New Styling Dashboard Car Modifications Tips

Now a days interior modification of the car has really grabbed the attention of the car enthusiasts and they are showing up with different innovations almost every day. The reason is simple. More innovations in the car’s interior materials. Car interior is a wide terminology but I will, for the sake of simplicity, stick myself to the car dashboard.

Obviously the first thing of the car interior which comes into notice is the dashboard bearing lots of panels and slots and if job well done, one can really impress his mate by the help of some cool dashboard styling tips. Luckily for the car modifiers, the automotive industry has moved far from that same old fashioned, boring standard plastic. Many types of material like leather, carbon fiber, fur e.t.c are available for dashboard styling. So giving your dashboard a new look is no more difficult. Only your creativity is the limit.

I will be discussing some cool car dashboard styling tips which will be proved helpful in gaining you an extra edge among your peers. First of all complimenting your overall car theme is extremely important. Even the brand reputation of your car is important. For instance if you own a luxury car, motor sport style interior will not be suitable for your car and vice versa, of course!

Modifying or adding new gauges in your dashboard is really helpful. Wide variety of gauges and different meters are available. Even you don’t have to integrate different gauges one by one as the whole complete set of digital dashboards are available making this modification job even more easy. Gauges are helpful in monitoring oil pressure, voltages, temperature e.t.c but don’t get carried away with them and start unnecessarily adding them into your dashboard or you will end up in giving your car a “spaceship look”.

Informations Audio System Cars..

Choosing the best car audio system that works for your car and your style can be difficult. You will need to plan ahead before you buy because you don’t want to spend a single dollar on trials and errors. Start by visualizing the look that you want and try to research about the audio output and audio quality that you may want for your car. To help you further, here are some tips on how to choose the best car audio system.

Check your in-dash receiver. Always see how much space you have and what dimensions should your car stereo system should be. Buying a system that is too big can cause a big headache on your part while buying a car audio system that is too small will cause as much trouble as the latter. Always take measurements and ask about the best audio kit for your car type.

After adding gauges divert your attention towards the steering wheel. New sporty small diameter steering wheel will enhance your sporty looks provided if you are willing to give a sporty look or different varieties are available. The choice is yours. Drilled aluminum pedals are in now a days for accelerators and brakes however even more varieties are available with wider foot prints. Complement the gear knob with dashboard and gauges. Remember being haphazard will ruin your hard work. Always stay consistent to one decided theme.

When modifying the gauges, the standard, factory fitted gauges can be removed by removing the instrument panel. However few cars would require complete disintegration of the dashboard to install these gauges. In most cases the companies provide with the new gauges, complete kits to replace the old one. White backgrounds are preferred in most cases as they are popular and when the dashboard illumination goes on at the night it helps in glowing, the numbers of the gauges and amazingly itself goes darker giving a really clear look to your gauges to the outsiders and as a whole real cool look to the dashboard

BBR Ford Focus RS MK2

Engine and Transmission Part 1

With all the goals and requirements in place all that was left was to start. But where do you start a project like this? With the goals set so lofty we knew the chassis/body and suspension were going to play a staring role in development. The front and rear OEM sub-frame were going to need work. To allow larger tires to be run and a larger rear differential the entire rear sub-frame was removed and replaced with a tubular sub-frame complete with stainless heim joints and over sized custom hubs. The front sub-frame was also completely re-worked. With the interior removed a custom roll cage dominates the interior. Massive strut braces and tubes intertwine the car to make it one rigid structure. Along with those upgrades, At Speed preformed a large array of other modifications.

To further build on the race car inspired chassis, Ohlins coil-overs were used to allow a large range of adjustments to the car. The custom hubs allowed for the use of wheel studs in place of the OEM wheel bolts as well as handle the added stresses.

All of these modifications are skinned beneath a custom wide body. Even the doors had to be replaced to accommodate the extra large fender flares. Total body width was pushed to almost 80 inches. The pieces are all fabricated out of carbon fiber to help keep the weight down and allow for radical body lines. With cutting edge technology major body panels such as doors were able to be kept to weights under 15 pounds. Reduced weight and added downforce were a driving force in the design. Even at this early stage of the build one thing was clear. This car would end up a far cry from what the conservative designers had originally conceived.

Engine and Transmission Part I

  http://carmodifcation.blogspot.com/

With the goals set and the suspension and chassis work well under way, attention was turned to the engine and related drive train parts. Upon removing the engine and disassembling it, one thing was clear. The stock block with un-supported sleeves was not up to the task at hand. To address this issue the block was prepped for Darton forged sleeves.

  http://carmodifcation.blogspot.com/

Down time for the block to be re-sleeved created a chance to flow the head and evaluate what needed to be done there. With all of this going on Innovative Turbo was simultaneously working on a custom ball bearing turbo for the project. What they came up with was based on their F266 ceramic ball bearing turbo, which off the shelf was almost perfect for the demands of this project.

  http://carmodifcation.blogspot.com/

To feed the engine, Chip Center Stockholm was contracted for a high flow fuel rail. Flow numbers in hand and with a turbo in progress, we plugged in the numbers to calculate the theoretical final horsepower for the engine. It was then we realized that even with the upgrade to the Evo VIII driveline that the stock differential would be a weak link. Fortunately, the solution was an easy one. ATS custom manufactures a carbon differential that is almost a drop in unit. To protect all of the components, Motorspot.com supplied us with Motul fluids. So what are the final projected horsepower numbers?

Toyota Prius

Talking about cool and sexy hybrid cars, it is must to discuss about one of the coolest cars, the Toyota Prius.

Toyota Prius is a popular hybrid car that has made it way in the crazy sexy cars, beating many luxury and super cars.
