Applying black badges to a Chevrolet does not count as modification. A modified vehicle passing the annual inspection proves that the vehicle complies with relevant laws and regulations and is allowed to be driven on the road. The following modifications cannot pass vehicle inspection: Color Modification: There are three colors reserved for special-purpose vehicles and cannot be used. Red is designated for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and white with blue bottom for national administrative law enforcement. Raised Chassis: Replacing the front bumper is feasible after approval, but modifications such as raising the chassis to enhance off-road performance are not allowed. If illegal modifications are discovered during the annual inspection, they must be restored to the original condition. Exhaust System: Modifications such as changing tire specifications, altering the intake system, or modifying the exhaust system are not permitted by national regulations. Modifying the exhaust system may result in failing the tailpipe emissions test during inspection because the catalytic converter is not part of the original vehicle.

What Does 'Ten Oil' Mean?

Ten oil refers to a car consuming 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers driven. The fuel consumption displayed on the car's dashboard is only a reference value, as there are multiple factors affecting fuel consumption, and it is not an absolute parameter. Many factors influence a car's fuel consumption. Even for the same type and displacement of vehicle, differences in driving habits can lead to variations in fuel consumption. If a car's fuel consumption increases during driving, it might be due to poor driving habits. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving. Additionally, if the car frequently travels on poor road conditions, the engine's load increases, requiring more fuel to provide power, which in turn increases fuel consumption.

What Causes White Smoke from Car Exhaust?

Here are the reasons why a car emits white smoke: 1. Problem with the air filter - When the car's air filter is dirty and there is insufficient air intake, white smoke may appear from the exhaust pipe; 2. Malfunction of the carburetor; 3. Issue with the oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe, causing the sensor to fail to provide correct information; 4. Too much water in the gasoline; 5. If the engine runs unevenly, it may be due to wear on the engine cylinder head gasket, creating a gap that allows a large amount of water from the cooling system to enter the combustion chamber; 6. If the smoke increases with acceleration and is accompanied by a pungent odor, this indicates an engine malfunction, and the piston rings need to be replaced.

How to Understand High Gears and Low Gears?

Low gears generally refer to 1st and 2nd gears, while high gears usually refer to gears above 3rd. Due to the higher torque of low gears, they can overcome greater resistance, which is why vehicles typically start and climb steep slopes in low gears. High gears, with their higher rotational speeds, allow the wheels to rotate faster, making them suitable for high-speed driving when shifting to higher gears. Here are some related explanations: 1. The Hazards of High Gear at Low RPM: Driving in high gear at low speeds can easily lead to carbon buildup inside the engine. When carbon deposits accumulate to a certain extent, they can cause issues such as difficulty starting the vehicle, increased fuel consumption, reduced engine power, and sluggish acceleration. The engine's computer has a self-learning function and will remember this driving habit, leading to persistent lack of power in the future. 2. The Hazards of Low Gear at High RPM: Driving in low gear at high RPM means the engine has to rotate more times for the same distance. The more the engine rotates, the more wear and tear it experiences, and more gasoline is consumed. For example, driving the same distance in 2nd gear versus 5th gear will require the engine to rotate at least twice as many times in 2nd gear.

What is the function of a hub centric ring?

Hub centric rings can be used to secure the axle hub and wheel hub. Here is some information about hub centric rings: 1. Forged wheels use bolts to secure the rim, with the center ring fitting over the axle hub to provide fixation and stability, achieved through the connection between the center ring and the axle hub. 2. The diameter of the original axle hub matches that of the center ring in the original wheel hub, allowing the original wheel hub to be installed. 3. In such cases, another component called a Wheel-Center-Hubring, commonly known as a hub centric ring, is needed to secure the axle hub and wheel hub.
