Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Monaro - Car Parts Store

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

The car i am about to describe is amazing piece of machinery and this because its a import. I read the review on this car by a great blogger on his blog ‘carblog’ (see bottom of article).This car to us Brits is a vauxhall Monaro, but depending on where you are in the world it could be a Opel Monarco or a Holden Monarco. But one thing remains the same, it is Australian and it is a godly car with amazing car parts, as you will read.

Some people worry that with an import you may not get vauxhall genuine parts, however this is not true. Remember Opel and Holden are vauxhall, they just have different names for different markets, so not matter what it will be a vauxhall genuine parts, should you need to get one fixed.

The outside looks stylish and sleek, however it does not jump out at you, however for me this is a bonus since if it stuck out where i lived it would get stolen, so it works for me. The interior is dark (sexy in my eyes) and the inner trims such as the dashboard don’t have the plastic feel of most cars, it all looks so perfectly finished off.

It would not be in the car parts store if it did not have the boys toys car parts such as leather interior, heated seats, climate control, cruise control, parking sensors, however some extras are put in such as GPRS, a 10 speaker, six disc CD player, adjustable seats, steering columns etc.

the designers obviously thought about the vehicle when building since it has a good sized glove box and compartments and boot is ample for the family including shopping, pram, mother in law etc.

Another great aspect is its performance and power. It supports the v8 vauxhall engine (the v6 was a amazing achievement but the v8 is godly). It specs you can find out anywhere on the net, this model comes with a 5.7 litre version outputting 3431b/foot torque and 329 BHP, however you can tune the vauxhall engine to almost a extra 100 BHP if you know how or have the cash. This powerful vauxhall engine is controlled with a six speed close ration manual car gearbox with traction control on demand.

So that may look impressive but what can it actually do, well it can do according to ‘Goose’ it can do 180MPH and does 0-60 in around 6 seconds. This is allot compared to my 0-60 in 15 seconds in my vauxhall engine in my 1995 corsa.

Which new car does not have alloys these days, and this car comes with alloy wheels and the tyres are good on a day to day basis, however if your gonna flex the cars muscle you may want to upgrade the standard tyres.

the brakes to accommodate this monster of a vauxhall engine are fantastic using 296mm vented brakes for the front and 286mm for the rear

The McPherson struts front suspension and Control Link Independent rear suspension (with gas dampers, anti-roll bars and coils) provide a nice drive even at high speeds.

The Vauxhall Monaro is surprisingly quite, although with a amazing 10 speaker CD kit you don’t need to worry about the road noise.

So to sum up its an amazing car with some amazing car parts, especially the v8 vauxhall engine.

So thanks Goose for your review and for a more in depth review and some amazing pictures see his article on ‘carblog’.

Telsa Roadster - car parts store addition

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

If your worried about the environment and are worried that we are going to run out of petrol before you die then this article is for you. A company called Telsa have been working on a mass produced electric sports car. yes thats right it works off solar power and you have to charge it up in solar stations, however no petrol needed that means clean fuel and why its included in the ‘car parts store’

I read about the telsa on ‘The racing geek‘ blog by a person who has test driven one of these and this post is based on his post.

Firstly the Telsa is based on the lotus Elise chassis and resembles the vauxhall vx200, however the chassis has been modified to enable 100% electrical powered vehicle by inserting a electrical power train. The power train is a revolutionary piece of equipment. Instead of building the technology from scratch they used existing technology and added onto it, for example it is powered by the popular lithium batteries which are in items such as ipods, xbox 360 controllers etc. Obviously the batteries are more powerful and cooling them is a priority but they are rechargeable.

The impressive thing about the vehicle is that it can produce 248bhp and 200 ft/lbs of torque and remember no fuel is needed. This is nt as much as the v6 vauxhall engine (for more information on the v6 vauxhall engine visit the vauxhall site), but as with new technology will only improve and still enables 0-60MPH in 4 seconds. On one charge you can do around 250 miles and also added in there is very little CO2 emissions and no maintenance (only changing the oil every 3 to4 years). Also impressive is the lack of car parts since its all electric. You have your obvious car parts such as tyres, chassis and seats but you don’t have loads of moving parts in the engine and so forth so less car parts means less maintenance overall.

