I am the proud owner of an '81 <br> c70. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions about making the front <br> brake more than marginally useful.<br> <br> As we all know front brakes are crucial, doing (usually) most of the <br> stopping work.<br> <br> Sadly, the front brake on my Passport is virtually useless. It slows me <br> down a bit, but the rear brake actually provides much more stopping <br> power. In the wet, however, the rear is wont to lock up, making for a <br> slippery stop.<br> <br> Can anyone suggest repairs or modifications to make that front brake <br> work better? I have put good tires on it but am hoping that I can <br> perform changes to increase stopping power.<br> <br> Are there any disc brake after market parts available? Or, is the best I <br> can do to replace the cable and possibly the drum? It is not badly worn <br> inside the front drum, so I'm at a bit of a loss.<br> <br> Any help is appreciated.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> Anthony<br> </p> </div> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~--> <div style="color: #fff; height: 0;">__._,_.___</div> <div id="ygrp-actbar" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; white-space: nowrap; color: #666; padding-top: 15px;"> <div> <a href="mailto:drtrevster@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20%5BHonda-C70%5D%20front%20brakes" style="margin-right: 0; padding-right: 0;"> Reply to <span style="font-weight: 700;">sender</span></a> | <a href="mailto:Honda-C70@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20%5BHonda-C70%5D%20front%20brakes"> Reply to <span style="font-weight: 700;">group</span></a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxcHViNnAxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBG1zZ0lkAzQ0ODEwBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMjQ3OQ--?act=reply&messageNum=44810">Reply <span style="font-weight: 700;">via web post</span></a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMnNjc3E1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMjQ3OQ--" style="font-weight: 700;">Start a New Topic</a> </div> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/message/44809;_ylc=X3oDMTM2aWczNTBpBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBG1zZ0lkAzQ0ODEwBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMjQ3OQR0cGNJZAM0NDgwOQ--">Messages in this topic</a> (<span style="font-weight: 700;">2</span>) </div> <!------- Start Nav Bar ------> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <div id="ygrp-vital" style="background-color: #e0ecee; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px;"> <span id="vithd" style="font-weight: bold; color: #333; text-transform: uppercase; ">Recent Activity:</span> <ul style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; display: inline;"> <li style="border-right: 1px solid #000; font-weight: 700; display: inline; padding: 0 5px; margin-left: 0;"> <span class="cat"><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMGRubmFqBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZtYnJzBHN0aW1lAzEzMjg5MzI0Nzk-?o=6" style="text-decoration: none;">New Members</a></span> <span class="ct" style="color: #ff7900;">16</span> </li> <li style="border-right: 1px solid #000; font-weight: 700; display: inline; padding: 0 5px; margin-left: 0;"> <span class="cat"><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/spnew;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMG45YWNsBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZwaG90BHN0aW1lAzEzMjg5MzI0Nzk-" style="text-decoration: none;">New Photos</a></span> <span class="ct" style="color: #ff7900;">11</span> </li> </ul> <div style="clear: both; padding-top: 2px; color: #1e66ae;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70;_ylc=X3oDMTJlamlvZDV1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMjQ3OQ--" style="text-decoration: none;">Visit Your Group</a> </div> </div> <div id="ygrp-grfd" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 15px 0;"> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> C70 Passport Not Running Right?<BR> 1970-73 C70 Honda Service Manual: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw">http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw</a><BR> 1970-73 C70 Troubleshooting Guide: <BR> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw">http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw</a> (scroll to sec.7.1 page 101.jpg)<BR> 1980-83 C70 Honda Service Manual: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hu42c">http://tinyurl.com/hu42c</a><BR> 1980-81 C70 Troubleshooting Guide: <BR> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hu42c">http://tinyurl.com/hu42c</a> (scroll to sec.18-1 page 170.jpg)<BR> 1982-83 C70 Troubleshooting Guide: <BR> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hu42c">http://tinyurl.com/hu42c</a> (scroll to sec. 20-28 page 205.jpg)<BR> <BR> 1980-81 C70 Maintenance Schedule: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/z4zn6">http://tinyurl.com/z4zn6</a><BR> 1982-83 C70 Maintenance Schedule: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hw35c">http://tinyurl.com/hw35c</a><BR> <BR> More resources for C70 Passports and Cubs:<BR> <a href="http://www.shlaes.com/Vehicles/Scooter.htm">http://www.shlaes.com/Vehicles/Scooter.htm</a><BR> <a href="http://www.velodrome.com/HondaC70/HondaC70.html">http://www.velodrome.com/HondaC70/HondaC70.html</a> <!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --> </div> <div id="ft" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0 2px 0 0; clear: both;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkZG9nZ2o4BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMzI4OTMyNDc5" style="float: left;"><img src="http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/yg/logo/us.gif" height="15" width="137" alt="Yahoo!

