WHEELCHAIR SPOILER SOLAR TAILFINS WITH OPTIONAL TAIL LIGHT MOUNT

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6698928 Files for download

So, ever since I got my new wheelchair, it had this annoying habit that no matter how tight made the bolt to hold the headrest up, the first time someone would lean upon it, the headrest would go down. As my neck muscles are exceptionally weak due to a neuromuscular disease, this can be very dangerous as it makes it difficult to sit back up.

My new wheelchair also did not include tail lights, and since that extra feature, albeit important for safety is not considered a medical necessity, cost several hundred bucks. Instead, I opted for far cheaper bicycle lights. Unfortunately, the tail lights have a habit of needing to be charged every day if left them on.

Not satisfied with a simple fix, I spent three weeks of computer design, one burnt finger, multiple curse words, misprinted parts, and loss of my sanity to build solar powered tail fins that charge my tail lights and light up a plate with the words 'DarkRubyMoon.com' (Advertising my art and stuff website ) so long as are in direct sun.

Not everything fit together perfectly…the screws intended to hold the wings on…while perfectly positioned …still required some glue as I forgot that the bracket to mount the fins blocked access to some of the screws. I also updated the fins enlarging the access slot for the solar panels which I had to cut using a hot knife. It also turns out that I occupy a world with many klutzes as the fins were on my chair no less than 20 minutes before two people bumped into them breaking a bracket for which I am currently printing a stronger version as well as a set of less fancy smaller spoiler without solar panels to attach when around aforementioned klutzes. My first attempt to replicate the slot connection for the tail light connection was off by less than a millimeter. Rather than reprinting the part, I simply made an adapter to connect in that slot and attach to the tail light. You may opt to correct this error rather than printing extra parts. Also, the first 'licence plate' backing failed to print the connection bracket and the cover originally failed to print correctly. Rather then reprinting the entire thing, I printed another cover with mounting bracket attached. Both versions are included along but you only need to print one.

The bracket that helps support the headrest uses a higher print density and the bars of the wheelchairs headrest bracket are sandwiched in-between. Bolts through the C bracket above and below each bar of the headrest help support the headrest from moving.

For Tail lights and solar fins, will need…

When it comes to the best gaming set up, everyone has their own opinions and preferences. Some like gaming on a triple monitor set up, while others prefer a single, high refresh rate screen. I say a 34″ ultra-wide is the best of both worlds. So, when we were asked to take a look at the AOC CU34G2X 34″ ultra-wide, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. The CU34G2X from AOC is a 34″ ultra-wide with a 21:9 aspect ratio. With a refresh rate of 144 Hz, a 1 MS response time, and a beautiful 3440 x 1440 resolution, the CU34G2X is designed with gaming in mind. However, there are several other benefits to having an ultra-wide monitor that goes beyond just gaming.  So, we put the CU34G2X to the test to see the benefits out way the cost of on paper, what looks to be a great option for anyone looking for an ultra-wide monitor. But specs aside, how does the CU34G2X perform, let’s find out.

  We would like to thank AOC for providing us a sample of the CU34G2X to check out!

A Closer Look at the AOC CU34G2X

Being an ultra-wide, the CU34G2X takes up a fair amount of desk space measuring 903 mm x 548 mm x 280 mm. However it also gives you a fair amount of screen space without having to deal with annoying bezels like on multi-screen set-ups. The CU34G2X is also a curved monitor. We all know the benefits of a curved screen. A curved screen offers wider viewing angles. The shape also gives you the illusion of panoramic viewing. But overall, a curved ultra-wide screen offers an all-around more immersive experience than even a flat ultra-wide can.

  The CU34G2X from AOC is a 34″ ultra-wide with an aspect ratio of 21:9, a resolution of 3440 x 1440, a 1 ms response time, and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The CU32G2X has a vertical alignment or VA panel that is back-lit by white light-emitting diodes, or WLEDs. The VA panel on the CU32G2X has a dynamic contrast ratio of 80M:1. The CU32G2X has a viewing angle of 178/178° and sports 16.7 million colors. The stand on the CU34G2X does both swivel and tilt. The swivel range is between -30°±2°~+30±2° and the tilt range is between -5±2°~+23±2°.

In addition to both tilt and swivel, the height of the CU34G2X can also be adjusted. At its highest point, the bottom edge of the CU34G2X sits 6.25″ or 158.75 mm from the top of the desk. At its lowest point, the bottom edge of the monitor sits only 1.25″ or 31.75 mm from the top of the desk.

The CU34G2X has the standard 100 mm x 100 mm VESA mount. It even comes equipped with VESA mount screws already attached to the back of the monitor. The included stand does not require screws to install. It simply slides into place at the top of the VESA mount cutout and clicks into place at the bottom. There is a release switch on the mounting plate on the stand. Pushing this switch up releases the stand from the monitor.

The Stand for the CU34G2X is made prominently out of plastic, aside from the part that attaches to the actual monitor. But more on that later.  As we mentioned earlier, the stand on the CU34G2X both swivels, as well as raises and lowers. Also, there is a cutout in the actual stand made for cable management. This is a small but welcomed feature. Especially when you have as many cables running through your office as I do.

#gallery-0-37 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-37 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-37 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-37 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

On the back panel, there are four USB 3.2 (Gen 1) ports and one USB B port. Using a USB A to B cable, you can power the other USB ports on your monitor. The Yellow USB 3.2 (Gen 1) port is an always-on port.  So, as long as the USB A to B cable is connected to your PC, even when the PC is off, this port will have power. I keep my phone charger plugged into the always-on port so I can always charge my phone.  For video, there are two HDMI 2.0 ports and two Display Port 1.4 ports. Last, there is a single 3.5 mm audio out port for headphones, speakers, or a soundbar.

