For the interior, modifications are generally allowed as long as they do not affect safe driving. However, seats cannot be removed, and the internal structure of the vehicle cannot be altered. If you need to change the body color, replace the engine, or swap the body or frame, you must register these changes with the vehicle management office within ten days after the modification. Penalties for illegal vehicle modifications are as follows: 1. Penalty One: Changing the body color, replacing the vehicle's engine or frame without registering the changes within ten days will result in a warning or a fine. 2. Penalty Two: Altering the engine type, modifying the vehicle's exhaust pipe, adding rear spoilers, or installing additional front spotlights will require restoration to the original condition and may result in a warning or a fine. 3. Penalty Three: Changing the tire specifications of a domestic vehicle or adding body skirts and protective devices will require restoration to the original condition and may result in a warning or a fine.

How to Solve the Vibration of a Three-Cylinder Engine?

Solutions for three-cylinder engine vibration: 1. Replace the air filter element. The air filter element is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear, typically requiring replacement every 10,000 kilometers. 2. Replace the spark plugs. Spark plugs have a limited lifespan, and their ignition efficiency significantly decreases after 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, affecting ignition. 3. Adjust the water temperature. The engine operates within a normal temperature range. High water temperature can cause early ignition timing, changes in the air-fuel mixture ratio, thinning of engine oil viscosity, and reduced lubrication performance. 4. Clean the fuel injectors. Impurities in gasoline can clog the injector nozzles, leading to inconsistent fuel injection among the injectors and uneven cylinder operation. 5. Remove carbon deposits, oil sludge, clean the throttle body, and idle valve. Over time, carbon deposits and oil sludge can clog the intake ports, causing poor airflow and affecting idle stability.