It was stored for twenty years after my <br> stepfathers passing, and I recently took it into the local Honda shop <br> and had them go through it to get it running again. I was going to <br> wait till spring to sell it as our weather isn't the greatest this <br> time of year, but I will let others decide if they are interested at <br> this time of year or not.

I am the proud owner of an '81 <br> c70. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions about making the front <br> brake more than marginally useful.<br> <br> As we all know front brakes are crucial, doing (usually) most of the <br> stopping work.<br> <br> Sadly, the front brake on my Passport is virtually useless. It slows me <br> down a bit, but the rear brake actually provides much more stopping <br> power. In the wet, however, the rear is wont to lock up, making for a <br> slippery stop.<br> <br> Can anyone suggest repairs or modifications to make that front brake <br> work better? I have put good tires on it but am hoping that I can <br> perform changes to increase stopping power.<br> <br> Are there any disc brake after market parts available? Or, is the best I <br> can do to replace the cable and possibly the drum? It is not badly worn <br> inside the front drum, so I'm at a bit of a loss.<br> <br> Any help is appreciated.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> Anthony<br> </p> </div> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~--> <div style="color: #fff; height: 0;">__._,_.___</div> <div id="ygrp-actbar" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 10px; white-space: nowrap; color: #666; padding-top: 15px;"> <div> <a href="mailto:drtrevster@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20front%20brakes" style="margin-right: 0; padding-right: 0;"> Reply to <span style="font-weight: 700;">sender</span></a> | <a href="mailto:Honda-C70@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20front%20brakes"> Reply to <span style="font-weight: 700;">group</span></a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxb3F0cGJzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBG1zZ0lkAzQ0ODA5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMDIxMQ--?act=reply&messageNum=44809">Reply <span style="font-weight: 700;">via web post</span></a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlbm9kZjNuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMDIxMQ--" style="font-weight: 700;">Start a New Topic</a> </div> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/message/44809;_ylc=X3oDMTM2anM0MmEzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBG1zZ0lkAzQ0ODA5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMDIxMQR0cGNJZAM0NDgwOQ--">Messages in this topic</a> (<span style="font-weight: 700;">1</span>) </div> <!------- Start Nav Bar ------> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <div id="ygrp-vital" style="background-color: #e0ecee; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px;"> <span id="vithd" style="font-weight: bold; color: #333; text-transform: uppercase; ">Recent Activity:</span> <ul style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; display: inline;"> <li style="border-right: 1px solid #000; font-weight: 700; display: inline; padding: 0 5px; margin-left: 0;"> <span class="cat"><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZjltN29iBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZtYnJzBHN0aW1lAzEzMjg5MzAyMTE-?o=6" style="text-decoration: none;">New Members</a></span> <span class="ct" style="color: #ff7900;">16</span> </li> <li style="border-right: 1px solid #000; font-weight: 700; display: inline; padding: 0 5px; margin-left: 0;"> <span class="cat"><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70/spnew;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYWxicjY4BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZwaG90BHN0aW1lAzEzMjg5MzAyMTE-" style="text-decoration: none;">New Photos</a></span> <span class="ct" style="color: #ff7900;">11</span> </li> </ul> <div style="clear: both; padding-top: 2px; color: #1e66ae;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Honda-C70;_ylc=X3oDMTJldWMwaXRuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbWUDMTMyODkzMDIxMQ--" style="text-decoration: none;">Visit Your Group</a> </div> </div> <div id="ygrp-grfd" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; padding: 15px 0;"> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> C70 Passport Not Running Right?