K4M Engine Repair

The video below shows how a typical K4M engine repair is carried out on Logan.

H4MK - Renault Logan 1.6 liter engine. 8-valve 113 hp

In 2104, Renault Logan 2 of the Togliatti assembly began to install a new 16-valve 1.6-liter engine. Atmospheric H4M engine(or HR16 according to the Nissan classification) has a power of 113 hp. and is also installed on Renault Duster, Captur, Lada X-Ray, Nissan Sentra and Nissan Zhuk.

It differs from the engine of the previous generation K 4M (volume 1.6 liters, power 102 hp) with increased torque (152 versus 145 Nm), but the maximum torque is reached at 4000 rpm instead of 3750 rpm. IN new engine Renault Logan 2 built in variable valve timing system, and instead of a timing belt, a timing chain finally appeared. In addition, the final drive ratio has been reduced: from 4.07: 1 for Logan and Sandero.

Engine Model - H4M
Working volume - 1598 cm3
Number of cylinders - 4
Number of valves - 16
Cylinder diameter - 78 mm
Stroke - 83.6 mm
HP power - 114 at 6000 rpm
Power kW - 83.8 at 6000 rpm
Torque - 142 Nm at 4000 rpm
Engine power system - distributed injection with electronic control
Compression ratio - 10.7
Timing Drive - Chain
Maximum speed - 172 kilometers per hour
Acceleration to the first hundred - 11.9 seconds
Fuel consumption in the city - 8.9 liters
Combined fuel consumption - 6.4 liters
Fuel consumption on the highway - 5.5 liters

Advantages of the H4M motor

The main advantage of the new motor was improved elasticity and increased traction on low revs. But there is no increase in driving dynamics at all. Top speed increased by only 2 km/h (172 km/h). But the fuel consumption of the new Logan in the combined cycle reduced from 7.1 to 6.4 liters. per 100 km.

Cons of the H4M motor

Sedans and hatchbacks with the new engine will only be offered with a manual transmission. Modifications with a four-speed "automatic" will continue to equip the old K4M engine Spanish production, although the extra power would be better combined with an automatic. It would be logical to appear with a new engine and CVT, like the Kaptur crossover, but so far this is not even in the plans.

H4M Engine Repair

Applicability on cars

Budget models Renault cars Logan 1.4 and Logan 1.6 for almost a decade of presence on Russian roads managed to win the recognition of many thousands of motorists. The concept of a French manufacturer who decided back in 1998 to create an inexpensive and practical a car, designed for emerging markets, in Russia received the most triumphant continuation and unexpected development.

If in 2005 it all started on a small site of the Avtoframos enterprise in Moscow with a “screwdriver” assembly of several thousand cars a month, today it is Volzhsky car factory builds its annual plans based on a whole "Logan" model scattering: Renault Logan, Renault Sandero, Lada Largus. Sales of these three models in the country in 2014 exceeded 160 thousand pieces.

To a large extent, such popularity of these Renault models was ensured by the use of proven and well-proven single-shaft engines as power units on other machines of the 8V concern. internal combustion(ICE) series K7J 1.4 l and K7M 1.6 l. The flagship of the line for Renault Logan, it is customary to consider a 16V four-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with the K4M index, the production of which, in addition to the parent company Renault Espana. It was also mastered at AvtoVAZ production sites. This 16-cap engine with decent technical characteristics is still equipped with other Renault models (Sandero, Duster, Kangoo, Megane, Fluence), as well as Lada Largus and Nissan Almera G11.

Design features and specifications of internal combustion engines

The remaining solutions of the 1.4 engine are standard and do not differ in any way from other four-stroke 4-cylinder single-shaft engines of the SOHC type: cylinder arrangement is in-line vertical, 2 valves per cylinder, timing drive from toothed belt, liquid cooling and a combined lubrication system (grease is supplied to the most loaded parts of the internal combustion engine under pressure, to all others - by simple spraying). K7J is more than 400 thousand kilometers. Motor 1.4 provides the car with the following dynamics: the maximum speed is 162 km / h, it is gaining a hundred in 13 seconds.

Renault Logan K7M 710 engine and its successor K7M 800 (manufactured by the same Automobile Dacia) 1.6 l and 86 hp. (K7M 800 - 82 hp) are almost identical in design to the K7J, they also have, but they have a piston stroke increased by 10.5 mm, obtained by changing the height of the block.

