[Aika car shopping guide original]
Looking at the current automotive market, rejuvenation has become a common topic. At the beginning of vehicle design, major brands hope to win the favor of young consumers through fashionable and sporty appearance. But even for supercar brands such as Lamborghini and Ferrari, many car owners carry out a series of modifications after picking up the car. Why retrofit? In my opinion, it can be roughly summarized into two kinds, one is that the owner does not like to be the same, and the original car cannot show personality; the other is that the original state of the model is not satisfied with the performance and other aspects. Today, let's enjoy a few relatively mature modification cases and draw some modification inspiration from them.
Luxury factory style
There are many modified doorways, which is also a test for the personal aesthetics of the owner. Many consumers did not spend less money, but because the aesthetic could not keep up or the modification was not in place, they changed their cars to the style of auto parts city. For such a group of people who have the financial resources but are not good at researching modifications, I recommend choosing a route that is not easy to make mistakes, that is, buying the royal modification brand and the modification program provided by the modification factory.
Whether it is Audi Q8 or RS Q8, it seems that it is not fierce and not expensive, which is their common problem. In response to this phenomenon, Audi's royal modification brand ABT has tailored exclusive kits for the two models and sold them in limited quantities. Although the price is not high, it is indeed not cheap, and it costs 53999 yuan to spend a set.
The ABT kit is on the upper body of the Audi Q8, and the front face is modified to be extremely exaggerated. The radical front lip is combined with the glossy black crisscrossing middle net, presenting a visual effect of choosing people to eat. The addition of the front lip also makes the front face more heavy, and the visual center of gravity is reduced.
In order to ensure the integrity of the work, ABT also gave a very sporty diffuser to the rear of the vehicle, and integrated a bilateral four-out exhaust into it. It is worth mentioning that the wind knife connecting the rear bar and the diffuser can be described as genuine, and the texture is far more than that cheap patch.
After seeing ABT, let's appreciate the more luxurious Mansory. The front face of the Range Rover is all too familiar to everyone, and with the blessing of the front of the Manor, the visual impact is further amplified. The design of the left and right vents is not exaggerated, and the carbon fiber trim divides the sense of hierarchy and highlights the aristocratic atmosphere. This kit has been copied by many small factories in the modification market, but most of them can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be seen closely, and it is impossible to reach the high level of authentic Mansory in detail.
The side skirt components are deceptively simple, but they optimize the turbulence of the lower part of the body and are very expressive in terms of styling. The entire set of side skirts extends backwards from the front door until the end of the rear fender area, adding to the heaviness of the body side.
Unlike the large knife and axe of the German modified model, the Mansory maintained the elegance of the range rover rear. But at the same time, by adding a rear spoiler module and a bilateral four-out exhaust tail, the tail is more domineering. In addition, the clear glaze surface of the kit and the large, thick carbon fiber weave texture significantly enhance the sophistication and express the wild nature of the Range Rover.
Mansory (MansoryCooperation GmbH) is one of the top modification brands on the market, and its works are based on carbon fiber materials, and there are so many successful works about it that people affectionately call it "selling carbon". However, this brand is destined to belong to a very small number of RMB players, because the above set of encirclement is 1.38 million!
Summary: The ABT and Mansory modifications have significantly improved the visual impact of the Audi Q8 and Range Rover, while also taking into account the effects of optimizing aerodynamics. Choosing this particular modification scheme, you don't have to worry about the design, the brand of the modification parts has also reached a high degree of uniformity, the only drawback may be that its price is too high.
Many riders are unfamiliar with HellaFlush, but if taken literally, Hella is an abbreviation of Hell of, meaning special and extraordinary. Flush means flush, which means that the extension of the rim or tire is flush with the extension of the wheel brow. HellaFlush not only had to ensure that the rims were flushed, but also lowered the height of the body low enough.
