500HP HPerformance modified turbine Deadly Duo TT-RS



German depot Audi released its new third-generation Audi TT cars in this year's Geneva Motor Show (Geneva Motor Show) which includes Starter Edition TT 2.0T, Advanced version TT-S and Concept cars TT Quattro Sport Concept. Among them, the elementary grades Audi TT 2.0T with the existing style same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but by a computer program tuning and precision assembly so that the maximum horsepower of 230HP, while strong TT-S will have 310HP the maximum horsepower, Barry acceleration performance of 4.7 seconds. In addition, the concept car models TT Quattro Sport Concept is one of the topics in terms of dynamic data show the most popular this year, because Audi to only 2.0 liters of displacement and high turbine technology will achieve maximum horsepower 420HP, Barry acceleration just 3.7 seconds to complete, and a whopping 210HP per liter of volume efficiency. Therefore, yet debut TT-RS models whether TT Quattro Sport Concept spend with the same power or continue with the current style, with 340HP maximum horsepower 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine, there is no official confirmation.

Before the new Audi TT-RS has not been on stage, we have to observe what the surgeon by tuning HPerformance two Audi TT-RS, by rewriting computer programs and facelift aluminum intercooler, new turbines, JS Racing catalysts, high performance intake system and exhaust pipes and other parts arch, the maximum horsepower to 500HP, torque from the original 45.9kgm upgraded to 72.4kgm, let these two Audi small car has performance reborn.

Wheel of thousands of horsepower Nissan GT-R modification Case appreciation

As Nissan and Toyota and Peugeot competition weight has been very popular with pro-gaze, since SKYLINE (skyline) and SILVIA approved the new on-line time, adjustable camber plate it's also the glorious history of this began, although it has been out of the GT-R SKYLINE but its blood sport style has been carried on. Today small for everyone to bring this GT-R is marvelous, has gone beyond the acceptable vehicles in general scale, ultra-one thousand horsepower to allow vehicles lose heart, let Xiaobian take you to appreciate what this Ministry of the car is how to change it.

 Ares black Nissan car is about to show you today protagonist, so quiet you could hardly imagine that it broke out of a thousand horsepower. Greddy brand hidden under dark gray V6 engine is no longer the last 540, and conducted a 4.0L engine internal strengthening, E46 Control arms using JE forged pistons and connecting rods. Intake relief valve from the well-known US brand TIAL protect the engine and turbo, one on each side, to ensure coordination V6 engine shape and symmetry For turbine engines, the pressure relief valve is necessary, like parts, pressure relief valve is actually a protective device that can play a role in protecting engines and turbines.

When speed increases, pushing the exhaust turbine blades rotate, the turbine will supply a steady stream of compressed air for the engine. Then if a closed throttle, throttle closed immediately, but the turbine continues to rotate due to inertial motion, E36 camber arms that the turbine will continue to produce compressed air. Like GT-R high-horsepower supercharged models so that the air flow faster if the pressure is too large, it is easy to cause damage to the throttle. Intake relief valve may play a protective role on the throttle. In an instant turn off the throttle, the intake manifold pressure relief valve to open the top rises directly in the pressure relief valve at the valve to drain away the excess air, which will be able to reduce the damage throttle.

Dress pneumatic suspension shock absorbers


Regardless of class double A-arm front suspension design, rear multi-link suspension mechanism, pneumatic suspension ignition coil replacement in facelift after its chassis angle bound Any changes, there is bound to be necessary to re-set, but the original organic pieces not meet regulatory requirements when you have to rely on the help of modification kits, so that it can use to achieve the purpose of modification, the modified control the texture and the reaction will also return to normal!
For such problems, many domestic manufacturers have conversion kits chassis related products are available, Hardrace Cheng Fu, Summit Lung Ying have these products available to choose from, from the steering head monk bodies lengthened, corresponding adjustable double A-arm models a arm mechanism to solve the problem of the rear tire after eating elevation adjuster, enhance vehicle control sensitivity fisheye joints, these kits are basically modified chassis can be installed after the most used, modified pneumatic shock absorbers for vehicles the same applies, even must be installed to use, I believe we will be curious why so finds it? The reason is that after conversion pneumatic suspension, as the general idea of ​​the owners of modified shock absorbers, vehicle height reduction is inevitable action, otherwise it loses its shock absorbers modified sense!
Before the double A-arm models, when the vehicle chassis geometry changes in order to conform to adjust the angle needs, Hardrace chassis modified specifically for the needs of such models, especially the A-arm design of this adjustment mechanism, pneumatic suspension for a facelift double A-arm models, definitely has its modification needed!
Modified pneumatic shock absorbers are the same token, when the gas pressure shock absorbers kit to complete the installation, when the chassis shops carrying angle setting, will ask the driver of the vehicle used in the future owners of the vehicle height, thus the vehicle height with owners driving habits, the associated setting adjustment parts, because the chassis is better mechanical pressure Z4 Control arms can be adjusted at any time kit with function, therefore, when the chassis agencies angle setting, even if it is generally the final set, then there may be a doubt, that if the vehicle height higher or lower than the current set height, chassis parts that will have any effect? In fact, this issue and not likely to affect the overall chassis set-oriented, because there is such a time is not often or long driving, simply, the current vehicle height setting for the exercise of general road is definitely feasible, but vehicles entering angle when a large underground car park, the ride height of the vehicle can be pulled up, of course, this is quite a short driving time, or take the car polyethylene activities, in order to show the car owners refit low pressure lying momentum, will be the vehicle height lowered machinery structure may correspond to the minimum height, but because it can not be the height of the vehicle and the driver, so the vehicle chassis structure, the tire will not pose any harm or wear, therefore, modified the suspension of the surrounding air pressure and set the conversion kit, do not be too too much bother to explore, as long as you follow the individual driving needs to be set or dress up kit.

Driving modified pneumatic suspension chassis setting Anatomy


Vehicle modification pneumatic suspension domineering provided low lying breath, unable to believe that the achievement of any modification of the shock! But it is inevitable that the chassis angle change, Ignition Coils for sale variability and vehicle driving experience to absorb road shock reaction, these are changing the angle of the vehicle chassis derived from the difference, if these issues do not adjust, dress up kit suitable for a long time down to the vehicle chassis definitely a big injury, but most readers may wonder, pneumatic suspension chassis angle after modification, in the end how to complete the modification and setting, in fact, is not difficult to solve this problem, let us take the AirREX Commodities show Lin Junhong talk, which I believe will be able to let everyone know the secret!
After pneumatic suspension modifications, in fact, do not use too much bother to question chassis set, basically as long as usual chassis ride height angle setting can be carried out, after all, not like the pneumatic suspension chassis mechanical parts can be set at any modifiers it!
First of all, we all understand the principle of pneumatic actuation of the rear suspension mechanism is believed to modify the chassis of the pneumatic suspension how to set up there is a big doubt, ask the chassis angle so the owner of the general store, or how to do the set? In fact, after the modified vehicle chassis parts for pneumatic suspension structure does not change much, the only difference is that the shock increases the level of performance can be adjusted at any time too! Just set the angle of the vehicle chassis note that driving the vehicle height is usually much higher differences with the original car? It simply is modified after pressure shock absorbers, car owners more often used in high-altitude and are not modified before the vehicle height differences, in general 2.0 saloon car, the high majority of new cars car about 20cm or so, most of the dress modified shock absorbers most of the car is high after the high from the ground fell 14cm, this height difference for each vehicle chassis geometry changes in no small parts, it is absolutely Youqibiyao re-set, M3 Control arms but the original car's chassis parts can be set space is limited, and even can not be adjusted, so that the situation can only rely on the modified chassis parts assisted it!

