I recommend you keep a log of your maintenance. It will help you do it regularly and that will prolong the life of your car. And it also looks good when it comes time to sell the car.
The key to speed in a race car, be it online or off, is to most effectively manage the transfer of the car’s weight around its four wheels as you maneuver the car around the track. If you are thrashing about, cranking the wheel and slamming on the brakes, you will be slow – simple as that. Why? Simple, improper weight transfer leads to a loss of mechanical grip, and when you lose grip, you slow down.
u pull it pennsylvania Rain contains high levels of acid that disintegrate the paint work on the exterior of the car, as well as leave ugly water-marks. It can also cause the frame-work to rust with time. Snow has the same effect, only it causes the car, and consequently the brakes too, to freeze over. Frozen brakes are a hazard as they will not work effectively enough, and this is dangerous.
If you hear a loud roar when accelerating your car, you may have a problem with your exhaust system. Check for any holes and patch them. You could also have broken or loose clamps that have separated pipe joints.
Suspension dampers This is one car you will not have to chew your lips off while stuck in traffic. A new chassis and dampers that adapt to the driving conditions make this as comfortable and cruisy as a luxury sedan can get. Sitting on the driver’s seat alone is quite an experience and certainly only in few cars will you find the working of the gear lever transmitted electronically through a cable. It entails full Bluetooth audio streaming as well as a 6 GB hard drive to store your favorite tunes. Talking of music, it is played through Harman/Kardon LOGIC 7 surround system to cater for the long journeys. The rear seats are slightly reclining with plenty of head and leg room, which are very practical for a family car.
Fluids. If you haven’t had an oil change in six months or 5,000 miles get it done now. Replace the oil and oil filter, and check other fluids including power steering, brake and transmissions fluids. Top off the washer solvent and inspect your coolant system.
car shocks absorbers More expensive shocks offer adjustable knobs to increase and lower stiffness. This is amazingly handy, depending on what you want to use your car for you can change it up for optimal performance. There are two types of adjustments you can change which are compression and rebound. Making it easy for a shock to be compressed will make a car ride more comfortable for passengers. Just like in a sport, the ball bouncing back to you is a rebound, this is the same theory for shocks. Once they go down how fast do they come back up again. Lower rebound resistance will give the passengers a less comfortable ride.
Check for irregularities. If you’re at the front or rear of the car, look along the car to see if there are small dents. These can be seen as distortions in the reflection. If the paint is not smooth in one place, then this could be a place where there has been some damage. Dents as large as a coin can be restored by a panel beater. Dents that are not thoroughly repaired are often filled with polyester resin or fibreglass paste. Tap the surface, or go along it with a magnet. Know whether the panel is made of steel, not plastic, fibreglass or aluminum. If there are places where the magnet will not adhere, then in all likelihood, the panel has been repaired. Ask the owner why the part has been repainted?
The cabin air filter needs to be changed after the rain or if there are any dusts. As a sign of a filter that is overdue for a change, rotten odors are coming out of the air conditioning vents.
Volkswagen said it right. “On the road of life, there are passengers and there are drivers.” Not every driver wants a sports car. There are plenty of people content with their stock parts and the performance that comes with them. My grandma’s 83′ Corolla for example, is more than enough car to get her to art classes and friends’ houses. But then there are automotive enthusiasts; drivers who are looking for the most from their car. Guys, and occasionally girls, who get behind the wheel and push their machine’s limits until every last drop of performance has been squeezed out, like a person with OCD wringing a toothpaste tube until every last molecule is expelled. Odds are, you are like me, and fall somewhere in between.
