SUPER SONIC LAND SPEED RE

1,000 MPH

Sponsored by Viking Motorsports

All photos by Tom McCarthy TOM MCCARTHY The newest Super Sonic car, a car designed specifically to go 1,000 MPH, Mach 1.3, is now operational and making test runs in the United Kingdom.

The Bloodhound SSC came alive in the month of October, 2017, and on 26 October, 2017, the car breached 202 and 210 MPH, on consecutive runs before the world media. Present were over 200 journalists from more than 10 countries, around the world who attended to witness the car’s historic initial runs. Bloodhound is no longer a car concept but a fire-breathing beast, alive and well.

Bloodhound Super Sonic Car (SSC) undergoing testing at Newquay Aerohub, in Co excess of 200 MPH for functionality systems checks. The car ran pre

In the coastal town of Newquay, in Cornwall, at near 1:10 PM, GMT, the Newquay Aerohub air traffic was put on hold at the airport, while the Bloodhound car, driven by Andy Green, made two consecutive runs, down the 900 foot runway. The runs were smooth as silk and run without pause. In fact the car ran for exactly 21.5 minutes.

When Andy Green exited the cockpit of the Bloodhound he was facing live BBC television cameras and commented after the run “All the instruments looked good, the car did exactly what I wanted it to do. I even noticed a little bit of flame spring up off of the right front carbon fiber brake rotor during braking, like what you’d see on an F-1 car. This is a proper fast car, the best land speed record car ever made.”

Bloodhound driver Andy Green on the right does a full walk-around check to inspect Bloodhound before every run. His over 37 years of RAF military service serve “Wing Commander Green” very well in his role as the driver of Bloodhound SSC.

- Two thrust driven power sources will propel this car from zero to 1,000 MPH in just under 55 seconds when the full design power is put to work. The upper power source is a Rolls Royce EJ-200 jet engine. The lower rocket motor location will hold a Nammo monopropellant rocket motor designed to bring the car from 350 to 1,000 mph on command.

The Bloodhound SSC has a design speed of 1,000 MPH and will eventually be powered by both a Eurojet EJ200 jet engine and a Nammo rocket motor. When the car begins high speed testing in South

PH

Africa, sometime in 2018, the EJ200 jet engine will be put to work first. This power source alone can bring the car up to 650 MPH. Initial testing will begin with just the EJ200 going to work. Later in testing, the Rolls Royce jet engine is intended to bring the car up to about 350 MPH, then the Nammo Rocket motor will be brought into power.

Now that the car is fully operational, the team is making plans to head off to the Hakskeen Pan in South Africa, sometime in 2018, to begin incremental high speed testing.

The car will need to reach speeds of 200, 400, 600, and 800 MPH to express all the data needed for the design team to give the green light for a 1,000 MPH run.

rohub, in Cornwall achieved speeds in e car ran precisely to intended design.

The actual time frame when all this will unfold will come to light over the course of time. For the moment, all that is certain, is that in 2018, the team hopes to begin testing in South Africa. The car is fully operational yes, but it’s still “a work in progress” and it’s refinement as well as development is ever evolving as technology

Mr. Richard Noble is the driving force behind the entire Bloodhound project. His passion for Land Speed Racing has taken him all around the world and his car, Thrust SSC, across the sound barrier. Now he’s heading for the 1,000 MPH mark.

Richard Noble was eager to work the car display with the middle school children on the Monday exhibition of the Bloodhound car. Over 3500 local school children were in attendance. Richard took the time to answer as many questions as he could, 1 on 1. His greatest hope is that the Bloodhound project will inspire some young mind to embrace and go beyond what he has done.

Richard’s chief aerodynamicist, Ron Ayers, who had great influence with the Thrust SSC project design, is the man who came up with the initial concept for Bloodhound. Mr. Ayers is once again fully on-board with the design team for Bloodhound.

The driver for the Thrust SSC team, Andy Green, is once again Richard Noble’s choice driver for Bloodhound. After all, who else had experience at driving a race car at over 700 MPH? As for going to the next level and pushing on past 760 MPH, as Andy Green points out “Well really no one’s qualified for that, no one’s ever done that before.”