The car only has 2 forward gears in its car gearbox, first will take you to 70 MPH and second will take you up to 130 MPH, and obviously there is a reverse.

The car has been designed by some of the top people in the industry and thus some of the chassis modification don’t just accommodate the power train but also improve on the car such as lowered sides to increase livability. Other improvements over the Lotus Elise include increased performance.

So with all this in mind what are its drawbacks, well firstly the price is a steep 90,000 GBP, so the average Joe can forget it, its a car for the rich. (we can all dream right?). Obviously the lack of recharging stations means if you run out of energy your in trouble, a second car might be needed to do long runs.

For some impressive images see ‘the racing geek‘ blog

Telsa Roadster - car parts store addition

vauxhall vxr8 - car parts store addition

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

This impressive beauty will support the latest v8 6 litre vauxhall engine for a stunning 419 horsepower and a acceleration of 0-60 MPH in just 5 seconds and is why it is in the ‘car parts store’ section. It will be popping up at the Geneva Auto Show later this year.

This impressive vauxhall engine will be controlled by six speed vauxhall gearbox either in manual or automatic
This muscle car has features from the Australian holden commodore and Holden HSV Clubsport R8 giving it umph and style.

It is rumored that the car will support a range of upgrades and modified kits to get extra power from the car parts for those who love to have ultimate control and power in their vauxhall.

Of course the car looks amazing with it being a 4dr coupe, however these additional doors mean extra bucks! can your wallet afford them?

So if the answer is yes the car will be on sale later this year if there are no set backs both online and at dealers across the uk.

Vauxhall corsa possibly the best little run around?

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

One thing which is becoming more common these days, especially in the younger generation, is to buy older cars for run around’s. Although they offer less fuel efficiency and power due to dated technology, there often so much cheaper its not worth worrying about the fuel efficiency.

For example a brand new vauxhall corsa will cost you around 9,000 to 10,000 new, however if you look at a vauxhall corsa on auto trader, a 2003 car with around 40,000 will cost you around 3,000, thus a 6,000 saving and only because its 4 years old.

The vauxhall corsa has always been a award winning car, especially the newer models, but the old ones had just a good a reputation.

The vauxhall corsa is classed as a super mini, which offers plenty of space, with engines from 1 litre upwards (1 to 1.3 being most popular) since it has enough umph to get you places and keeps the insurance down for the under 25 years of age group (me included).

The vauxhall corsa (even the new ones) don’t cost much and thus are not equipped with all the latest gadgets of the time, however they maintain style, get you to places and includes nice essentials such as electric windows, central locking, abs etc.

So for a reliable car to get you around which you wont be laughed at by your mates the vauxhall corsa is a excellent choice. It also has the bonus of having cheap vauxhall car parts, should one brake.

Mazda little gem

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

the mazda 2’s is a new style of car coming out later this year with a bold new design and on several blogs has been classed as a ’super mini’. It has more curves than Jennifer Lopez (in both the chassis and various ar parts) and under the hood the platform is similar to the new ford fiesta.

It differers from previous versions by getting rid of old unwanted car parts such as the high roof look, and in with some new car parts accesories including narrow headlamps, angular tail lights etc.

There is to be a sporty 3 door and a normal 5 door models, but all include the basic car parts such as power steering, electric windows etc, although the sport model will have some extra car parts, no doubt better alloy wheels, chrome trims, and sporty interior. Most of the models are to include extras such as air conditioning, mp3 playback, abs, traction and stability control, front airbags, side curtains etc.

Every model has your standard 5 speed car gearbox but a choice of automatic or manual is to be given

The car should go well with young drivers due to its nice starting price of around 9000, the nice and efficient 1.3 litre car engine. This does not put older people off since the the car engine comes in several litres including 14 and 1.6 TDCI turbo diesel models.

So who ever you are you should check out the new Mazda 2, its stylish, its curvy, its fast and its at a reasonable price (sounds like my ideal woman).

vauxhall car parts or puppets?