The CU34G2X has an internal power supply. This means, no external power brick. When on, the CU34G2X consumers about 37 watts per hour. When on stand by, the CU34G2X uses less than 0.5 watts per hour. The CU34G2X uses a standard computer power cord (NEMA 5-15P to IEC 320 C13). The port for the power cable is located left of the monitor when looking at it from the front. Just below the port for the power cord is a Kensington Security Slot for a Kensington Lock. For those who may not know what a Kensington Lock is, more on that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Security_Slot

AOC describes the CU34G2X as having a frame-less bezel. Unlike traditional monitors that have a bezel around the screen, the panel on the CU34G2X goes directly to the edge. So, if you were to pair two or more of these monitors together, there wouldn’t be a large gap between monitors. But, there is only so much to say about the outside of a monitor. So, let’s get into the initial assembly.

Assembly

This section will consist of assembling the actual monitor. The assembly of the CU34G2X is rather straight forward. The base has four feet. Two small feet on the back and two large feet on the front. In the center of the base, there are two metal nipples, for lack of a better word. In the center, you can see the tip of a bolt that will attach the stand to the arm.

#gallery-0-39 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-39 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-39 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-39 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The center of the base has a red ring around the part that swivels. There is a cutout in the middle of this red ring for the stand arm to sit in, as well as slots for the stand base to sit in on the arm. There is a screw with a wing nut on the bottom of the base of the stand. This screw tightens down to secure the arm to the base.

#gallery-0-40 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-40 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-40 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-40 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

As we mentioned earlier, the CU34G2X has a standard 100 x 100 VESA mount. The Stand is made up of mostly plastic. However, there is a metal VESA mounting plate on the arm. This is the part that attaches to the actual monitor. there are two metal clips at the top of the plate, and two plastic clips at the bottom. The plastic clips are what snaps the monitor on to the stand. On the back of the mounting plate, there is a release switch for the monitor stand.

#gallery-0-41 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-41 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-41 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-41 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Now that our CU34G2X is assembled, its time to get into the OSD, or on-screen display.

On-Screen Display

I’ll admit, I never, ever go into the OSD, or on-screen display for any monitor I buy. I generally find them annoying and tedious to use. I am still holding out hope that someone will put out a monitor with a remote. That being said, the OSD for the CU34G2X from AOC wasn’t difficult to navigate at all. My one complaint on the OSD is I have a hard time seeing the icons on the bezel. But, that is due to my poor eyesight.  However, my camera can see them. So, going from right to left, there is first a light that indicates power. If the monitor is on, the light will be in. Next, there is a power button. For the actual OSD controls, there is the Menu button, that brings up the OSD, the scroll right and scroll left buttons, and the Go Back, or return button.

#gallery-0-42 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-42 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-42 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-42 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Before we get into the OSD, there are a couple of quick menus that can be brought up with the touch of a button. Pressing the “Go Back” button for the OSD will bring up the input selection menu. Pressing the left arrow button will bring up gaming mode. Pressing it again when the Game Mode box is on the screen, it will allow you to scroll through the different game modes. Pressing the right arrow will put a crosshair on the center of the screen. Now, on to the menu.

When using the OSD for the CU34G2X, the fist section the menu will open to is Luminance. In this section, you can adjust settings such as contrast, brightness, and Gamma. Here is where you can also enable modes such as ECO Mode, DCR, and HDR mode.

The next section on the OSD is the Color Set-Up section. Here, you can set the color temperature. You can also enable DCR, or Dynamic Contrast Ratio mode, as well as enable the DCR demo. Enabling the DCR demo will initiate a split-screen mode. One side with DCR enabled and the other with it disabled. This is more meant for when the monitor is on display at say a retailer like Best Buy or Microcenter. Also in color setup, you and adjust the RGB levels. By this I mean the red, green, and blue levels on the display. Not RGB lighting, The RGB levels can only be adjusted when the color temp is in User Mode.

The picture boost section has an option called Bright Frame. This allows you to create a picture frame of sorts in any position on the monitor, at any size. Inside the picture frame you create, you can control the brightness and contrast of that section of the screen, separately from the rest of the screen.

The OSD settings allow you to adjust the settings of the On-Screen Display. you can adjust everything from position to transparency. You can also switch between several different languages including English, French, and Spanish just to name a few. a full list is in the Specifications section of this review. There is also an option to adjust the volume of the audio output, as well as the timeout of the OSD. I wish I had played with that one before trying to take pictures of the OSD.

The PIP, or Picture in Picture menu allows you to set up just that, the picture in picture feature. It allows you to select from the four inputs, what one you want as the main display, and what one you want as the secondary display. You can select from three different sizes, small, medium, and large. You can enable or disable the audio as well and select the position you want the secondary display.

#gallery-0-43 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-43 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-43 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-43 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The Gaming section is where you can customize your CU34G2X for gaming. Here you can enable game mode. Game mode will lower your response time, but usually at the cost of image quality. But not that much. The gaming settings also have shadow control, game color, and MBR, or Motion Blur Reduction sliders. You can also enable Adaptive Sync, Pixel Overdrive, and LowBlue modes in the Gaming section. But, my favorite feature in the Gaming Settings has to be the FPS counter that can be enabled.

The final section of the OSD is the Extras section. here you can select the different inputs, reset all settings, and set an off timer. Now, let’s get into my personal experience with the CU34G2X from AOC.

Testing a monitor is unlike testing say a graphics card. It isn’t much different I’d do from my day to day uses as most of the experience is very subjective. However, there is a process for everything. So, the first step once the monitor was set up and ready was to calibrate the screen using the Spider5 calibration tool and the Spider5 Express software as that’s what came with the actual tool. Once Spider 5 Express was installed, we placed the sensor on the screen, and it took about 4 or 5 minutes to calibrate as the screen changed to several different colors.

