Do you want to modify the performance or appearance of your vehicle? You're in the right place.

 

Most vehicles leave the factory set up for an average driver's expectations and conditions. Tuning, on the other hand, has become a way to personalize the characteristics of a vehicle to the owner's preference. Cars may be altered to provide better fuel economy, produce more power, or to provide better handling.

 

Tuned cars are built for the pleasure of owning and driving. Exterior modifications include changing the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle via side skirts, front and rear bumpers, spoilers, splitters, air vents and light weight wheels. Interior modifications extract the greatest possible performance, this largely involves modifying the engine and management systems, additional changes are often required to allow the vehicle to handle this power, including stiffened suspension, widened tires, better brakes, improved steering and transmission modifications such as the installation of a short shifter.

 

Areas of modification:

 

Engine

 

By adjustment, modification of the internal combustion engine or modification to its control unitIt is performed to yield optimal performance, to increase an engine's power output, economy, or durability. Setting the idle speed, fuel/air mixture, carburetor balance, spark plug and distributor point gaps, and ignition timing were regular maintenance items for all older engines and the final but essential steps in setting up a racing engine.Tune-ups may include the following:

 

• adjustment of the carburetor idle speed and the air-fuel mixture

• inspection and possible replacement of ignition system components like spark plugs, contact breaker points, distributor cap and distributor rotor

• replacement of the air filter and other filters

• valvetrain adjustment

 

Suspension

 

Suspension tuning involves modifying the springs, shock absorbers, swaybars, and other related components of a vehicle. Shorter springs offer greater stiffness and a lower center of gravity at the possible cost of unwanted changes of suspension geometry. Stiffer shock absorbers improve the dynamic weight shifting during cornering and normally have shorter internals to stop them from bottoming out when shorter springs are used. Stiffer sway bars reduce body roll during cornering, thus improving the grip that the tires have on the surface by reducing suspension geometry changes caused by roll; this also improves handling response due to faster weight shifting.