Mr. Ron Ayers is the lead aerodynamicist on this project and he came up the initial concept of the body design. Ron was also the lead aerodynamics designer on Thrust SSC, the first car to go Super Sonic and set the current world record of 763 MPH.

advances.

Currently the British hold the world Land Speed record at 763.035 MPH, set on October 15, 1997, some twenty years ago. The core element of the Bloodhound SSC team is the same core element that developed and ran Thrust SSC, which holds the current world LSR. They’ve gone where no man has gone once before, and they are out to do it again.

Richard Noble, who is a former world LSR holder himself with Thrust 2, which achieved an official record of 633.468 MPH in 1983, is the main man driving this project. Richard then went on to create the Thrust SSC project and pushed on to become the first and only team, to break the sound-barrier, on land.

Yet Andy Green has full confidence in this car and this project. He stated in fact “This is the best Land Speed Record car ever created. I have the best team, the best materials, the best designers and the best minds on this project. Just look at what we’ve already done.

that hopes to inspire a whole new generation of engineers. Bloodhound, together with partners Microsoft and The Learning Partnership are running the UK’s largest STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) initiative program to get young adults interested in something other than their cell phones.

The program entails not only getting children building model rockets, sending live stream data and Bloodhound runs, live into class rooms, around the world. There, teachers put children to work as they can see and hear the car run in real time; then analyze the data at the same time the Bloodhound technicians do.

The hope and intention here is to inspire a whole new generation of engineers, world-wide, that may one day help create a better world. There’s no telling what these children may one day be motivated to discover or create. But first they need to be inspired into action. Bloodhound is impressive enough to do that. If it stays true to task, this will one day be the fastest race car ever devised by mankind.

This car came out and did exactly what we wanted it to do.

It performed proper straight away.”

Without question he’s ready to put the pedal to the metal.

The Bloodhound project is essentially an honest Land Speed Record effort, but it’s evolved into not only an LSR team, but an engineering initiative

This land speed record car has an ominous presence about it. At full-pull, this car is stated to have more power than an entire F-1 starting grid!

In The Eights On Pu

FRANK SOUZA Last year Ethan Souza came to Maximum Performance Engineering with his Nova for tuning his stock bottom end 5.3. After resolving several fuel supply issues and a cam swap Ethan pumped out mid 10’s on pump gas at 14 PSI boost. Over the winter Ethan wanted to see how far he could push the limits of the S475 journal bearing turbo and achieve three goals. Run a 9 second pass, run an 8 second pass, and exceed 150 MPH on pump gas. Always up for a challenge Buddy Souza at Maximum Performance put a plan together to meet the challenge.

the hot and cold side of the system to make things fit. With no room to spare the transmission cooler was relocated to the rear of the car and the new engine was now in place.

The next task at hand was to make the drivetrain handle the new power. The 12 bolt rear axle with

Ethan acquired a 408 LS with Manley forged internals built to specs for copious amounts of boost from ATK. With this foundation Ethan hand ported a set of 317 casting heads and port matched and reworked the Holley high ram intake.

Buddy with guidance from Comp Cams devised a custom grind to work with the heads and the 408 displacement. The larger displacement would require more cooling.

factory axle tube needed to go. Ethan acquired a new rear axle from Strange Engineering to handle the power. At this time Buddy stripped the TH 400 and built the unit with a Hughes trans brake machining necessary components to increase clutch capacity. The unit was rollerized assemble and dyno tested. The driveshaft was

also upgraded to 1350 joints and a larger diameter tube from Strange Engineering. The drive line was now complete and up to the task at hand.

The most overlooked and most important project was next. Ethan replaced the front and rear shocks with QA1 components. The front spring rate was also changed and the Caltracs were adjusted and shock valving preset to a good starting point. With the suspension complete it was now time to set up the trans brake and bump box in the Mega Squirt ECU. Now complete Ethan had the rollcage certified to be compliant with NHRA rules and all safety equipment was checked and inspected. A new set or drag radials were installed making things complete and ready for testing.

