Car tuning - Advice for Modified performance Cars
It is possible to blow huge amounts of money on car tuning ruining it and ending up with a fuel drinking stodgy bone shaker that looks like a Christmas tree from last year. To discuss car tuning projects and ideas more fully you can join us in our fast growing forum where you are sure to meet like minded car enthusiasts.
This car tuning guide is intended to assist you in deciding which mods to do and gives a realistic opinion of what the car will end up like and gives a common sense guide on the pitfalls to avoid and common mistakes. Track cars are rebuilt each time they are raced and they are set up for optimum conditions on the flat surface of the track.
We have to tune our cars to work for a whole year without a service. We run over potholes and speed bumps and contend with a variety of weather conditions and loads. With this in mind we need to target practical tuning mods that will cope with everyday driving and maintain reliability but also help you to get the maximum enjoyment from your car.