#gallery-0-44 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-44 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-44 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-44 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Once the CU34G2X from AOC was calibrated, it was time to get to the real-world testing. Now, I’ve been using the CU34G2X for about a month and a half. I previously had a 34″ ultra-wide that I sent an umbrella stand through. When it came time to replace it, I ended up with a 32″ 144 Hz screen in its place. I have felt empty ever since. Until the CU34G2X hit my desk. Now, for gaming, an ultra-wide is a great option. However, the benefits of an ultra-wide go far beyond just gaming. Originally, I had a 3 27″ 1080p monitors and I used to game in surround. When I first started writing reviews, I opted for an ultra-wide simply so I could include 3440 x 1440 resolution in my gaming results.  Then, I started getting into editing in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. No, it wasn’t Photoshop that made me fall in love with this monitor as I have a 10-Bit 4k monitor for editing pictures and the CU34G2X is only an 8-bit panel. It wasn’t even gaming, but Premiere Pro. I forgot how great it is to have all that extra screen space dedicated to my timeline.

With a 1 ms response time and 144 Hz refresh rate, the CU34G2X was designed with gaming in mind. and it does an excellent job in-game. The 144 Hz refresh rate gives you buttery-smooth game play. But, depending on the game, there are random dips here and there. So, I enabled adaptive sync as well as the on-screen frame counter. Adaptive sync dynamically adjusts the refresh rate to match the refresh rate of the GPU. The CU34G23X is the first monitor I’ve ever tested that has adaptive sync. I have Freesync monitor sure, but I’ve never had a GPU that supports FreeSync. So, I had never really used adaptive sync before, until testing the CU34G2X.  I was so impressed with how well adaptive sync works. It kept even RDR2 running at 144 Hz and it looked amazing. We decided to add in some gaming benchmarks for the RTX 2080 Waterforce in amazing 3440 x 1440 resolution, at 144 Hz and adaptive sync off.

All games were tested at their highest preset. in 3440 x 1440 resolution. The system we used consisted of an i7-9700k, AORUS RTX 2080 Waterforce, and 16 GB of AORUS RGB memory running at 3600 MHz. The two best performing games were Strange Brigade in Vulcan and Wolfenstein Young Blood. Strange Brigade in Vulcan averaged 104 frames per second on the RTX 2080 Waterforce in 3440 x 1440 resolution. Wolfenstein Young Blood was second with an average of 102 frames per second. Strange Brigade in DX12 was next with an average of 88 frames per second. Far Cry New Dawn and Far Cry 5 were both close in averages. Far Cry New Dawn averaged 76 frames per second and Far Cry 5 averaged 74. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was next on our list with an average of 57 frames per second followed by Deus Ex with an average of 51 frames per second. Red Dead Redemption 2 in Vulcan averaged 49 frames per second. In DX12, Red Dead Redemption 2 tied with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey with an average of 46 Frames Per Second. Now with all that being said, enabling adaptive sync the built-in frame counter was always at 144 Hz in any game I played. Except for one. My absolute favorite experience with the CU34G2X from AOC had to be playing modded Skyrim in 3440 x 1440 resolution. Although the game doesn’t support a 21:9 aspect ratio, it can be tweaked in the INI files of the game to support 3440 x 1440 resolution. and it looks great. But this was the one game that the frame counter was locked at 100. Without adaptive sync, Skyrim usually stays locked at 60 frames per second, or at least won’t go higher than 60 frames per second.

Final Thoughts and Conclusion

Overall, I can’t say enough good about the CU34G2X from AOC. I’ve owned other ultra-wide monitors before. However, this is the first time I’ve had a 34″ ultra-wide with a 144 Hz refresh rate in my office. I remember now why I originally switched from a triple screen set up to a single ultra-wide. The CU34G2X offers an amazing and immersive gaming experience. The curved screen offers better viewing angles than a flat version would and it just looks better than any flat screen I own. For an 8-it panel, the CU34G2X offers very vivid and bright colors, as well as deep, dark blacks. This makes the CU34G2X a great option for gamers who also do some editing on the side. For a YouTuber who is just uploading twitch streams or talking head videos, the colors on the CU34G2X are more than good enough for editing both video and even stills. Now, if you edit on a more professional level and get into color grading, then this probably isn’t the monitor for you. But again, this is a gaming monitor, not a professional one.

Games ran great on the CU34G2X. The gaming features on this monitor are plenty. One feature I never expected to use was the picture in picture feature. This was a very useful feature, especially when bench-marking. When running benchmarks, I won’t run anything else on that system in case it messes up the benchmark. So, having a picture in picture was great. I had two computers hooked up to the CU34G2X and when I was running benchmarks, I could still watch YouTube or and my benchmark on the same screen. It’s the little things in life. This was my first experience with adaptive sync and I fell in love with it. It is one of those features that you can’t go back to not using once you experience it. When my previous ultra-wide broke, I just couldn’t afford to drop another $1000 on a 34″ ultra-wide. So, I’ve put it off for a very long time. Generally, the features I am personally looking for in an ultra-wide would run between $700 and $1000. But, the MSRP of the CU34G2X from AOC when it officially launches on May 12, 2020, is only USD 449.99. That is an amazing price for the number of features AOC crammed into this 34″ ultra-wide. The CU34G2X is the ultra-wide monitor I have been waiting for for a very long time. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

The latest arrival in the Mitsubishi Motors South Africa stable expands the local product offering to six distinctive models in the range (ASX, Outlander, Pajero, Pajero Sport, Triton and now the Eclipse Cross).