The car was now delivered to Maximum Performance Engineering for brake in and tuning. After running the engine under load for 45 min the oil was changed and it was time to see how things would work out. On 8psi and some tuning the Nova pumped out 547 HP and 526 FTLB average on the waste gates. This was a conservative tune to get the suspension dialed in. The next tune up was with 14psi again being conservative running pump gas the 408 easily put down a 668 HP 609 FTLB average. With the tuning complete the tune was set back to 8 PSI for the first sessions at New England Drag way.

14 PSI and a new set of drag radials it was time to see how the Nova would do with 14 PSI boost. Arriving at New England Drag Way with a little anxiety Ethan ran a 8.8 at 152 MPH with 1.363 60ft off the trailer . He was called to tech where he was told to slow it down due to no parachute. Having now met all three goals at this point he decided to make another run to improve the time. The next pass wheels in the air resulted in an 8.7 at 152 MPH with a 1.353 60 foot time. Tech stopped him from making any more runs but it was a good ending of the season with all his goals met with just two passes off the trailer.

Ethan’s 1974 Nova ran these times and is street driven with a single journal bearing six hundred dollar Borg warner S475 turbo. The car weighs 3300 pounds and can be taken to the hardware store or out for ice cream with ease. He drives his Nova regularly witch was one of his requirements to have a car he could cruise around hit some car shows and bring to the track on occasion. This was all done with low boost on pump gas with no Methanol.

Ethan and Buddy Souza of Maximum Performance Engineering got together and developed a pump gas engine package that you can drive on the street daily and hit the track and run 8’s. There is a lot more in this car with race fuel and 20 PSI boost, 7 second passes should be no problem. Stay tuned!!!

www.jimsfirearmrepairandsales.com Supermarket Jay Pjojian’s Immaculate SVT COBRA Ed Yessaian

There’s really no other felling like taking delivery of your first Mustang or Muscle Car, especially when you’re in your early teenage years. The first time you lay eyes on that aggressive stance, the first smell of the leather interior, the first feeling of that rumble that happens after your first turn of the key. Every one of us can recall what seemed like the greatest day of our life when we got behind the wheel of our very own piece of American History. For Jason Pjojian of Cranston RI, that amazing sense of ownership and pride came to reality this past summer when he got his hands on his immaculate 1997 SVT COBRA.

OFFERING CLASSES FOR SHOOTING AND HOME PROTECTION

Superior Quality. Superior Service

BUY SELL TRADE CONSIGN

Jason is the third owner of the car, but both of the first two owners were ridiculously obsessed with keeping it clean, garaged, and well maintained. As of this article the car only has 34,000 miles and doesn’t seem to have a single chip, scratch, or fingerprint anywhere on it. Jason credits the car’s current appearance and brilliant shine to his father Bob Pjojian, who shared many of his detailing secrets. Bob is currently in search of a new 2015 Mustang GT Convertible, which will be his fourth Mustang. So we know that Jason has a great role model to follow.

From the outside, the car appears to be mostly stock, with visual enhancements coming from only a handful of tasteful modifications. A Saleen S281 spoiler replaces the factory pedestal spoiler and 18 inch Steeda Pentar wheels shine brilliantly at each corner.

Etch sees one of the police officers get up from his side of the window booth and start to walk towards the back of the diner where he is sitting. “Oh great,” Etch mumbles under his breath. The police officer walks right up to where Etch is sitting and stops in front of his table. “Excuse me,” said, the police officer, “Would you mind handing me that newspaper behind you on that empty chair?”

Etch turns around and reaches for the newspaper. “This one?” asks, Etch. “No, the newspaper next to that one,” replied, the police officer. Etch hands the police officer the newspaper and puts his head back down facing the automotive magazine article. The police officer begins to walk back to his table holding his newspaper in one hand and puts his other hand in his police revolver holster clip releasing the latch securing his gun. The police officer suddenly turns around dropping the newspaper and points his revolver at an empty chair. Etch has already exited the diner through the back door. The police officer

is joined by his partner as they run to the back door of the diner. They both attempt to exit the rear of the diner but are stopped suddenly by a door that won’t open.