A different clutch and flywheel (larger diameter) are also used, and the gearbox housing has minor reshaping. Resource K7M also exceeds 400 thousand km in mileage. Dynamic characteristics motor: speed at maximum 172 km/h, 100 km/h - in 11.9 sec unlike 1.4.

The motor accelerates the car to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds, reaching a maximum of 180 km - not bad performance. frankly weaknesses in this unit is no longer there: the necessary changes have been made to the system in terms of the pump and thermostat, and the ignition module has also undergone refinement.

Advantages and disadvantages of power units

And in the dispute between a 16V motor and an 8V motor, the undisputed leader is the first sample. The only characteristic in which 16V loses to its opponent is "elasticity". For the rest of the same characteristics, 16V is better better. Renault's liquid-cooled V16 engine is simply much more modern and gives more options to the driver.

Engines of the Renault Logan model, endowed with a cylinder capacity of 1.6 liters and characterized by two power options: 82 and 102 liters. pp., are most common in the vast domestic car market among the entire list of modifications of this model. These motors have proven to be reliable and maintainable. The resource of the engine is very large. They can please the owner with such relevant advantages that meet the requirements of advanced engine building, such as:

reliability of elements in the cooling system;
increased engine resource;
compliance of the maximum power indicator with modern trends in the automotive industry.

This is evidenced by numerous reviews of the owners.

About the history of development and design features of the units

The 1.6 and 16-valve engine has differences from the newest modifications, they are the lack of a valve timing control mechanism, such an engine device significantly reduced the dynamic capabilities of the car. But among the advantages remained excellent maintainability and durability, that is, increased engine life, thanks to simple design solutions from the manufacturer.

A 1.4-liter 8-valve engine is incorporated into the engine device, which confirms the identity of the layout and the similarity of the design aspects of both engines.

The changes affected the following components and systems:

the volume of cylinders has increased (engine 1.6 liters), which made it possible to increase power in tandem with torque and improve the dynamic characteristics of the model;
the output of the unit increased by 11% (up to 82 “horses” for the 8-valve version), such an engine arrangement led to an increase in torque to a mark of 132 Nm;
the cooling system has undergone an adjustment (the need for this refinement is caused by an increase in engine power);
cardinal constructive changes the cooling circuit was not received, and its elements were modified in order to achieve greater performance, for which some new components were integrated, which led to an increase in the resource and efficiency of the system, especially in critical operating modes;
power increase up to 102 hp from. achieved through the use of new components in the piston-cylinder group and the valve mechanism:
the number of valves doubled (from 8 to 16), which ensured better filling of the combustion chambers with a mixture and led to an increase in power and dynamic capabilities;
the motor resource has significantly increased due to the use of parts from new, more durable alloys;
after applying the previously mentioned design solutions in updated motors Renault Logan developers managed to achieve significant fuel efficiency:
1.5 liters at a distance of 100 km on a 1.6 engine with 16 valves;
1.0 liter in the case of 8-valve engine versions.

All these innovations made it possible to substantially make the 1.6 liter engine. more modern (especially the 16-valve version), the engine life has become higher. Although the developers did not apply progressive and innovative design solutions, this engine upgrade for Renault Logan still made it possible to attract a large army of new potential customers to the updated model.

In addition to constructive innovations, these units began to comply with the requirements of Euro-5 environmental standards. In the future, the manufacturer of models Renault Logan planned to bring the engine device to the level of compliance with Euro-6/7 standards.

Updating the 1.6-liter unit was not limited to the use of a 16-valve head mechanism. Achieving an increase in traction and power characteristics was carried out thanks to significant transformations, including:

increased intake and exhaust systems, which was a necessary measure to bring the motors to the advanced level of the environmental standard;
the use of new elements in the cooling circuit, which made it possible to significantly improve the efficiency of its functioning;
replacement of the generator with an increased performance option for the Renault Logan model, which made it possible to cope with the increased loads on this node (now the power varies from the model configuration)

On the durability and maintainability of motors

The experience of operating 1.6-liter engines did not reveal significant shortcomings in both modifications of 8 or 16 valves (16-valve with a power of 102 hp and 8-valve with 82 "power"). According to the manufacturer, the resource of these units is approximately 200 thousand km, and what value this parameter will actually have depends on the owner of Renault Logan. Accordingly, the reviews of car owners about this are positive.

