Ferrari Modifying – Pushing the Limits of Excess and Power

Posted On August 5th 2009 By TeRBo. Under Turbo Articles  Tags: Cars, Ferrari, Modifications, Motoring  .

Without question Ferrari cars are among the most powerful and most expensive sports cars in the world today and for good reason, under the careful watch of Enzo Ferrari the Ferrari brand has consistently put out excellent motor vehicles exuding class and prestige on the outside with extreme power in the engine bay.Their trademark cherry red colours are synonymous with the prancing pony sports cars and their rarity on the roads is bound to draw stares as much as the roar of the engine.  It isn’t just on the road where you will find the Ferrari brand leading the way, Ferrari are currently riding high with their Formula One team in a constant battle for points with the McLaren Mercedes team at the top of the table.  A lot of the technologies used in the manufacture of their street cars such as the Ferrari Enzo or F360 are derived from the Formula One experience of the brand and so you know you’re going to get the best of the best.  But, what if the best isn’t enough?  What if you want that little bit more to make your Ferrari that extra bit more unique?If you are looking to Tune your Ferrari then you’ll not need to do too much as almost all models are built perfect for whatever use you plan for your car.  But as with all motor sports there is always a way to shave a few milliseconds off track times or ways to improve handling for your everyday driving.Whilst they are built for sport primarily there are still some areas where you can squeeze out some extra performance points such as handling improvements like third party sports braking systems or extreme measures to increase power such as adding twin turbo chargers by having a complete engine conversion.  You may think that slight changes won’t mean much but many Ferrari tuners out there swear by customising the ride of your Ferrari so that you are both comfortable with the ride and the power.If you are really after a truly unique look to your Ferrari then you’ll find plenty of examples of external modifications like body kit replacements and carbon fibre elements in Ferrari Tuning pictures as well as dedicated tuning teams like Novitec Rosso who have made custom editions of the F430 Scuderia in the past.So there you go, it goes to show that if you’re going to own a Ferrari then there are plenty of options available to make sure that yours stands out in a crowd, even if the crowd is a Ferrari owners club you can still be the king of the hill with a little extra work!

Pushing the Limits With Lamborghini Tuning

Posted On July 26th 2009 By TeRBo. Under Turbo Articles  Tags: Cars, Lambo, Lamborghini, Modifications, Motoring  .

Lamborghinis are well known as being exceptional cars, they signify prestige and power and usually you’ll need a six figure income to afford one.  Assuming you have then there’s a good chance you’ll be enjoying the speed and luxury of such a great car.The thing is that for many petrol heads who own a car they will want to push that car to its limits and get the absolute most out of the car and its engine.  By modifying or tuning any car you’ll be able to customise the ride of that car.  Whether it’s increasing the speed, acceleration, braking or handling then there is bound to be a part or a tweak for you to alter in order to achieve your desired effect.  Just because Lamborghinis are among the fastest cars in the world, especially the latest powerhouse featured in this year’s summer blockbuster The Dark Knight, the Murcielago LP640, this doesn’t mean that you can’t get any better than the factory settings.There are plenty of power inducing Performance Parts for Lamborghini that can help generate 5 to 10% more power in your Lamborghini and whilst it may seem small to most people but if you want to be the cream of the cream of the crop then you’ll look to making your sports car better than the next person’s.Various Lamborghini Tuning parts include uprating your turbo unit to reduce lag and increase peak power, other ways including making the inside of your engine icy cold whether you are heating and cooling the engine block or engaging in a bit of forced induction to keep everything nice and cool whilst being able to reach super speeds.Other ways in which you can make a more noticeable alteration to your Lamborghini is visual alterations; many customisation groups can provide a more racing car styled body kit to complement the raging bull engine within.  There are many Lamborghini pictures of these kits as well as other styling mods like new alloy wheels, there are a plethora of different styles and sizes, Lamborghinis look stunning with larger sized alloy wheels and even coloured wheels can help make your Lamborghini stand out even more.

VXR – Vauxhall Gives You Six of the Best

Posted On July 20th 2009 By TeRBo. Under Turbo Articles  Tags: Autos, Cars, Vauxhall, VXR, VXR8  .

I'm sure most people who have even a vague interest in Cars must have heard of the Vauxhall VXR8 also known as the Monaro this is Vauxhall's insane muscle car that defiantly fly's in the face of current motoring trends. Well I've discovered there is an entire VXR family a sort of family from hell if you like. Vauxhall's slightly understated corporate statement goes something like "VXR takes the experience, knowledge and passion gained from racing and crystallises it into a range of high performance road cars"
Well they're not kidding! A few minutes spent online led me to a high octane fuelled world where I became entranced by a staggering array of performance figures that left me in awe and amazement, well almost.
You see Vauxhall didn't stop at the VXR8 oh no they have created a range that means everyone can experience blistering performance right across the spectrum from the ubiquitous hot hatch to the family saloon and even the MPV all receive an injection of pure adrenaline.
Young men with the money to afford the insurance will be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of the Corsa VXR which is the smallest model to get the VXR treatment.
It comes with a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder Turbo-charged engine that produces 192 PS and 230NM of torque which increases for five seconds to over 260NM when you apply the turbo over boost. This adds up to a 0-60mph time of 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 140mph. Unlike hot hatches of yesteryear advances in braking means that this will actually stop when you apply the brakes thanks to large diameter disc brakes front and rear you get nice blue calipers as well so no need to get your spray paint out lads.
The Corsa has lowered sports suspension and switchable Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) including Traction Control for those who like to show their road skills without assistance. 17" Alloy wheels come as standard with ultra-low profile tyres and optional 18" V spoke Alloys with even lower profile tyres can be had to increase your small but imposing presence round town or more likely in shopping mall car parks after hours.
Next on the list is the Astra which Vauxhall claim to be their hottest hatch ever and then some! The 2.0 litre 4 cylinder Ecotec comes with an updated Turbocharger producing 240 PS and 320NM of torque which propels you from 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and gives a top speed of 152mph. The Astra comes with a centrally mounted trapezoidal tuned sports exhaust, close ratio six-speed gearbox and large diameter disc brakes finished off with 18" or 19" Alloys.
The Vectra has always been a favourite with fleet buyers but not sure if they would let you loose in one of these. The VXR gets a 2.8 litre 24valve V6 engine with a twin scroll Turbocharger no less. Those in the know will tell you that this is normally reserved for rally cars and such like, what it means is 280PS and 355MN of torque. 0-60 comes in 6.1 seconds and top speed is a restricted 155mph.
You'd think Vauxhall would leave it here but even the Meriva and Zafira have received the VXR treatment. These are the popular MPV models which have been given the potential to make you the fastest Mum or Dad on the school run, not sure if the kids will appreciate Recaro sports seats no doubt they will be busy getting food all over them. It is always handy to know that by the time you have loaded up all their clobber and then gone back home to get the conveniently forgotten sports kit you will still arrive at the school gates before you left!
Well I couldn't finish without giving the VXR8 a mention, Vauxhall have made some recent "tweaks" to the performance and although they have published an eye watering 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds they have kept the top speed a bit quiet needless to say it is very fast. They have been up front about the CO2 emissions though, something like 365 g/km oops! Never mind it's still a great car.