“Eclipse Cross, which surpassed the global sales milestone of 80 000 units since its international launch 12 months ago, boasts a coupé-like exterior and is perceived more modern, distinctive, dynamic, advanced and sportier than most of its competitors,” says Nic Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa.

The all-new Eclipse Cross CVT will be available in 4×2 and all-wheel drive (AWD), both with a 6-speed CVT gearbox with Sports Mode coupled to Mitsubishi’s 2.0-litre MIVEC petrol engine.

The latest model offers cutting-edge technology to deliver a bold action adventure compact SUV that takes you beyond the everyday.

“The three primary product attributes of the all-new Eclipse Cross are stimulating design, confidence-inspiring driving and human connectivity,” says Campbell.

Design Concept and Awards

The stimulating design concept of the all-new Eclipse Cross brings the new compact SUV into the modern age, combining the latest styling design with incredible driving dynamics and innovative, intuitive safety technology.

Winning a host of international awards, including the prestigious GOOD DESIGN award for Design Excellence and Design Innovation, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was named the Automotive Researchers’ & Journalists’ Conference of Japan “RJC Car of the Year 2019”.

Judges praised the sharp looks, excellent rough-road performance and well-balanced drivability of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

The all-new model’s vibrant styling expresses a fresh sportiness and stylishness, making a bold statement on the road. Like the ring of sunlight from behind the moon in a full eclipse, the sharply sculpted character line makes the Eclipse Cross appear as if the body was carved from a single block of metal.

Its defiant design concept focuses on a fine balance between the wedge-shaped coupé style and practicality of space and comfort, with its adventure character creating a sophisticated balance between sport and style. On the outside, the front face expresses dynamism and sportiness based on the “dynamic shield” design concept, with Japanese craftsmanship including a functional and hi-tech lighting design.

Part of the Eclipse Cross’s Japanese Craftsmanship is the new Red Diamond body colour with high brightness and high chrome which emphasises the vehicle’s vibrant styling further. The strikingly lustrous Red Diamond paint is created by a multi-coat process that includes the layering of a semi-transparent red and clear coating for a high-colour saturation and intensity that produces a highly-refined, deeper finish. Red Diamond is the most premium exterior finish ever offered by Mitsubishi Motors.

The cockpit of the all-new Eclipse Cross has a sporty design that stimulates excitement with an ingenious selection of features, making drivers want to invite friends for a ride.

Confidence-inspiring Driving

Powered by Mitsubishi’s proven 2.0-litre MIVEC engine, coupled to a finely-tuned 6-speed CVT with 6-step Sports Mode, the all-new Eclipse Cross offers excellent acceleration that gives the new model a dynamic feeling behind the wheel.

Mitsubishi’s unique Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) ensures outstanding stability in all road and driving conditions, offering agile handling for unequalled safety.

S-AWC is the integration of the vehicle dynamics control system with the controls of each component around the all-wheel drive system, offering the driver additional safety and comfortable driving.

S-AWC guarantees ultimate driving safety through the electronically-controlled AWD System which distributes driving torque as required. This leads to ultimate longitudinal driving force distribution while the Active Yaw Control (AYC) ensures excellent lateral driving force distribution. This allows additional steering assistance on any terrain.

If the driver unintentionally brakes or accelerates too much in a normal turn in slippery conditions, the system helps the driver to maintain control safely with usual steering inputs.

S-AWC detects the vehicle’s position, decides the proper torque distribution between the front and rear and left and right wheels using power and brake control, ensuring sure-footed control.

The highly-efficient power train, with Smart Driving Assist and Active Smart Safety, offers confidence-inspiring driving and ultimate peace of mind.

Another outstanding feature is the full-colour Head Up Display (HUD) that sharpens the sensitivity of human and machine connection.

Human Connectivity

The all-new Eclipse Cross has an advanced human-centric cockpit thanks to its meticulously designed layout, giving the driver intuitive command of the vehicle in all conditions on or off the road.

As an optional extra, connecting your mobile device to a 7″ touchscreen Infotainment system (with built-in GPS) via Bluetooth allows the driver through Voice Control to access the phone’s compatible apps and stored information to get directions, make calls, send and receive messages and enjoy music from the phone or any Apple Car Play and Android compatible device.

Standard equipment is a standard touch-screen radio.

Everything is taken care of thanks to a smartphone storage tray and USB connectors in the centre console.

Model features

Specifications for the local range include a host of interior and exterior characteristics as well as active and passive safety features:

Interior:

On the inside the Eclipse Cross offers complete style and comfort with bolstered seats giving the driver relaxed support and unchallenged visibility.

The HUD conveys relevant vehicle information in full colour above the instrument cluster for easy viewing without the driver having to take his or her eyes off the road. The image brightness and display height can be adjusted to suit driver preference and time of day.

The screen extends or retracts when the ignition is turned on or off.

The all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be offered in two derivatives for the South African market – the two-wheel or front-wheel drive version and the all-wheel drive model.

The 2.0-litre MIVEC DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine uses ECI-Multi Point Fuel Injection with an output of 110 kW @ 6 000 rpm and 198 Nm of torque at 4 200 rpm.

Coupled to this engine, the INVECS-III CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with its 6-step Sports Mode delivers effortless acceleration from any speed, slick gear changes and a smooth ride. The driver can also control the shift steps via the Paddle Shifts behind the steering wheel. Keeping the engine at optimum performance at all times, the CVT enhances fuel efficiency.

All this is possible due to a new modified torque converter & damper assembly, changes in final gear ratios and software.

In the AWD version, the driver can choose the AUTO, SNOW or GRAVEL drive mode depending on road conditions to enhance accuracy, straight-line stability and manoeuvrability on slippery surfaces.

