Modifications are often emphasized in the interior and exterior, but not so with the all-new Honda Jazz belongs Allfreed Gunawan. Ray, is his hobby. ... As a daily vehicle in the city Allfreed not too concerned with the performance of the sector and heavy Modification exterior sector. He wants to keep his car for the day-to-day friendly and also convenient for the family. Therefore deliberately avoids Allfreed exterior changes that are often reduced functionality and comfort.
Exteriornya not change too much among other applications replica BBS alloy wheels 17 "by Lenso with Falken Ziex tires and supported by a performance brand of H & R spring for dings remain soft and rigid. Airscoop carbon add-on is added to create a sporty image GE8 increasingly felt.
Likewise, the performance sector. One reason for choosing GE8 because Allfreed The standard default is equipped with i-VTEC engine 120 Horsepower and torque of 145 NM. It is the highest class. But young people still want to boost this Photographer performance standards, so he added GE8 Pivot Throttle Controller, air filter replacement K & N brand, exhaust and Kansai Electric Fuel Treatment (EFT). The result was satisfactory.
Interior & Audio:
For the sake of indulging in all the traffic jams of Jakarta, Allfreed not hesitate to pin audio systems are judged sufficient to "make you relax." To be selected Alpine 9835 head unit with features MaxTune SQ tuner, backed five-channel Audio Power Valve Handcrafted by David Lumanaw to download the 2-way speakers Vifa drive. While the power Ampere XS 150 2-channel used to drive 10-inch Kicker subwoofers. To maintain a stable electric current is used also Flux capacitor bank. To maintain the quality of the audio signal cable quality is also very note therefore selected as DLS cables, Monster Cable and Mogami RCA.
Lights, lights and Lights
Image of a Allfreed Gunawan can not be separated from the beam. In addition to his hobby with photography which is always struggling with the lighting, all-new Honda Jazz cars are given a touch dimilikinyapun many rays.
In the interior LED on the Allfreed pinned under the dashboard, the bottom of the door, ceiling and luggage. Head lamp and stop lamp is still using the default standard, but provided additional LED light strips. Tiny dots that light up at the bottom of the head / stop lamp at night elegant effect. LED light is installed / inserted at the bottom of each house with a lamp fitting carefully so neat and not interfere with the results. When the installation is inadvertently result instead because its rays will damage the beauty of a mess.
Still not satisfied with the LED, Allfreed start "crazy". She wants the bright lights and focus. When forced with a powerful halogen lamp of the risk of damage to headlamp, so he chose Xenon HID lamps. 4300 Xenon HID headlamp using kelvin, foglamp using Xenon HID Golden type, and the reverse lights gokilnya is also dipasanginya Xenon HID 6000 Kelvin. "Forward or backward, still bright" she said with a laugh. (All uses HID Xenon HID Xenon Moonlightnings).
Indeed, the car was deliberately intended to use race. Therefore, if taken daily it is definitely not comfortable steered. Start the engine type engine innards, until his legs are no longer standard. Once stepped on the gas pedal directly ngacirrr!
"The car got rada gokil aka crazy," open the garage commander Fredy New Face in the number of Land coachman, South Jakarta, explained Didier profile owner Ferio Honda Civic (EK4) output in 1997 is like racing so-kebutan spelled 'gokil'. If, before he used the Starlet as satisfying the desire to race but now he uses the type hatchback sedan imported from Japan, aka whole Compeletely Built-Up (CBU) to channel hobynya.
Now, in order to achieve satisfaction, Didier also make changes to the standard form similar to the Civic a glimpse of this version of Estilo. The concept used to follow the trend JDM (Japanese Domestic Market), which means that all components, accessories including racing part comes from the land of Oshin.
The first step, do the engine swap, "He choose to raise B18C engine to replace the old machine (B16)," Dimas added in New Face. The reason, B18 engine (1.8 liters) were considered more powerful than the engine built and resposnif that only cylinder 1.6 liter capacity. The next process to replace the engine innards, made to conform to obtain an appropriate setting and when the gas dibejek not 'messy'.
Contents innards are replaced elected Spoon cam gears, Exedy racing clutch, Jones street cam, and the power of enterprise to support a belt that all power generating machinery. Sector worn ignition spark plug wires and spark plugs from NGK racing. Then, ported polish on clylinder head (cylinder head) did not escape doing so the combustion process becomes more fluent. "With these changes, the ratio is now obtained by 1 liter of fuel for 8 kilometers, so the consumption of gasoline became more extravagant," said Fred.