They both put their shoulders into pushes attempting to bust down the door but all they do is hurt their shoulders trying to open a secured door from the outside. Etch placed a fifty five gallon barrel of oil up against the back door he found leaning against a fence post outside the diner. The police stop trying to push the door open when they hear loud exhaust coming from the parking lot. “He’s getting away!” yells, one of the police officers. They both scramble to the front of the diner knocking over tables and chairs in an attempt to exit the establishment and run to their police vehicles. They both enter their respective cop cars and are immediately have trouble trying to insert their keys in the ignitions. The police officers are yelling at each other that they cannot start their vehicles. The GTO screams back into view aimed directly into the parking lot

Rhode Island’s Only

Las Vegas Style Cabaret

where the two police vehicles sit stranded and inoperable.

Etch laughs and tosses them both a stick of gum. He turns the steering wheel hard to the right and mats the gas pedal sending OUTLAW into a doughnut nightmare for anyone else that could not handle the beast within. The GTO launches down the back road leaving only a large cloud of smoke from burnt up rear tires and two confused police officers. They swipe away the smoke while making their way to the spots in the parking lot Etch tossed those two pieces of gum. “What the hell?” The officers run back to their police cars to find bubble gum stuffed into their ignitions and shake their heads in disgust. OUTLAW can be heard miles away leaving them far behind.

Outlaw 10.50 group is, by far, the greatest group of drag racers I have ever seen and no matter what, everyone is there to help each other out. Over the years I’ve gotten to know probably over 100 different people and the class will hopefully continue to grow even further in the coming years.

This year’s Outlaw 10.50 season consisted of 9 races, with a couple of the class Championships being decided on the very last race of the season. The hard work and dedication it takes to attend all nine races and keep your car running in top form could easily be classified as a full time job. But of course, racing is our life, our love, and our passion and at the end of the 2017 season, five individuals stood proudly as the top in their class.

12.50 True Street- With five wins in nine races, Steve George easily clinched the Championship in True Street. Local favorite Jeremy Young followed closely behind him and could quite possibly

Five Best Index racers of 2017

as his grand finale. Tied for Runner up in Fast Street was Rice’s buddy John Cove who also has a good shot at capturing the 2018 Championship, as well as Ron Pomerleau who could just as easily capturing the title.

be the top dog in 2018.

11.50 Real Street- The Championship in Real Street went right until the final round of the final race, with two of the greatest guys in the league battling it out. Eventually it would be Dan Caissie edging out Ralph Blackburn with only ten points separating the two.

10.50 Fast Street- With four victories in nine races, Chris Rice was deadly at the tree and did not let up, winning even the very last race of the season

9.50 Super Street- Dave Rossini once again took another Championship in Super Street with both Scott Erickson and Rob Ingles close behind. Hopefully next season this class will get a decent car count because let’s face it, a 9.50 elapsed time is a pretty sick accomplishment!!

8.50 Wild Street- This was a battle between the 2015 Champion Jim Dayotas and 2016 Champion Jon Sandahl. Dayotas walked in and immediately took the extra points for top

qualifier and carried his sniper talents all the way to the final to not only win the final race but the 2017 Championship.

SCOTT DARNALL’S 197 ROB MAY Photos by Scott Darnall Scott A. Darnall from Gretna, Louisiana owns this 1976 Mercury Cougar XR7. Having lived in Louisiana most of his life, Scott is married to wife Shaun (for 25 years). They have one son Colton, who is currently enrolled in college at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. His wife and son share their love of these fine cats. The 1974-1976 Cougar years are called the fourth generation models.

Scott has always been a fan of the big mid 1970’s Mercury Cougars. Missing out on winning a previous Cougar, this one was not going to escape him. This car, only had 58,000 original miles, needed nothing due to its condition. Nobody else would likely have one at local cruises and shows.

Sitting behind the wheel with a long hood and cruising on the highway is a real joy

According to the Marti report its one of 3,442 Light Gold Paint codes and one of 773 paint/ trim codes. It’s an all gold vehicle with Light Gold Paint exterior, Gold vinyl roof, and Gold interior.