Honda NSX RR Concept by Mugen

As we know Honda is shocked and appalled greatly due to the global crisis left the development of the successor to its mid-engined sports in, ignition coil pack NSX, which would be against the Nissan GT-R, which the luxury occurred out recently Spec-V version. Honda gave slam virtually everything again for coming including many sports projects.

 But thanks to the Japanese preparers have a potentiation model Honda NSX / Acura which is already very long-lived (1990-2005). It runs concurrently in Japan at NAIAS in Detroit a lounge called Tokyo Auto Salon, which is aimed more preparers and aftermarket products. And that's where Mugen NSX RR met. Which has an aerodynamic package that resembles what the competition JGTC cars. The most attractive visual points are the giant spoiler (like good Japanese) and raised air intake for cooling larger the central engine.

The engine has been modified to reach 380 hp with its 2.4 V6 Turbo engine. The good news is that if you have an NSX, BMW E36 M3 Coilovers you can opt for this modification, the bad news is you'll have to take it to Japan for Mugen transforms.

Volkswagen Golf Wolfsburg Edition: También en el presente Wörthersee


The trickle of news from VAG to mark the Wörthersee is incessant. In this case, it is the Golf GTI Wolfsburg Edition, a unit made ​​by apprentices and students based in Wolfsburg VW, as its name indicates itself. coilovers Shock Specifically, 12 students have been responsible for 9 months of its completion supervised by Professor Holger Schulke and aged between 18 and 23 years.



There are multiple modifications before presenting to society. Beginning with its engine, which on the basis of the 2.0 TSI GTI with 230 hp, it has been boosted to 380 hp, thanks to the addition of an exhaust system in stainless steel custom made (which also stands for have a valve that regulates the output of gases through the exhaust and can reduce the noise emitted), carbon fiber intake and reprogramming of the ECU.

In its interior has installed a powerful multimedia system consisting of 11 speakers which together have more than 2,170 watts of power, also having an amplifier with LED lighting, PlayStation, 24-inch LED TV and a powerful subwoofer. M3 Adjustable Camber Plates The Wörthersee is all about being flashy, and the team he has inside this Golf is a good reason to be. But are not the only developments in the interior, we also find a two-tone upholstery that combines red and black, plus some additional seam sewn by hand. The center console is also specific, and now has an iPhone and have added some additional features such as oil temperature gauge, stopwatch or gauge air pressure in intake watches. Finally, the door panels have also been modified with specific decorative patterns.

Automobile shock absorber inspections and repairs Tidbits

To make the frame and body vibration decay rapidly, improve vehicle ride comfort and comfort, the vehicle suspension systems are generally equipped with shock absorbers, is currently widely used in the car is dual acting telescopic shock absorbers. Automobile shock absorber is used in the process of wearing parts, ignition coil replacement shock absorbers work is good or bad, will directly affect the stability and other parts of the life of cars, so we should make the shock absorbers are often in good working condition.

The following methods can test the shock absorbers work is good. 1 so that cars on the road in poor condition after driving 10km road parking, touch shell shock absorber, if not hot enough, indicating no resistance inside the shock absorber, shock absorbers do not work. At this point, you can add the appropriate oil, then test, if the housing fever, shock absorbers, compared with an internal oil, should add enough oil; otherwise, indicating shock absorber failure. 2 Press firmly on the bumper, and then release, if the car has 2 to 3 times jump, then the shock absorbers work well. 3 When the car slowly driving and emergency braking, if the car more violent vibration, indicating a problem with the shock absorber. 4 Remove the shock absorber to be upright, and the lower end of the connecting ring clamp on the vise, pull compression damping lever several times, then there should be a stable resistance, pull up resistance should be greater than the downward pressure when resistance, such as resistance to unstable or no resistance, it may be short of oil or internal shock absorber valve parts damage should be repaired or replaced parts.

 In determining the shock absorbers have a problem or failure, it should first check whether the shock absorber oil spills or traces of old oil spills. Seal gaskets, gasket rupture damaged oil storage cylinder head nut loose. If it is found leaking, first tighten the cylinder head nut oil, if the damper is still leaking, it may be seals, seal washers failure, should be replaced with new seals. If you still can not eliminate oil spills, should pull the damping rod, if they feel there is no issuer or the severity of the moment, and further examination clearance between the piston and cylinder is too large, whether the damper piston rod bent piston rod cylinder surface and if there is scratched or pull marks. If there is no leakage phenomenon shock absorbers, shock absorbers should check the connecting pins, connecting rods, connecting hole, rubber bushings and other damage, sealing off, break or fall off place. If these were normal, it should be further decomposed shock absorbers, check with the gap between the piston and cylinder is too large cylinder with or without strain, the valve seal is good, valves and valve seat are tight fitting and minus Zhen's done spring is too soft or broken, take grinding repair or replace parts of the way under the circumstances. In addition, the shock absorber in actual use will be issued by the sound of failure, which is mainly due to the shock absorbers and springs,Z4 camber arms frame or shaft collision damage or loss, and shock absorber pad dust tube deformation, oil lack of other causes, reasons should be identified, to be repaired.

Automotive shock absorbers modified basic literacy


Today's modification of knowledge we share with everyone what car shock absorbers, modified, said automotive shock absorbers, many beginners are still somewhat obscure.
Shock classification: modified shock a lot of benefits, but then the problem again, just a lot of contact with this part of the modified car owners should have heard so several shock absorbers, short springs, sports suits, twisted teeth shock absorbers, pneumatic suspension, hydraulic shock absorbers, etc., here we come to you one by one to explain these mainstream market suspension system.

Short spring:

As the name suggests, is "relatively short spring", we all should know that there is a fundamental shock tube shock absorbers and springs combination, while components can be separated into two parts removal and replacement, currently the most economical modification shock the way the system is the original car factory spring suspension system, the replacement for the modified brand of "short spring", large elastic resistance of this short spring, short length, are generally satisfy some simple modifications in order to reduce the appearance of the vehicle chassis owners.

Sports suit:

Original car's suspension system is basically a combination of springs plus a simple structure composed of a single shock tube, while the market also have different performance brands, the strength of the shock tube and spring in terms of shock better than the original, but the structure and working principle essentially the same product but with the original suspension system, which we call "sports package", this choice can often enhance both comfort and control aspects, but always feel a little "up and down does not rely on" means. There are many car owners with the short spring track suit as a combination of shock tube shock conversion, so that the height will be reduced in the body, and will get better supportive.

