<p>A bold step taken by Portugal, Toyota Astra car (TAM) the holder of the exclusive agent for the brand (sub Guide) Toyota. In the automotive market conditions in the country is slow due to turmoil on global financial crisis hurt, they even offered a Hilux double (deep cab) the history of golf cars 4-4 Zarah satisfied to extend it, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (21 / 1) .</p>
<p>In fact, Tan has not yet experienced playing in the D category, the cab 4 × high-tech. Then, in the national market share, this year recorded a total of 607,151 units, d-cab eat only about 16,026 units, about 2.7 percentage points. Finally, Hilux is too late to present, rather than its competitors, Ford, Mazda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, and the Great Wall (China).</p>
<p>&#8220;The obstacles in the negotiations after a very long, almost a year principals. And they asked fuel quality and road conditions, explained:&#8221; The president director of PT Tan Johnny Darmawan.He also said that, coupled with the existence of import procedures and the new agreement is far from 11, launched his new present.<br />
<span id="more-102"></span><br />
Although the late Johnny have a belief, a new baby &#8216;, they can with its rivals. In fact, Joko Trisanyoto, as director of marketing and bold in this year&#8217;s sales target of 2,000 units or 20 percent of the total is expected to decline this year, about 40% or 1 million units. &#8221;We are seeing the situation in the plantation, when he quick recovery may be more than 2,000 units, said:&#8221; Joko.</p>
<p>Johnny said that he saw a better growth, plantations and mines from years ago. &#8221;Now, marketing focused on Java and Sumatra. As the two places, solarnya quality is still better than the other regions. But it does not shut down the possibility of other areas you can enter also said:&#8221; Johnny.</p>
<p>There are two factors is to convince Johnny and the Hilux 4 × Tan that they can receive the market. The first factor, the price. In the classroom, Hilux dibanderol U.S. dollars 281.5 million (construction machinery) is the most expensive and only five competitors, the Ford Ranger 4 × 3.0 TDCi diesel XCT worth more than 300 million U.S. dollars, Isuzu D &#8211; Max 3.0 Diesel M / Ť approximately 322 million U.S. dollars, Nissan Frontier Navara 3.05 billion (gasoline) and the Mazda BT50 DC high-grade diesel dibanderol U.S. dollars, 284.5 million.</p>
<p>For more information, there are several competitors, also increased the price. Means that the bottom of the Toyota Hilux. However, for fans of the D &#8211; the cab, if you are interested in Toyota&#8217;s products, the rapid purchase, because there will be more price changes. According to the Ministry in charge of Sales Division, Jody Tan Jodjana the second quarter, which Hilux prices will rise again more than 300 million U.S. dollars.</p>
<p>The second factor, d-cab Toyota has superior strength. Models 1KD, China, as the 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve 163 ps are transferred power in 3400. Finally, in terms of size.</p>

<p>Toyota Wish I saw enough of the decorative street homes, PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) for the third guide Toyota, does not produce or import to Indonesia. Hope that this means that consumers enough interest in here, there is still demand for this type of vehicle. To see such a prospect, the general importer (international units) want to dare to enter.</p>
<p>Since this is the first production in Japan, in 2003, Toyota will work together to dometik Japanese market (DM). MPV vehicle classification, then, cars are also in the ASEAN market, in addition to Indonesia. Hoped that this year has entered the second generation, first generation from 2003 to 2008.</p>
<p>The new wish in the Japanese market since April, and provides the choice of two engines.Kitchen runway application engineers 2ZR liters of DOHC Dual VVT &#8211; i 1800 ml, according to the data, energy up to 144 did not know at 6400 rpm. Although 3ZR &#8211; Applications Engineer DOHC engine, two-liter VVT &#8211; i 2000 Haosheng 158 in 4400 to switch do not know. All models use the seven-speed gearbox Super CVT &#8211; 1.</p>
<p>In appearance to seek a change, than the previous generation, I think this is a more energetic and exciting. Changes clearly see the front bumper, sharp inlet design, pre-column forward, the engine hood and headlight design. This is the first change since the 2005 facelift. <span id="more-30"></span></p>
<p>This minivan carrying seven passengers, the latest generation of machinery and equipment Valvematic, since 2007 the introduction of technology, Noah. Early 2009 machines in the family wish to use zirconium. Valvematic changing the valve opening height and long-term open access to the best combination of performance and efficiency.</p>
<p>Although the functional CVT Transmissin super-smart (Super Continuously Variable &#8211; 1), help improve fuel efficiency than its predecessor. According to information from Japan, there is information, motorists who use the 1800 cc engine, fuel consumption of 16 km / liter.</p>
