The Toyota Supra is one of the earlier sports cars manufactured by the Toyota Corporation. Its production started in 1993, and the latest in 1996. Since then, the production of Toyota Supra models has stopped. What hasn’t stopped, however, is the legendary appeal this model has impressed upon car enthusiasts. Until now, fans of Toyota Supra keep on popping out, asking questions of curiosity - the most eminent of which is how to tune their Toyota Supra.

Toyota Supra runs on twin turbo engines and has about 320-27 BHP, making it able to run as fast as 220 MPH. For a sports car, 220 MPH is a tolerable speed rate. However, if you expect to pit your Supra against other recent and faster sports cars in the race track, then you will really need to subject your car to some fine ‘ol Toyota Supra tuning.

There are a variety of ways by which you can tune your Toyota Supra. These include re-mapping your ECU, and to stretch the limit, submit your car to a full engine upgrade. You can also install turbo chargers and other efficient components. Replacing your tires is also an upgrade you might want to do, though some Supra owners don’t realize the importance of such at first.

Your least bet in Toyota Supra tuning is $200,000. This will go a far way, if you want to tune your car through the mentioned ways. The first, most important step before you tune your Supra all-out, though, is to change replace your tires with soft, compound tires. This way, the friction and force problem Toyota Supra models are often known for will be solved. Also, when re-mapping the ECU, make sure that you know precisely the know-how of doing such. If not, then Car Tuning Central will be most happy to help you.

Toyota Yaris Tuning

Toyota Yaris is one of the latest feature cars of the Toyota. It has gone to be so successful that production of this latest Toyota flagship model is still in its momentum. Sporting a hip and compact look, the Toyota Yaris is, after all, an incarnation of what most Toyota fans have been asking for from Toyota. A stylish, compact and efficient car is what you asked for - and Toyota Yaris is what you get.

Toyota Yaris is ideally tailored as a family sedan that can accommodate four passengers. Comfort is perhaps one of its best features. With features like satellite navigation system, touch screen operation, Bluetooth, USB connection and full in-car sound system, you will, no doubt, feel the comfort of driving in your Toyota Yaris. And it can be bought for a $11,000 retail price, if you look hard enough. Performance-wise, however, Toyota Yaris does not have much to be proud of. At 50 to 150 BHP, the Toyota Yaris is not exactly your favorite runner. That’s why Toyota Yaris tuning may be exactly what you need.

Made of tensile steel, Toyota Yaris is rigid but lightweight - a feature you can take advantage of. Boosting your car engine’s with a supercharger may power up your engine’s efficiency and performance to as much as 30%. An ECU Tuning Chip may also do the trick. Be careful, though, because it’s no big secret that these procedures can be precarious.

Or you can use methods that will boost your Yaris’ performance, without handling its engine. The most popular choice is replacement of your tires with 15″ allow wheels. This will make your car a lot lighter, and therefore give less reason for your Yaris to run slow. There are also 18″ wheels, which you can use for traversing terrains. Tuning your Yaris by replacing the wheels can be a good option.

VW Bora Tuning

Car tuning has changed the face of a factory manufactured vehicle to something flashier and sleeker. It has made cars both aesthetically and functionally improved overall and the VW Bora is no exception. Many hobbyists, mostly male enthusiasts, have made this both a hobby and an industry. After Toyota, Ford and GM, VM comes next as industry car producer. According to its German name, VM means “people’s car.”

Bestseller in the US and Canada

VW Bora spans five generations which is essentially known as the sedan version of a small family car as many knows it. It comes with improved interiors but with consequent higher price tag as well. The Bora comes in 2- and 4-door sedans as well as 5-door station wagons. It sold like hotcakes with almost 7 million cars sold worldwide with a third of that figure sold in the US alone.

Advanced Options

Aside from its rounder shape and curved corners which has become the standard features of the VW Bora, it can be modified to include climate control done automatically instead of manually as well as windshield wipers that are sensor controlled whenever as soon as raindrops hit them. The engines are 1.8T four-cylinder or VR5 (5-cylinder) for better power.

Car owners may also opt for additional emissions and electronics equipment to be able to meet standards for air emissions in North America and Europe. For this purpose, PD technology can be utilized which helps produce adequate power and still meet emissions standards. This technology helps inject fuel at extremely high pressure into the vehicle’s combustion chamber which produces fine atomization. This means higher levels of complete combustion. Noise is reduced with the system called “pilot injection.” One can also innovate with front bumpers for better impact-absorption. Try the Electronic Stability Program which includes brake assist and anti-slip regulation.

What is Diesel Tuning?

VW Lupo Tuning

Volkswagen manufactured Lupo for about 13 years from 1998-2005. As one of top four leading car manufacturers, Volkswagen continues to innovate and experiment with variations of cars including this city car known as Lupo. This was replaced eventually by the VW Fox.

Hot Hatch

With majority of car models produced geared towards bigger and heavier cars, VW decided to fill in the gap for lighter and smaller model which gave birth to VW Lupo late in the 1990s. Direct competitors of this brand were Opel’s Agila, Ford’s Ka and Fiat’s Seicento. The VW Lupo has proven itself a good model for car tuning where it has won several awards including Best Micro Car from Fleet News Award in 2001, Best Small Car from Auto Express New Car Honours and Best Fuel Economy from the International Engine of the Year Award, both in 1999. Such awards clearly indicate that the VW Lupo is indeed of world class quality.

Special Edition

The VW Lupo was further improved with Lupo 3L which had every intention of making this the first car model to consume 3 liters of fuel for every 100 kms. Along with this upgrade, a few changes were made to the original Lupo. First, it included a three-cylinder engine powered by diesel with direct injection and turbo charger. The doors, rear-hatch, hood, seat frames, wheels, engine block and suspension system was made into magnesium alloys and light-weight aluminum to come down to a weight 830 kg. There’s also the tiptronic gearbox. Idling periods are avoided with automatic engine starts and stops. Add resistance tires and move the battery to the boot for improved weight distribution and you get a VW Lupo good for racing and showing off. Your Lupo can still be improved to something like this racing car. Anyway, it’s going to be worth more than the usual.