Pick a good shock absorber Vice


We know that the most important function of the spring is used to eliminate vibrations passing through the uneven road, since there can eliminate vibration springs, shock absorbers what you have to do? Is not used to support the damper body weight, but to suppress the shock after the shock-absorbing spring bounce and impact energy absorption surface. If you opened the damper broken car, you can experience the car in the event of rough pavement will have a serious bounce, BMW 3 Series Shock absorber and shock absorbers is used to suppress such a bounce. No shock absorber rebound springs will not be able to control when the car is cornering will spring up and down because of the shock caused by tire grip and tracking of lost.
In the original car, the manufacturer will use a relatively soft shock absorber to obtain a normal driving comfort state. However, to be used to meet the intense driving these shock absorbers can not perform competently. So suspension is the first step that most people plan for conversion, and the suspension modifications are usually replaced by damping harder, better quality and can cooperate fully with the shock absorbers and springs started.
First select a good quality brand when converted, then this brand products selected for the standard models. There must be a good shock absorber stud high precision and good airtight seal, high quality damping oil (high damping damping oil is the fundamental issue of recession and bubble phenomenon), coupled with high-pressure gas filling the air chamber design, of course, is best adjustable type. Here'll tell you about the current domestic common shock absorber brand.
Bilstein
Bilstein is currently one of the world's most famous shock absorber manufacturers. Founded in 1873, the year the company was founded by August Bilstein, after the 1930 takeover Levator company, Bilstein started to build its own factory to become the automotive industry spare parts and equipment suppliers. 1954 began to get involved in the design and production of shock absorbers R & D, and in 1957 became the Benz with pneumatic shock absorber supplier of OEM shock absorbers. Come out on top in the competitive automotive equipment and spare parts appraisal of BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Subaru, Miata Coilovers Toyota and General Motors Corporation held by them. Retroactive from Bilstein 40 years of development history, Bilstein shock absorbers have been designed as a car pioneer. BILSTEIN design invented the world's first single cylinder gas pressure shock absorbers, and now Bilstein shock absorbers or monocular pneumatic technology pioneer.
In the conversion market, Bilstein while production of special kits for ABT, AC Schnltzer, AMG, Brabus, Gembalta, Hartge, Ruf and Techart other manufacturers. Sports car race in the United States Association, SCCA, DTM, Formula races and all kinds of people in racing Rally is widely adopted.
Bilstein its products divided into B6, B8, B10, B12, B14, B16 series products are all single cylinder high-pressure gas separator design. In Bilstein shock tube, in addition to the high-pressure gas, the addition of a structural feature is the combination of a piston Bilstein special piston and spring washer design work, and can work through the oil-way piston, and the combination of different sizes, spring washer set different damping characteristics of strength, combined with the working piston of the piston arrangement of the spring washer, also allows taking into account the characteristics of the damping piston cylinder actuator for moving comfort and a reduction in the initial stroke of the damping force when the stroke continues to increase, continued to maintain optimal sports performance.

Dacia Logan Tuning

Shrill look for under 200 Euro: reporter Daniela Pemöller and has a Dacia Logan aufgebrezelt.

At the Essen Motor Show 2010 they tested the effect of cheap car decoration. The grin on the bald head behind me on the highway is as wide as the front spoiler of his rally Corsa. The blonde next to him shaking with laughter as she shows her painted fingernail on my tail. I'm on my way to the Essen Motor Show,MX5 Adjustable Coilovers the largest tuning fair in Europe. And then the ride is a special audit. But I will not be deterred, for I have a mission: to enrich the tuning scene. With a Dacia Logan Saloon. Tuned to the Aldi price: less than 200 EUR has cost all that stuff.

 In Car supermarket. But what do the Pimp professionals in food? I park right outside the entrance. The perfect stage for the big show. "But hurry a good jeweler's hand," smirks Jürgen Wiegel man (48) from Brilon, pointing to the rhinestones on the door handle. Since 1984, the Sauerland comes to the Motor Show. But something like my Logan he has never seen - he does not want to actually. "Look, Dad, how beautiful it shines. Can we have?" Asks the little Erik (6) and refers to the grooved mats in aluminum look, the shine through the blue footwell lighting like a disco dance floor. Suddenly a cry. "Nah, I can not believe it! You have a heated steering wheel in zebra look! And the green skull pommel with Brilli eye, ey, cool," said Ferrari fan Wiegel man would. Glad the now really? Or ripped of me now? Exhibition Tour at the Essen Motor Show 2010 No time to think about it. Because at my Carpathian Firecracker missing something essential: a wing!

Without the Logan looks naked. I just decided. For over an hour I'm wrong by the 110,000-square-meter exhibition halls. Instead of big spoilers I see a lot of nachgeschärfter cars - and as brave tuned girls. Besides those I work I despite Leo look and red stilettos as a bigot. Was clear, I'm also the first time here. But I will find them at BMS Racing: A white universal spoiler for 200 Euro. Now I can loose my Logan park with the 24-inch wheels next to the Hummer. This looks like the owner, a guy with a thin ponytail, different. But I must not go away. Finally, his dazzling monster is in camera flashes. My Lidl Logan arouses more sympathy. Avarice has never been cool here. The Luxembourg Laurent Rieff (27) shakes his head pityingly: "performance car parts " And points to the Hummer: "This is awesome tuning!" Sure - probably costs a giant aluminum wheel as much as a used Logan. The best advice gives me truck mechanic Erik Linde (51) from Norway, who are a BMW M3 in his garage: "girl, just do from the frippery is just silly here.." Okay, okay, was only a test ... Note: Logan, stick to your last. And I do. During my ballerinas

VW Golf R32 of HGP in the test


For the HGP Golf 530 RS, the slogan of the wolf must have been invented in sheep's clothing! What looks like a tame VW, has the nature of a brutal oppressor. AUTO IMAGE SPORTS CARS drove the turbo-animal at the Sachsenring.

The world has accepted that there is no more six-cylinder in VW Golf. The whole world? No: A small tuner makes stubbornly resisted. We talk of HGP and his favorite unit - the VR6 with Garrett-loader. Together with TTC has the Swabian tuner built a car that is so not moving with the times - the Golf 530 RS. Once the only 1.4-ton 'Mech was a vile 1.2 TSI DSG with 85 hp. The HGP stole the engine and put instead a one with 530 hp. And he catapulted the Gulf on 911 turbo level! On the track, he is, but to enjoy a power with caution.

The blessed with Porsche-VW performance of HGP whistles on all Golf-attributes: The RS 530 is unsuitable for everyday, bitchy, moody. The equivalent is true but: Overwhelming driving fun coupled with a synapse-paralyzing acres. Look-up please. As the HGP RS beats on the track, you know up in the gallery. The complete comparison with all technical data and tables are available in AUTO.

Geneva Motor Show 2014 Tuning


Abt, Brabus, Fab Design & Co wear at the Geneva Motor Show 2014, on thick. The strongest and craziest tuning cars Overview!

