The word “tuning” is translated from English, as “adjustment”, “adjustment”. The concept “tuning of cars” became for us already habitual though frequently under it to mean only presence of plastic overlays on a body and tuned windows. Tuning can really conclude in itself solid enough changes in a design of the engine, a suspension bracket and other systems of the car.

Tuning… When the inveterate motorist hears this word, its heart starts to fight more often. Art to give to one of tens and hundreds thousand cars - of “twins” descending from conveyors the person. Art to give feeling, that your car is YOURS. Some directions of tuning are similar to the scientific researches, some - to the art, some - to shamanism. But all of them are based on one - desire of the person to feel not such as all. This desire can arise both at the owner 9 and at the owner of 600th Mercedes. There is a demand - there are also offers. “Exact adjustment” under desire of the owner - a tuning basis. And there is it in the most different image.

The most primitive - external furnish. From banal stickers, moldings, tonings to chroming. Seldom who at this level is engaged in calculations and researches. These actions do not bear practical loading, thank God, if do not harm, though there are exceptions. High-speed auto are really useful a spoiler, strengthening a clip to road and additional air inlets to cooling of brakes. And here for serial cars sense of a rear wing - at the best to add individualities. Not all samples become by calculations, is frequent - it was possible from a bay - barahty - and is fine.

Further there are insignificant technical changes. The Chip-tuning, the “adjusted” system of release. All it will allow to increase power of the motor without what or capital alterations of the engine.

The following level - the changes mentioning units and knots of the car. Here already “on a knee” to put experimtens it is not necessary, many works demand scientific calculations or at least - practical experience. Most the variant of tuning of automobile cars aside as though the “ring” sports is popular. More soon, this the first, that do with the new model, attracted to tuning firms. Springs shorten, shock-absorbers - are more rigid. Basically anything difficult, but at factories - the designer too knowingly salaries receive that. Blows by the bottom about roughness - the most harmless from this, that can be at not the skilful approach. Suspension brackets varies, controllability varies. Only experts can spend works so that these important characteristics have not worsened or did not become dangerous. Therefore already solid firms, as a rule the same are engaged in this tuning, as develop elements of a suspension bracket for the serial car. In the course of tests, as a rule, there is a complete set of springs and the shock-absorbers calculated for each other. To lift a suspension bracket that would be actual for Russia, by the way, even more difficult - here already it is necessary to consider displacement of the centre of gravity.

Here go - transmissions with the changed transfer numbers, replacement of reducers. Such updates(it is natural, not considering “extreme measures”) do not demand serious reorganisation of all car. After all cars basically are created under typical the consumer and suppose displacement of separate parametres in a certain corridor. But not all. For example, installation “short shifts” cam-shafts often demands changes in geometry of channels of a head of the block and if the maximum turns thus increase - changes of characteristics of springs. The increase in capacity of the engine is frequent demands the strengthened coupling, a transmission, drives of wheels, more effective brakes. What here a homemade product! For these works the complex combinations going to a series only after tests pay off.

There is a studio with certain specialisation. They do the work or prepare sets for installation by others. Sometimes orders for a root understand more large firms and are on sale further under other names. Some manufacturers of shock-absorbers, optics, brake systems have in the program production with “special” characteristics for different models of cars. They appear in catalogues of tuning studio, are recommended to customers. The following step is characteristic for firms - of “technicians”. With development they raise investments in researches. High-grade technical miracles - super-power and extralight engines, transmissions with tremendous characteristics become result. Among epithets “super”, there is also a superprice. Besides exclusivity it is established also by materials - easy strong alloys, composites. Not many rather pleasant technical trifles can cost absolutely cheaply, but to bring notable convenience and advantage.

It is possible to speak about the attracting world of tuning not a little. By and large, “Hi-End”-audio in car salon - too “an embodiment of dreams of the owner”. The main thing, that workings out of experts, sports engineers and artists - of designers, high technologies and tests - come to the usual motorist in the form of the checked up innovations and improvements which are necessary to it and its true car. There is an adjustment of a concrete wheelbarrow under the concrete person, its desires and possibility - that is - tuning.
