Welcome to the UK TorqueCars car tuning site. We focus on the latest tuning trends and car modifications to bring you "how to" articles and inspirational galleries of the top class show and track cars.

Our modified car styling articles cover all styling mods from major bodykit and respray projects to the subtle addition of electrical accessories and headlight conversions.

The Car tuning articles are realistic and we do not subscribe to the "if it makes more noise it must be more powerful philosophy". You will be able to get more in depth tuning advice in our friendly chat forum which now contains our modified cars gallery and an arcade.

If you have not selected the right modifications you are faced with 2 possible scenarios. 1) You will have wasted your time and money for little or no effect or worse still 2) You will make your car unreliable and continually be spending money on repairs. We cannot stress highly enough the need to carefully reasearch each and every modification in your car tuning project.

Car Tuning tips

You need to bear in mind the fact that there is always a hidden cost with every modification you do. At the very least there will be a knock on effect where increasing the power in one area highlights a weakness in another one. TorqueCars aims to present the cutting edge of car modification advice and assist our readers and forum members to make the right decisions and get the most enjoyment from their cars.

The most popular first modifications are alloy wheels, intake and exhaust and suspension so you might want to start with these pages .