Tuning alarm at the Geneva Motor Show 2014: Whether in black or in poison green - Abbot, Brabus, Fab Design & Co slog really ran. he absolute eye-catcher at Abt is the RS-R 6. The intensified Audi combo thrashes 920 Newton meters on the asphalt and racing with 730 hp against the horizon. That way, 30 hp more than a Lamborghini Aventador. The abbot RS 6-R is so black that he can hardly photograph. On the paint but the viewer then wink at plenty of red glitter pigments. Around the body to pull aerodynamic components - the fair-car, one of only 25 vehicles in dark red carbon fiber. Right next to it, so to speak, as bright spot, Dept. presents an RS Q3 with white-red war paint. 410 horsepower, 32 percent more than in the standard model, and 520 Newton meters make the compact SUV almost a sports car. And Abt has also a third world premiere on offer - the Formula D car for the new racing series FIA Formula E.

Brabus office with 800 hp

Apple-Bling-Bling in the 800-hp Brabus G-model.
Brabus presented for the first time the Brabus iBusiness 800 before - a mobile office with 800 hp. The tuned G-Class from Mercedes is replete with Apple-technology and cross-linked. Can be controlled via air conditioning app or multimedia system also from the rear. This app is "married" to each customer individually with the 800 iBusiness. In the technical jargon that is to say, which can operate only his Brabus every customer. Inside the vehicle, there is no substance, all surfaces are made of quilted leather, and the floor mats. The color choice is limited only by the imagination of the customers. External pumps the Widestar body kit on the iBusiness addition. But also makes sense, finally to the forged 23-inch Platinum Edition fit in the wheel arches.

Inden SLS AMG Black Series Roadster: Driving report


In over 300 hours of work Joachim Inden built a SLS AMG Roadster at the Black Series. In a second phase, chassis and engine to be modified.

Crazy what some customers want: An SLS AMG Roadster, also in the factory trim not a child of sorrow, to please look like a Black Series,coilover but this of course remain Roadster. An unsolvable problem? Not for Joachim Inden, which has already made ​​a name for Black-Series-conversions of Mercedes SL models and docked at these SLS AMG Roadster hand.
The handle to the scalpel gives Black Series Insignia

On conversion is nothing to see at first and at second glance, what may be inferred that body work. This is due primarily to Joachim Inden, who implemented the project very meticulous. "During the remodeling phase, I am regularly woken up at night because I again had a solution to a problem," says Inden. Around 300 hours of work put the conversion specialist in the the Black Series Roadster mutant that had front and rear needed especially for the adjustment of hood, fenders and bumpers. The highlight: "The Black Series can be taken back to the SLS Roadster at any time." Around 70,000 Euro cost of the reconstruction, which felt as such made ​​himself at a first exit in any way.

Gilded luxury Steamship - Carlsson CS50 Versailles


Carlsson draws in Geneva from the solid. The tuner is a gold leaf Mercedes S-class. Value: almost 400,000 euros. Ten pieces are reportedly already sold!

If Carlsson tickles 700 hp from the five-liter engine of the current Mercedes S-class, then that is not very unusual. If this, however, the outer skin is gilded, then provides the additional horsepower of 115 hp syringe especially in the shade. Carlsson has embellished the bodywork of the large Mercedes sedan with about 1000 large gold leaf stripe (80x80 mm). The golden "carpet" wraps around the waist of the S-Class and is protected by a layer of clearcoat.

To complete the concept called CS50 Versailles, also the interior at selected locations was daubed in gold. The value of gold used is a whopping 12,000 euros here. Carlsson indicates that exactly 308 vehicle parts have been coated in the interior and outdoor area with gold. Do the plans of the tuner on, so to about 25 pieces of this particular Mercedes S-Class with 700 hp engine to the well-heeled clientele - be brought - especially from China. All ten cars of almost 400,000 euros expensive luxury liner are supposedly sold. Carlsson presents the CS50 Versaille at the Geneva Motor Show (March 6 to 16 2014).

Completely rebuilt: Lumma Design tunes Range Rover Sport

Sporty, elegant and tailored; so priced tuner Lumma Design's latest idea, a complete conversion kit for the "small" Range Rover Sport.passat turbo The matching rims are also not missing.

 Lumma has done it and presents one of the first tuner world a comprehensive finishing program for the new Range Rover Sport. Logical that the body kit is a WIDE BODY KIT, the same few inches can be wider the SUV. The contents of the kit include Lumma Design with a striking front spoiler bumper including Doppeltagfahrlichtern, which are either to order in optics or LED light strips;saab 93 turbocharger Fender flares along with new air intakes, front grille (painted or carbon fiber), carbon covers for the hood, door panels and rear apron bumper with diffuser.

 Lumma CLR RS: Wide Body for Range Rover Sport Was baptized the kit Lumma CLR RS what some various writings substantiate. Rounding out the kit roof spoiler and rear spoiler, a sport exhaust system along with four tailpipes in chrome provides more sound.saab 95 turbocharger As tires Lumma 22 or 23-inch model with 305er provides rolling. In the near future Lumma also holds power sprayer ready for all gasoline and diesel engines, concrete data are currently still out. Fix the other hand, are an aluminum pedal set, new steering wheels, carbon bars or leather trim for the interior of the Range Rover Sport.

Illuminated side skirts: Arden Range Rover Sport pimp

Arden is fans of British cars certainly a concept, turbos for sale especially when it comes to finishing the said vehicles. The Arden shows just once more, that the Range Rover Sport.

 In fact, the Arden-men have let some come for the small, but all the more sportier Range Rover As a special highlight of the tuner calls the illuminated side skirts stainless steel pipes, which were developed specifically for the Range Rover models. The trick is that the lighting is conveniently activated via remote control to (de), on top of that promise the "turbos for sale" more light when entering as disembarking.

 More light: Range Rover Sport by Arden In addition to the sill tubes Arden guys naturally have more ideas for tuning of the Range Rover Sport in stock. A second measure concerns unsurprisingly the wheels, where Arden British SUV rears multipart Sportline wheels in 10 by 22 inches, will be painted if desired even in body color. exhaust manifold Alternatively, there are Arden Dakar II light alloy wheels in monoblock design for choice, incidentally in the same size. The Dakar-rims every case be offered or matt chrome silver black / silver, a stainless steel plaque allows the engraving example of his own name. Finally Arden sharpened by the engines of the Range Rover Sport. The 4.4-liter diesel as well as the 5.0-liter gasoline engine are each highly bred by around 40 hp and 52 Nm.

Ford Excursion modified

Colorado obsessed people living there are three places: the snowy night, clear skies and fun environment, which also makes snow sports especially local prosperity. Car modified Excursion just enough space for small partners are no longer crowded, and drag on snowmobile is also no problem (BMW connecting rods).

Each winter weekend Mile Hi Motorsports employees Derek Vanner and his friends would go to Rocky Mount in participating in various activities. "For us, we like snow sports is entertainment, but difficult to drive through the various sections of our favorite activities is, of course, the driver must be me." This car is not in front of a car Vanner first, long before he owned a 2003 Ford F-250 pickup models, the bike pickup has also been boarded our magazine in 2010, three years after he brought to the car, "heightened version of" Excursion. "After I sold that bike F-250 has been looking for a more suitable car, car Excursion just enough space for my little friends are no longer crowded, and the drag on our snowmobile is also no the problem. " 

Derek Vanner put the beginning of its 10-inch rise kits, and later added three inches of shims to reach the 13 inches of elevated results. For more harmonious visual effect, Vanner put their own company produced the intake grille and 05 models of the lower lip. The height has also become the highest record of local riders. 7.3 liters of diesel engine exhaust put MBRP AFE Stage II intake and 8 inches diameter, smooth breathing also ensures output power (Ford connecting rods).

