Autotune without compromise
- Find out about legal regulations
Before you start tuning the vehicle, you should find out about the legal regulations in your country. The regulations are designed to ensure road safety and minimize negative environmental impacts. So always make sure that all modifications comply with the applicable laws to avoid possible penalties and vehicle registration problems.
- Choose quality parts and service
Only use high-quality parts from well-known brand manufacturers when tuning the vehicle. Cheap parts from China can endanger the safety of the vehicle and maybe even lead to accidents or at least costly repairs. Also make sure that if possible you have your vehicle modified by professionals who have the necessary know-how and experience to carry out the work safely and professionally.
- Avoid extreme modifications
Extreme modifications, such as extremely low vehicles, can affect safety and drivability. Of course one is Airride always chic, but there should still be some ground clearance. At least while driving! Such extreme changes can cause the vehicle to become unstable on rough roads or at high speeds. So avoid hardcore changes if possible and make sure that the vehicle remains safe and controllable at all times.
More power = more brakes!
- Check the brakes and tires
If you increase the performance of the vehicle, you should also check the brakes and tires and adjust them if necessary. More powerful brakes and high-quality tires ensure that the car can be braked and controlled safely even at higher speeds and with a significant increase in performance.
- Invest in security upgrades
When tuning your vehicle, you should also invest in safety upgrades. These include, for example, improved chassis components that increase stability and control, or additional seat belts that offer even better protection in the event of an accident.
- Maintain your vehicle regularly
One good serviced vehicle is a safe vehicle. Be sure to maintain the car regularly and check all components, especially the safety-related parts, for their proper condition. This also includes checking the brakes, tires, chassis and electronics. Regular maintenance helps identify and resolve potential problems before they adversely affect safety.
- Consider driver assistance systems
Modern vehicles are often equipped with a variety of driver assistance systems that help prevent accidents and increase safety. When you tune your car, you should make sure that the systems continue to function properly and are not affected by the modifications.
- Responsible driving
Even after you've tuned your car to improve performance and handling, it's important that you continue to drive responsibly. Be sure to obey the highway code and adapt your speed to road and weather conditions. A responsible driver contributes significantly to safety on the road. Of course you can also “press the stamp” from time to time, but only where you are allowed to.
- Vehicle Insurance and Liability
Note that modifications can also affect vehicle insurance. You should therefore inform your insurer of any changes made to ensure that the vehicle is still adequately insured. You should also be aware of the potential liability risks associated with tuned cars, particularly if you are involved in an accident and a component may not have been registered.
Conclusion
Tuning can be a great way to improve your vehicle's performance, looks, and driving pleasure. Nevertheless, it is important to always keep safety in mind and not to compromise. By using quality parts, avoiding extreme modifications, regularly maintaining your vehicle, and driving responsibly, you can enjoy your tuned vehicle without compromising road safety.
Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
