Choice Of Wheels

08/01/2013

All those who are interested in cars would choose alloy wheels, whereas the standard wheel rim is made of cast iron. Alloy wheels make the car look much better, but in addition, they impact on it's technical characteristics. You should be aware that if you put new wheels on a vehcile they may invalidate the vehicles warranty under certain conditions.

The reason for this is that when you put too different tires or wheels on your vehicle, the driving performance changes which affects suth things as the braking system, chassis, engine as well as the overall performance of the vehicle while driving. If you put larger tires than recommended the brakes might wear faster. This is because the braking system will need more force to slow the vehicle down as they will be handling more of a load. If the tires are too small, then it may lead to loss of stability of the car.

Most vehicle owners who replace the wheels on their cars do not take these factors into consideration, as the look of their car is more important to them than anything else. It is therefore always very important to consult a specialist regarding your choice of wheels.

Here are some tips that are not bad to follow when deciding on alloy or steel wheels. Make the choice matches the use of the car. If you need more speed, then you need lighter wheels such as alloy provides, but if you want more strength than steel is a better option. When it comes to more frequent use of the brakes as in urban driving conditions, then alloy wheels are a good choice. They provide a better flow of cold air to the brake discs. If you want to lower the car's weight, then you need smaller wheels. Wheels with a wider base are a better choice if you are looking for stability at higher acceleration and cornering, but keep in mind fuel consumption will suffer as a result.

Generally speaking, alloy wheels will make the car ride more comfortable and enjoyable than iron.




Limit Of Power For Chip Tuning

08/01/2013

Chip tuning is an increasingly familiar phrase in South Africa. More and more people are selecting chip tuning in order to enhance the performance of their car and its engine. Chip tuning is aimed, in essence, at controlling the engine to increase its power and modify the default settings of internal control system.

The concept behind chip tuning is to provide appropriate settings to the electronic control unit of the vehicle to achieve better power, improved performance, better fuel consumption or cleaner emissions.

The vehicle manufacturers tend to limit an engines performance in line as in insurance against the vehicles guarantee. Through this method of insurance, they guarantee the vehicle will match the intended countries standards (such as emission standards) and also to lengthen the life span of the engine.

Thanks chip tuning you will be able to set the engine of your car to operate optimally better under certain conditions, such as high or low altitude performance depending on the vehicles common surroundings.

One of the most common and interesting questions on the topic of chip tuning is just how much of an increase in power can such a chip tuning achieve. There are however many factors than influence the increase in power, so the results may not always satisfy you. Estimated parameters for the output increase in modifications over the standard engine in a ten percent increase, while those with low pressure turbochargers can achieve an increase between twenty-five and thirty percent. Incorrect parameters sent to the electronic control unit can also result in a drop in performance.

It is important to note that in an older vehicle the increase in performance will not be as noticeable as in a new vehicle. This is due to the fact that in an older vehicle the wear and tear of the engine just means that it will not be able to efficiently handle the new parameters as well as a new engine.

If you want to be masters of the hi-way and have a real beast under the hood of your car, then by choosing chip tuning you have made the right choice.

Not Original Or Genuine Auto Parts

08/01/2013

Each owner of a car is faced with a choice of spare parts, non-genuine (pirate) or original, to select for repairs or maintenance.

You will find many arguments in favor of both the new and second hand parts. When supporting original parts, think of methods to preserve the full functionality of the car when replacing spare parts with original ones. According to those who support this argument this is the only sure-fire method to guarantee full functionality and durability of your vehicle. It's hard to argue with such arguments.

People who are willing to make compromises when selecting spare parts also use many arguments, the most crucial of which is that the price of an original spare parts is quite high due to the brand name alone. Many car owners are unwilling to pay a high price given that the market has many manufacturers of spare parts with similar characteristics.

The truth however is in somewhere the middle. Now take a look at advantages and disadvantages of the two options:

Genuine spare parts: The units and parts are similar to those placed in the production line by the vehicle manufacturer. They must have factory markings and the producer unique serial number.

The main advantages are:

  • Workmanship and quality of the spare parts meet all the requirements and guarantees from the manufacturer of the car.

  • A wide assortment of online parts that one hundred percent satisfy any need for maintenance and repair.

  • The use of original spares by a certified mechanic will not negate any warranties or guarantees carried by the vehicle manufacturer.

  • The spare part is guaranteed to be made of the correct quality materials as certified by the vehicle manufacturer.

  • The safety of the vehicle is guaranteed due to the workmanship and quality of materials used in the manufacture of the spare part.

     

Disadvantages of original spare parts:

  • The high price. Branded spare parts are on average nearly 50 percent higher than the price of non-branded spare parts that may even have been made in the same factory.

  • Delivery time. If the parts are not in stock it can take weeks for an ordered part to arrive from the original part supplier.

  • Often the brander spare parts are manufactured by an outsourced company, which also supplied the after market with unbranded spare parts, so you might be baying simply for the logo on the box of the supplied spare part.