If everyone maintenance work performed in a timely manner and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, then the engine life can reach 400 thousand km, which is confirmed by numerous real examples. The only unpleasant surprise may be a broken timing belt, as evidenced by the reviews. In the event of such an accident, the pistons collide with the valves, causing them to bend or completely break.

Summing up

The considered power units of 8 or 16 valves are traditionally for the French manufacturer of all models, including Renault Logan, they are unpretentious in operation and wear resistant. In terms of dynamic performance, these motors are not "sporty", but they will not allow the owner to keep up with heavy traffic on the road. Thanks to their balanced performance, 8 or 16 valve engines have earned the trust of many Renault Logan car enthusiasts. Their feedback is very, very positive. There were cases when the motors failed at runs of 100 thousand km due to defects in the crankshaft liners, but these precedents were not characterized by mass character.

Applicability on cars

Budget car models Renault Logan 1.4 and Logan 1.6 for almost a decade of presence on Russian roads have managed to win the recognition of many thousands of motorists. The concept of the French manufacturer, which decided back in 1998 to create an inexpensive and practical passenger car designed for emerging markets, received the most triumphant continuation and unexpected development in Russia. If in 2005 it all started on a small site of the Avtoframos enterprise in Moscow with a “screwdriver” assembly of several thousand cars a month, today the Volga Automobile Plant is already building its annual plans based on a whole “Logan” model scattering: Renault Logan, Renault Sandero, Lada Largus. Sales of these three models in the country in 2014 exceeded 160,000 units.

To a large extent, such popularity of these Renault models was ensured by the use of proven and well-proven single-shaft internal combustion engines (ICE) of the K7J 1.4 l and K7M 1.6 l series as power units. The flagship of the line for Renault Logan is considered to be a 16V four-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with the K4M index, the production of which, in addition to the parent company Renault Espana, is also mastered at AvtoVAZ production sites. This 16-cap engine with decent technical characteristics is still equipped with other Renault models (Sandero, Duster, Kangoo, Megane, Fluence), as well as Lada Largus and Nissan Almera G11.

Design features and specifications of internal combustion engines

Engine design K7J (manufacturer Automobile Dacia, Romania) 1.4 l / 75 hp inherited from fairly old Renault Corporation engines of the 80s (ExJ series) and therefore looks somewhat archaic: here is an unusual oil pump chain drive used on units with lower camshafts, and ancient timing rocker arms. The remaining solutions of the 1.4 engine are standard and do not differ in any way from other four-stroke 4-cylinder single-shaft engines of the SOHC type: the cylinder arrangement is in-line vertical, 2 valves per cylinder, timing drive from a toothed belt, liquid cooling and a combined lubrication system (lubrication is supplied to the most loaded parts of the internal combustion engine under pressure, to all others - by simple spraying). K7J is more than 400 thousand kilometers. Motor 1.4 provides the car with the following dynamics: the maximum speed is 162 km / h, it picks up a hundred in 13 seconds.

Renault Logan K7M 710 engine and its successor K7M 800 (manufactured by the same Automobile Dacia) 1.6 l and 86 hp. (K7M 800 - 82 hp) are almost identical in design to the K7J, also have liquid cooling, but have an increased piston stroke of 10.5 mm, obtained by changing the height of the block. A different clutch and flywheel (larger diameter) are also used, and the gearbox housing has minor reshaping. The K7M resource also exceeds 400 thousand km in mileage. Dynamic characteristics of the motor: speed at a maximum of 172 km / h, 100 km / h - in 11.9 seconds, unlike 1.4.

The greatest differences in design and performance are observed in the K4M engine, despite the fact that this ICE is 1.6 l and 102 hp. is also just another development of the K7M series. All-new 16-valve cylinder head with two lightweight camshafts and a new piston system. Here, finally, the need for constant adjustment of the internal combustion engine valves through fairly short runs has been eliminated, eliminated by the simple use of well-known hydraulic compensators. The motor accelerates the car to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds, reaching a maximum of 180 km - very good performance. There are no frankly weak points in this unit: the necessary changes have been made to the system in terms of the pump and thermostat, and the ignition module has also undergone refinement.