Remaining completely stock, this cat is equipped with the 351 Windsor 2bbl engine, a C-4 automatic transmission, a conventional 2.75 rear axle, and it has 63,000 miles on it.

The more this vehicle is out, the more Scott finds out how people really do like and miss seeing this generation of the Mercury Cougar. It defines the mid 1970’s for so many people. Farrah Fawcett did a lot of advertising for Mercury Cougar. David Pearson raced a Cougar for Wood Brothers in NASCAR.

Ocean State Thanksgiving Traditions JIM WEICHERDING I can’t really say exactly what draws so many people to the Ocean State every year for Traditional Thanksgiving meals while spending time with family and friends but I can say exactly what I think might be the reason: It’s New England. That pretty much says it all in just three words.

Besides, where can you see a Classic GTO, Chevelle, Mustang, Hemi or Trucks cruising down leaf covered back country roads and highways heading to a family members home for a Thanksgiving Meal that is more appealing than Rhode Island and New England States every November? You can’t. Only happens here in this region.

New England is absolutely beautiful during the fall season. Surrounded by bright colors, the ocean is less than an hour away from the furthest distance in the state of Rhode Island and families seem to really love the home good atmosphere of the holiday season in the smallest state in the USA. For a small state, there are a lot of Big Things! happening everywhere every fall and early winter seasons that enhances the Ocean State appeal. Art Shows, Classic Auto Museums, Gift Shops, Live Art Performances, Pumpkin Festivals, Farmers Markets, Hayrides, Excellent Restaurants, Holiday Parades and Community Events just to name a handful of reasons why Rhode Island is a popular holiday get-away for family and friends. Family members and friends who live in other parts of the country flock back to the Ocean State annually to spend Thanksgiving with their family and friends a lot more than the other way around.

I don’t want to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in Florida, Texas or California and I’m sure a lot of you reading this article feel the same way. Where’s the atmosphere? Where’s the season of change?

Where did you spend most of your lives? Yes, right here in Rhode Island and so did your family members and offspring growing up. Thanksgiving Traditions are hard to erase and even harder to let go of for most of us New Englanders.

By ROB BOYAVAL It all started a few years ago when a buddy of mine asked me to donate $100 for a raffle ticket that would help raise money for The Wounded Warriors Project. Having a history of military service in my family, I coughed up the money and was told someone donated an old convertible car which was to be raffled off and given to the winner. It turned out to be a

1969 Pontiac Bonneville that would soon be mine thanks to a $100 raffle ticket.

Having never owned an old car or a convertible before, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was in for. I had driven by Conti’s Auto Service & Motorsports in Cranston numerous times throughout the summer seeing all the overhead doors open, which revealed a revolving line up of classic cars, so I knew where to take my newly owned Bonneville for service. John Conti and his team made sure the car was safe for me to be driving my wife and daughter around with the top down all summer. David Moretti at Centry Auto Body, also located in Cranston, did major body work to get the car straight as an arrow and painted it black.

This past summer, my family and I put the

Continued from page 33 top down and loaded the Bonneville with fishing rods, surf boards, beach towels and headed to Block Island.

I thought I’d have the oldest car on the Block Island ferry, but I was surprised to see a man with his Model A onboard. We had loads of fun driving around the Island with the convertible top down. My daughter had the most fun waving to everyone like she was on a parade float.

It’s been a crash course in learning about old cars, engines and how they operate. This winter, I’m looking forward to working with the team at Conti’s Auto Service in rebuilding the 428 engine. I want my Bonneville to be reliable for years to come and I’m hoping to add some horsepower while we’re at it!

The Bigger the Cat the Better

ROB MAY While 1967 to 1970 Mercury Cougars tend to get the most attention, the 3rd Generation “big cats” (1971-1973) are growing in appreciation. For the last three years, Terry Dority from Saco, ME has owned her 1973 Mercury Cougar. Terry, a transit bus driver for the City of South Portland, is also an accomplished photographer and submitted these great photos. Cars from the Sixties and early Seventies are her favorites.