<BR> 1970-73 C70 Honda Service Manual: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw">http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw</a><BR> 1970-73 C70 Troubleshooting Guide: <BR> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw">http://tinyurl.com/6ebwtw</a> (scroll to sec.7.1 page 101.jpg)<BR> 1980-83 C70 Honda Service Manual: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hu42c">http://tinyurl.com/hu42c</a><BR> 1980-81 C70 Troubleshooting Guide: <BR> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hu42c">http://tinyurl.com/hu42c</a> (scroll to sec.18-1 page 170.jpg)<BR> 1982-83 C70 Troubleshooting Guide: <BR> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hu42c">http://tinyurl.com/hu42c</a> (scroll to sec. 20-28 page 205.jpg)<BR> <BR> 1980-81 C70 Maintenance Schedule: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/z4zn6">http://tinyurl.com/z4zn6</a><BR> 1982-83 C70 Maintenance Schedule: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/hw35c">http://tinyurl.com/hw35c</a><BR> <BR> More resources for C70 Passports and Cubs:<BR> <a href="http://www.shlaes.com/Vehicles/Scooter.htm">http://www.shlaes.com/Vehicles/Scooter.htm</a><BR> <a href="http://www.velodrome.com/HondaC70/HondaC70.html">http://www.velodrome.com/HondaC70/HondaC70.html</a> <!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --> </div> <div id="ft" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 0 2px 0 0; clear: both;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkcjhyNGs2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIxOTkxNjgEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MzA4NTExBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMzI4OTMwMjEx" style="float: left;"><img src="http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/yg/logo/us.gif" height="15" width="137" alt="Yahoo!

If you<br> factor in what it costs to get a neglected bike into pristine condition it<br> adds up to a lot of money. Hope you find a buyer who appreciates it for its<br> value.

Remember how you promised to clean your room, wash dad's car, brush your teeth, eat your vegetables and even be nice to your sister? That's kind of how we are with Kia's Chicago stunner, the Track'ster concept. Just tell us what we have to do in order for you to put this into production, and consider it done. <span id="more-26702"></span></p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_002.jpg.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26702];player=img;"><img src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_002.jpg-585x388.jpg" alt="" title="Kia Trackster Concept_002.jpg" width="585" height="388" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26709" /></a></p> <p>Loosely based on the pedestrian Kia Soul, the Track'ster concept loses two doors, gets a five-inch wider track and a stretched wheelbase. Power comes from Kia's 2.0-liter turbo four, which puts out 250 horsepower in Track'ster trim, and gets mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Power goes to all four wheels, and the Brembo brakes are the very definition of "overkill." Up front, six-pot calipers grab 14 inch rotors, while the rear gets four-piston calipers and 13.6 inch rotors.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_003.jpg.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26702];player=img;"><img src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_003.jpg-585x414.jpg" alt="" title="Kia Trackster Concept_003.jpg" width="585" height="414" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26710" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_004.jpg.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26702];player=img;"><img src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_004.jpg-585x415.jpg" alt="" title="Kia Trackster Concept_004.jpg" width="585" height="415" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26711" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_005.jpg.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26702];player=img;"><img src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kia-Trackster-Concept_005.jpg-585x388.jpg" alt="" title="Kia Trackster Concept_005.jpg" width="585" height="388" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26712" /></a></p> <p>Kia has no plans to put the Track'ster into production, but quite frankly we're not listening. We know it would be a limited-appeal vehicle, and would have to sell at a ridiculous sticker price, but that doesn't matter because we still want one. The Track'ster is in the same spirit as cars like the Renault R5 Turbo2, the Ford Fiesta SHOgun and even the Smartbusa. It's been a long time since anyone has built something this crazy, and we can't think of a better way for Kia to step up its reputation among enthusiast drivers.</p> <p>Build the Track'ster, and the buyers will come.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AutomotiveAddicts?a=s6wFXdVs8x0:D5-iYootG40:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AutomotiveAddicts?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AutomotiveAddicts/~4/s6wFXdVs8x0?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AutomotiveAddicts/~3/I5qopuGMdpI/lapping-a-snowy-nurburgring-nordschleife-in-a-formula-car-video?