In general, car modifications mainly include the power system, chassis upgrades, control systems, exterior and interior modifications, among others. There are more than a dozen items allowed for modification, which are sufficient for ordinary car enthusiasts. It is recommended to stay at the decorative level because performance upgrades will always change various parameters of the original car, more or less damaging the frame and suspension. Engine modifications: intake system, exhaust system, fuel supply system, crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, valve train, compression ratio, turbocharging system, etc. Chassis modifications: braking system, tires, rims and wheel covers, suspension, anti-roll bars, etc. Electrical equipment modifications: ignition system, headlights, signal lights, decorative lights, etc. Body modifications: body kits, sunroofs, spoilers, stickers, etc. Interior modifications: trim panels, seats, car appliances (water dispensers, refrigerators, microwaves), etc. Safety device modifications: anti-theft devices, reverse radar, safety warning systems, etc. Entertainment and information system modifications: audio systems, car hands-free kits, walkie-talkies, car GPS, car black boxes, etc. Off-road vehicle modifications: protective bars, roll cages, off-road tires, off-road lights, winches, etc. Generally, upgrading the power starts with the exhaust pipe, in the order of the tail section, mid-tail section, and full section. If the full section is replaced, it usually requires upgrading the computer program as well, and of course, upgrading the catalytic converter. Then comes the intake system, which can be replaced with a "mushroom head" that allows more air intake. Major manufacturers' accessories also include vehicle-specific intake air deflectors. Additionally, you can add or replace intercoolers, oil coolers, blow-off valves, etc. For higher requirements, you can replace the turbocharger, expand the cylinder, etc. From the simplest addition of reinforcement parts to upgrading stabilizer bars, wheels, tires, and then replacing shock absorbers, brakes, etc. The first step in chassis modification should start with choosing a suitable good tire. Tire modifications are nothing more than widening, reducing the aspect ratio, and changing the tire material. Unless there is a significant increase in horsepower, simply widening the tires by 10~20mm is usually enough to handle more aggressive driving on general roads without changing the steering characteristics and suspension load. The fastest and simplest way to change the car's appearance is to add aerodynamic kits. The so-called aerodynamic kits, commonly known as body kits, basically include the intake grille, side skirts, rear bumper, and rear spoiler (tail wing), etc. Good kits usually reduce the car's speed, making it perform more stably.

Why is the car shaking violently?

The causes of car shaking are as follows: 1. The most common reason is severe engine carbon buildup, or issues with the ignition system, or possible misalignment of the drive half-shaft. 2. If the car shakes due to severe engine carbon buildup, owners should immediately clean the fuel system and check the idle speed motor for carbon deposits. If the ignition system is faulty, they should promptly inspect the spark plugs for carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. If the drive half-shaft is misaligned, meaning it is no longer a straight shaft but bent at some point, this can also cause shaking. 3. This condition typically manifests as the car running smoothly at idle but starting to shake when driven, with the shaking becoming more severe as the vehicle speed increases. If your car exhibits these symptoms, you should check the half-shaft for issues. 4. Another phenomenon is car shaking caused by uneven brake discs. This occurs when drivers do not develop good driving habits, frequently braking hard or abruptly. In such cases, immediate repairs are also necessary.

What time does the morning session of Subject 4 start?

Subject 4 is scheduled for 4-5 exams per day, divided into 2 sessions in the morning and 2-3 sessions in the afternoon. The first exam starts at 9:00 AM; the second exam starts at 10:00 AM; the third exam is at 1:00 PM; the fourth exam is at 2:00 PM; and the fifth exam is at 3:00 PM. The schedule and number of sessions may vary by location. Subject 4 exam content: Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Subject 4 exam precautions: Sit upright to ensure your face can be captured by the camera; you can answer questions out of order, but each question allows only one selection—once an answer is clicked and confirmed, it cannot be changed; if 5 unanswered questions remain, the system will automatically close the exam and indicate a failing result, requiring the student to reschedule a retake; after the new driving test regulations, the exam question types have changed, with multiple-choice questions increasing from 5 to 10—ensure not to omit or over-select answers.

What Causes the Car Clutch to Not Spring Back and Fail to Engage Gears?

There are two main reasons for the malfunction where the car clutch does not spring back and fails to engage gears: either the clutch return spring has fallen off or broken, or the clutch pedal is broken. Clutch Return Spring Falling Off: The rebound of the clutch is achieved by the return spring. Therefore, when the clutch return spring falls off or breaks, the clutch cannot spring back. If the pedal does not spring back, the engine's power cannot be transmitted to the transmission, leaving the vehicle without power. In such cases, simply replacing the clutch return spring will resolve the issue. Clutch Pedal Breakage: If the clutch pedal is broken, the pressure applied by the driver to the clutch pedal cannot be transmitted to the transmission. This problem can only be solved by replacing the entire clutch assembly. A clutch that does not disengage seriously affects the normal use of the vehicle. The best solution is to call for towing assistance. If the clutch return spring is broken, only the clutch spring needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the entire clutch assembly. However, if the clutch pedal is damaged, then the entire clutch pedal assembly must be replaced.

What are the differences between gear oil and engine oil?

Gear oil and engine oil have the following differences: 1. Different working environments: Gear oil is mainly used in manual transmissions, reducers, and differentials; while engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine, primarily used inside the car engine. Comparatively, the working environment of engine oil is more demanding. 2. Different functions: Gear oil is mainly used in gearboxes; engine oil is mainly used in engines. Gear oil is primarily used in gearboxes to lubricate the surfaces of various gears, preventing issues like gear sintering and excessive wear; engine oil performs cleaning, lubrication, cooling, and sealing functions within the engine. 3. Different properties: Gear oil is strongly alkaline; engine oil is weakly alkaline. Gear oil emphasizes protection for gears under high temperatures and is strongly alkaline; engine oil focuses on its low-temperature fluidity, being weakly alkaline, and requires high oxidation resistance to adapt to the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of the engine. 4. Different viscosity grades: Gear oil has higher viscosity than engine oil. Gear meshing is line contact, so gear oil must have extremely high viscosity to form an oil film at the gear meshing points; the lubrication points in the engine are mostly surface contact, requiring lower viscosity standards.
