Car Hacks and Mods
So you want to turn your Yugo into a Viper? Sorry--you need a
certified magician. But if you want to turn your sedate sedan
into a mean machine or your used car lot deal into a powerful,
purring set of wheels, you’ve come to the right place.
Car Hacks & Mods will get you turbo-charged up about modifying
your car and guide you smoothly through:
Choosing a car to mod
Considering warranties, legal, and safety issues
Hacking the ECU (Engine Control Unit) to adjust
performance-enhancing factors like fuel injection,
firing the spark plugs, controlling the cooling fan, and more
Replacing your ECU with a plug and play system such as the
APEXi Power FC or the AEM EMS system
Putting on the brakes (the faster you go, the faster
you’ll need to stop)
Setting up your car for better handling and cornering
Written by David Vespremi, automotive expert, frequent guest
on national car-related TV shows, track driving instructor
and self-proclaimed modder, Car Hacks & Mods gets you into
the ECU and under the hood and gives you the keys to:
Choosing new wheels, including everything from the basics
to dubs and spinners
Putting your car on a diet, because lighter means faster
Basic power bolt-ons and more expensive power adders
Installing roll bars and cages to enhance safety
Adding aero add-ons, including front “chin” spoilers, real
spoilers, side skirts, and canards
Detailing, down to the best cleaners and waxes and cleaning
under the hood
Using OBD (on-board diagnostics) for troubleshooting
Getting advice from general Internet sites and specific
message boards and forums for your car’s make or model, whether
it’s a Chevy pick-up or an Alfa Romeo roadster
Whether you want to compete at drag strips or on road courses
or simply accelerate faster on an interstate ramp, if you want
to improve your car’s performance, Car Hacks & Mods is just
the boost you need.