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Lapping A Snowy Nürburgring Nordschleife, In A Formula Car: Video</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 09 Feb 2012 06:30 AM PST</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <p><a href="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/XyyVYHE09s-SMf3mmPczJ5uefpw/0/pa"><img src="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/XyyVYHE09s-SMf3mmPczJ5uefpw/0/pi" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/XyyVYHE09s-SMf3mmPczJ5uefpw/1/pa"><img src="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/XyyVYHE09s-SMf3mmPczJ5uefpw/1/pi" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Picture-15.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26696];player=img;"><img src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Picture-15-585x323.jpg" alt="" title="Picture 1" width="585" height="323" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26697" /></a></p> <p>Andy Gülden is the chief instructor for the Nürburgring Driving Academy. In other words, he earns a living teaching people how not to kill themselves on the 'Ring, and occasionally how to lap the Nordschleife in a spirited-but-competent manner. Business, we guess, is slow in the winter, but a driver must constantly practice his skills to stay sharp.</p> <p>We're not sure if piloting a formula car around a snow-and-ice-packed 'Ring demonstrates mad skills or just plain madness, but it makes for entertaining video. The car Gülden is driving weighs just over 1,000 pounds and is powered by a 140-horsepower, 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. They don't make snow tires for formula cars, so he's lapping on what appear to be intermediate rain tires. We'd call them "sub-optimal" for snow and ice.</p> <p>Also sub-optimal was the temperature for Gülden's run, which was hovering around the three-degrees-Fahrenheit mark. In weather like that, we'd prefer our wintertime driving fun behind the wheel of a (winter-tire shod) BMW M3, with working heat and heated seats. </p> <p>Want to get driver training from Gülden and his staff on your next trip to Germany?

Miller, Maassen and the Paul Miller Racing team will once again compete in the supremely competitive GT class for the full 2012 ALMS season.<span id="more-20242"></span></p><p>“We are really excited to announce that we will be using Dunlop tires in 2012,” said team owner Paul Miller. “After learning a lot during our first season in GT last year, we expect to take a few steps forward in 2012. Dunlop has been successful in ALMS competition and we’re looking forward to adding to that record this season.”</p><p>“Our preliminary test to evaluate the tires and the relationship going forward was a positive experience,” said Bryce Miller. “The chemistry between their engineers and us seems to work quite well and we’re excited about the potential to move forward and develop a Porsche tire with them.”</p><p>Dunlop had an outstanding 2011 season. ALMS drivers and teams using Dunlop tires won championships in the LMP1 and GT classes. Dunlop also won the ALMS LMP1 tire manufacturers championship and the LMP2 championship in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) and narrowly missed the ALMS GT tire manufacturers championship. The tire constructor enters its fourth year of ALMS competition in 2012.</p><p><img style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" src="http://global.oneighturbo.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/oneighturbo-Sebring-Winter-Test-2012-Boone-020812-DSC_4642.jpg" alt="no48 Paul Miller Racing Chopard Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, Sebring Winter Test 2012 © James Boone | oneighturbo.com" title="no48 Paul Miller Racing Chopard Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, Sebring Winter Test 2012 © James Boone | oneighturbo.com" border="0" width="480" height="250" /></p><p>Dunlop Motorsport Project Manager, Ben Michell, stated: “We have ambitious plans in 2012 to build on our championship-winning successes, and we see Paul Miller Racing as the perfect partner to help develop our tires for the latest specification Porsche. Dunlop are proud of our multiple championship wins in ALMS in 2011, and we are delighted that the team has chosen Dunlop as they drive for success in 2012.”</p><p>The new tire partnership is only half of what’s new at Paul Miller Racing for 2012. The other exciting addition is a 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, which is visibly wider than its predecessor and includes other significant modifications.</p><p>“It has been a privilege to watch Paul Miller Racing grow over the past several years, and Porsche Motorsport North America is proud that the team has chosen to contest the American Le Mans Series GT class in a 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR,” said Jens Walther, president of Porsche Motorsport North America. “It was great watching the progress of the team in 2011 during its first year in ALMS GT and even better that they are now stepping up with a new car and the new tire manufacturer. We believe in competition and welcome Dunlop as a new tire manufacturer on the RSR – there are now three Porsche customer teams with four cars on three different tires.”