 The new car also upgraded sound system, because the car also took Vanner and his friends went to Rocky Mount, musical entertainment along the way nature is essential. Pioneer DVD system with navigation capabilities in addition to music but also to ensure that they will not get lost, multiple MTX speakers have surrounded the entire car, in addition to two 12-inch Kicker woofer. It seems Vanner and partners on the road and not be bored (Honda connecting rods).

Car tuning is to enhance the performance of the car


In the past there is a view that the Car tuning is the car look more beautiful, more personal, such as fitted to the car surrounded by large, or add anything to balance the tail, in fact, this is a very superficial view Car tuning. Personality is often very internal thing, a look ordinary person might have a strong personality charm, and a handsome appearance may very mediocre. Car also, a good car is to enhance the intrinsic properties of its decision. The real Car tuning is centered around improving the car's performance, handling and other technical indicators inner core carried out. Car tuning involves many aspects of the overall performance of the car, such as: trip computer, suspension systems, ignition systems, intake and exhaust systems, brake systems, and so on (Subaru Impreza Coilovers).

Automotive exterior modification

Appearance of the car is equivalent to a person's clothes, different tastes of people will wear different types of clothes, you want your car reflects your personality, of course, wear different clothes to give her friends. General appearance modifications include front and rear bumper, two skirts, high-wing, opening engine cover, window visors, headlights decorative plates, stickers, HID Xenon headlamps.

Off-road vehicles into

Off-road vehicles and civilian cars modified modified somewhat different, the latter is more focused on the relative increase in power and speed, off-road vehicles into put the focus on improving their passing ability, to maximize off-road vehicles and to adapt to various road conditions capacity.

Chassis modifications

Car modification is often "indeed affect the whole body," of course, would require enhanced power brakes more sensitive. Therefore, the main purpose of chassis system modifications is to provide car safety and comfort. The main modifications include shock absorbers, brake hose, wheels, front top right, after the top bar, front chassis, the chassis and so on (impreza coilovers).

Power system modification

Most fans of the main purpose of modified car modification is to improve the car's surging power! We can say that the power conversion system is the top priority of Car tuning. To improve vehicle power, replacing the spark plugs must be modified, spark plugs wire and sponge, Fuel Saver, water burner, horsepower, electronic rectifier and an exhaust pipe.

Automotive interior modification

Automotive interior upholstery modification is not generalized, but for power conversion, chassis modifications and a series of modifications after the match modification. As the car after conversion, power surge, car racing metamorphosis. Therefore do not install bucket racing seats, racing shift head and a variety of instruments and so on.

Car audio conversion

In a sense, car audio conversion is not a "Car tuning" category. This is because the audio conversion project big or small, can develop independently, has been completely "live on their own," the. In general, the audio conversion is simply to buy a host, amplifier and speakers, of course, sound master of the craft and the concept is important to ensure that the manufacturing excellent music (WRX Coilovers).

Assembling cars exist serious security risks


Assembling a small workshop rigged car even brazenly placed in the used car market blatant sales! When reporters in manholes Station area garages operating illegally interviews found these inferior car back to life and some scrap parts in the "renovation", after the dress, but also a steady stream into the market through various channels, and the same road as cars pass operations. The zombie assembled vehicles to bring great traffic safety hazards, tragedy frequently.

Upgrading A small workshop into a "assembled base"

When a reporter to interview four years ago, manhole Station nearby auto repair shop and some sneaky acts of illegal assembly, and most orders are received after the start of production. But this interview, these plants produce not only brazenly open in the street, often solicit business. Processed form also from the previous piecemeal and other amateur "assembly workshop" upgrade become production, supply, sell one-stop assembly line type production workshop, and upgraded from a simple transformation tipper trucks assembled into common technologies such as new business difficult .

According to an "assembly plant," the worker, prior to the repair shop assembled or modified car business are mostly passive door processing. The past two years, most of these workshops have been gradually changing the business model, in addition to the active propaganda, to undertake business, but also to start his own investment to purchase scrap cars, after the transformation of batch processing, wholesale directly to the project team or second-hand car traders; Or put these assembling cars directly to the sale of second-hand car market and car together. A long time, they have their own fixed sales channels. As a result, part of the "assembly workshop" Become processing, production, marketing train pipeline processing plant. Now, a peaceful area near the manhole Station gradually formed many small-scale "assembly plant" has been outstanding reputation, has become a semi-public "assembly base."

B reincarnated harm assembled car market

Assembling a steady stream of flowing black car in the end where? Reporter then learned that the investigation, there are three kinds of assembled vehicles sales channels. First, the owner comes scrapped car door machining, assembling baked vehicle was taken away by the owners directly; Second-order, according to the owner claims to produce the vehicles directly into the site and market; third is "assembled base" homegrown produce assembled cars sold directly flowing into the used car market.

January 8, reporters drove to Lanzhou old motor vehicle market. In the truck market, the northeast region, the reporter saw more than twenty trucks parked presence on the ground, more than a dozen vehicles and even license plate did not. These car close to the "for sale" signs, says car dealers who contact phone number. Reporters found that two days ago reporters in the "assembly base" found a "product", which is also for sale.

"There are a lot of abandoned cars or trucks modified cars!" An insider said that these trucks are on Saturday, Sunday sales during the transaction, usually parked on here.

Assembling cars are mostly sold privately, some in the used car market. Because sales approach in limbo, so there are no licensing procedures for assembling cars and black cars, are openly sold in the market, while the car market is now the main vehicle assembly sales channels. Another part of the assembled vehicle flow directly to the site, part of the inflow of rural areas. Many assembled car without any formalities, car sales people will tell you that part of the car assembly procedures, but that is for sale at car dealers who bought from false false. Assembling cars are basically in a remote valley, site traffic, traffic police have no control. Some took advantage of the evening quietly assembling cars in city driving, abnormal movements secretive.

"Core set of five tons of 167,000 yuan of 'single bridge' car and sold 100,000 yuan, 230,000 yuan of 'Bridging' only 150,000 yuan, no formalities are so cheap!" Reporter and an owners to get in touch, he said Linxia person he is, Saturday and Sunday only to the market, a good car is more expensive, but good quality. Cheap car that is assembled over a larger change "single bridge" only seven million, there is no formalities. "These car site worthwhile, core set of five tons of 'single bridge' just pull about 20 tons!" He said on the site of the car basically no formalities, do not buy road maintenance, goods in short supply, we must hurry to buy.

"We are only trading venue, there is no right to inspect the car when entering transactions!" One staff member used car market introduction, there must be assembled car on the market, but they are difficult to find. According to regulations, used cars come into play no right to check the transaction, the transaction is successful only when its market management office to handle the transaction procedures, they can check procedures. But those scrapped cars, assembled vehicles because of the procedures are not complete, they will not come to handle transaction procedures, it is not monitored.