The CVT with 6-step Sports Mode contributes to the 2.0? MIVEC engine’s outstanding fuel consumption of 7.9 ?/100 km (combined cycle) for the 4×2 and 8.1 ?/100km for the AWD derivative.

Both models boast a turning circle of 5.3 m and a ground clearance of 180 mm.

The 4×2 derivative has a fuel tank of 63 litres while that of the AWD comes to 60 litres.

The introduction of Eclipse Cross as part of Mitsubishi Motors’ compact SUV range in South Africa has created the opportunity for the company to realign the ASX range with the introduction of two new derivatives – the ASX ES M/T and an ES 6-speed CVT derivative – with its retail prices at R359 995 and R379 995 respectively. An official press statement to follow in the last week of February 2019.

Pricing:

The all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross enters its segment as a massive value-for-money offering.

Eclipse Cross 2.0L CVT 4×2   R399 995

Eclipse Cross 2.0L CVT AWD R449 995

Both models are covered by Mitsubishi’s Manufacturer’s Warranty of 3 years or 100 000km, a 5-year / 90 000 km Service Plan and a 5-year / unlimited mileage Roadside Assistance.

Service intervals are every 15 000 km.

Facts About Best Folding Bike Revealed

The Bickerton story begins in 1968 with Harry Bickerton, having worked as an engineer in both Rolls Royce and Dehavilland, Harry realized there was a gap at the transportation market after taking a break from driving. Disappointed with the option of his own hand made road bike and the quality and layout of the present folding bicycle on the current market, he set about designing the first truly mobile folding bike. He desired it to be the best folding bicycle, which was lightweight and easy to use; the outcome weighed in at only 17lbs and folded down to the size of a shopping bag. After submitting the patent in October 1972, Bickerton were in business. The Bickerton folding bike has been evolved since Harry Bickerton had to combine public and private transport with another cheap, more convenient and wholesome form of travel to expand his personal freedom and felt that there has to be a large market if he could produce the greatest folding bike potential. At first Harry attempted taking a normal, conventional bicycle from home to the channel, this was okay but cost nearly as much as a car to depart at the station and half an adult fare to bring it to the train. When he reduced to leave it at the station, when he arrived at the opposite end of the train journey, he'd have to wait, then pay again to journey by bus, tube, taxi, hire car or walk. In an age when men could land on the moon, Harry felt they must have the technology and materials to work out this requirement more neatly by creating the best folding bicycle he could. The Bickerton folding bicycle was the response, not only for the train commuter who desired speed, market and healthful, yet tender exercise supplied from the Bickerton, but also, of course, for countless car drivers and bus, tube, boat, caravan and maybe even airplane users who want door to door transport and additional private freedom. But before examining the chance for a completely new type concept bike to substitute the anachronism which people generally use nowadays as bikes -- a design, incidentally, which has changed very little in appearance, materials or manufacturing methods for nearly 100 years -- Harry thought of a terrific selection of ideas. Everything, in fact from an inflatable man-carrying balloon into rubber-powered roller skates. In the end however, he best folding bike air travel concluded that a brand new folding bike was likely to be the best answer. To create the best folding bike possible the main requirements were light construction, portability and compact dimensions. When folded, it is small enough to enter the boot of a Mini and light enough to hang a hat stand. The correct components were also key to the success of this bicycle. The Bickerton had regular steel wheels, 14" in front and 16" at back; Weinman brakes; extending and folding handlebars; steel clamp hooks, in the primary fold; a cotterless chainset with nickel plated chain for corrosion resistance and cleanliness; rapid release pedal attachment and a sliding seat pillar adjustment. Possibly the most surprising discovery was that, having designed and made the initial pre-production aluminum bikes, Harry discovered that the machines marvellous to ride. Acceleration was amazing, hill-climbing outstanding, along with the general responsiveness and functionality was rather exhilarating -- in comparison to bicycles of a conventional design or specialist lightweights costing #200 or more. On top of that, these features were provided with a bike that was incredibly easy to lift and handle and that gave a superbly comfortable and resilient ride, which means you would seem to glide over even rough going and badly paved roads. As the first truly portable bike in the world the Bickerton had an unexpected bonus -- its superb riding quality. After passing the mantle onto his son Mark, Harry Bickerton retired to the Isle of Purbeck, in Dorset. He built himself an office and workshop at the garden and spent his last years doing exactly what he loved, 'inventing'. Among his unfinished projects was the Energy Store, a regenerative braking device for trucks and delivery vans. He is still sorely missed but Mark is proud to be continuing his job and fulfilling his dream of building the best folding bike, the Bickerton Portable. Mark Bickerton's involvement with folding bicycles stretches over the previous four decades -- perhaps the longest of anyone in the industry today. Over the past 30 years, he's worked with a highly capable and skilled group of friends to spearhead the development of folding bicycles. Together they are responsible for a number of the most advanced folding bicycle designs. In 2011, Mark re-launched Bickerton Portables as part of Freedom Holdings Ltd, a privately owned group devoted to advancing the art and science of cycling. Bickerton Portables today adopts the legacy and style of the first Bickerton brand with modern designs, materials and production. Mark works from his UK office in Hawkhurst in Kent. The Bickerton commercials offices are located in Taipei. So whilst Bickerton Portables are inherently British, the company is lucky indeed to have team members in design, development, production and supply all over the globe to make sure Bickerton make the best folding bike possible on the marketplace. Our present Selection of Bickerton Bikes includes the Argent, the Junction and Pilot. The Argent utilizes modern layout and materials to provide a super-strong frame. With an upright riding position, curved bars, a stone solid ride and a simple fold, we have made the best folding bike frame on the market today. The Junction range combines classic looks with compact folding size. The Pilot features 16 inch wheels that are big enough to get a great ride yet small enough to get excellent portability. The range begins at #449.99 for its Junction 1307 Nation that's available in Matt Aubergine and Raven Black.