With around 68,000 miles, this cat has low mileage, some of that due to the car sitting for years. Kyle Keller, a co-worker, assisted with replacing belts, hoses, gas filters, bulbs, new coil, plugs and wires, new wiper motor, and headlight switch. Dave Dow and his guys over at Sullivan Tire in Westbrook did all the suspension work.

A former owner changed the color of the body and the vinyl roof.

Originally, the cat was painted in Ivy Glamour Metallic with a white vinyl top. The factory installed White Leather Bucket Seats with Black components remain. The drivetrain is the standard 351C 2V, FMX auto trans, and 2.75 conventional rear axle.

Her favorite part of the car is the European styled flying buttress rear end. She relishes sitting in the driver’s seat looking out over the big hood. Terry enjoys the sound of the 351C and always feels great after getting behind the wheel.

The car hugs the roads well, and this Mercury is a comfortable cruiser. The Cougar gets a lot of thumbs up. This 3rd generation cat is not a car you see very often. Terry has a prime example.

Give Mom A Break for Thanksgiving!

JIM WEICHERDING Traditionally, Thanksgiving Day is filled with home cooked meals made from scratch, started at five in the morning by mom, when everyone else is still sound asleep wrapped up under their warm blankets in their cozy beds. If family and friends are staying for the holiday they too are bundled up on couches, love seats, recliners, spare beds and sometimes even the living room floor while mom starts to slave in the kitchen preparing her Thanksgiving meal.

family members waiting patiently to be fed on Thanksgiving morning. The turkey is in the oven.

The other side dishes have to me moved aside so mom can prepare breakfast for everyone sitting at the table when the adult family members walk through the kitchen entry way and ask, “Where’s breakfast?” Mom downs her cold cup of coffee and throws away her now crystallized pieces of toast and tells everyone to sit down so she can prepare breakfast for the family. Mom starts to fight back the tears as she scrambles an entire package of farm fresh

Coffee is cold by the time she gets to taking a sip of it. Slices of bread are still sitting in the toaster slots waiting for that index finger lever push down to turn bread into toast that most of the time just sits there getting all hard and indigestible no matter how much butter you spread on it to bring it back to life.

Mom is exhausted, coffee is cold, toast is sitting all dried out still in the toaster slots waiting for butter, when the youngest of the family barges into the kitchen looking for breakfast on a silver platter. Mom tosses her hands in the air and rushes to put together a hot bowl of oatmeal and a glass of orange juice for the youngest of the bunch when the two middle teenagers rush into the kitchen asking where breakfast is and is there any toast left for them and asking where the peanut butter and jam containers are even though they have been putting them both on their toast for the past ten years and their respective locations in the kitchen has never changed in that time... Ever!

Mom puts everyone at the kitchen table when the oldest teens walk into the kitchen rubbing their eyes from sleeping soundly all night and ask where the peanut butter and jam containers are so they can have it on their toast while mom’s toast is still sitting in the toaster turning into rock hard and unrecognized as a food group anymore. Mom tells the eldest teens to take a seat at the table and she will get them their breakfast along with the other hungry

eggs in the mixing bowl with one hand and starts pouring orange juice into glasses with her other hand. She grabs sausages and bacon from inside the refrigerator and tosses them into frying pans wishing that she was an octopus so she could do everything all at the same time and she hasn’t even started making the second pot of coffee yet for her family.

Mom isn’t nearly done with breakfast yet when the doorbell rings and it’s more family members showing up for her famous Thanksgiving dinner. “Hey, that smells good. Can we have some breakfast too?” Asks, the new family member arrivals.

I’ll end this article the best way I know how: Take mom out to the many excellent restaurant choices this region has to offer for a Thanksgiving Dinner and give MOM a break!

Ford Mustang, Saleen Speedster is the November READERS RIDE feature article in Motorhead Magazine.

This badass Ford comes equipped with a supercharged Vortech V1 engine a 5Speed transmission and a nitrous package. The tires are mounted on 18 inch Saleen rims. The hood is a Saleen heat extractor design. The interior is factory recaro Saleen and extremely appealing to the eyes.