</p><p>The new, Dunlop-shod No. 48 Chopard Porsche makes its public debut in this week’s annual American Le Mans Series winter test at Sebring International Raceway. The test will represent the first seat time in the car for Miller and Maassen, and they’re eager to get going.</p><p>“I haven’t driven the new car, but I’ve heard a lot of good things,” said Bryce Miller. “There has been some necessary changes made to the car that bring it up to date with some of the changes that the competitors have made to their cars in recent years. The refresh was really necessary and most everyone is generally excited about the changes that have been made.”</p><p>“I am really excited about the new Porsche car and the new Dunlop tires,” added Maassen. “It’s going to change the game for us. We are optimistic that we will improve, and I am very happy that the Paul Miller team decided to let me be part of an interesting and promising program in 2012!”</p><p>The 2012 ALMS season begins with the 60th Anniversary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring fueled by Fresh from Florida on Saturday, March 17.</p><p><strong>Photo: 2012 © James Boone | oneighturbo.com</strong></p><p><small>- Paul Miller Racing</small>a</p><p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href='http://www.oneighturbo.com/motorsports/alms/gallery-sebring-winter-test-2012/' rel='bookmark' title='Gallery: Sebring Winter Test 2012'>Gallery: Sebring Winter Test 2012</a></li></ol></p><p>You're reading <a href="http://www.oneighturbo.com/motorsports/alms/paul-miller-racing-adds-dunlop-tires-to-its-arsenal/">Paul Miller Racing adds Dunlop tires to its arsenal</a> originally posted on <a href="http://www.oneighturbo.com">oneighturbo.com</a>.

Now, I have never done this before on this bike, but when the light turned green, I pulled down on the throttle and it just wound up. Damn, forgot to take it out of neutral!

Well,in the box was a little dog<br> which looked like a Pug or Pug mix.Still not impressed? The dog had a little<br> helmet on and
GOGGLES ! Okay,now we were impressed/intrigued/amused.So the<br> light turns green and we're off.I was in no real hurry (that in itself is<br> odd) and didn't want to just spin him and the dog around as we blew by<br> them,besides we were kinda enjoying watching the little one-man/one-dog<br> circus,so we just tooled along behind them knowing when he topped out at 45<br> or 50,or whatever,we would blitz them and be on our way.As we approached<br> that speed and I was getting ready to move out and go around,things got<br> really weird! 50

By now my wife was tapping me on the<br> shoulder and yelling "can he do that"? Here we were running down a major two<br> lane (U.S. hwy.11) over 70 mph following this guy with his dog who was,by<br> now,hanging out as far as he could into the wind and obviously having the<br> time of his life! I thought I was going to have to pull over because we were<br> laughing hysterically.We finally regained our composure and went on by<br> waving to him and he just had this huge grin on his face that I can see to<br> this day.Now,fast forward about 8 months.I get a call from a buddy telling<br> me about a guy he had just met and was riding with who had a Moto Guzzi for<br> sale.Have I mentioned that I like anything with two wheels and a motor,but I<br> LOVE Guzzis.Anyway (to shorten this up a bit),turns out that not only was my<br> buddy riding with this guy with the Guzzi but guess who was with<br> them?Bingo,the "Circus Guy".So
..shortly afterward,I actually got to meet<br> the guy and hear all about the dog AND the amazing C70.The guy is a wizard<br> on bikes,has a little no-name shop and works on whatever comes in.The C70<br> has a 120,or maybe bigger,engine in it that he said bolts right in.He also<br> said the stock wire spoke wheels aren't really up to the task of the extra<br> power and speed over the long haul.So he got mags off something else<br> that,again,I think were pretty much a bolt on deal.He rides this thing every<br> day just like most folks do a big street bike and loves it.Oh yes,one sad<br> note.The little dog died(not from an accident),he was old and finally<br> passed.The guy isn't married and the dog was like his best friend.So,he now<br> has a new dog and is continuing right on as before.Anyway,just thought some<br> of you might find that interesting.Steve (Fossil) <br> <br> From: <a href="mailto:Honda-C70%40yahoogroups.com">Honda-C70@yahoogroups.com</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:Honda-C70%40yahoogroups.com">Honda-C70@yahoogroups.com</a>] On Behalf<br> Of braebyrn<br> Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 12:01 PM<br> To: <a href="mailto:Honda-C70%40yahoogroups.com">Honda-C70@yahoogroups.com</a><br> Subject: [Honda-C70] Re: Selling my 2200 mile 1973 C70<br> <br> Bill,<br> I saw that and think what a up close way to view a part of our world.