<p>Internally, this new generation of desire is changing. More spacious luggage space, 95 mm, the center console, titanium or silver detail, more ergonomic and comfortable leg space is also improved. AC Plusmacluster technology, the fresh clean air.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The XS11’s fuse block is a notoriously weak point of an otherwise fine motorcycle. So I decided to replace my fuse block. It looks and works great and fits in the same place as the original fuse block while giving you two additional fuse connections.</p>
<p><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5z9JoK2IYvM/SKD0zBD-0VI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/vfIiBrOEEZk/s320/fusebox.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>The place to buy an Auxiliary Fuse Block is J.C. Whitney. (Part No. 03dh7115w). It costs about $24.95 + shipping and uses spade type automotive fuses. Don’t get any of the other fuse blocks from JCW because they won’t work for our application. This is the only one they sell which has independent in and out leads. All the others have one input and multiple outputs. Great if you’re adding a ton of accessories but inappropriate as a replacement for our fuse block.</p>
<p>You don’t have to know anything about electronics but you do have to work methodically. Don’t remove any wires until you’re ready to do the whole job. Even then, only work with one wire at a time so you don’t connect things incorrectly.</p>
<p>Parts you’ll need:<br />
- Auxiliary fuse block from J.C. Whitney (part number 03dh7115w)<br />
- 8 ea female spade connectors (pref. insulated)<br />
- Crimping tool (my favorite crimping tool is a pair of Vice Grips)<br />
- Wire cutters<br />
- Wire stripper<br />
- New automotive type spade fuses (matched to the same values as the tube type fuses)<br />
- Small piece of 1/8 aluminum to be used as a backing plate for Auxiliary fuse block. 1.5 x 4.25<br />
- 2 small nuts, washers and bolts to attach fuse block to backing plate. (You’ll need to keep the bolts which hold the existing fuse block to the frame)<br />
- 2 rubber grommets (as standoffs to fill gap between backing plate and frame.<span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>Procedure:<br />
-Unscrew the bolts which hold the plastic fuse block in place. Leave all the wires in place in the old fuse block at this time.<br />
-Take the aluminum backing plate and trace the holes from the original fuse block onto the plate.<br />
-Now trace the holes from the new fuse block onto the aluminum backing plate. Make sure the holes aren’t too close to allow clearance for the mounting bolts.<br />
-Drill holes in backing plate.<br />
-Using a new razor blade and a delicate touch, cut back the wrapping on the wiring harness about 2 inches. This will give you more of the wires to work with.<br />
-Take a roll of masking tape and make little marker flags for each wire coming into the old fuse box. Make sure the flags are about 3/4 inch above the connector. Label each pair of wires (Ignition, Headlight, etc.) so that you don’t screw up the connections.<br />
-Carefully remove the wires from the old fuse box. I used a small screwdriver to release the old fuse holders from the plastic box.<br />
-With wire cutters, cut off the old fuse holders as close to the crimped connection as possible.<br />
-Strip off about 1/4 inch of the insulation and crimp on one of the female spade connectors for each wire. (I know that Doug likes soldering these connections and that’s fine but it’s kinda hard to work with wires which are so close to the bike.) Using Vice-Grips to crimp these connectors has worked much better for me than the special crimp tools they sell for that job.<br />
-Don’t use the sheet metal screws that come with the new fuse block. Instead, use appropriate sized bolts to attach it to the backing plate. I chose to have the heads of the bolts on the back side of the backing plate to make sure the extra length of the bolt doesn’t dig into the frame plate.<br />
-Use the rubber grommets on the bolts on the back side of the bolts which attach the backing plate to the frame plate to make sure that the assembly mounts securely.<br />
-Attach the wires to the connectors. I found that having the wires come around the right side of the fuse block (instead of having the wires come around the left side in the stock fuse block) puts less stress on the wires. I did have to change the order of the fuses and wires because one pair of wires seemed a little short to provide a stress free connection.<br />
-I used a drawing program to create a label to attach inside the clear plastic cover. I glued it in by “painting” the front side of the label with white glue and putting it in the inside of the plastic cover. (don’t worry that you can’t read it right now – when it dries it will be clear.) make sure you glue it in right side up as the cover will only go on one way.<br />
-Plug in the appropriate fuses and place the clear cover over the fuse block. (You can remove the masking tape flags if you’d like to make it look prettier.)</p>
