movie fans alike. That car, which was converted to rear-wheel drive and upgraded with a bigger turbo,  ended up selling for over $69,000 . Now, there's another  Baby Driver  WRX stunt car for sale, and this one sounds a whole lot more capable. Welcome to  You Must Buy , our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan . This 2006 Subaru WRX was one of the cars used in the movie's opening bank robbery scene, but unlike the previously-mentioned eBay car, this one retains its factory all-wheel drive. A complete STI drivetrain swap, upgraded differentials, forged pistons, an upgraded Exedy clutch, and a hydraulic handbrake are among the modifications listed. Cosmetically, the car looks incredibly well put-together, especially for a stunt car post-production. ...

VADIM DANIEL COURTESY OF RM AUCTIONS Hartge is a small manufacturer in Germany that specializes in modifying BMWs. Back when  the E30 3-Series  was new, it offered a package with a bunch of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades for North America, but not many people opted in. Now, one of the few Hartge BMWs is for sale, and you should buy it. Welcome to  You Must Buy , our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan . This Hartge H26, a convertible model, was sold new in Canada, according to  the listing on RM Sotheby's . The 215-horsepower Hartge package was installed at a BMW dealership, and consists of more aggressive cams, new headers, a custom exhaust, a Hartge-specific ECU, and of course, the bodykit. Furthermore, an Alpina steering wheel and Alpina wheels have been added. VADIM DANIEL COURTESY OF RM AUCTIONS The most noticeable thing about the H26 is its unique fascia, incorporating ...

In 1958, Ford introduced the Nucleon, a car that was powered by an atomic reactor and got 5,000 miles (8,047 kilometers) per charge of uranium (or whatever radioactive material it used to make itself go). You say you've never seen a Nucleon? That's probably because Ford never actually offered it for sale. It was a non-functioning demo model exhibited at auto shows and still available for viewing at the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. It never really had an atomic-powered engine and probably couldn't have gone around the block, much less 5,000 miles (8,047 kilometers), using uranium as a fuel. In 1975, Toyota demonstrated a hybrid-electric car at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Prius, right? No, it was the Toyota Century Hybrid, a version of the Toyota Century with a hybrid drive train. Toyota never brought it to market, though they showed several more versions at auto shows over the next several years. By the time the Prius came out in 1993, hybrid drive trains were second ...

Disconnect the negative battery cable. By removing the negative battery cable from the battery, you ensure no current is flowing through the system and avoid short-circuiting the electronic component that controls the valve. Disengage and remove any sensors and electrical connections along with any hoses. Loosen the bolts to remove the EGR valve and gasket. Check the hoses and gasket for wear, to replace or reuse. Spray the valve and hoses with carburetor cleaner, using a brush to clean off the carbon buildup out of any hoses and small hole with the pintle. Do NOT spray the electrical connections or sensors with the cleaner. However, you may want to purchase a can of electronics cleaner and di-electric grease if the connectors appear to be corroded. Reinstall the EGR valve using the gasket and bolts...

Since the 1960s, vehicle manufacturers have installed Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves to reduce nitrous oxide (NOX) emissions. The EGR valve recirculates a small amount of exhaust into the combustion cycle. The warmth of the exhaust lets the combustion chambers warm up quickly, while the spent, inert gases keep the chambers from getting too hot when the engine fully warms up. Whether mechanical or electronic, EGR valves open and close to control the gas flow. If left open, the excess vacuum will cause the engine to act like it wants to stall, idling roughly or surging. If the valve stays closed, detonation could occur in the combustion chambers; this knocking or pinging will lower mileage and the lifespan of the engine. To smooth a rough idle, or hesitant or surging acceleration, and reduce knocking, clean your EGR valve. Clean and inspect the vacuum hose. Remove the vacuum hose and inspect closely for wear (cracks or weak spots), then clean out the carbon deposits ...
