Car Modifications - Tuned For Show
tFashion and art, public appearance or even the simple act of meeting new people - it is
all about the show. To show how you feel and how you think - to let others see your best,
to let them understand you and appreciate you for everything you are.
And today in the environment of this ever-changing World your car is more than your safe
ride to designated destinations.
Your car is a part of your life style. It is the first impression of you when coming to a
new place. And the look of it shows to others who you are and what you like.
Maybe this is exactly the reason why so many people try to give their cars a unique
look - just as unique as they are. And tuning the car is maybe the perfect approach for
this.
There are many ways for car tuning. Many of them help the car to reach high performance.
I will begin with a few of them because no matter how cool the car looks the performance
is important. The boost controllers are a great way to maximize the smooth power delivery
of the vehicle. It is the electronic brain of your car allowing for a better and faster
control of the boost.
The exhaust gases should be taken out more quickly because when this happen more fresh
air is forced into the engine increasing the performance of the combustion process.
However sometimes too much air could allow for intermittent losses of power to appear
and drive your car unstable and unreliable.
To get around this problem an electronic brain is added to the valve that controls the
flow through the turbo. This gives a better control of the boost at a wide open throttle
and a quicker response regarding every change of the throttle conditions.
To control the boost sometimes mechanical boost controllers are applied but in some cases
they will not adjust properly for a given condition and this will add fluctuation to the
boost. This is why a fully mapped electronic boost controller is the better choice.
How have you ever seen a drag race? Or maybe you actually participated in one of them.
The drag race is maybe the most exiting event that the car sports could offer. It is full
of speed and adrenalin - the foundation of what a racer lives for. The first thing that
comes to mind when thinking about it is the NOS system.
NoS actually come from the name of one of the companies which manufactures these systems.
Some people make the mistake to think that this states for Nitrous Oxide N20. This is not
the case but it is close to it because a gas called Dinitrous Monoxide or the a.k.a.
Nitrous Oxide N20 comes into play.
This gas was used in wartime to boost the aircraft engines and today it is an easy high
power modification for many cars. A non-flammable gas by itself is injected into the
intake manifold and it mixes with the air and the fuel there.

By taking a part of the
combustion process this gas dissociate oxygen which provides more power to the combustion
process. The rapid change from liquid to gas of the new mixture component gives a nice
cooling side effect too which cools down the whole engine area and it is highly valued
for this effect too.
If you think about adding the NoS component to your car you should
know that a proper fuel delivery system will be needed too because when the NoS comes
into play more oxygen is released and therefore more fuel is required. You should also
know that there will be an additional cost for you - the refill of the NoS system
containers and the additional fuel that is burned because of this high power system. If
that is fine with you and you are ready for the speed you are going to feel this system
is just what you are looking for.
Now when NoS system is intact and the proper performance adjustments have been made it
is time to put some style on the outside. Car styling is about the personal choice. No
one could really tell you what your car should look like because it will express your
own personality. However I will provide few suggestions.
The cheapest way will be to put a sticker on your car. Let others know what your vehicle
is all about. If you are a drag race enthusiastic and you already own a NOS system it
could be pretty cool to use the NOS logo or to put a fire looking sticker making the
impression of a car entering the Earth atmosphere.
Always apply stickers on a warm day and take your time to release the air from the
bubbles in order for the sticker to stick in tightly. You should also know that
bonnet/hood stickers should resist the heat from the engine. Many stickers are
translucent so keep that in mind too.
If you apply for example a cool green translucent
sticker to red car you will most likely end up with a muddy brown colour looking not
that cool. Of course a good idea could be to apply many layers of stickers in order to
create the right colour and effect. You may also want to paint your wheels in the colour
of the car to provide additional effect. Keep in mind that black look stylish too so
don't over paint because you don't want to create the impression of a circus prop.
Use your imagination - maybe some sprayed art could work for you too. You may even want
to contact an artist about it.
Last but not least consider some interior redesign. Car mats are the most popular start
for an interior transformation. Keep in mind that the wrong car mat could damage your
gearbox and even lead to an accident. Dashboard styling and some plastic painting could
help too but always try to balance the colours in a good way. This is where an artist
could help or maybe a good seller with a fine taste.