2017 Toyota 860 Special Edition 2-Door 6-Speed Auto

New Post has been published on http://auto.tintoantap.com/2017-toyota-860-special-edition-2-door-6-speed-auto/

2017 Toyota 860 Special Edition 2-Door 6-Speed Auto

   The Toyota 86 is a series of 2+2 seater sports cars jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru and solely manufactured by Subaru. Toyota also referenced to its first sports car, the Sports 800, given that both this car and the 86 share a boxer engine layout, as widely used by project partner and 86 manufacturer, Subaru.

This suede-like material shows off the sophisticated side of 86. All-new Granlux trim accents covers key touch-points on the door panels, upper-seat bolsters and dash. Adding an extra bit of style is an embossed “86” logo above the passenger-side glove box.

A standard folding rear seat lets you bring your friends, or your gear, along for the ride. With 6.9 cubic feet of space in the trunk, you can fit those gotta-have items you need for a weekend getaway. Folding the rear seat down increases total cargo area, giving you enough space to carry an extra set of wheels and tires for those race-day excursions.

Available on 86 is the Display Audio with Navigation system. Unique to the Toyota family, this powerful piece of tech features a high-resolution 7-in. touch-screen display. Its navigation functionality with turn-by-turn directions makes it easy to find your way. Better yet, this system also comes standard with the Aha Radio.

Every 86 comes standard with Hill Start Assist Control (HAC). This convenient technology helps to keep the vehicle from rolling backward when switching from brake to accelerator on an incline.

SST helps reduce engine power when both the brake and gas pedals are pressed at the same time under certain conditions. The feature doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal, allowing time for the driver to move from brake to acceleration. And for those track days, that also means that you can still heel-toe in the manual transmission-equipped 86 without any problems.

86 comes standard with the Star Safety System , a suite of six advanced safety features that includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA).

Six airbags come standard on every 86, including a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side curtain airbags.

Whether you are in the market for a good performing yet cheap 10.1-inch tablet or a 2-in-1 tablet with detachable keyboard – running either Windows 10 or Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, or both, the 2017 Teclast Tbook 10 S can deliver in all categories. Being the top model among its rivals and powered by a Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor as opposed to the Intel Atom x5-Z8300 processor in the 2016 Teclast Tbook 10, I wanted to do a long term Teclast Tbook 10 S review too see how I would like this Android & Windows 2-in-1 tablet after spending some time with it.

Teclast Tbook 10 S (E6N2) is a 10.1-inch Full HD 1920 x 1200 resolution tablet with 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, and optional keyboard. But even so, the price is still very low, at just $159: http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_6918692.html

In brief, I like the Teclast Tbook 10 S more than my old Asus Transformer Book T100, with my main complaint being a Wi-Fi range that makes the bandwidth go down more than average over longer distances. But that can be worked around.

Starting with the performance, the Teclast Tbook 10 S performs like you would expect, with 64GB of eMMC storage, 4GB of DDR3L RAM, and the quad-core Intel Atom “Cherry Trail” x5-Z8350 processor at 1.44 – 1.92 GHz. The processor and RAM performs well, achieving Geekbench scores of almost 900 in single-core and 2000 in multi-core, on average. It handles large apps, and complicated things like Java scripts quickly and smoothly. So like with all computers, it’s only when you overstep the intentions of a computer, ike if you want to do hardcore gaming with high framerates at high resolution that it will start to slow down. All other normal games works well, both in load time and smoothness.

The Teclast Tbook 10 S score in the AnTuTu benchmark was 58308 as you can see below, so that’s good value for money. The processor and RAM works well. In the CrystalDisk benchmark for the 64GB storage, the generic storage was benchmarked with 130MB/s read speeds, and 33MB/s write speeds at the highest, but I didn’t notice any problems with the read/write speeds in games, apps, movies, or documents. The memory bandwidth was benchmarked to 4.7GB/s in Geekbench.

The back of the tablet doesn’t get too warm when gaming, or when running combinations of complex Java applications with high Wi-Fi bandwidths streaming while also charging the tablet at the same time.

With USB OTG you can add USB hubs or any USB device you like, and the HDMI port works well with external displays. The tablet itself can also run 4K videos glitch free.

Teclast Tbook 10 S is a dual-boot or dual-OS tablet with both 64-bit Windows 10, as well as Android 5.1 Lollipop without any bloatware.

With 64GB of storage, a little over 40GB is partitioned to Windows with 25GB storage space available after the updates, while Android is partitioned with a little over 20GB of storage, with just over 15GB storage space available after the updates. MicroSD cards up to 128GB are supported, and the tablet is powerful enough to drive external hard drives through the USB port without the need for external power for any additional hard drives.

Users can swap between Android and Windows easily both inside an OS, or when it has been turned off completely and starts up again. But when you put it to sleep, it will awake with the OS you used the last, just like any other tablet. So that gives users over 3 million apps to chose from in Google Play and Windows Store combined, in addition to all of the many Windows programs that have never been placed in Windows Store as an app in the first place.

Both operating systems works well on this Teclast tablet. Android was designed for mobile computing, but so is Windows 10, and Windows 10 users can easily swap between regular Desktop Mode and into Tablet Mode with larger tiles and the many, many tablet settings, by swiping from the right side of the bezels onto the display to swap between mode of operation.

