Catalysts : >Catalysts are a dating agency for exhaust pollutants

MPG or power? : >Power or economy - makers are getting wise to the fact that we want both.

Dashboard styling : Treat your eyes to a nicely finished interior. You'll spend much time looking at the car interior.

Turbos : >Turbos allow small and light engines to produce the same power as a large engine twice its size but with lower fuel consumption.

Paint Protection : >Car paint has many enemies so it needs all the protection it can get.

GTi-R Tuning : >The Pulsar GTi-R is phenomenally quick - considering the year it was built it still remains one of the fastest mass production hatches around.

Engine Swaps : >An engine swap remains one of the most cost effective ways to increase the power of a car.

Window Tinting : >There are lots of benefits to window tints, however not all tints are legal in certain countries.

Events :

Valve Springs : >Springs work very hard in your engine so your tuning project must take this into account. Higher rated springs are essential if you want to maximise power output and reliability.

Car websites :

Water Injection : >Unless you are suffering from engine knock water injection is pretty irrelevant but can literally save an enthusiastic tuning project.

Turbo uprating : >Torquecars strongly recommend an upgrade to a ball bearing based turbo unit - they spool up faster, tolerate higher speeds and hotter temperatures.

NEW Supercharger Kits : >The Mosselmann Turbo and Supercharger kits represent fantastic value and are one of the most significant modifications around.

Superchargers : >Any compression of air will raise the air temperature, so add an intercooler to keep the air charge cool.

Engine oil : >When starting a car allow the engine to tick over for 10 seconds before driving it. Don\'t EVER leave a car idling though!

300zx Tuning : >The 300zx is sadly overlooked because of its scarcity. It has a bullet proof engine and is just begging to be tuned up.

The Drag strip : >After your first quarter mile run you will be totally addicted.

Drag launches : >The single biggest thing slowing your quarter mile time down is you!

Ricer or Racer :

Adding a Turbo : >Put a turbo on an engine with an 10:1 compression ratio and watch it go bang!

drifting techniques : >Smooth steady steering movements and throttle controls are key. Stay calm and in control at all times.

Fuel and additives : >You need to provide a precise ratio of fuel and air to avoid running rich or lean, both can cause problems in an engine

Caliper painting : >Safety first: brake dust contains asbestos and as such should be considered lethal to inhale it due to the high risk of developing lung cancers!

Sport Catalysts : >The catalyst has been viewed as a major enemy of your cars power output, but does the reality bear this out?

Flip Paint : >Flip paint looks best on cars with curvaceous surfaces. It is far from a DIY job though.

Cryogenic Treatments : >Extreme cooling and heating has a massive effect on the engines durability and reliability.

Electric Water pumps : >When you look at the benefits of electric water pumps you wonder why they are not fitted as standard to cars - but as always it often \'boils\' down to cost!

Exhaust wraps : >Ceramic coatings look cool but thermal wraps appear to give the best under bonnet temperature reductions.

Plastic painting : >Take your time. The final  job will last longer if you spend longer over it in the first place. Good preparation is VITAL!

Respraying a car : >A professional respray can only be achieved by a professional sprayer in a filtered booth with good quality spray tools. But a patient DIY\'er can still do a good job.

Camshafts : >A longer duration means more time to suck air and fuel into the engine = more power.

Adding nitrous : >Adding Nitrous is a very easy high power modification. The refills can be a hidden cost though.

Performance clutches : >Big power requires a powerful clutch unless you want to change the clutch every few weeks!

206 Tuning : >Peugeot seem intent on taking the fun out of the 206 when they designed the air intake.

Bora Tuning : >VW Bora tuning is relatively easy with the huge range of parts on offer from it\'s kid brother the Golf.

Killing the car : >10 things that will kill your car! How many are you guilty of?

Headlight Conversions : >Please check that the headlight conversion kit and bulbs you buy are approved for street legal use.

Sports exhausts : >Back pressure:- To little back pressure and you will lose all your torque and the car will seem gutless. If you can get your fist inside - it\'s too big!