The 7th Generation Golf R is well known in the tuning circle, and its compact body has a very amazing modification potential. For this extremely low-key looking model, the pursuit of individuality seems to be the only way out, so the combination of Golf R and HellaFlush has achieved unexpected results.
Many people say that hellaflush-style modifications are sensational, but in my opinion, this is actually a kind of understanding of the modification by the owner himself. Users who can play Hellflush have a good idea of their vehicle's rim J value, ET parameters, etc. And many people are tired of playing light reform, only to choose to join this ranks.
Based on the central idea of Offset is everything, the Golf 7R has a negative rim of ET-33. However, although the width of the original wheel rim is enough to support this modification idea, the performance in terms of concave and convexity can only be said to be decent, so it is necessary to "change shoes".
In my opinion, since the hellaflush low-lying route has been chosen, what is pursued is nothing more than ideological style, and if it is combined with a rim like BBS RS, the effect will be more shocking than the current original circle. Of course, if you just like the minimalist style and want it to have a deep-recessed visual effect, then the 5-spoke items launched by brands such as ROTA and NICHE are also quite common in HF modifications.
Speaking of this Golf 7R, the form of reducing the height of the body through the grinding tooth suspension can no longer satisfy the owner, so the ACCUAIR control system was chosen. As we all know, the lifting and lowering of the strangulation suspension requires the lift and then adjusted by a special person, which is very cumbersome. The aerodynamic suspension of ACCUAIR, which only needs to be controlled by the remote control in the car, is known as the low-lying soul maker.
Summary: Aerodynamic shock absorption, many people will feel that there is no control, immature, not steadfast, this varies from person to person. If you are track controller, it is recommended that you abandon pneumatics. If you're mainly focused on daily transportation and want to pursue that feeling of arrogance, then pneumatic suspension is a good choice. Of course, everything is not perfect, fish and bear paws can not be combined, and only they know whether they are suitable.

VIP style refers to VIP style, this name comes from the English word "VIP", which means "very important character". In the early 1990s, this style gradually emerged and was frequently used in medium and large luxury motorhomes. Unlike the gangsters and street racing of the same period, the VIP style focuses on luxury, and this modification is loved by Japanese communities.
As early as 1991, in order to fill the gap between ES and LS, Lexus launched the first generation of GS models and used it as a killer to enter the European and American markets. Although the recognition of GS models in China is not high, it does have a lot of heat in the modification circle. In the course of more than 20 years of development, lexus GS has produced many modifications. But the most classic ones have to be models that are modified according to the VIP style.
From the four-eyed headlights on the front face, we can tell that this is a second-generation Lexus GS model code-named "S160". The car was first introduced in August 1997, and models such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Jaguar XJ of the same period also used a similar four-eye design, which looked elegant and agile.
In terms of appearance, the model in the picture uses the Model Parfume Phantom Ga-Mu kit and the Baby Bear Gangster front fenders that VIP players are familiar with. After parking, the height of the vehicle is minimized by AirForce aerodynamic suspension and Accuair control system. At this time, some of the wheels can be hidden under the wheel arch to form an "eight" foot style, such a VIP LOOK I think anyone will look at it more.
For a VIP Lexus GS with such a stunning appearance, the interior also needs a lot of time and effort to do. Owners deliberately find exquisite decorations produced by JUNCTION PRODUCE from all over the world to decorate their cars, which is unique.
After looking at the modification case, let's summarize the major elements of the pure VIP style modified car. First of all, the vehicle needs black paint to highlight the Japanese community temperament. Secondly, ultra-low bodywork is essential, and this effect is generally achieved through aerodynamic shock absorption. This is followed by a large galvanized wheel rim, a body kit with a strong sense of snugness but not exaggerated lines. When these are all modified, and then replace the car with sofa seats, and put some accessories according to your own preferences, the unique AND VIP modification with a non-arrogant temperament is completed.