Advantages and disadvantages of power units

Considerable experience in operating Renault cars with all three types of liquid-cooled engines allows us to build a fairly objective picture of their strengths and weaknesses, moreover, for the two models K7J and K7M, these characteristics are almost identical, and only the K4M engine has significant differences due to more modern technological solutions, and which one is better is up to the buyers to decide.

Advantages of K7J and K7M:

low cost and simplicity of engine design;
reliability: proven motor resource is more than 400 thousand km;
versatility and maintainability;
simplicity Maintenance;
high torque;
good “elasticity” of engines, equal to 1.83.

Disadvantages of K7J and K7M:

relatively high fuel consumption;
instability of revolutions when idling;
the absence of hydraulic compensators in the design, as a result, the need for constant adjustment of the valves (after 20-30 thousand km);
“Bending” of valves in the event of a sudden break in the timing belt;
increased “fluidity” of crankshaft oil seals;
poor reliability of the elements of the cooling system;
noise and vibration.

The advantages of the K7M model over the K7J include only increased by 12% maximum power and 11% maximum torque. But the 1.6 liter internal combustion engine pays for these advantages with a 4.5% increase in appetite, so which is better is a moot point.

Advantages of K4M:

reliability, practical resource exceeds 400 thousand kilometers;
compliance with Euro-4 environmental standards;
increased power (102 hp);
low noise and vibration resistance;
more modern and reliable cooling system.

Compared to 8-valve engines, the K4M 16V is much quieter, not subject to vibrations and has the same resource, but much more power and torque.

Disadvantages of the K4M motor:

expensive spare parts;
“bending” of valves when the belt breaks;
weak "elasticity" of the engine, equal to the value of 1.53, as a result - problems with the acceleration of the car when overtaking.

Thus, a detailed analysis of the technical characteristics of all three ICE models, as well as practical experience in operating Renault Logan with these power plants, allows you to decide which engine is better. A more powerful liquid-cooled 1.6 liter internal combustion engine is still somewhat preferable to its “big brother” 1.4 liter. Power 75 hp simply not enough for comfortable driving a loaded car either on a country road or in short “rushes” around the city. And in the dispute between a 16V motor and an 8V motor, the undisputed leader is the first sample. The only characteristic on which 16V loses to its opponent is “elasticity”. For the rest of the same characteristics, 16V is better better. Renault's liquid-cooled V16 engine is simply much more modern and gives more options to the driver.

The attitude towards the French budget sedan is ambiguous. Many consider Renault Logan one of the best cars in its segment, some even call it invincible. It is interesting that the Romanian Dacia, from which the modern Logan grew, is quite a simple car; in terms of technology, this car is not too ahead of the domestic Lada. However, we have much higher confidence in foreign cars, which is probably why the popularity of Logan has almost caught up with the sales of the most popular models Lada. Yes, and the cooperation between VAZ and Renault also shows a certain confidence of the buyer in the brand, today Renault is considered almost a domestic representative of the market. Renault Logan 1.6 - optimal choice among the engines presented today. Moreover, in Russia there are no more options technical equipment not presented.

Many are interested in the issue of fuel consumption for Renault Logan with a 1.6 liter engine. Let's start with the fact that there are two engines with this volume. The first shows 82 horses and has only 8 valves in the design, and the second, a 16-valve unit, with the same volume offers 102 horsepower. Fuel consumption will be almost the same, but the features of the trip on various power units will differ. It is important to get more information about what exactly is important to you in a car before choosing one or another engine. Although the difference in price is small, but in operation you will notice certain differences in power plants. Take the help of a test drive to determine the necessary features of the car that you like the most.

Features of the 1.6 8V engine for Renault Logan

French budget sedan is very good in its performance, buyers especially like it last generation cars. However, there are certain drawbacks that make the car not the most amazing in the competition. Of course, for the promised 450,000 rubles starting price, you don’t expect to get something supernatural. However, for this money you can only buy Renault Logan 1.6 8V in the basic configuration. The engine has not so high power, but is quite reliable and durable power unit. Such a car is too weak for the track, but it is perfect for the city. Main Features power unit the following:

a volume of 1.6 liters has become an excellent quality, voluminous units are a rarity in our time;
just 82 horsepower might disappoint you, but the torque is early and very thoughtful;
boxes are available mechanical and automatic, on the machine the engine is in no hurry to go anywhere;
fuel consumption on mechanics in the urban cycle is 9.5 liters, in the suburban - 7.5 liters of 95 gasoline;
on the machine, the consumption will increase and amount to 11 and 8.5 liters, respectively, in the city and in the highway mode.

