Maximizing Your Engine, Performance Tuning
Posted by in Cars on 04 16th, 2009
Stuffing more horses into your engine used to take countless hours, cost a ridiculous wad of cash in parts, and usually resulted in the busting of several knuckles.
Thankfully, with today’s computer-controlled vehicles tuning is about as easy as playing Pong.
If you’ve seen the TV shows geared at getting every droplet of power out of a classic vehicle, you know they spend the entire show with a load of time-lapsed video of them tearing the engine apart to put in extremely technical and wildly expensive parts.
When it’s all done, they crank up the dyno and get giddy over the 3 horsepower gain realized after roughly 4 hours of work.
That’s not exactly how most would want to spend their weekend, and all for a measly 3hp.
Of course, there’s quite a bit to be said for those computer-free classics that you can have full control over. However, when it comes to getting more power in no time and without having to tear up your hands or throwing piles of cash on hard-to-find parts, a computer-controlled vehicle has a distinct advantage.
The good news is, you’re probably driving a computer-controlled vehicle, like most sold over the last quarter century. This makes tuning much easier, because a set of programs determines how your engine performs.
Simply replace your engine’s stock programming with some that’s geared toward performance and you’ll discover power gains almost instantly.
Just how can you get these power gains in minutes? The answer is easy, with a power programmer or performance chip, like those made by Hypertech or DiabloSport.
These power programmers are designed to hold performance programs created and tested by the pros. It’s so straightforward a caveman could do it.
Just plug it into the OBD-II port beneath your steering column, enter a few simple yes or no commands to adjust how you want the engine to perform, upload the new programming, and you’re ready to rock with 25 or more horsepower. For most folks, this will take a maximum of 10 minutes to complete.
There are a few drivers out there who want the extra power, but are apprehensive of using this sort of tuning method.
Their concern is that how can so much power be gain so fast, when the guys on tube spend hours and only add a few horsepower. But the skeptics can rest easy. Modern automakers simply down-tune their cars for the general population.
Engines are setup to work the same for performance enthusiasts as they do for octogenarians who believe going over 40 mph is breakneck speed. You don’t fall into the later, nor are you a soccer mom unconcerned about performance, you demand it.
Performance programmers aren’t average settings and that makes them a perfect match for you.
And, you don’t have to worry about warranties. The companies that make programmers take safety into account with their settings and further they often give you ways to return to stock settings for service visits at the dealership.
What’s more, as with all performance mods, you’ll be protected by federal law. It basically states that your vehicle’s warranty cannot be voided by performance parts unless they can be proven as the source of the breakdown.
So, there’s no good reason to wait if you’re look to easily tap into the true potential sitting under your hood.
Simple Things That You Can Do To Prolong The Life Of Your Sports Car
Posted by in Cars on 04 9th, 2009
Sports cars are cars that are expensive and will be a huge concern to their owners.
There are so many ways that you can take care of your sports car and extend the life of it also. Below are three ways that you can do just that.
Everyone knows that the internals and guts of the car is what pushes it and makes all the power. The motor the transmission and all the inner workings are what make the car run and what is favored over the outside appearance. Even though the aerodynamics of the car of always good it is the inside of the what’s under the hood that powers the car and what should be taken more care of then the paint and finish.
Even though the neglect of the outside will make it look bad it is still what is under that hood that makes it run not the paint and finish.
If you want your car to look and run good then you need to take care of it keep it washed and waxed and have new tires and new oil changed every 3000 miles even though the tires will last a bit longer than that.
The car should always be protected from the weather at all times when it’s not being used or driven. You should always keep it covered and away from harm.
If the car has a mechanical problem then it must be fixed of course before you start driving it again or it will just get worse and it will cause more problems as you continue to drive it.
The regular maintenance of a sports car is just as important as if you were driving any other car because it needs to be taken care of either way. It needs to be tuned up, needs to have the oil changed on time, never over ran just needs to be kept to par or it is just going to turn into a pile of garbage.
A lot of people will take the mentality if it isn’t broke why do you need to fix it? Well it need to be upgraded especially if the car is old and hasn’t had new parts since it was made it will most likely need a few new parts to keep it running good.
Sports cars need to be treated well and not over ran, if you are to over run the motor then you can cause catastrophic failure or just mess it up really bad that is why it is important to know how to take care of your sports car and know how to fix it when there is something wrong.
You will just need to keep the car tuned up and keep it running good if you want it to last a long time and be worth the money you spend on it. If you don’t keep it well maintained then you just spent the money for no reason because it won’t last more then a few years if that.
Smooth Ride Guaranteed With an Efficient Shock Absorber
Posted by in Automotive on 04 5th, 2009
Smoothness and comfort are given emphasis when it comes to choosing the right ride. The suspension components are usually responsible for such features. Often, the shock absorber carries this main task. Assigned to improve ride quality, the shock absorber is designed to reduce the bouncy feeling each time the vehicle passes a bumpy road. It does this by spreading the shock energy to avoid shaking the entire vehicle when hitting sudden bumps.
A shock absorber also contributes to car handling as it keeps the vehicle easy to maneuver. Aside from making vehicle occupants comfortable, it also affects the braking system. With a defective shock absorber, the brakes do not immediately respond, possibly endangering the passengers. A driver may have to stop the vehicle a few feet away just to prevent the likeliness of collisions. To avoid this, proper maintenance of the shock absorber is needed.