This Mustang stops on a dime and makes change thanks to the Brembo brake assembly and stays in complete control due to the Racecraft suspension under the flawless body.

The 1996 Saleen features a custom blue paint job and an S351 Saleen wing.

The rumble you hear is produced by the Flowmaster exhaust system.

This Saleen also has an aluminum rear cover that lead out the back with up front with stainless steel headers making a complete exhaust package that most would envy.

What’s On Your Shelf?

What You Should and Shouldn’t Be1935Tossing This• Warwick, Winter Elmwood Avenue RI 02888 • 401-381-1350 Insuring All Aspects of the Automotive Industry

Lauryn “Hotwheels” Pontiac-Vernancio

The most challenging task that we are trying to put off this winter is ultimately cleaning out the garage.

There are a ton of items to go through, from left over assorted tools, to containers of grease, to half empty bottles of fluids that are bringing us a sense of unnecessary clutter. What even the most vigilant person hasn’t considered is the actual probability of their products being “expired” or well past use.

When perusing through your stash of goods on top off your toolbox and shelves, you might want to keep one basic question in mind.

“How long have I had this?” One of the most prominent contaminants that will unfold right before your eyes which can be a dreadful harm to your vehicle is hydroscopic fluids. What does hydroscopic mean? Hydroscopic describes something that will readily take up and retain moisture.

A common hydroscopic fluid that would cause quite a conundrum is brake fluid.

When brake fluid absorbs moisture, the boiling point of the fluid becomes lower and will cause the fluid to compress less. Moisture within your braking system will give the fluid the ability to limit your braking power, and in turn rust out your brake lines and all necessary hardware and components. Being a New Englander during the winter months will accelerate your fluid’s water-sucking habits and this is why it is discourage to keep larger containers on your garage shelf. If possible, buy the Serving Commercial Clients in RI, CT and MA smallest bottles at your local Auto Parts retailer.

12 VOLT NEWS Speaker Boxes

GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. A Custom Car Stereo Center

A car audio speaker box holds one or more fullrange car speakers in an enclosure. They’re useful in situations where you’d like to add more speakers to a car audio system but don’t have room in the car’s dedicated speaker locations, or you want to have a portable way of extending your car audio system’s sound outside the car for picnics or tailgating. With some basic woodworking tools, materials and skill you can build a strong and serviceable car audio speaker box.

The first step is determining how much air space the speaker is designed for. Most audio speakers, especially sub woofers, come with a data sheet that tells you how much air space needs to be inside the box for best performance. This number usually reflects what is needed for a sealed enclosure to get “flat” performance. “Flat” means more or less equal performance across the range that the speaker is capable of reproducing. Ported boxes, and band pass boxes produce a stronger reproduction of a certain frequency range or “peak” and get much more complicated to build.

Next, draw your enclosure out. If it is going into a car you have to take into consideration where the box will be located, and how much room you have to work with there. To determine what dimensions your enclosure should be take the manufacturer’s recommended air space, and build your enclosure to have this much space inside it. Sounds simple huh? Well to really do it right you need to take into account the air space the speaker itself takes up. This is usually in the spec. sheet.

If it isn’t, a fairly accurate estimate is: an 8” woofer takes up .03 cu. ft., 10”-.05 cu. ft., 12”-.07 cu. ft., and a 12”-.10 cu. ft. Remember to add this to the size of your enclosure.

box is 1728 cu. inches because 12x12x12=1728.

So you can divide the manufacturer’s recommended air space by 1728, to get the length of one side of your enclosure in inches if it were perfectly square. This can be useful when deciding the dimensions of your enclosure. If you only have 6” of vertical space, and need a 1 cu. ft. box it can be 6”x24”x12”. You will have to use some geometry skills with complex shapes. The closer to the exact air space you build the box the better it will sound. This is why you want to draw it out first, and redraw it several times if necessary to have a shape that fits the place it will be mounted, and has proper air space. Remember if you are mounting two speakers in one box the air space has to be double, and a center divider will make it sound better.

