Fact or Fiction: Cracked Fuel Lines

 Sorry for the poor image above but this it the Cracked Fuel Line I'm trying to show

Fuel Lines rarely need replacement, but over time rubber begin to age and harden, developing cracks and leaks. When they begin to go bad, the results can be catastropic. Vibrations, Rubbing against other components, or impact can all cause an old line to rupture or crack, leading to engine fires or fuel starvation. Check all fuel lines, for stress fractures or corrosion. The image above was the cracked fuel line from an '05 STI with less than 9656.064 km ( 6000 miles )on the odometer.

Toyota Camry Sportivo 3.0L V6 ( Australia Spec )

Proudly present you Toyota Camry Sportivo equipped with 3.0L engine with 6 cylinders. My friend own this ride in Australia and I manage to ask him to take some shot of the car. Although there are just a few but I'm already satisfy with it, I wonder how come there's a big difference between Malaysia's Toyota Camry compared to the one in Australia. The one in Australia is just so nice and looks more sporty. Pictures speaks a thousand words.

History of the Toyota Camry Solara
In September 2001, the 2002 model year Toyota Camry was released as a larger sedan (taking styling cues from the successful Vitz, Corolla, and Solara), but without a station wagon for the first time. Due to station wagons losing popularity to minivan and crossover SUVs, the Camry wagon was replaced by the Sienna minivan, the Venza crossover, (both in North America only) and the Highlander SUV, which are all the three vehicles utilizing the Camry's platform.

Until the 2003 model year, the Camry Solara remained on the sixth generation chassis, and received only minor styling upgrades to the front and rear ends. However, the Solara did receive the same 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE I4 engine that was available on the Camry sedan.

Ford has unveiled its Start Concept vehicle at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show. Powered by a 1.0l, three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, the design of the vehicle was inspired by the world's fast-growing mega cities and the unique needs and mindset of their inhabitants. With heavy traffic, limited parking and fuel efficiency being key concerns among urban drivers, the car provides a vision into a future sporty, small-car package that meets a multitude of primary driving objectives, particularly among first-time buyers.

Design elements include the use of lightweight material and the incorporation of efficient aerodynamics, and the car also utilises smart phone technology to perform a multitude of in-car functions.

The company says that besides the design exploration aspects into the feasibility of a future small car, the vehicle is also effectively a preview of the smallest engine yet in the growing EcoBoost engine family; Ford says the technology will come into production in the near future,  offering low CO2 emissions but with the power and drivability comparable to the company's larger petrol inline-four cylinder powerplants.