Complete with all plastics, original manual. Broken kick starter shaft. I've got about $150 into it in parts and maintenance items. <br> <br> Sold a CM91 w/ 3k miles 5/10 condition no title for $500 a year ago. It looked good from 20 ft and I cobbled it together from parts on ebay and a 62 C100 parts bike. <br> <br> Having a title definitely helps, at least here in Ohio where it is difficult to obtain a lost title. Without knowing condition I would say $600-$800 would seem reasonable for a running bike with title.

The new Buick LaCrosse eAssist is essentially a mild hybrid derived from the outgoing Malibu Hybrid.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-side.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26703];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26722" title="2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist technology" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-side.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="379" /></a></p> <p>The ultimate goal of the Buick LaCrosse eAssist was to alienate preconceived pessimism of a traditional hybrid but still give drivers near-hybrid fuel economy figures. After spending a full week in the new 2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist, I can certainly say Buick has accomplished this task.</p> <p>The new 2012 Buick LaCross eAssist, or what some will call the LaCrosse hybrid, kills two birds with one stone. First of all, last year's base LaCrosse's 2.4-liter engine by itself with 182 horsepower and 172 ft-lbs. of torque was simply underpowered for the 3,800 pounds-plus vehicle. Lackluster performance is already a presumption for Buick in the minds of enthusiasts; with last year's base 4-cylinder version of the LaCrosse, it only reemphasized that testament. With a mild-hybrid eAssist setup, the same 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine gets a much-needed boost from an electric motor. Basically, the electric assist makes all of the difference in the world during full throttle. Heavy acceleration is much more responsive while fuel consumption numbers are improved by as much as 6mpg city and 6mpg highway over last year's 4-cylinder model.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-battery-motor.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26703];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26714" title="2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist technology" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-battery-motor.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="390" /></a></p> <p>On the new LaCrosse eAssist, a belt-driven electric motor is mounted on the 4-cylinder engine in place of a traditional alternator. Working in sync with the gas engine, the electric motor is able to provide an additional 15 horsepower and 79 ft-lbs. of torque to the equation. Moreover, the new LaCrosse eAssist has regenerative braking to charge the lithium-ion battery pack mounted behind the rear seats. The battery takes up about 40% of the trunk space and partially blocks the pass-through, which would otherwise be fully open with the 60/40 split seatbacks folded down.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-cluster.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26703];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26715" title="2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist technology" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-cluster.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="299" /></a></p> <p>With everything working in sync, as the information color LCD dashboard charging graphic displays, the new 2012 LaCrosse eAssist gets 25mpg city and 36mpg highway. I had no problems hitting those figures especially in heavy city traffic. During all stops, provided the engine has heated up to normal operating temperature, the LaCrosse eAssist shuts down the gasoline engine and the battery takes over powering accessory items. During coasting and coming to a stop, fuel is cut and the electric motor takes over by regenerating energy to charge the battery. The system works seamlessly and virtually eliminates any type of jerkiness you get with other traditional hybrid systems when the engine starts up for accelerating from a dead-stop. During any type of acceleration load, the gas engine is used to propel the vehicle. Only under heavy loads or at full-throttle is the electric motor used for additional power output.