Next build the box using your drawing as a pattern. You can even use cardboard, and assemble a mockup of the box if it needs to be very odd in shape, and use the cardboard as an exact pattern. Use coarse deck screws about 1 1/2” long. Pre-drill the holes with a 1/8” drill bit so the plywood doesn’t split. If your speaker didn’t come with a template for cutting the mounting hole, use a string, and pencil to make a perfectly round hole for the speaker(s). Screw a deck screw in about halfway in the exact middle of where you want to mount the speaker, and measure the exact radius of the speaker mounting lip. It isn’t exactly the nominal size of the speaker. I.E. it isn’t always 5” for a 10” speaker. Measure the lip exactly from side to side. Remember to either buy wire lugs to mount the wires through the box or at least drill a small hole, and run your wires through it, and seal it. I recommend buying lugs from an

electronics dealer. They look nice, work well, and make sure your cuts on the plywood are precise, and square or your box won’t look very attractive.

Remember to take the blade curf into account.

The curf is the amount of wood the blade removes when it is cutting. It is usually 1/8”.

If the speaker didn’t come with a gasket, use multi-purpose weather strip from a hardware store. Glue the weather strip very close to the outer edge of the speaker hole. Most weather strip is self-adhesive, if not buy 3M trim adhesive or something similar. Seal the box from the inside with silicone sealant. Seal the wire lugs where they come through also. When you mount the speaker I recommend using “T” nuts from the hardware store. They hold much better, and make it easier to remove the speaker, and put it back again while you’re building your enclosure. Just drill a hole of the size recommended in the instructions with the “T” nuts (usually 1/4” or 3/8”), and tap the nuts into place in the hole with a hammer. Now cover the box with some nice carpet, or rhino line the outside. Be creative, and make it look good. If you do not want to tackle making a speaker box yourself, I have made plenty of speaker boxes and enclosures, stop by A Custom Car Stereo and we can discuss your options for a simple box or a Custom Box.

If your box is going into a car, and has to be an odd shape you need to separate each section into a shape you can easily find the volume for, and add the results together. For a triangle form an imaginary outside square to find the volume, and roughly divide by half. The more irregular the triangle the less accurate this is. Remember volume is in cubic units of measure, HxWxD, a 1 cu. ft.

Lease buyouts smart for some

Leasing has been compared to renting a car for a specific period of time. A person is allowed to use the vehicle, but must return it after a few

years in very good condition. Lease payments may be considerably lower than financing rates, and some people may be able to lease a particular make or model that would be out of reach otherwise.

According to the latest Lease Market Report from Edmunds.com, more new vehicles were leased during the first half of 2016 than during any other such period in history. Lease volume has doubled in the last five years, with millennials and seniors leasing more vehicles than any other demographics.

At the end of a lease, people have the option of turning it in and starting a new lease or buying out the lease. Lease buyouts might be the right fit for some drivers.

TYPES OF BUYOUTS The Department of Motor Vehicles says there are two buyout options. These include a lease-end buyout and an early buyout.

With a lease-end buyout, the lessee pays the residual value of the vehicle at the end of the lease contract. It is the most common of the options.

Drivers can look at their lease agreements to see what the residual amount was calculated to be.

Then they can use an automotive price comparison tool, like those offered by Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds, to see if the amount is comparable to the private-party selling price, or the true market value of that vehicle. If the amount is less or very near to the value listed, it could be worth it to engage in a lease-end buyout.

The other buyout option is an early lease buyout. This gives lessees the option to purchase the leased car or truck before the end of the contract. Calculating if the value of the vehicle makes such a buyout financially feasible can be more challenging because one still has to factor in depreciation, the amount of money still owed on the lease and what the current market value of the vehicle would be.

REASONS FOR BUYOUTS There are many reasons to choose a lease-end or early buyout. If the vehicle is in poor shape or if drivers have exceeded the mileage limits on the lease, thereby incurring penalties, it may be smarter to buy out the lease.

Others may have maintained their leased vehicles and liked the cars so much so that they want to keep on driving them.