The Windows button works as a Home Button in both Windows and Android, so that’s a nice touch that adds some extra user friendliness. Cortana is also there, ready to assist you if you want to do voice searches, activate apps, close apps, search maps, check the weather forecast, make notes or appointments, or have Cortana recognize what song is playing.

Browsers scroll well in both Android and Windows. I’ve used and tested this Teclast tablet for weeks now, which means that any problems with the browsers or OS that may have been there, will have been fixed by the automatic updates by now. Because of that, I always find it a good idea to use tablets for a while to break them in, before I give a verdict on them.

The design of Teclast Tbook 10 S is smart and of high build quality. It has a solid aluminum alloy casing, tight build, and the color of the tablet is Champagne Gold, but in a discreet way, with an understated elegance, enhanced by a sort of diamond cut thin shiny edges around the frame of the tablet. The finish also provides good friction and grip on the back and on the sides of the tablet, while still making it feel smooth in your hands. The aluminum alloy body makes this tablet very solid, and it is perfectly balanced with equal weight on each side.

Teclast Tbook 10 S

It is 8.7 mm thick and weighs 586 grams, and a positive feature is that the bezels are thinner than what is standard in this tablet category too, and I measured the bezels being between 12-13 mm wide around the display. It has a combined on/off or wake/sleep button on top, right next to the +/- volume rocker and, and it has the Windows Home button on the bezel.

It’s then equipped with a microSD card slot, a mini-HDMI port, a micro-USB 2.0 port, a 3.5 mm audio combo jack, a DC charge port (with a DC-to-USB charge port cable in the box), stereo speakers at bottom on each side in landscape mode, a smart discreet and hardly noticeable front facing mic, and a 2MP front camera.

These 2MP cameras tends to take grainy pictures, and this camera is no exception. It’s like it has a very high ISO. There is no size distortion of objects seen through the camera, the colors are generally accurate, and the video frame rate is good in video chat. It’s just that the overall picture quality could be better because it lacks sharpness and good contrasts, but I have seen worse cameras too.

The microphone pickup is between normal and good, maybe a bit better than average because of the smart location of the mic. The speakers are loud so the volume is good, but the sound quality that is produced is typical tablet speaker sound, with clear vocals but little bass of course.

The 10.1-inch screen on Teclast Tbook 10 S has a Full HD 1920 x 1200 resolution display with wide viewing angles. The screen is sharp, with clear and sharp text that is pleasant to read, and the colors are accurate, with not too much saturation and not too little either.

If used in strongly sunlight areas, either outdoors or in a bright room in a skyscraper with lots of sun coming in through large windows, then the screen could be a little brighter, otherwise I found it bright enough. The reflection levels are normal, and as demonstrated in the first image below, I also tested it with the sun shining directly onto 1/3 of the display, and as you can see, it hardly has any effect at all on the right side of the screen.

Teclast Tbook 10 S outdoors reflection test on snow and ice

The display has 10-point touch support, and the display responds to touches very well, while it also feels very smooth to touch and swipe. A new optional pen has been made for the 2017 model Teclast Tbook 10 S that is different than the pen for the non-S Teclast Tbook 10, but since it lacks palm rejection, I don’t see much point, unless you understand how it will behave then.

I can recommend the optional Teclast Tbook 10 S keyboard dock though. The Teclast Tbook 10 S keyboard has the same Champagne Gold color as the Teclast Tbook 10 S tablet, and this detachable keyboard is attached through strong magnets in combination with two supporting pins or columns to keep the tablet safely attached. The magnets in this attachment are so strong, that you can safely lift up the tablet with the keyboard hanging attached underneath, and the keyboard still won’t fall off. I don’t actually recommend holding it like that, but you can if you want to.

But despite that, it is still quick and easy to detach the tablet from the keyboard, by holding the keyboard lightly down while tilting the tablet off to the side. So that makes it a very friendly 2-in-1 tablet to use.

The keyboard also doubles as a stand, so you can turn the tablet around and attach it away from the keys of the keyboard, or place it “upside down” in tent mode, or put int in clipboard mode on top of the keyboard with the screen facing out, or even in vertical tent mode, and it will still be standing very firmly, with no chance of falling over. The hinges also have just the right amount of resistance to them to make sure of that. The data connectors between the tablet and the keyboard are gold plated pogo pins, and it has 4 anti-slip grip points under the keyboard, to prevent the keyboard from sliding.

Teclast Tbook 10 S keyboard

The Teclast Tbook 10 S keyboard also adds a full-size USB port on the right side, and it has a touchpad/trackpad with integrated left and right mouse click buttons on the bottom of the touchpad. And with the touchpad you get the Windows 10 touchpad gestures too, which all works on this keyboard.

The mouse pointer surfaces on the screen when you start using the touchpad, but disappears again if you start to touch the screen with your fingers. You can lock the touchpad to prevent accidental touches, and there’s even a Number Lock on the keyboard.

Even though the keyboard is a “10-inch keyboard”, compared to full-size keyboards, the difference in distance between the first row of QWERTY letter keys from the left side Q to the right side P, is actually only half an inch, or about 12 mm in total. The keys are very accurate, so typing and pressing the keys can be done with a lot of confidence. The keys on this keyboard are also more silent than average when you type.

The Teclast Tbook 10 S battery life comes in at 4 hours and 31 minutes in repeated tests, and the battery capacity is 6000 mAh. Charging the tablet is achieved the fastest through the 2.5A DC port, with a charging time of just under 3 hours. But you can also charge through the micro-USB port which will take a little bit longer.

To connect to the Internet, this tablet has Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi cover. The Wi-Fi bandwidth is normal at close range to the Wi-Fi router, but the download bandwidth tends to drop over longer distances. For an as of yet unknown reason, it affects the download bandwidth much more than the upload bandwidth on longer distances. So because of that, I am not sure where the issue is. I have notified Teclast, and I’m crossing my fingers for a hypothetical firmware update that can improve this. I will update this article if Teclast informs me later on.