</p> <p>The new 2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist uses a re-worked 6-speed automatic transmission to direct power to the front wheels. The new unit reduces friction and improves shifting response. Additionally, a lower final-drive ratio is used to allow the transmission to hold a gear longer reducing unnecessary shifts, which could reduce fuel consumption.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-rear-side.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26703];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26721" title="2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist technology" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-rear-side.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="390" /></a></p> <p>Low rolling resistance tires, said not to compromise handling, give the LaCrosse a smooth and quiet ride. Inside the cabin of the new 2012 LaCrosse eAssist you hardly notice road noise. If anything, you hear the buzz of the engine before any road noise enters the cabin at reasonable speeds.</p> <p>Buick has done an excellent job isolating the driver from the road. That can be a good or bad thing depending on what type of driver you are. The ever-day commuter that could care less about being an enthusiastic driver will enjoy the isolation, while the avid enthusiast would dread the bleak ride. However, the LaCrosse has a smooth ride without too much float. Engineers did a good job with giving the new LaCrosse proper dampening as to not be excessively bouncy just to give passengers a smooth ride.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-interior.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26703];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26719" title="2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist technology" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-buick-lacrosse-eassist-interior.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="390" /></a></p> <p>The new LaCrosse has plenty of space in the front and rear areas to comfortably seat 5 adults with no issues. The dashboard of the LaCrosse appears to use quality materials even if they are mostly consisted of plastics. Interior trim pieces blend a luxurious appeal into the spacious cabin. Truck space is somewhat hindered from the battery pack, although, not as much as traditional hybrid vehicles. The new 2012 LaCrosse eAssist uses a much smaller pack than other hybrids. This is mainly because the electric motor is not required to be as robust, nor does it need to handle the duty of propelling the vehicle on its own.</p> <p>My new 2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist Premium 1 Group test vehicle is loaded up with several options such as touch-screen GPS navigation system and leather seating surfaces. Virtually all of the options found on a loaded-up LaCrosse V6 can be had on the new 4-cylinder eAssist premium models. My LaCrosse tester was equipped with a driver's convince package adding adaptive HID headlights (automatically swivel with the steering wheel), heads-up display and blindspot zone alert. Also added to the options list is an entertainment package including a nice sounding Harmon Kardon stereo system and rear-seat DVD player LCD screens.</p> <p>The as-tested price of my 2012 Buick LaCrosse came to $37,980. To bring the cost down, you can opt for a base LaCrosse eAssist starting at just $30,170 with the same economical drivetrain. With such a price point, the new 2012 Buck LaCrosse eAssist undercuts the price of conventional hybrids within in its size class. I can conclude that the LaCrosse eAssist is a good value and alterative to other hybrids considering the steadily rising gas prices.</p> <a

interesting way of expressing his opinion about every vehicle that he drives. To say the least, he is brutally honest in most cases and sometimes it does not sit well with the manufacturer or die-hard enthusiasts of a particular car. Now comes Chris' chance spend a good 20 to 30 minutes behind the wheel of the Toyota 86, or aptly known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ here in America.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/chris-harris-toyota-86-2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26687];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26690" title="chris-harris-toyota-86-2" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/chris-harris-toyota-86-2.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="300" /></a></p> <p>Chris Harris heads to Spain and takes the new Toyota 86 for a flogging.

