With the development of the times, cars have become not only used for transportation, but also become a very important "partner" in life. A well-designed and beautiful car will add a lot of color to your life. Nowadays, car owners are busy "beautifying" their cars, designing personalized labels, and performing some simple car modifications. Some do it for comfort and beauty, while others do it to improve driving performance and safety needs, etc.
Car modification (Car modification) refers to the modification of the external shape, internal shape and mechanical performance of the prototype car produced by the automobile manufacturer according to the needs of car owners. It mainly includes body modification and power modification. wants to improve the comfort and safety of the car, which requires improvements to the car's chassis. The main modification items include shock absorbers, brake pipes, rims, front top handles, rear top handles, front chassis, and rear bottoms. Frame, etc. To improve the power of the car, it is necessary to replace the spark plug (fire nozzle), high-voltage wire (fire nozzle wire) and sponge, fuel-saving accelerator, water burner, horsepower booster, electronic rectifier and exhaust pipe, etc. side has an increase in marketization and modification projects. Experts recommend that it is suitable for your actual use needs and car body conditions. Choose modification projects when they meet the inspection standards. Do not blindly follow the trend. The marketization mechanism of modification projects in my country is not yet complete. , there are many misunderstandings, and the editor will share with you several major misunderstandings about modification:
Myth 1: Sound insulation must be thorough
Some car owners excessively pursue the sound insulation effect when doing car sound insulation, demanding the ultimate sound insulation, and even hope that they cannot hear the sound of the engine. sound. We can imagine that if the driver cannot hear the sound from the road and power system, he will lose the acquisition and judgment of relevant information about the road and vehicle conditions, which will affect driving safety. The ultimate goal of car soundproofing modification is not to eliminate all sounds, but to eliminate noise. Therefore, do not transform the interior space of your car into a complete "silent world", which is a small gain.
Myth 2: Expensive and laborious audio modification
Car audios are generally divided into entry-level, advanced, modified and enthusiast levels. For those who are fashionable modifiers, it is definitely not a good man if they don’t modify their speakers. The subwoofer and subwoofer are the top priority. Many modification enthusiasts will deliberately allocate the entire trunk layout to the sound system. This enjoyment is exchanged for "noise" in the ears of surrounding vehicles. It is worth noting that the sound exceeds 100 decibels. It also distracts the driver's attention and makes the vehicle prone to scratches. On the other hand, in order to achieve ideal sound effects, car owners believe that modifying the car audio to install more auxiliary facilities such as wireless remote control and increasing the number of speakers can improve the actual effect of the car audio. In fact, it is not the case. The host of the audio system is the original sound of the entire audio system and is the core that determines the quality of the sound. No matter how many auxiliary facilities are installed and how complex the functions are, it will not be helpful in improving the actual use effect of the audio. So instead of making some expensive and laborious modifications, it is better to choose a good console.
Myth 3: The higher the temperature and durability of the brake pads, the better.
There are many ways to upgrade the brake system , such as changing to larger brake discs and multi-piston brake calipers as well as high-performance, high-temperature resistant brake pads. Here the replacement of brake pads does not mean that the higher the temperature, the better the durability. Brake pads can basically be divided into two categories. One is for ordinary driving, the operating temperature is between 50 degrees and 450 degrees; the other is for racing, and the operating temperature is from 250 degrees. Brake pads with temperatures reaching 850 degrees are not suitable for use on ordinary roads because they cannot exert the ideal braking effect before reaching the operating temperature and may easily cause danger. In addition, the brake system cannot be modified casually in a repair shop, but must be carried out in a professional maintenance institution.
Misunderstanding 4: Blindly install a rear wing
The function of a vehicle rear wing is to improve the downforce and dynamic balance of the vehicle body when the car is traveling at high speed, and to increase the stability of the vehicle body. It is more important for large-displacement cars, but for small cars For displacement models, installing a rear wing will have a certain impact on vehicle speed.At present, it has become a fashion to add rear wings to vehicles. If a rear wing is simply added to achieve an exaggerated or beautiful effect, careful adjustment is required to achieve the desired effect of the rear wing. Blindly installing a rear wing can have counterproductive effects when the car is driving at high speeds, such as causing problems with the car's one-way balance and affecting vehicle safety.
Misunderstanding 5: Remove the bumper to install a "big bumper"
Everyone loves beauty. Installing a "big bumper" will indeed make the lines of the vehicle look smoother, but some friends overdo it. "Beauty", when installing, instead of installing the "big surround" component on the bumper of the original car, you choose to remove the bumper of the original car and then install it. In this case, the car will become more beautiful, but the people on the car will also become unsafe. Removing the original car bumper means that if the car is involved in a collision, it will lack the protection of the bumper, and both people and the car may suffer more serious injuries.
Myth 6: Black taillights make it difficult to see the brakes
Many modifiers have repackaged the taillights of their vehicles: spraying them with black "transparent" paint. The cool black taillights are indeed distinctive, but they pose a great challenge to the driver behind. It is understood that the black taillights are actually a layer of "transparent" black paint sprayed on the inner wall of the car lights. Under sunlight, the car behind you will not be able to see the brakes clearly due to this layer of paint, which can easily cause a rear-end collision.
Family car modification should start from actual needs, make improvements as needed after clarifying the purpose, and should not just blindly imitate. Whether it is to satisfy luxury or comfort, or to improve vehicle performance or make up for functional deficiencies, attention must always be paid to ensuring the safety, passability and environmental protection of the vehicle. Blind modification is not only no fun, but also dangerous.