The company also offered robotic box gears for this engine, but it has not received a certain distribution. By virtue of its sufficient modern design certain characteristics of Logan are expected at a higher quality level. In the basic version, the machine is equipped with a 5-speed manual, which will seriously save you money on fuel. With all its advantages, this weak engine can hardly be called economical. In Europe, Logan is sold with power units of 0.9 and 1.2 liters, which consume up to 7 liters of gasoline in the city and up to 5 liters on the highway. So far, these versions have not reached Russia.

Features of the 1.6 16V engine for Renault Logan

You will have to pay 20-30 thousand rubles more for this engine, given the completely identical configurations. You also need to consider that with this power unit there is no basic configuration, so the most cheap version will cost 500,000 rubles with a little. It is also interesting that the company does not offer machines and robots - only mechanical box gears in 5 steps without alternatives. On the one hand, this upsets the buyer due to the lack of choice, on the other hand, it gives certain advantages, because you do not have to choose features and specifications cars. The main features of the 1.6 16V engine for Renault Logan are as follows:

the power unit has a normal volume, it does not have turbines and other artificial ways to increase potential;
a 5-speed manual gearbox has certain advantages in the form of high quality and durability;
the engine is torquey and dynamic, the difference in power is felt, the unit produces 102 horsepower, which is 20 horses more than the younger one;
for the track this engine fits much better, even if it is not sold with automatic boxes gear;
fuel consumption in urban mode will be a little more than 10 liters, but here the consumption is highly dependent on driving habits;
on the highway, fuel consumption will drop to 8 liters per hundred and will significantly save money on the trip.

You can use a more powerful powertrain developed by Renault. But buying a car with this engine will be somewhat more expensive than a model with a junior unit. Again, there will be only one advice for choosing a car - you should go for a test drive and look for opportunities for a comfortable ride, excellent performance and suitable habits of a car. Despite the rather high popularity of Logan development in Russia, Renault is in no hurry to offer new engines to our customer. I would like to see diesel engine 1.5 liters, as well as new petrol units with a capacity of 1.2 liters and minimal consumption. Most likely, these installations will replace the outdated 1.6-liter engines in the next generation of Logan.

What to do if the fuel consumption of Renault Logan 1.6 has increased greatly?

Many Logan owners complain that the car significantly increases fuel consumption over time. It should be understood that French-designed engines are far from the units that VAZ is developing today for Russian operating conditions. If the latter are ready to carry any fuel and accept even the most very coldy with any oil, then Renault Logan 1.6 engines will need excellent maintenance with certain subtleties and serious monitoring of all operating conditions of the units. The main factors that increase fuel consumption on Logan are as follows:

a noticeable change in the habits of the trip - the car "gets used" to a certain behavior, it will not like the change in the driver's mood;
an attempt to squeeze out maximum dynamics and constant acceleration in urban conditions will also lead to the fact that the unit will increase consumption;
engine running continuously high revs contributes to a significant increase in gasoline consumption due to heavy loads;
low-quality oil, failed maintenance or a neglected engine problem - all this can lead to significant technical problems and cost overruns;
the power unit overheats severely, which increases fuel consumption and the risk of engine failure;
fueled low-quality gasoline, solid particles or various types of additives that adversely affect the engine are present in the fuel.

None with these features normal engine will not work in the mode you need. Most likely, poor-quality operating conditions and lack of maintenance caused problems in the power unit of your car. Renault Logan is a fairly hardy vehicle that has a number of inexorable advantages. However, you can also find negative features in the operation of the car. In particular, an important feature of the 1.6-liter power unit will be a very high demand for maintenance and fuel type. It is better to comply with factory requirements and get high-quality operation of the power unit without problems and malfunctions. We offer to look quite honest and detailed test drive car Renault Logan:

Summing up

The Renault Logan 1.6 car is an excellent choice among budget vehicles, which makes it quite easy to get the necessary conditions travel under the right conditions. Engines for 82 and 102 horses are optimal for Russian conditions. They are durable enough to not degrade over time, accept almost any fuel, and offer the simplest and most inexpensive maintenance features. The car can serve for a long time without maintenance, all parts and assemblies are very high quality and reliable. But here the fuel consumption of many buyers introduces into a certain stupor, since even passport indicators are not too small.