Summary: If you like this style, there are four Japanese VIP tuning brands that you should not miss: Wald International, Junction Produce, AutoCouturehe and Insurance. Among them, the founder of Junction Produce, Takefu Takahiro, can be said to be the pioneer of the VIP style, when he was 20 years old, he and his friends set off a wave of VIP modification in Osaka, so it is recommended that riders with modification ideas can start with this brand. However, it should be noted that most of the integrated modification solutions provided by JP, if the purchase of a single part may not be able to achieve the best results, you must think about it before starting.

Power is a large section in the modification and upgrading, and many car owners have chosen the road of brushing the program in order to get the thrill of adrenaline rush. For the first order with little improvement, the original engine is enough to cope with this strength, but for the aggressive second and third orders, the engine needs to be fully modified. Let's take a look at what routes can be taken to improve power.
We take Honda's high-performance engine as an example, when it comes to this topic, the "holy relics" of B16B, B18C-R, K20A, and F20C will first come to mind of the Redheads. Among them, the K20A's name can be said to be the loudest. This engine adopts a square cylinder structure, which solves the problem of low torque deficiency of high-rotation engines. When the three-stage VTC is turned on, the K20A can erupt into a hair-raising roar, and the speed of nearly 9000rpm poisons the redheads. This also explains why many Honda players, even if they eat instant noodles for a few months, have to save money to transplant a set of K20A.
The 8th generation Civic in the text is transplanted with a set of well-known K20A engines, and at the same time, the owner has increased its power to 230 horsepower after using a computer special tuning program, and the speed can reach a terrifying 9300rpm. However, it should be noted that the substantial increase in power is bound to be accompanied by the internal strengthening of the engine, otherwise it is likely to be overwhelmed and eventually lead to various problems. To this end, the owner replaced the engine interior with TODA forged pistons and forged connecting rods to cope with the challenge of high loads.
In the dimension of power modification, I think that except for those enthusiasts, ordinary players and small white players will not choose the path of transplanting engines. Therefore, the following will introduce several relatively worry-free, cost-effective and easy-to-operate power modification schemes for everyone.
The easiest way to boost power is to burn more. We can increase the intake volume to allow more air to enter the cylinder, so that the combustion is more complete. However, for example, the boring cylinder boosts the displacement of the engine itself and uses NOS in a way that is too professional, in contrast, the way of installing high-flow air filters and cold hit air intake is obviously more suitable for ordinary people.
In addition, the brushing program for supercharged models can also achieve good results. The main purpose of the brush program is to increase the boost value, so that more air is pressed into the engine, thus obtaining a power boost. In addition, the original procedures of the vehicle are more concerned about fuel consumption and oil products, and are more conservative in fuel injection and ignition. But programs like the one launched by the modification brand focus on power, which is why after many cars are brushed, the acceleration will be significantly improved. At present, the more stable first-order programs on the market mainly include APR (Volkswagen), MTM (Audi), PP special tuning (BMW), FIT-TUNING axe special tuning (Mercedes-Benz) and so on.
In addition, the modified exhaust can also improve the vehicle power to a certain extent, but the effect is slightly weaker. In addition, if the modified exhaust is too smooth, it will make the back pressure of the engine smaller, and the low torque is likely to be affected. Therefore, if you just want to increase the power, this modification idea is not recommended to try it in the first step.
Editor's comments: Modification is a process of exploration, and in order to avoid detours as much as possible, I think the following points need to be done. First, be clear about what you want before you change it. Only after identifying a modification idea and unswervingly going on, the finished product will be recognized. On the contrary, randomly stacking modifications according to your preferences will only make your car unclassified. Second, we should visit more forums and communicate with car friends. As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees after the people cool, some of the wheel data adapted to their own models, has been groped out by the predecessors, we order according to the data they provide, it will be much better than their own groping. Finally, it is really recommended that you choose genuine modifications to buy. Although they are expensive, the handling of details is definitely better than those of fakes, and it is crucial to ensure the safety of people and cars. Finally, I wish all modding enthusiasts the work they want.