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

What is the most famoust vauxhall car parts? ….Everyone has seen the adverts for the vauxhall corsa, the cMon puppets. well these little guys are now officially the most famoust vauxhall car parts.

i just shows advertising really works and that they should have done it with some sort of vauxhall car parts e.g. make puppets out of a vauxhall corsa tyre to increase there sales. Obviously some vauxhall car parts you could not caracterise such as a vauxhall corsa bumper front.

anyway these puppets took off by storm and i believe you can actually purchase them online or get them when you buy a vauxhall corsa.

[for a image of these puppets in action see autoexpress]

The future of cars and car parts as told by HONDA

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Honda know for its catchy phrase ‘power of dreams’ which gives a idea of enthusiastic and passionate people working to create a better future in cars and honda car parts.

Well dreams either die or become a reality and Honda has started churning out reality from its dreams in the form of car concepts shown at the LA auto show in december.

The models shown were the Honda FCX, Honda REMIX and the Honda STEP BUS, with the Honda FCX being named the future of automobiles with its wonderful HONDA car parts and next generation fuel cell technology to boost performance (like car steroids but not illegal).

As concepts you would think these futuristic car parts and cars would go on sale in around 5 to 10 years but the FX is set to ship as early as 2008 (of course not for england but yes for japan and the US)
The HONDA remix is a stylish looking 2 seater sports car for those fans looking for style and claims it will also have good functionality for everyday use. apparently and it will look good with nice expensive HONDA car parts such as twin exhausts and a flash HONDA ENGINE.

The HONDA STEP BUS concept was aimed at younger audience who live aggressively on the road, however for me the name makes it sound more like a hippy van but ironically it is called this because you get the space of a bus within a small car, much like the TOYOTA YARRIS.

Car Parts Requests

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Here at CarSpareFinder we get many car parts requests every day, on a wide variety of cars. Some times we get usual makes of car for example ford escort car parts or nissan micra car parts which you would expect since they are the average joe car. and these average cars tend to request average car parts such as car engine, or car gearbox.

However recently the more unusual cars have been rolling in, for example jaguar car parts, including the nice jaguar xkr car parts (2 door coupe) and the car parts requested were a cream arm rest and a headlamp wiper.

And why not put irregualr cars through, everyday we contact breakers to get them on our system and some are specialists (we have a jaguar specialist who only deals in jaguar car parts).

so the moral of the facts is that no matter what the part, how unlikely it seems that you will get one, try our system, its free and you never know, you may get the car part you always wanted, and for cheap!

lexus IS-F - car parts store addition

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

This lovely car due out 2008, with a expected price tag of £50,000 is worth a mention in the car parts store since its a Lexus and it looks amazing.

As well as being a great looking car it has several great car parts to make it worthy of the car parts store. These legendary car parts include multi link rear suspension, double wishbone front, the 5 liter v8 engine which exhumes 350ft.-lbs torque and over 420 horsepower.

It also breaks the mold with a car gearbox being the worlds first 8 speed gearbox and of course has the option of automatic. And if this was not enough they place up and down gear buttons on the steering wheel so its now more like playing on the playstation than driving.

The breaking system is also awesome because well, whats the point of traveling like a bullet if you cannot stop. the specks include 14.2 inch cross drilled discs powered by 6 piston aluminum capers and high friction brake pads on all wheels.

The car parts may be good looking but the car is stunning and another reason to ass it to the car parts store is the interior. The interior comes with a aluminum trim on most the fittings, leather interior of course.

Audi V12 TDI turbodiesel - car parts store addition

Monday, January 8th, 2007
As if this car was not enough for the unveiling, Seal (the massive singer) was there with his new hit.

The Audi is worth a car parts store mention for several reasons. It does not have the extra special look to it like some of the others, but it does have some impressive car parts (i mean lots).

Firstly the 6L diesel that makes 500 HP and 737 lb-ft (1800- 3000 RPM), achieved by two variable-vane turbochargers. The system does some amazing stuff and can pop out an impressive compression ratio of 16:1 and meets the 2010 EURO-5 standard

The Audi dirves like a heavy sports car due to its 40:60 front:rear balance, and with this you need the best ventilation brakes in town. Right back to power, it can do 0 - 62MPH in just 5.5 seconds, and for a big car, well actually for a small car this is impressive, so for a big car it is greatly impressive. So you see for its car parts its worth a mention.

Yes this is only a concept model and will not be out to the public for a while, however for a more in depth read more picture visit the autoblog article
