Notes on various modifications on cars

Mar 21, 2024

Power modification, car light modification, audio modification, etc. are all common ways of car modification. While people are pursuing performance, they also have higher and higher requirements for personalization. However, excessive pursuit of performance increase and personality display sometimes affects the final effect of modification. Note that certain rules must be followed when modifying.

There are many performance modifications such as "intake, exhaust" and ignition systems.

In terms of power, the most modified ones should be the "intake and exhaust", which are the so-called intake pipes and exhaust pipes. Then there are modifications to the ignition system, such as using better spark plugs and ignition wires. These two modifications can make the vehicle work smoothly, improve the working efficiency of the engine, and also allow the vehicle's gasoline and air to be fully burned after mixing, thereby reducing exhaust gas emissions, which is of great benefit to the use of the engine and the vehicle. It is often the first choice for car owners to modify.

Appearance modification: select main parts and modify them appropriately

Surrounding and diversion parts Surrounding and diversion parts mainly play a role in reducing wind resistance and increasing the stability of the car. Nowadays, some car owners install large surrounds not only to consider aerodynamic factors, but also to achieve an aesthetic effect. The disadvantage faced by the modification of the big surround is the road condition, because after the big surround is installed, the height of the vehicle will be reduced, and the domestic road conditions are not very ideal, and some potholes will easily damage the big surround.

Tail spoilers Tail spoilers are also a commonly used item in modifications, but generally speaking, it is not recommended to add rear wings to small-displacement cars. It is counterproductive for some car owners to blindly install rear wings, because the rear wings are used to increase the stability of the car body, which is very important for large-displacement cars, but installing exaggerated rear wings on small-displacement cars will affect the vehicle speed.

Wheel rims and brake rims are mostly made of aluminum alloy. Although they are beautiful, they are still slightly lacking in weight reduction, which is a burden for high-performance models. Brake modifications are mainly chosen based on the car model. For some vehicles with basic modifications, it is not recommended to carry out modifications that are too strong in terms of braking. Because if you brake too hard, you will easily be rear-ended in traffic on ordinary roads.

Headlight modifications still focus on brightness, but it is not recommended to install overly bright headlights, because this will affect the safe driving of oncoming vehicles. There are currently two main types of colored light bulbs, one is blue and the other is purple. Such colored light bulbs consume less power and have high output, but are complex in structure and expensive, so they are not necessary for ordinary modified cars.

Car front cover Carbon fiber car front cover is a favorite among more advanced enthusiast modifiers. It can not only reduce the weight of the car body, but also play a good role in heat dissipation and aesthetics.
Audio is the eternal pursuit of car enthusiasts, and the pursuit of audio has no end. However, junior modifiers should be reminded that audio does not necessarily have to blindly pursue loud bass. In fact, if the bass is installed too heavy, it will also be harmful to the driver himself.

Refit tips: Refit should be coordinated with the vehicle

Car modifications need to be coordinated, and many car owners now don't have a very clear concept of modifications, which leads to some cars still giving people a nondescript feeling after modifications. For example, some people hope that the power performance of their car will be improved so that the speed of the car can be accelerated as much as possible. However, at the same time, they also need to install a sound system. Installing several hundred kilograms of speakers will immediately make the original improvement. The power system function is greatly reduced.

The same example of incongruity exists in appearance. For example, many car owners now put a lot of stickers on their cars, but they lack matching and selectivity. Some stickers even conflict with the brand of the vehicle. Therefore, when choosing stickers, you must first consider what brand of car the sticker is suitable for, and then pay attention to the coordination of color matching without being too ostentatious.

Car owners should have their own preliminary ideas when modifying, and then inform the modification shop staff of these ideas, and then let them give more appropriate modification opinions and suggestions. Mutual discussion between the two aspects can achieve a more satisfactory result in car modification. Because the modification styles and modification supplies suitable for different vehicles are different, you can't just see a certain modification part used on other vehicles and rush to install one on your own vehicle regardless of the situation.
