  Car tuning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Car tuning is both an industry and a popular hobby, in which a car is modified in order to improve its performance and handling and better suit the owners driving style.
As most cars leave the factory set up for average driver expectations and average conditions, tuning has become a way to personalise the characteristics of the vehicle to the owners preference.
Car tuning is related to auto racing, although most performance cars never compete.

 Car Tuning Information
The steering ratio is the ratio between the number of degrees you turn the steering wheel, and the steer angle of the car's front wheels.
Cars that push are much easier and safer to drive than cars that are more neutral or oversteer.
Be careful of going too far; there is no advantage to having your car be oversteer, and even a neutral car can be a handful when you get on the power, since asking the rear tires to accelerate you will reduce their available side force and will tend to make your car spin out.

 Nitro Engine Tuning
Reading about engine tuning is helpful, but you need to experiment with your engine to improve your tuning skills.
Tuning the clutch to engage at the proper rpm puts more power to the ground than most could imagine.
Engine tuning is not a fl art; it just takes time to learn the particulars so you can maximize your power plant's performance.

 Car Tuning — Suspension Brake Setup —Road Course — Circle Track
Wheelhop is less likely on production-based sports cars with an independent rear suspension because the center- section of the axle is hung by the chassis, but it can still occur—especially if an unskilled driver is punching the the brakes and shifting the gears.
The goal for tuning with camber is to maximize the contact patch of the tire in relation to the changing geometry of the suspension when the car is cornering.
When the car is on a set of scales, turn the wheels to the right and left to see how the diagonal crossweight changes on cars with a lot of positive caster.

 Car modding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Car modding is when a vehicle (usually a passenger car) is modified in an attempt to make it look better, to have better performance, or both.
Cars are often modified in a manner that is considered to be "tasteless or unsightly ", an example of this being bright colors and low-cost exterior/interior modifications.
Tasteless car modifications are one of the components of the British stereotype of the "chav".

 tuning low? - Car Audio Forum - CarAudio.com
I wouldnt reccomend tuning below 32hz as its a chore to search for low enough songs to bump loud, when tuning a bit higher, all songs are loud except the ones that would have been with 32 tuning.
Tuning higher than 35hz makes kick drums too peaky for me and bass guitar seem over bearing on some songs.
And yes it is a kenwood 9152d and i curently have it wired for a 1 ohm load and have never had a problem with it.

 RC Car Engine Tuning/Setup
If the low speed needle tuning is so far off that it won't idle, simply bump the idle position higher until the engine will reliably run at a higher idle.
Variables like the clutch setting, gearing, traction, atmospheric conditions and even the car's weight will have an effect on this last 5% of tuning performance, and the optimum setting can only be reached by careful on-track tuning.
You may have noted that many top drivers' cars have several loops of fuel tubing wrapped in their cars and wondered what was the purpose.
