Yes, the story here is quite interesting and instructive.
in 1998, I finally found the strength to part with his car "IZH-Kombi" in 1992, which, I confess, I drank a lot of blood and even more siphoned off funds, although it was purchased by me brand new, directly from factory. Suspension and drivetrain of this "vehicle" was done very badly and in 4 years of operation, and very gentle (only pavement without riding in the winter) I had twice(!) to change the gearbox, to replace more than once all the shock absorbers, ball joints and front springs, and even the front beam, so as it turned out, what exactly from-for it (factory defect beam was "sweep", as people say: "helicopter")at speeds above 80 km/h the front wheels started to dance "shimmy" by smashing everything else. In General, somehow repaired and sold, good for a view of the machine was good as new.
A bit added to the proceeds from the sale of the Property, and bought "the Zhiguli" VAZ 2106, also 1992 release. This machine seemed just perfection! Drove 120 km/h without any problem (at Those speeds above 90 it seemed to me deadly) and ate only 7-7,5 liters of gasoline per 100 km.
However, I could not pass inspection due to high co content in the exhaust. At the service station the mechanic told me that nothing can be done - it is necessary to say, to buy a new carb, as a "screw" (I'm not good at these things, and therefore can't say what it is) twisted to the limit and reduce the co content with this carb is not possible.
Time was difficult, "poslediplomnoe", the Bank where I worked, ordered "to live long", and buy a new carb I was Oh as a reluctance – machine-that went!
Then my brother offered me to use the "Economos" (it was called somehow differently, it seems "Raduga", though – I don't remember), who kindly gave me to pass inspection.
The effect was just stunning! The measurements showed that the co content is consistent with the almost "Euro-3", although if such a standard is not in Russia was not. In General, the mountain air, not exhaust !
But that's not all. Just then, in the summer of 1999, I often went, on the lake. Seliger, where before the default time to purchase a "bare" area, with a view to put a summer house (built it in 2007!) So, the distance to this area from my house is 400 km That is the round-trip turns out to 800km. I was happily surprised that the first trip to Seliger to me is more than enough for ONE full tank of gasoline – i.e. "begging" to return home – not on fire! This meant that the tank was left for at least another 5L of petrol. Now naked calculation: 45 liters of petrol (nominal fuel tank Lada – 44л), 800 km, it turns out – 5,625 litres / 100 km! And when you consider that 5 liters remained?.. Just – fantastic.
Needless to say that the "pill" I am a brother and have not returned, and only patted him on the shoulder, a kind, brotherly...
Now I have Korean "Hyundai Tucson" and Ekonorm is still working, although the effect is modest – instead of 9-10l 100km the machine began to eat 8-8,5 litres, but, frankly, very carefully, at optimal regime (2200-2500 revs of the engine per minute) I have not tested it. The machine is powerful and keeps quiet on the highway 120-130 km/h, while the "economy mode" is only 80-90.
And the front Room is another story.
"The parlor," I also gave my bro at the end of 2002(not that "the rich Pinocchio", but just very kind and understanding someone else's trouble man), who bought them from two pieces, referring to me, poor. I then frankly misery: a year as could not find a worthy work and unworthy morally could not afford it.
So, I wore this "Chamber" in the inside pocket of his jacket, and to be honest had forgotten about her, as suddenly, after about six months calling me old College friend and offers a job – Yes some! – content Manager in the largest cellular phone company with an initial salary of $1500! A-DANCE-DO! After a year I got $3000...
Oh, and one more thing. When I suddenly found a long lost Style in my jacket pocket, so said my wife a suggestion that, perhaps, it is because the Room my business is doing better. My wife asked me to bring her anything I find in the "Parlor" on the Internet, and when I brought it, she simply took it from me and now puts on her water we all drink. It's hard to tell for the rest of the family (I have three kids), but I am here for the fourth year do not know what "aggravation of ulcer of the stomach" something happened with me in previous years with an enviable regularity: in the spring (March April) and autumn (November-December).
Such are the cases.
Oh! How many dashed!
Nadot, perhaps, place it in a separate thread in the forum...<
). However, I digress. So, in 17 km from the town of Ostashkov in the village. Svetlitsa (with such emphasis!) the monastery "Nilova Pustyn". Perhaps this fact was the cause of my "wrong" accent, which I hope will be approved and in the mouths of others. But there really saints! With some special energy.