Car tuning engine transformation Revealed


Specially adapted vehicles only within the specified range of competitive private, public security departments approved without modification of vehicles onto the streets is illegal (saab turbo).

According to regulations, the appearance of the body must be checked when the vehicle inspection, bumpers, mirrors, and other components under endoscopy are complete, intact; window glass is intact; whether the body Zhou Zheng; rear overhang meets the requirements; Compartment there no change, fixed is reliable.

Now has 50000-150000 private car owners as the main modification groups, major institutions may change can be divided into body rigidity, engine power, transmission gear dense than several parts suspension, brakes, electronic control units, etc. these components act in harmony among each other, if there is any one to make changes, will directly affect the driving experience.

Engine for the car just as the heart for the people, the whole car the most important part in this. Although the power output of an engine can be upgraded in many ways, such as changing the air-fuel ratio, forged pistons expand and strengthen connecting rod, crankshaft change, change spark plugs and so on. But the process is basically converted into improved exhaust change the ignition system (saab turbocharger).

Intake System

On the engine air filter is to filter the air needed for the engine is running, the gasoline engine has this device, playing car people, the original car's air filter installed seems inadequate intake air too. So people play car modified intake system (commonly known as mushrooms) practice. Modified products are made using special chemical fibers, its biggest advantage is that the air filter while the net to make the air flow into the combustion chamber, the flow rate increase, so that the fuel burn more fully, more efficient units, engine performance naturally different.

Exhaust System

After acting engine will exhaust gases, exhaust efficiency is directly related to engine performance merits. The increase in the intake, combustion, while intact, should also enhance the exhaust efficiency. Now more than replaced by straight row, that changed the exhaust system, front, remove the muffler and other purification devices, will exhaust the whole process shortened exhaust gas through a simple process that, after the car accelerated improvement will be more rapid. Straight row in the modified barrel will be deafening noise when accelerating release, but a total shock should not be too large, otherwise it will exacerbate a sense of fatigue and irritability driver driving the vehicle for a long time.

Ignition System

Ignition system together constitute the spark plugs and ignition, original car harness configurations are single group, by sex and by the amount of voltage and current are not satisfactory. The spark plug of a wide range of materials are nickel, platinum, iridium alloy points, form a single, double, the difference between the quadriceps, as well as high temperature, low temperature difference between the heat-resistant properties. The spark plug may be selected based on the compression ratio of the engine speed and air-fuel ratio. High compression ratio of the engine requires the use of high temperature spark plug; conversely, have corresponding low temperature resistance, low compression ratio spark plug engine to use some of them. Ordinary spark plug temperature resistant 6-7 degrees. Modified vehicles because power upgrade, it also needs to improve a little spark plug temperature, generally use 7 degrees spark plug factory, after modification should improve once the use of 6 degrees spark plugs. If you replace the spark plug wires and spark plugs, engine performance real-time change, throttle hard, start fast.

People who like to play cars, are generally looking strong enough car speed, braking distance is short enough, but generally the original car is mostly done in this regard moderation, can not meet the needs of people play car, it is necessary to change the complete dynamic brake talk about change a (Subaru turbo).

You may not buy this Mercedes-Benz G63


Mercedes - Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 this year, which is no doubt the most bizarre car we have ever seen. Apparently based on the standard Mercedes - Benz (mercedes - benz) G63 AMG SUV, G63 AMG 6 × 6 is basically regarded as crazy SUV variants, will participate in the annual Dakar rally.

However, the car not only looks crazy, its value is also expensive. In the end is how the price? Ah, Mercedes - Benz (mercedes - benz) tuner display, each Mercedes - Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 will cost you € 379,000, converted into dollars need about $ 513,000, in fact, how much are American pricing is irrelevant, because this Mercedes-Benz 6 × 6 will not be sold to North America.

Test Skoda Octavia RS Combi: Is the RS of the better Golf GTI?

How to fueling right with revamped versions of compact cars the Youth for hot stoves excited and the cult car, VW has shown in 1976 with the Golf GTI. And because it worked so well, it was many years later in the Group continued with the strong-fired everyday cars: In 2000, a few logs were refilled at the Skoda Octavia and the result is sent as RS on the streets. This plan worked, now the strong sports-Czech is already in its third edition. Its engines, one petrol and one diesel, derived from the VW-shelf and are also used in the in-house competitors Golf GTI and GTD (Ford connecting rods).

 The turbo-generators are united by a displacement of two liters, the petrol engine creates 220 hp cause, the diesel powert with 184 hp. If one is aiming generously over the thumb to RS and GTI / GTD differ in the comparable versions neither the price nor in the dynamics values ​​significantly. So far, so equal. But who has ever tried to strangle a baby stroller in the trunk of the Gulf, will appreciate the major difference between the three and five-door hatchback and the Skoda VW: The Octavia RS is available as a five-door sedan and station wagon. The latter makes up the race in the customer's favor, according to 95 percent of all Skoda RS have sold a heck with combi flap (Honda connecting rods).

 Strong from the basement That the RS in its series sets the tone, you can hear after launching. An optional sound generator, the engine noise passes through the windshield in the vehicle interior. While that creates a beautifully focused tone at full speed with the petrol, the diesel is only just loud. With the gasoline we get to the slopes and have very quickly realized: Because it works. The machine rotates strongly from low revs and will depend on about 4,000 trips greedy on the gas. The force makes the Skoda scoot like the espresso machine at an Italian restaurant and brings the rapid acceleration much fun. Although the lowered by 15 millimeters sports suspension counts pedantic each manhole cover with noticeable impact, but as soon as it is curvy, the firm base is a source of joy. Thanks to standard-progressive steering allows the athlete agile steered around bends, as you have to turn the control during rapid right-left combinations far less than a normal steering.

The factory-fitted electronic differential lock at the front will take care of the directional stability by specifically braking the inner wheel with traction loss. The fact that the Golf GTI in serpentine wagging a track feels more agile, the fact is owed​​, that the Wolfsburg is about forty inches shorter than the Octavia Combi. Fun of the handle knob to the exact six-speed manual transmission, only the paths are a bit too long. Who often delegated work, the switching also from 1800 € expensive DSG can be slimming (Isuzu connecting rods).

V6 diesel engine and electric motor: So the Range Rover SDV6 hybrid drives

Also, Land Rover finally jumps on the hybrid train and presented at the Auto Show IAA in Frankfurt (September 12 to 22, 2013) the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport with the full force of V6 diesel engine and electric motor. In the fall of 2013, the models can be ordered in the spring of 2014, it will be delivered. First prototypes undergo in these days a mammoth test drive: The 16,000-kilometer route from Land Rover main plant in Solihull in the English Indian Mumbai. There sits Tata Motors, the parent company of Land Rover. In brief stopover in Berlin, we were able to Range Rover hybrid drive for the first time on the road and off road (volvo turbo).

