You might have heard a lot about car tuning, since the first series of Fast and Furious have been filmed in the movie theaters causing a boom in the world of cars.

From then on, you could see all types of tuned or modified car on the streets, even several exhibitions have been started to represent these tuned-up vehicles and an international car tuning frenzy has started.

But there is a little more to tuning a car then changing their colour or putting shiny stickers on them. A good tuning can turn your car not only an attraction from the outside, but the reason of real tunings are mainly gathered around making a car more cost –effective and of course faster.

There are a couple of ways how to make the consumption of a car lower, but for all this you might need to have either plenty of experience as a car mechanic or you should at least learn some basics and have a good friend who is good at cars. You must make yourself familiar with the basic requirements first on how to keep your car in the best state.

You must take care of changing the fuel and air filters, take care of spark plug exchange and also must know a lot more of your car’s operation of ignition. Also, learn more about the trouble codes of your car. Every manufacturer or bigger car-service can provide you with the list of these codes which are a big help concerning your cars state of emission and to measure the exhaust gas circulation. These can have such problems, affecting your car’s consumption and overall capacity which you wouldn’t know about without checking them out with these codes in your car’s computer system.

Also it is a good idea to take care of your tyres and to examine which are the best tyres for your car. If your car is using fuel-injection, you must take care of cleaning the bypass through which idle air moves. If your car operates with Throttle body injector, apply some carburettor cleaner on the injector from time to time, to make it clean to work well.