There is a way around this in the meantime though, which would make the Wi-Fi even better than an optimal original, and that’s by opting for a small USB ac Wi-Fi dongle which starts at $10. USB ac Wi-Fi adapters comes in different sizes, and the smallest ones are just tiny 10 mm dongles. With an 802.11 ac Wi-Fi adapter, users get the fastest possible Wi-Fi anyway, so that would upgrade the tablet a lot, and it would improve both the Wi-Fi range and the bandwidth or speed up to maximum, provided you have ac Wi-Fi in your Wi-Fi router of course.

ConsPros– Wi-Fi bandwidth drop on long distances. – Battery life could be improved. – Grainy pictures from camera.– Good display. – High build quality. – User friendly and versatile. – Good value for money.

In conclusion, the Teclast Tbook 10 S gives a lot, either as a Windows tablet, Android tablet, Windows 10 2-in-1 tablet, or as an Android tablet with detachable keyboard – It can do all four categories, and it can run Microsoft Office an other work tasks in both Android and Windows, run large apps, edit files, do gaming, browsing, and social media, play movies, view and edit images.

Because of its capacities, it can be used as a proper computer, either as a budget computer or as an additional portable computer. And because of the price, it can be upgraded in the areas where it could improve, and still not cost much. A 10.000 mah power bank costs around $20 and would more than double the battery life. A USB ac Wi-Fi dongle starts at around $10.

2017 Toyota 860 Special Edition 2-Door 6-Speed Manual

New Post has been published on http://auto.tintoantap.com/2017-toyota-860-special-edition-2-door-6-speed-manual/

2017 Toyota 860 Special Edition 2-Door 6-Speed Manual

   The Toyota 86 is a series of 2+2 seater sports cars jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru and solely manufactured by Subaru. Toyota also referenced to its first sports car, the Sports 800, given that both this car and the 86 share a boxer engine layout, as widely used by project partner and 86 manufacturer, Subaru.

Long hood. Short rear deck. The classic sports car profile. 86 brings this design to the modern era with each surface sculpted to help give this ride a wind-cheating drag coefficient of just .29 Cd. And best of all, this aggressive style helps optimize overall performance, too. The large chin spoiler and integrated canards help keep the front end planted firmly to the ground for sharpened turn-in and response. The restyled rear diffuser improves airflow and reduces turbulent air exiting from under the car, adding function to its street-ready attitude.

Brighter light. More efficiency. Striking design. A full complement of LED lighting accentuates the cutting-edge style of 86. Up front, LED lighting is used for the high- and low-beam headlights, integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and turn signals, helping to ensure this sports car won’t be ignored. In the rear, LED lighting is used for the taillights, brake lights and rear turn signals, further taking 86 to a new level of cool. Now “show ‘em your taillights” can take on a whole new meaning.

Available fog lights seamlessly integrate into the refreshed front bumper of 86. Designed exclusively for 86, these fog lights fit inside the aerodynamic canards, ensuring a perfect fit. Not only do these help provide more light when the weather gets foul, they take the sporty look of 86 to a whole new level.

New vortex generators on the fenders help control turbulent airflow, enhancing the stability of 86. These also work to keep the front end planted firmly to the ground, so you can stay connected to the road.

When you got it, flaunt it. 86 shows off its performance cred with a chrome-tipped dual exhaust. Constructed from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this cat-back exhaust system features mandrel bends for smoother airflow, helping optimize the performance of 86.

86 features an ergonomic, leather-wrapped steering wheel that feels great in your hands and, thanks to the smaller diameter and quick-ratio steering, feels amazing in the corners. And that’s not all—with new integrated audio controls, you get easier access to your music, helping you can stay in control of it all.

Deeply bolstered front seats bring comfort to those long drives, and they hold you in place when the roads get twisty. Granlux trim on the upper side bolsters provide extra grip and an added sense of luxury. And silver-like accent stitching further enhances the premium feel of 86.

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Speed Automatic

New Post has been published on http://auto.tintoantap.com/2017-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-speed-automatic/

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Speed Automatic

   The Toyota Tacoma is a pickup truck manufactured in the U.S. by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota since 1995. The first generation Tacoma, model years 1995 through 2004, was classified as a compact pickup. The second generation was classified as mid-size.

This is hard-core engineering. TRD-tuned FOX Internal Bypass shocks give you the ultimate in performance and control. Featuring 2.5-in. aluminum housings; hardened, oversize shock shafts; and remote reservoirs in the rear. These are designed to help provide more ground clearance, more travel, maximum damping and fade-free performance. In other words, this suspension helps smooth out the rough stuff.

Engineered by TRD, these intense LED fog lights pack a lot of brightness into a compact package. Aluminum housings feature the Rigid Industries logo, and rugged construction helps ensure that these lights can endure harsher environments. With their wide-angle beam pattern, these lights help ensure you have light when, and where, you need it.

When you got it, flaunt it. Inspired by the iconic Toyota trucks of the past, this blackout heritage grille reminds everyone why Toyota is still king of the off-road.

A unique TRD Pro skid plate comes standard on Tacoma TRD Pro. Constructed from 1/4-in.-thick aluminum, this piece of armor helps protect crucial mechanical components underneath the front end, so you can even go beyond points on the map.

This is the bark behind the powerful V6 bite. This cat-back exhaust adds a raspy exhaust note that announces your arrival. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, its precise CNC mandrel bends help maximize efficiency. Helping finish off the package is a chrome-plated, dual-walled tip with embossed TRD logo.