Support the JDM style, original color maroon body previously in re-use of white paint. The addition of body kit add-on in the whole body adopted the custom style walker that makes the display look sporty as well as aerodynamic. Then, the ciamik after application of a pair of mirror-made carbon material follows Spoon rear spoilernya.
In order to mount the slang, the aspect of comfort is not really considered Didier, to the standard suspension was removed and replaced by the type of Koni adjustable and sokbreker. And, as his foot rim Advan RG I selected a 17 x 8 "flat (front-rear) wrapped in rubber round of Super Ultra 215/40/R17.
In harmony with the outside view, the inside cabin also nuance JDM can be seen in a dynamic interior. A pair of Recaro racing seat SR, Sparco steering wheel, Razo shift knob, Sparco pedal set and well in the console trim panel and door trim bok rear seats are also decorated with red Recaro material color. While the dashboard panel is wrapped using Amara suede black. As a complement, installed Alpine CDA 9827 head unit, which supported a sub JBL 10 "and power Soundstream. (Rist)

Is 'Social' Business Collaboration Just an Expensive Fad?
Social networking technology has found a solid niche in the business world. Facebook and Twitter are proving to be powerful -- and cost-effective -- tools for connecting with customers and promoting products and services.
Major corporations like Pepsi and Procter & Gamble have been so happy with the results of their various social 
media campaigns that they have shifted large portions of their advertising budgets from more traditional channels like print and television to the social networking realm.The general acceptance of social media by big business has undoubtedly contributed to the lofty stock market valuations now attached to companies that not too long ago were being derided as having no redeeming value -- social, monetary or otherwise.
These trends also have grabbed the attention of business applications developers. A number of these companies -- some of which were also one-time darlings of Wall Street -- apparently believe that jumping onto the social media wave is the only way to keep paying customers these days.
Enhancing Business Collaboration
To that end, these companies have begun piling social networking functionality on top of applications that initially were built for managing back-end business activities such as tracking the movement of goods across a supply chain.The vendors are selling this new functionality as a way of improving communication and collaboration across an enterprise.
The ability to communicate and collaborate effectively is essential to the running of a successful business, but I'm not sure that social networking technology -- particularly in the form that vendors are currently presenting it -- offers the best approach for improving business collaboration.
Many of these vendors are asking corporations to make significant investments in applications that do little more than mimic Facebook.
How Is This Different?
Take Chatter, the social business application offered by customer relationship management software specialist Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM). Users get a homepage that looks like a typical dashboard on a business analytics application. The dashboard presents a snapshot of the various metrics that users would want to monitor in order to stay on top of their jobs, along with the ability to drill down and get more details on specific items.The difference is that the Chatter dashboard includes a profile feature that allows users to list personal data about themselves, including a photo and "status" information. They also can follow other Chatter users.
So, how exactly is this different from Facebook, and what's the real value to a business user? A Chatter demo -- posted on YouTube, naturally -- explains that a business status update would let people know what you're working on, not who you're currently dating. Also, the follow feature lets you follow much more than people. You can follow spreadsheets, documents or applications.
Following spreadsheets and documents means you get instance notice when they get updated. I can only assume that tracking an application would be similar to what supply chain application vendors refer to as "event management." It simply means that you ask the system to send you an alert -- either through an email or text message -- when a specific event occurs, such as an order being shipped. Chatter users would see that notice on their profile page instead of their email inbox.
This Isn't Social Networking
Tibco, which has a history of offering solutions to help companies integrate supply chain infrastructures, has a similar feature in it new social business application, which it calls "tibbr." While I can see the value of this feature, I wouldn't categorize it as social networking. I would categorize it as part of the broader trend on the part of vendors to be associated with social networking.I also would caution users being approached by these vendors to protect their IT budgets. There are already numerous applications on the market that are designed specifically to enhance business collaboration. Most supply chain management applications have the event management capability that I mentioned earlier. If you need to enable broader collaboration across departments, products like Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) SharePoint or IBM's (NYSE: IBM) Lotus suite offer more than adequate functionality. Both of these products also now boast social networking functionality, if you crave that as well.
I wonder, though, if the back end of a business is really the right place for social networking technology. Does it make good business sense to have people who are responsible for tracking the flow of goods or managing customer payments spending their time updating the business equivalent of their Facebook pages?
