When shopping for auto parts online

Untitled Document

A good day could easily be ruined by a discovery that your car's headlights are no longer working. And to make things worse, you're too busy to go to the hardware store because of your work schedule or responsibilities at home.

But then again, what year is it already?!! Reality check - we are already living in a world full of conveniences with just a click of a button. One of the most useful innovations of all time is the internet. And through the internet, we can know almost about anything and the best part is, we can even do shopping.

In the comfort of your own home, you can do your personal online shopping for your auto parts. There's no longer the need to drive all the way to the store with broken headlights, silently pray that you'll get there safe and patiently look for a parking space when you get there. With online shopping, you have hundreds of choices and product descriptions to help you find out what car part is suited for your car. Aside from saving so much time, you also save your self the effort and the pressure of shopping at the store with lots of people waiting in line at the cashier.

Product reviews are also available online so that you'll know which product is the best instead of constantly asking the sales clerk the usual question, “Are you sure this is the right one?” And if still not contented with the reviews, you can even check for further product information.

Another advantage of online shopping is that it is available for 24 hours! No more waiting for the store to open or worrying if the store is already closed. You just sit down, turn on your computer and click the products you want to buy. And they will be delivered right at your doorstep within five days or even less. You can also easily return or cancel a merchandise easily and sometimes, tracking is available so that you'll know order's location before it reaches you.

Of course, online shopping also entails some precautions and responsibilities. First, you must make sure that the online store you are ordering from is a reputable one to avoid internet fraud. In order to do this, you must at least do a background checking first. Second, you need to protect your privacy by buying in secure websites only. Third, always remember to keep a copy of your online transactions for future validation purposes. And fourth, be extremely careful when checking delivery receipts because sometimes, errors can not be avoided.

When shopping for auto parts online, buyers should find some features when choosing your online stores. One is that the online store should be honest in providing product information and availability. It must be fast in the processing of orders. The shipping cost and speed should be reasonable enough and also, it should have a clear return/exchange policy to avoid problems and confusions.

If you think you have already accomplished all of the above, then i guess you're ready to shop for auto parts online. Stop worrying about finding the time to replace your broken headlights, just simply order online and enjoy the rest of your time while waiting.

Honda Civic Type R EK9

In 1997, Civic also received the Type R treatment. Based on the 6th generation Civic's EK9 3-door hatchback body, it was commonly referred to EK9 Type R. Its B16B 1.6-liter DOHC VTEC engine got aggressive tuning including higher compression ratio, lightweight forged pistons, hand polished intake ports and more aggressive VTEC setting. This raised its red line to an astonishing 9000 rpm, maximum power from 170 hp to 185 hp at 8200 rpm. That was some 116 horsepower per liter ! At the time it was the world's most efficient naturally aspirated engine. On the downside, the small engine capacity limited its max torque to 118 lb-ft and it was delivered in a peaky manner. To compensate for the lack of low down torque, Honda fitted a close-ratio gearbox and ordered its chassis to undergo a strict diet. The result was the deletion of air conditioning, power steering, sound deadening and ABS. Besides, the regular seats were replaced by lightweight Recaro buckets, accompanied with serious-looking Momo steering wheel and titanium gear knob. As a result, the Civic Type R weighed only 1040 kilograms. Use its high-revving power smartly, it could accelerate from 0-60 mph in six point something seconds and flat out at near 140 mph.
The chassis of Type R was reinforced by using seam welding and suspension tower brace front and rear. Of course, the double-wishbone suspensions were stiffened a lot to enable flat cornering, while Bridgestone Potenza RE010 tyres provided extra grip. A helical LSD (limited slip differential) was added between the front wheels to ensure no wheelspin during hard cornering. The first generation Civic Type R was a hardcore driver's car, more so than any hot hatches at the time I could think of.