We'll reserve judgement until we actually get a chance to drive an ATS (preferably back-to-back with a comparable, 2012 BMW 3-Series), but we sincerely hope that Cadillac doesn't pull a bait-and-switch on us. The 3-Series line includes a lot of different models, so if you're emphasizing the "sport sedan" characteristics of the ATS, it's only fair to throw down against the new 3-Series Sport Line, with the variable sport steering and the adaptive M suspension.</p> <p>And while we're complaining, enough with using the "Green Hell" Nürburgring Nordschleife reference in every single ad. That horse has been flogged to death; in fact, it's been flogged to death, buried, dug up, flogged some more and then buried again. It's clear: you tested the ATS on one of the world's most challenging racetracks to fine-tune the suspension, chassis, throttle and brake settings. That should yield a sedan with impressive handling, but we won't know until we drive one.</p> <p>We've got some concerns about the 270-horsepower turbo four that Cadillac is using in the ATS, too. We've driven the engine in Buick Regal GS trim, and to be honest, it wasn't that impressive. Granted, the ATS is a lighter car, and its rear-drive platform will certainly improve handling. Still, we can't help but think that Cadillac is setting some unreasonable expectations of the new ATS before the car even hits the streets.</p> <p>If it's as good as you're telling us, finding buyers won't be a problem. If it isn't, all the "Green Hell" references in the world won't help to move inventory.</p> <p><object width="585" height="327"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KxP8sNLgV-M?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KxP8sNLgV-M?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="585" height="327" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AutomotiveAddicts?a=kMu_07IMRGc:L_zdY-qfvG4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AutomotiveAddicts?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AutomotiveAddicts/~4/kMu_07IMRGc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AutomotiveAddicts/~3/eob5botwVSs/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-introduced-at-chicago-auto-show?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe Introduced at Chicago Auto Show</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 08 Feb 2012 07:16 AM PST</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <p><a href="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/i0TwoxW-zltm6WSJElgDtpiq_pY/0/pa"><img src="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/i0TwoxW-zltm6WSJElgDtpiq_pY/0/pi" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/i0TwoxW-zltm6WSJElgDtpiq_pY/1/pa"><img src="https://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/v5K3myKwTMkg6No1LgUeNAeuj-g/i0TwoxW-zltm6WSJElgDtpiq_pY/1/pi" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26664];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26666" title="Hyundai" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-1-585x389.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="389" /></a></p> <p>The <a title="Chicago Auto Show" href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/tag/chicago-auto-show" target="_blank">Chicago Auto Show</a> has many surprises this year including a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe to compete with other Asian compact coupes on the market. It doesn't take much brain power to realize that Hyundai has taken aim on rivals such as the Honda Civic Coupe when you look at the design of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe alone.</p> <p><span id="more-26664"></span></p> <p>The new 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe will be powered by a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine with an output of 148 horsepower and 131 lb-ft. of torque mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-6.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26664];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26671" title="Hyundai" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-6-585x389.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="389" /></a></p> <p>The design of the 2013 Elantra Coupe is said to be a unique "Fluidic Sculpture". Best of all, the new 2013 Elantra Coupe 6-speed manual transmission version will tout a 40-mpg highway rating and feature a longer wheelbase and over-all width than that of the Honda Civic Coupe. The new 2013 Elantra Coupe actually has been slotted into the mid-sized category because of its larger dimensions. The 2013 Elantra Coupe looks to be a winner in my book already just from its looks. It is sure to be a winner in other books considering the 4-door Hyundai Elantra took the crown for <a title="2012 Detroit Auto Show: Hyundai Elantra Crowned 2012 North American Car of the Year" href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/26026/2012-detroit-auto-show-hyundai-elantra-crowned-2012-north-american-car-of-the-year" target="_blank">2012 North American Car of the Year</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-8.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-26664];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26673" title="Hyundai" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-8-585x413.jpg" alt="" width="585" height="413" /></a></p> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-1.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-1-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-2.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="73" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-2-150x73.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-3.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-3-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-4.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-4-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-5.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-5-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-6.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-6-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-7.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-7-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-8.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="105" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-8-150x105.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-9.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sbalbum-26664];player=img;' title='Hyundai'><img width="150" height="99" src="http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-9-150x99.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="Hyundai" title="Hyundai" /></a> <a href='http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2013-hyundai-elantra-coupe-10.jpg' rel='shadowbox[sb
