It is on three-meter-high metal bar in the back of your tribe, spent $ 200 on the back of a light glows a different color and $ 600 for “VTEC” stickers, let The Fast and the Furious three times and you say your car is still faster? We are helpless, like you, but we have some suggestions that may help.

1. Even when it comes to your own import-tuner, it is important, with a decent base. Any reduction, stiffness, and do not drive much in the middle of a car that can not be for a good cause, and there are many inexpensive, good platforms available.

- What is popular is not always better. Sure, you could be a coup for importing cars from Honda Owners # 16384, and you should make a car with a reputation as the cheapest on the engine tuner. You also have to live with the marginal low-end torque (not so easy to update and PS), and unless you salsa again in the 1990s, is not always the double car Wishbone Suspension, one of the things that the special. Like most cars, including front-wheel drive, a low ceiling “glass ceiling” on the value of the additional power for squeeze-out of this small engine.

- Get the whole or a car rear traction, if you are going fast. A series of wheels can do more, and only in the first conductors have a lower management skills throughout, not to mention feeling, slowly and less clever, funny, even if driven normally. And how would not you, an attempt to drift? RWD last few cars that are sold for less than $ 30,000: Mazda Miata, Toyota MR2, Ford Mustang, Nissan 350Z, Mazda RX-8, Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Firebird.

- Sure it’s better. Mass is the enemy of all driving dynamics: acceleration, braking, road, turn, etc. Since the light is its own reward, and makes all future models, which are still much more.

2. Now to the updates can be.

- The best: a modified turbocharger seen Japanese import cars. The assumption that his first wish is faster (with the same engine), exhaust system cram the recycling of additional air into the engine at high speeds, allowing the production of horsepower and torque. Super Chargers achieve the same effect with less efficient (since it is based on the engine for power).

- After the defense of the engine’s time to worry about the intake and exhaust mods (better CAM, headers, air filters, silencers, etc.) high performance / high-strung engines are better able to enjoy the benefits of better breathing.

- With regard to suspensions and reductions, please contact as difficult as possible to handle. But building the right to ensure that the crisis is at least as aggressive as their sources, from the point at which the first is to control the movement of these, and you do not want your attitude constantly stop press shot. And not to cut your sources!

- Increase the profit-handling wheels, but there are also disadvantages: difficult journey, more unsprung mass, more work on their strokes, and lower resistance to pothole damage. Depending on the amount of torque to the point it has too much traction can also be difficult to provoke wheelspin during start up, fun and damping retards the process of acceleration. As a general rule, not on a street with a car along the diameter of a youth, or tires which an aspect ratio of less became the 40th

- Speaking of tires, a brand is not the best, and the model lines and the names all the time. Stay away from low-season performance tires (without the “M + S” stamped on it) and try to tire with a speed rating of H (130 km / h) or higher. Then H is V, Z, Y. and H comes before R, S and T. Yes, it makes no sense.

- What are the brakes, helping the larger rotors, but only one point. Brakes just depends on tire traction as the brakes themselves, and also larger than most others, also adds unsprung masses. Instead, concentrate on better brakes vague, ie after the exchange of drums to discs (better heat resistance, pedal feel and the ability to stop), or from solid to vented discs (with better cooling). Brembo is the standard brands of replacement brake.

- The establishment of a new series of gear and / or a new final drive gear and its engine can be a little more sensitivity to the cost of gas a little more engine noise, and reducing the maximum speed (from earlier in the Redline).

- If you want more low-speed muscle (as many cars), all the small changes in the motor world will not help. Power and torque are different (but related) goods you need is a car with a larger engine.

- Unless you have a rear car and drive in three digits, stay away from spoilers. In particular, from the wings – the bar top is not 100% attached to the body. In low and medium speeds, the main contribution is the resistance, and the first wheel-drive cars, the rear cargo that is actually counter-productive, so that even more understeer than usual. Spoilers (ie, attached to the type of institution, you might see in an old or Lexus SC400 Pontiac Firebird V6), on the other side, to improve the air and, in fact, a little useful.
