Car Modification - Where the Market's Going?

2011 will be an interesting year for the Chinese car market, Tier 1 cities will be cracking down on the sales of new cars to try and reduce the gridlock on roads, meaning that in Beijing only 1/3 the number of cars will be allowed to be registered in the city compared to the year before.

Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are also struggling with the burgeoning mass of vehicles on their streets and as such may also implement strict controls on new model sales or alternatively impose congestion charging and "alternate day" policies (where you can only drive you car on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) and these controls will impact on car sales too.

Of course it's not all doom and gloom for the country's dealers there will be plenty of capacity increase in the Tier 2, 3 & 4 cities which are the focus of the next decade's economic investment program. But in the Tier 1 cities there will be a definite move away from new vehicles, creating large opportunities in the car modification and customisation market to enable owners to maintain the appeal in older models. Companies like AC Schnitzer and Tech Art are already on the scene and have had a reasonable amount of success already.

Hamann, the German specialists in a wide range of top quality cars for both body kits and tuning are also planning a launch in the country very soon, and rumours suggest that they will launch almost simultaneously in Shanghai and Beijing later this year with a rapid roll out plan to build 15 dealerships in the next following 2 years.
The drive for individualism in a country where it is difficult to distinguish yourself (housing is fairly uniform, as are offices and manufacturing facilities) means there are great opportunities to develop a strong business modifying motors and enabling bespoke "look and feel" for even very high-end cars.
The country is now the world's largest consumer of luxury cars, at the recent Guangzhou car show Bentley sold 8 cars in 3 days! So while you couldn't call these vehicles "commonplace" they are found in greater abundance than anywhere else. There has already been strong interest in the Hamann product range for enabling a more unique look, to allow businessmen to distinguish themselves from their peers. Rumours are that they have already pre-sold their first Bentley, despite being a few months away from launch, and having not yet opened a sales centre in the country.

It will be interesting to see how the market in China develops, and most of all who will make use of the opportunity to become the first Chinese manufacturer of body kits for the high end market. With the government in Dalian offering high levels of subsidy for auto manufacturing projects, it has to be just a matter of time.

Muscle Cars - How to Rebuild and Modify Your Muscle Car

After the World War II, muscle cars became an instant hit, as motorists and car buyers aimed to acquire vehicles that would showcase and show great power and speed. The term was basically a name description of what the car was to the industry.

Muscle cars were considered the instruments to bring back the glory and profitability of the global car industry. Muscle autos were hugely popular in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
With the emergence of many other car brands and more superior car models, muscle cars are now nowhere in the map of global cars. However, there are still some of those vehicles that are in circulation within the market.

Those muscle autos are now considered novelty and collectors' items. If you happen to own one, it surely would be your interest to improve and revitalize the look and performance of your old car. Thus, you would certainly find ways on how you can rebuild and modify your muscle auto.

Here are some suggested procedures on how you can rebuild and revitalize the look and feel of your muscle autos. Take note that some auto detailing techniques may already be familiar to you, especially if you are into regular auto detailing.

1. Plan the restoration process ahead of time. Muscle cars are important and are sensitive cars. Any error or mistake on the rebuilding and auto detailing procedure could greatly harm and alter the overall appearance of the exterior of the car.

Thus, it would be advisable if you would do a research and ask experts on what to do right about your muscle auto. Make a simple list of things to do and do a checklist to serve as a guide as you do the rebuilding and modifying process.

2. Spend time and more effort rebuilding the body of the muscle cars. Pay particular attention to details. The overall body of the car should be given more care and proper treatment. Do you need to modify and do little changes at the engine and the overall system?
If you are not too familiar with it, just leave it to the experts. Just tell them what you want, what you aim and what you intend to do and let them do the rest.

3. Settle to do a major auto detailing. When the insides of the muscle autos are modified and improved, take time to do a major auto detailing process.
When you auto detail muscle cars, you aim to revamp and overhaul the total exterior and physical package of the vehicles. Repaint. Spend to repair damaged parts. Check the wheels. In no time, the muscle autos would look as awesome as new again.

4. To wrap things up, check the overall electrical system of the muscle autos. Pay attention to the electrical wirings responsible for the proper functioning of lights and horns. Make sure the battery is functioning well.

5. There is no need to change the overall physical appearance or the assembly of the body packaging, not unless you want to remodel your muscle autos. If you do so, your muscle cars would cease to be muscle cars and should be called through other names.

As your muscle cars take a new rejuvenation and look, always remember that muscle cars would not ever function like the modern powerful cars. During their time, muscle autos were the most powerful vehicles on the road.

How to Modify Your Car Cheaply to Run On Water

Problems Today:

Incredibly high petrol prices, petrol battles, pollution and global climate change. You know what I'm referring to.

Bad News?:

A possible solution could be watered powered vehicles. There are apparently about 10 strategies that will allow people to do this, but it is too costly and relatively impossible to do at the present time. Nobody know what could happen to them, and it is a big change that can't take place.

Finally some good news:

Thanks to a lot of backyard engineers, you can now power your car partially on water, that is a water-gas hybrid. This would increase your gas efficiently by up to 59% and I've even seen 70% on a Cadillac 99. Using this technology you could drastically help prevent global warming. You can improve efficient burning of fuel this means less wear and tear, engine clatter, high temperature in the engine, carbon deposits.

This is obviously an extremely powerful piece of technology. Supposable it has been around for over 90 years but no one dared to go public do to the fact that they ware afraid of the multi billion dollar gas industries. Well do to the ever raising gas prices that reached an all time high these days, one of these backyard engineers got fed up and decided to go public.

So how does this really work? It's pretty simple, you ue electricity from your car's battery to separate water into a gas known as HHO, this burns effectively and supplies significant energy. HHO has the atomic power of hydrogen but maintains the stability of water. This makes it a very safe and very effective process.

We have already seen how a system like this can benefit you, but how can you get your hands on one? You could go to your local auto shop and ask them to make you one, but you would probably spend 500$ for the HHO generator and another 500$ for installment. The best solution would be to get yourself a do it yourself guide. It is extremely easy to follow, as they usually come with 90 pages of detailed instructions and illustration, as opposed to the old days when all the instructions ware on a piece of paper.


A guide like this costs less then 50$ and the materials needed for conversion are also around 50$. This means you can be up and running for 100$, it's obviously the way to go.

In conclusion you can modify you car cheaply to run on water, with the use of these simple do it yourself guides that are designed for complete car novices. Running your car on water makes it an environmentally safe hybrid, and what comes with an environmentally safe hybrid, IRS refunds owed to you by the law, for using green technology in your vehicle...just great.