 Prototype falls A normal Range Rover is already not to overlook on the road, our hybrid prototype draws attention to itself as a entfleuchter from the zoo elephant. This is, however, therefore, in the first place, that the expedition car is not only stuck green, but also two diesel jerry cans and a spare wheel carries on the roof. The subsequent production model it is from the other Range Rover engines only by a writing may differ on the rear. From the high seating position, the crowd can look cool. The luxurious ausstaffierte with leather and wood interior reminds you of how the other range models used to more of a lounge than in an automobile. Quiet and smooth, the large SUV makes its way, so as you know and expect from him. First V6 diesel coupled with an electric motor An aluminum body and other dietary measures had to date the fat range can slim down powerful in its new edition in 2012, will now be further rotated to the consumption screw. Beneath the bodywork conceals a novelty: the Range Rover hybrid a V6 diesel is first coupled to an electric motor. The Nitro-is the role of the known from the new Range Rover Sport three-liter V6 diesel with 292 hp, the Stromer plays a 35 kW (48 hp) electric motor. This sits between the diesel engine and the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. His food refers to the electrician from an approximately 50-kilogram, liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery which has been hidden protected under the vehicle floor. This one has also in the trunk suffered no loss of space and even the optional third row of seats is still bookable (Audi Turbo).

 Only 6.4 liters of diesel As Ross McMurren, hybrid developer, explained at Land Rover, the hybrid is in terms of power in any way hide behind the 4.4-liter V8 diesel SDV8. On paper it works before: With the V8, the twin engine Brite dividing the total power of 340 hp, maximum torque of 700 Newton meters, the sprint time of under seven seconds to 100 and the top speed of just under 220 km / h. In practice, it looks similar: Although the six-cylinder does not sound so nice powerful, growling as the V8 diesel, but in terms of performance, the Small the Great as promised candle. In normal driving, only the diesel is running, when accelerating, the electric motor assists the Nitro immediately with a torque syringe. The beefy power delivery is a delight, the eight-speed automatic transmission changes gears smoothly usual. The moments in which the streamers are switched on and off, hardly noticeable. The electric motor acts as a generator during braking, which charges the battery. When that happens, and how much juice the battery has, is displayed in a hybrid display behind the steering wheel. Only miserly 6.4 liters of diesel to burn according to Land Rover 100 kilometers of the hybrid drive, which is 2.3 liters less than the manufacturer calls for the SDV8. On our first trip, which went through the city and on the highway, we've taken 8.9 liters on board computer. Must pull off one of them still a consumption through the roof rack. Also one must not lose sight of the fact that it is a pre-production (renault turbo).

Only cheap? Dacia Sandero Stepway dCi 90 in the test


Damn! Who has designed these seats only in Dacia Sandero Stepway? Without any kind of leadership and then also pushes the metal inner life in the ass. Well, what I pull from a few hundred kilometers of motorway in such a car? Simply because "such a car" has many friends. Because it's unbeatable price, as we shall see.

Simple, but frugal
But first things first: in 2012 the Sandero has thoroughly refurbished Renault's low-cost offshoot Dacia. The most popular is the Stepway version. In the optical shows why: Black plastic sill all around give the car a rugged touch, while increased to four inches of ground clearance protects against potholes. Given the fact that the Stepway starts already with clear 9.990 euros, its appearance must not hide. The undisguised sill of at least 320 liters of luggage compartment shows, however, how such a cheaper price comes about. This impression continues in the cockpit: Here are the plastics may be simple, but everything is where it belongs, apart from the horn in the turn indicator lever and see. Speaking: A Practical Tip function for three flashes in vain. Even more inconvenient is the arrangement of the switches for the power windows and cruise control, far below in the center console.

Today a king
Because we were with the king of all Sanderos go, the Stepway Prestige with 90-hp diesel for still narrow 13,990 euros. It's all there, which makes sense: Equipped with air conditioning, electric windows and a rear parking aid even a Navi. The affordable unit with seven-inch touch screen and USB port impressed by ease of use, lack the much more expensive systems from other manufacturers sometimes. No complaints there are for space, but who gets out the back, should be careful on the rear corner of the door, where you may encounter. The suspension of the Sandero Stepway is largely tried to comfort, but must surrender at awkward bumps.

old acquaintance
Under the hood of an old acquaintance provides its service: A native of Renault diesel with 90 hp logs in the cold state distinctly to Word, but otherwise remains up to 120 km / h background. It is interesting to be activated by pressing a button "Eco Mode". By throttling of engine output, torque and air-conditioning fuel can be saved up to ten percent. This goes up to the aforementioned 120 km / h off very well and shows long-range effect actually: Use the standard cruise control could be achieved remarkable 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Also noteworthy is the difference in price to similar products from Wolfsburg: A comparable VW Cross Polo 1.6 TDI will cost 21,915 euros proud, so about 8,000 euros more.

Endurance test: Seven months in the Suzuki Swift Sport


Asked time openly among us car connoisseurs: What do you think of strong small car? Maybe the VW Polo GTI? Or in this booklet featured Ford Fiesta ST and Peugeot 208 GTi? Certainly a good choice, but a racer has hardly any on the screen: the Suzuki Swift Sport. This may be because the Japanese with 0.8 percent market share act more in the background, but also that their vehicles are quite inconspicuous. This principle remains true to the Swift Sport. Him we have taken during seven months and nearly 16,000 km under the microscope. When he rolls before our editorial, the unobtrusive appearance shows in natura. Certainly, a different front bumper, two single tailpipes at the rear and standard 17-inch alloy wheels along with 195er tires indicate the flagship of the Swift series. Then there is the color "Ablaze Red Metallic". It belongs to the extensive standard equipment, extra paid services are part of Suzuki not provided. On board are for 18,990 euros in addition to climate control, a CD Radio with USB port and bi-xenon headlights, cruise control and heated seats.

Ultimate Extras are missing
Lots of it and much in it, but we would at least still desired rear parking beepers, since the Swift Sport is not optimally visible in this direction despite only 3.89 meters in length. For astonishment ensured the execution of some extras: So degenerates the music selection from a USB stick in a game of patience and the single-stage seat heating mutated after a few minutes to grill. About the fact that it was the Swift Sport so far only in three-door, one may argue, there are now also a version with rear portals. But why are the rear seats to be folded is only as a whole, remains a mystery. It could use a split back good, because the trunk with 211 liters fälllt in the normal state pretty puny. Extremely annoying turns out the shaky rack. It is not hung up on the tailgate, so that often the window is hidden when forgotten, they hinunterzuklappen.

Noisy but elastic
Inside the grip steering wheel and comfortable sport seats were praised, but there were deductions for the simple and scratch-prone material appearance. With respect to the standard sports chassis, the opinions were divided: here "firm, but well balanced," there "somewhat hard". Law consistently the judgment was on the drive: Overly bubbly the 136-hp engine is not going to work, but he prefers elastic at low engine speeds up. Only at higher tours of the Suzuki acting reasonably fast. Then it's uncomfortably loud as the sixth gear of the otherwise crisp gearbox is translated too short. In general, the soundscape is improved, dull-brummig the Swift Sport goes to work. Even Suzuki admits himself that the highway is not his best area. Actually makes the small Japanese in the city and on the highway the most fun. For the direct steering provides, in town can at 50 km / h are chosen fifth gear. Finally, we were surprised when consumption: Despite a high proportion of highway average was acceptable 7.6 liter or 1.2 liter above the factory specification.