There are three types of shock absorbers today: fluid, gas, and coil covers. Fluid is designed to give a smooth ride, while gas is considered to be one of the strongest types of shocks. Coil covers, on the other hand, are stiff, but effectively dampen unexpected bumps. The type of shock absorbers varies, depending on the performance a motorist wants.
The most common problem of shock absorbers is wearing out. The symptoms include steering wheel vibrations, car veers in side winds, excessive bounces on rough surfaces, oil leaks from shocks, nose-diving when braking, excessive leans or sways on turns, uneven tire wear, and dented or damaged housing. If any of these signs are detected, it is recommended to immediately inspect the shock absorbers to avoid problems. Otherwise, the inability to steer clear of danger or affected vehicle stability in cases of emergency maneuvers may be present. A motorist can also determine if the shock absorbers are defective through a self-inspection called “bounce test.” The front bumper should be pushed to the pavement as low as possible and then let go. If the vehicle rebounds into place quickly, then there should be no worries. But once the front of the car “bounces” up and down more than twice before it gets back into place, the shocks are considered problematic.
Prepare Your Car for Winter: Four Things to Do Now
Posted by in Cars on 03 29th, 2009
If you have never lived in a cold climate, you probably haven’t had to deal with driving and handling a car in snowy conditions. There is a lot of preparation that needs to be done before you can drive safely through the winter. Just as you change your wardrobe for winter, your car needs a winter wardrobe. Use the following steps to help ensure your car operates safely during the winter.
Preparing your car for winter breaks down into two categories: regular car maintenance and specialty items to deal with inclement weather. Regular car maintenance includes things that you do to your car year round. You need to make sure that these maintenance tasks get done before the weather starts to change so you can make sure that your car is running at its optimum level.
Before the winter starts, you should get your car’s routine maintenance up to date. Getting your oil changed and your brakes fixed are essential in preparing your car for winter. Roads can be dangerous after the first snowfall. If you opt to go for snow tires, you should get them installed several weeks before winter hits. Snow tires aren’t always necessary but they are a good idea if you are going to be driving in a place that experiences a lot of snowfall. Even if you don’t need snow tires, check to make sure that your tires are in good enough shape to handle the wintry conditions.
Test out your windshield wipers before the first rain or snowfall. Be sure the wipers don’t just smear water across your windshield. Windshield wipers that work improperly can severely reduce your visibility and put you at risk for getting into an accident. Replace your windshield wipers and take a look at the special winter windshield wipers that are available on the market today. If you live in an area where you frequently experience snowfall, this may be a good option. While you’re at it, make sure that your windshield wiper fluid container is filled, and put an extra gallon on fluid in your trunk.
The next part of car preparation is gathering together the supplies that you’ll need to get your car running when the weather is bad. These supplies should be kept in two spaces: your garage and in your car. For your garage, you’ll need a shovel, a small broom and some de-icing spray. These are necessary in order to free your car from any heavy snowfall that occurred the night before. You may also find an ice scraper handy.
For your car, you should carry an additional ice scraper and some de-icing spray to use if you have to park outside during work hours. These items should be kept with a winter emergency kit that is stored in the trunk of your car. In addition to the scraper and spray, you should store a blanket, some dry snacks, first-aid supplies and bottled water. If you’re ever stuck in a snowstorm, these items will help you survive.
While driving during the wintertime certainly isn’t something that you should worry about, you should take the steps necessary to prepare your car for the coming months. Get your car tuned up and stocked with emergency supplies and you’ll be ready to take what ever the winter weather throws your way.

Windshield Chip Repair Dos and Don’ts
Posted by in Automotive on 03 26th, 2009
Before you get your vehicle to the auto glass specialist or call your mobile windshield chip repair provider, here are a few tips for ensuring your safety and your vehicle’s functionality.
Do:
• Protect against dirt. Dirt that gets into a crack or chip can make it more difficult or even impossible to repair. If you will be on the road or parked on a street, it might be best to place a small piece of clear tape over the point of impact. However, if this tape gets in the way of your line of vision, be sure not to drive with it on.
• Stay away from the sun. Park inside a garage when you can and use a protective windshield covering when you can’t. If you let heat build up inside the car while you park, you might weaken the windshield and cause the crack to grow.
• Talk with a certified windshield professional. Your technician should be able to provide you with the easiest and safest solution.
Don’t:
• Use your defroster on high. Extremes in temperature are never a good thing for a cracked or damaged windshield. If you live in an area where you are required to use your defroster regularly, gently warm up the car over a period of time. It’s also best to find a mobile windshield repair company that can do your repairs as soon as possible.
• Jolt your car or windows. Try to avoid slamming doors or shutting doors with the windows all the way up. Creating extra pressure inside the vehicle in this way can cause the crack to spread.
• Wash your vehicle. As with dirt or other debris, water in the damaged area can cause your windshield to crack further or even make it impossible to fix using traditional windshield crack repair techniques.
• Ignore the damage. While small chips or cracks might not seem like a big deal at first, they can spread or otherwise sacrifice your vehicle’s structural integrity. For maximum safety and compliance with the rules of the road, get your windshield repairs done right away.
