You will learn everything that is most important for car tuning. Find out how to do it legally and aesthetically.
This is a very common question from drivers who want to slightly change and upgrade their vehicle. The truth is that any car can be tuned, but it must be remembered that, despite the changes, the vehicle should be safe not only for the driver, but also for other road users. The changes made must not distract or create danger on the road, because you can get a fine for this – and not a small one.
There are two types of tuning: mechanical and optical. The former mainly involves changes to the engine, drivetrain and fuel system. This type of changes can also include upgrades made to the chassis. They are primarily intended to improve the technical parameters of the vehicle, as well as its performance on the road. They make the vehicle have a higher maximum speed or increase engine power. Such changes are usually decided by drivers who love fast driving full of excitement.
Visual tuning includes any changes made to the appearance of the vehicle. Many people decide to transform their classic car into a sports version. This is quite a laborious task that requires a lot of time and money. Both types of tuning make the car definitely more suited to the needs and expectations of the driver.
One point to make if you decide to tune your car is, of course, the costs you will incur. Any change will cost you money.
With mechanical tuning you can count on the cost of more than 10 thousand zlotys. Of course, everything depends on what changes you decide on, but if you want to change the parameters of the vehicle for the better, it will be necessary to make changes to the engine, transmission and often the computer in the car. Each change means visiting a mechanic and a specialist in increasing power
You can spend slightly less by opting for optical tuning, but again, the prices are dizzying. Many drivers decide to paint or wrap the car with foil, change rims or bumper. This is the cost of 500-20 000 zloty. However, this price may be slightly higher if the changes concern a new car.
If you decide to tune your car, be sure to read what are the general technical requirements that the vehicle should meet on the road. You will find information on what equipment should have a car that travels on the road.
In addition, it is worth remembering that the tuned car will have to pass technical inspections, which are performed once a year. The changes made must therefore be in accordance with the law. For this, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the regulations of the Minister of Infrastructure of December 16, 2003.
Deciding on a car tuning, you need to use common sense and moderation. Remember that the car can not distract other drivers, and what’s more, it should pass technical tests. If the car does not meet basic legal standards, during the inspection police can stick the driver with a fine of 500 zloty.
Already knowing all the rules and ways of tuning a vehicle, you can do it the right way or properly prepare for it.