The new BMW 435i Coupe in the test


"A Coupe design is the dream of every car designer", says Adrian van Hooydonk, mainly responsible for the appearance of the current BMW fleet, and allows the gaze gently over the muscular flanks of his latest creation. "Two doors are simply more creative freedom than four. Hence the formal language of a model is usually taken forward over the coupe."

Even numbers
At the appearance of the 4ers you get used to quickly and willingly. The proportions are elegant, well-known the snout and the interior in a similar form by 3. Only the sight of 435i-lettering on the tail is still getting used to. Where the four not the first even number that adorns the rear of a Bavaria: From 1989 to 1999, a BMW luxury coupe with the back of Number Eight adorned, in 1975 came the six-used and has since appeared three different coupe and convertible series its name.

new models
And so now the four for the Coupe and the Convertible in the 3 Series. The former is available from October this year, zweiteres follows early 2014 BMW justifies the name change with a stronger technical differentiation for 3 Series, the new number may well also serve clarity, if the model range will be expanded in the coming years to completely new body styles.

2,000 euros extra
Make no mistake about it: The higher number will allow higher prices. For over 2,000 Euro premium over the 3 Series Sedan, there is a picture book coupe that can satisfied smile and van Hooydonk. Enforce his ideas was for the chief designer is not always easy. "It is easiest for a designer, if there is no predecessor, then you have a lot of room there a predecessor, the engineers want to first remember that everything remains as before ". But Hooydonk wanted change, wanted shorter overhangs and wider flanks.

50 millimeter longer wheelbase
He got it. The 4p is 26 mm longer than the outgoing 3 Series Coupe, but has a 50 mm longer wheelbase and thus a remarkably short front overhang. In width 43 ​​mm were added. For the first time the wheel arch marks behind the widest part of the vehicle, the rear track grew by a whopping 80 millimeters. Is proportioned so the 4-sporty on the asphalt, the lowered roofline provides the typical coupé elegance.

Lower seating position
Behind the wheel can be accessed by you can plop down in the sports seats - which are driven by the us 435i series. The space resembles that of the sedan, but you sit much closer to the tarmac. A little cramped it is in the rear too: Although it might not seem so at first glance, the headroom is acceptable and also the knee fit behind the backs of the front seats - on long journeys is likely at least greater grown people feel quite concentrated anyway. Never mind who wants a motorhome, may pick up the 3 Series GT.

Technical specialties
On request, the middle-class Coupe is equipped with a lot of assistance and entertainment systems. A head-up display keeps the driver's eyes on the road. The Driving Assistant Plus warns of collisions with pedestrians. Internet and voice recorder make the vehicle into a mobile office. As standard the 4 is equipped with a start-stop system, as the first BMW model in this segment there is the coupe with LED headlights.

Not the better intake and exhaust modifications

Change the engine intake and exhaust efficiency, thereby changing the engine output characteristics. In general, the intake by replacing high-flow style is to increase intake efficiency, while the exhaust replace the more stout exhaust pipe, so that the exhaust becomes smoother(turbochargers uk).

 Today turbocharged car is mainstream, modified turbo car culture more and more, but a lot of owners in the choice of turbine exhaust pipe is often some modification shops or misleading foreign websites that modified the thicker the turbine exhaust pipe diameter on horsepower the larger, the final effect is weak out of low torque, high noise and fuel consumption. Turbocharged models do need a larger diameter exhaust pipe, but not the bigger the better! Many well-known foreign public turbo tuner, has been touted large diameter. Consumers may not know, those well-known supplier of exhaust pipe is modified to match their third-order and fourth-order or higher packages using their turbine has changed big One or more large diameter is necessary, but How thick tail drum inside diameter of consumers is not known, large diameter selling a good friend, to attract young blood refit, but the exhaust pipe deep air velocity, back pressure, etc. are not considered to rely on crude selling point lead in the case of the original turbine, the exhaust flow rate is slow, slow response, low torque losses and big noise, plus many European and American suppliers do not manufacture the product modification capability, most cost pressures due to inventory tuner, only a set of a specification of the exhaust pipe to fit all models, so there is the bigger the better argument! Why? You changed the exhaust pipe, not low enough twist it? Again a third-order it? Enough? Again a large turbine chanting, and so on, a lot of cool cars golf monks embarked on a main road of no return, a width of three, and finally we must strengthen internal engine so consuming scary(turbo uk)!

 Although the popularity of the exhaust pipe upgrades, but also a lot of people misunderstood. For example, the replacement of the exhaust pipe will be more fuel, loss of low torque; louder exhaust pipe, the greater horsepower; higher caliber thicker the horsepower; replace the exhaust pipe can reach right car noise, or expect to achieve ultra-run so shocking. Should follow the principle of replacing the exhaust increase horsepower based, should not blindly pursue sound. Before we in the development of the exhaust pipe, has done about horsepower and sound comparison test, the result is to achieve some kind of noise, but not necessarily have the desired effect of horsepower. So, we are based on the manufacture of environmentally friendly exhaust pipe, a controlled amount of sound for the purpose of further enhancing the overall horsepower(turbo for sale uk).

A brief introduction to car modification knowledge

Powered Auto has been an important consideration is a measure of the car. Modification mentioned power section, modification of the engine intake system, commonly referred to specify the action (ignition coil). Intake, exhaust system work is complementary relationship, want to improve engine output performance, but more with the intake system. As the first part of a four-stroke engine intake acting, the mystery is more complicated compared to the exhaust system.

 Now modified vehicles are basically private cars as much, do not know the stakes modified cars, according to a presentation to their own preferences on imagination and marketing personnel conducted a blind construction, the result of damage to his car, because after racing after the vehicle type power conversion is a very serious engine damage.

 Adapted from the current level of view, an enlarged intake air to increase the power, so you must dismantle the air filter installed to increase the gas flow on the mushroom head, a lot of impurities in the air into the engine to increase mechanical wear Some modification of the cylinder spark plug wire, put it in bold so as to strengthen the spark ignition energy to strengthen the power, but this is very dangerous. Because the sub-cylinder line bold, high pressure increased several times, the ability to provide high-voltage output of the high-pressure Po, did not increase the container easily lead to a negative high voltage super job, causing high pressure Po spontaneous combustion fire, it is very dangerous. Professional car modification is with this in mind, so the high pressure treasure for expansion, matching modification, and the risk to zero. But for now the modified car did not do this. Since the Auto is now constantly upgrading technology, the future of high-performance cylinder line was replaced by electronic ignition coil, so the future will not be in the line of high-pressure cylinders treasure greater output dynamic modification (ignition Coil Pack).

Manufacturing sub-cylinder line in bold manufacturers also take into account these risks, so the appearance of the spark bold lines, reaching sensory effects, but in terms of quality, which is basically this wire and wife are very similar. In fact, a power conversion system works. Improved intake and exhaust not poor; gas volume, and not keep up with the fuel injection; fuel intake are met, the ignition spark plug small slow, poor fire line conductive nozzle, also play not earlier improved results. So power improvement is a chain, which link less will not work(bmw turbo).