They try to reduce consumption using various additives of unknown origin and other methods. It is better to leave these experiments, since the French engine is not designed to perform work in stressful conditions. If you increase the octane number of gasoline with an additive, consumption may decrease by 0.5 liters, but the consequences of such an action will be the most unexpected. Achieve Renault Logan 1.6 passport consumption rates and be content with these operating options. Otherwise, it is better to use the purchase of another car. And what is the consumption on your Logan?

In the model range of Renault Logan cars, there are versions available for buyers with different options interior equipment, engines and gearboxes. This allows you to choose the most optimal car in terms of configuration for a specific future owner, taking into account his wishes and ambitions.

The top-end option among Renault Logan modifications is the version with a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine, 1.6 technical specifications are excellent. Next, the capabilities and technical characteristics of the 1.6 engine and the car as a whole in such equipment will be considered.

Weight and overall parameters

Despite the fact that the car is positioned as a reliable and unpretentious family "assistant", it still requires timely and high-quality routine maintenance, the fulfillment of which will allow the owner to enjoy the trouble-free daily operation of his "friend" for more than one year, has an engine of 8 or 16 valves.

Although the Renault Logan model is compact and not designed to carry large loads, the developers managed to give it a fairly roomy luggage compartment and a very comfortable lounge which can comfortably accommodate five passengers.

Among the main overall characteristics the length of the car is present, because the capacity of the trunk and the spaciousness in the cabin depend on it. According to official technical data, this dimension is 4346 mm. Not less than important parameter, which has a positive effect on the supply of free space in the cabin, is the width of the model, which for Renault Logan is characterized by a mark of 1732 mm (at the edges of the mirrors). The height of the model is 1517 mm. Such an important parameter for operation in the conditions of domestic roads as ground clearance has a very impressive value - 155 mm. This allows the car to cope with light off-road and suburban ruts.

The mass of the Renault Logan model, according to the manufacturer, excluding passengers and in the absence of cargo in the trunk, is 1127 kg. With the maximum possible (regulated) load, this parameter reaches 1545 kg. Recall that the volume luggage compartment very solid and boasts 510 liters of free space, but the car has such technical characteristics 1.6.

Motors and dynamic capabilities

For the Renault Logan model on the market, the 16-valve 1.6-liter version is not the only option in terms of equipment. The entire engine range of these cars has similar data and is able to please the owner with efficiency due to the small working volumes of the combustion chambers.

All three engine versions are characterized by their transverse arrangement under the hood. They are atmospheric units with 4 cylinders. All engines are not turbocharged. The main design difference is a different number of valves in the block head - an engine with 8 or 16 valves.

What are the specifications of the 1.6 version? All units are equipped with distributed fuel injection, which contributes to the increase of dynamic capabilities. The regulated type of fuel for them is AI-92 gasoline. Also, as an alternative, the manufacturer provided for the possibility of running engines on AI-95 gasoline.

Specifications 1.6 engine with a 16-valve gas distribution mechanism available with a power of 102 hp. with., which is achieved at revolutions crankshaft 5750 rpm The maximum torque for this version of the motor is available at 3750 rpm and is 145 Nm.

With such traction characteristics, the car is able to accelerate to the first hundred in 10.5 seconds. Meaning top speed is an impressive 180 km / h.

Such an operational parameter as fuel consumption is positioned apart. According to official technical data, the 16-valve version of Renault Logan is capable of consuming no more than 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers in the urban cycle, even taking into account dynamic driving. For the combined cycle, the value of fuel consumption is reduced to 7.1 liters, and for suburban traffic it is 5.8 liters at all.

Summing up

Based on the above aspects, you can once again be convinced that, thanks to its balanced technical and consumer characteristics, the Renault Logan model is one of the most reliable, unpretentious, economical and practical cars available on the domestic market.

Such features have allowed the sedan to achieve enviable popularity with a large army of car fans and continue to gain a reputation that is strengthening from year to year.