Vauxhall Astra VXR

Posted On July 19th 2009 By TeRBo. Under Turbo Articles  Tags: Automotive, Cars, Vauxhall, Vauxhall VXR  .

This week I test drove the Vauxhall Astra VXR and was asked whether I was the type of person who'd buy this type of car - a powerhouse of a hatchback. "Well am I?" I thought, so here's my CV. I don't profess to be many things but I like to think of myself as a nice guy, who's hard-working, law abiding, music loving, car worshipping and sport mad. I also like to advertise myself as somewhat of a film expert and enjoy dropping into conversation with like-minded people the Spanish language film I saw last night or what actually happened in The Matrix. Until this week however there was a gaping hole in my film repertoire that ensured that my cinematic ramblings were denounced quicker than Usain Bolt running the 100 metres - I had never seen The Usual Suspects.
Having been garnered with more stars in reviews than the night sky above me, it seemed odd that I'd never taken time out to watch it. The content seemed up my street too, with the film being billed at the time of release as 'the Reservoir Dogs of 1995', so plenty of guns, violence, swearing and death then - not Toy Story in other words. So I finally settled down 13 years later than intended and can report that if I had any clout as a film critic there would be another maximum five stars winging their way to Bryan Singer's masterpiece.
The premise is far from simple, but involves five criminals being brought together by the police in unusual circumstances and being blamed for a lorry hijack they (in all probability) didn't commit. Whilst biding their time before release, they decide to wreak revenge on the police and make a tidy profit whilst doing so. Throughout the film a mystical master criminal called Keyser Soze is mentioned and via a serious of flashbacks and narration from one of the five suspects the story unravels, culminating in a bloody finale aboard a container ship and a twist so implausible that it contorts your brain into believing it's possible - who is Keyser Soze? The beauty of the storytelling is that you know there will be a twist but cannot pinpoint how or who will be involved.
It was a similar scenario I found myself in whilst driving the Astra VXR. Obviously gunfire and hijacking aren't part of the Vauxhall lifestyle but in many ways, the Astra VXR is part of the automotive equivalent of The Usual Suspects. The world of the hot hatchback has always been comprised of familiar faces that have been slugging it out over many years. The current crop includes the main five suspects: Vauxhall Astra VXR, Honda Civic Type R, Ford Focus ST, Volkswagen Golf GTi and RenaultSport Megane.
It's a formidable line-up worthy of the silver screen but seeing as I had the keys to the Astra, let me throw some facts and figures at you - starting with the styling. Aggressive doesn't begin to do the Astra justice - even Vauxhall's advertising slogan of 'GTi - RIP' had an air of hooligan about it. Huge alloy wheels adorn the gaps in the wide and low-slung body kit, with a roof mounted spoiler and mesh front grill completing the look. It's a bold statement which gives the impression the car is travelling at serious speed even when parked at the kerb.
When the 2.0 litre turbo-charged engine is awoken it does happily propel you to speeds that befit its looks. Developing 240bhp, the Astra VXR covers the 0-60mph dash in a mere 6.2 seconds but more importantly for a front wheel drive car, develops no discernible torque steer thanks to more processing power than a string of computer shops. Vauxhall honed the Astra's chassis at the fabled Nurburgring racing circuit in Germany and it shows. Despite the twisty roads and sheep that kept darting out in front of me, the Astra avoided becoming an abattoir on wheels thanks to responsive handling and the aggressive front end scaring them off.
My only concern is that to develop 43bhp more than the Volkswagen Golf GTi and Honda Civic Type R, Vauxhall have bolted on a turbo that with all the will in the world means one thing - lag. Often I found myself in the overtaking position only for all that power to have a sit down, make a cup of tea and then decide to get to work. There were also occasions when having zoomed past the car on my inside that the engine wanted to have another brew before stopping the flow of power. That said 43bhp is one heck of an advantage over the rivals so it's worth waiting for.
The Astra VXR is also priced to be cheaper than the Golf, Megane and Focus ST and comparable with the Civic Type R despite this extra grunt and sublime handling. So am I the type of person to buy a Vauxhall Astra VXR? Well unless there's a massive twist in this tale then the answer would be "Yes please".
