Every motorist wants his car to have unique characteristics and personality. Unfortunately, in serial production, all cars of the same brand are as alike as two peas. Tuning will help to correct the situation - the refinement of the car, which allows to improve its driving performance and create a unique design.
Necessary
- - workshop;
- - set of tools;
- - equipment for repair;
- - components and materials.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, determine what modifications you intend to bring to the design of the machine. This can be forcing the engine, improving the suspension or brakes in order to make the car more powerful and faster. And some are limited to the so-called styling - making changes to the appearance of the car or interior. Your choice will depend on the set of tuning tools, as well as the required parts and materials.
Step 2
Choose a place where you will begin to improve your car. Certain types of work can be performed in a home workshop or your own garage. If you are aiming at significant design changes, find a specialized workshop that will tune your car. Their own efforts, of course, will cost less, but professional craftsmen will perform most of the operations at a higher quality level.
Step 3
Prepare the tools needed to modify the machine. You will need a set of screwdrivers with bits, wrenches, a knife, a hammer, an electric drill, an angle grinder. Purchase or rent special equipment for certain types of work. Use only quality fixtures and fittings. Cheap ones can not withstand the load and break down at the most inopportune moment.
Step 4
Stock up on the necessary materials and parts. Tuning of components and assemblies of a car involves replacing standard factory elements with more powerful ones, suitable in terms of parameters or requiring some refinement. This applies to pistons, valves, connecting rods, turbocharging system, air filters and so on. Make sure the replacement parts you purchase are working and fit for your specific vehicle.
Step 5
If you are planning to upgrade your braking system, purchase larger ventilated discs and a larger vacuum booster. The brakes are extremely important for driving safety, so take the utmost responsibility when choosing components for the braking system.
Step 6
Remember the basic rule of tuning: when choosing component parts, take into account the conditions of the intended operation of the car. Be sure to consult with specialists before making irreversible changes to the design.
