As the domestic car-playing culture gradually heats up, more and more riders are beginning to be lightly exposed to modification. However, as long as they are fond of modification, they must have heard these two soul tortures——"They are all legal modified parts that have been paid for tariffs. Is it illegal to install the car for Mao?" "The parts that were bought for a big price were actually sold at a price drop?"
As a lightly modified person, I will talk to you today about why modified cars are not welcomed by second-hand car dealers, and the reasons why they are often taken care of by traffic police comrades:
Why are legal parts illegally modified?
Previously, the owner's house has done the topic of "what are legal modifications", so I won't go into details here. For those so-called "illegal modification" that will be greeted by traffic police, the purchases are all compliant genuine products, why can't they be installed on the car? This is similar to “it’s legal to buy a kitchen knife, and you’ll trouble you if you bring it to the subway security check”. The V8 engine is legal on a muscle car, but it’s transplanted to the GK5. Even if it’s superb as you can hold it, the manufacturer didn’t say the car. If you can hold it yourself, all kinds of hidden dangers will come out at this time.
A few simple examples illustrate what is the "hidden danger". The above said that GK5 transplants the V8 engine is an extreme statement, but after the power is greater, the brakes have to be changed? Otherwise, the short-distance start-stop brake pads will quickly grind into paper; the tires have to be changed? Otherwise, you can flick the tail in a straight line if you can't bear the acceleration load; should you change the intake and exhaust? Otherwise, where does the throughput of V8 come from?
Aside from extreme situations, the most controversial issue is "performance brake caliper modification". We simply think that shortening the braking distance is a modification measure to increase safety, but in fact, the brake calipers simply installed in private workshops will be affected by the brakes in minutes. The thickness of the disc causes the ABS to fail, and it will also cause the ESP set by itself to work out of balance. Even I have heard that there are careless riders who change the ESP directly...
Besides, "One hundred changes are the first", some people think that a short spring is enough to roughly click, which strengthens the lateral support and driving stability. This traffic police should not be able to control it, right? But the suspension geometry is not what ordinary people can calculate. Let’s not say how short the change will cause the shock tube to leak. If the spring is changed, the ball head (the plum string of the anti-roll bar) must be changed together. It is estimated that there are not many people. knew. This kind of "hidden injury" will not be seen even for a year and a half, but the irreversible damage and potential safety hazards are really immeasurable.
So in the final analysis, all parts of an automobile are a system project, and a single change of a certain parameter will theoretically affect the whole body.Since everyone is not a particularly professional player, the traffic police who takes safety as the first criterion will have to kill mistakes.From the turbines, exhausts, and wide-body parts to the small brakes and hub traffic police.As for the legality and certification of modified parts, most of them are for the field of professional racing.
Then why are high-priced modifications sold for less money?
This level is better understood. The first thing to modify is to be different. It is quite a challenge for second-hand car dealers to find buyers who have the same taste as the previous car owner. From the perspective of market law, who wants to resell products that are ultra-small in the market? It is also similar to our newly bought mobile phone. There are actually a bunch of pre-installed apps in it. Are you annoying?
The second is the security issue mentioned above. First of all, whether the modified performance has been tuned by the system, this is already very resistant (let) people (you) find (enough) smell (choking), the qualification certificate of these parts will not be given together with the certificate of the car when the car is delivered Your problems, such as broken flanges and broken wheels, are not rare, and the computer that has been brushed with the ECU is hidden deeper, the engine life is a problem, and the fuel consumption is not enough if you have not driven it for two weeks. In addition; The lowered body is pretty good-looking, but what if you are a buyer who pursues comfort?
Finally, when it comes to the cold second-hand market for modified cars, the main reason is the special attention of the traffic police. Even if you make a small change to the latter part of the schedule for the sake of noise, it is easy to attract the attention of traffic police; in addition, many models are now exempted from inspection for six years. Suppose you collect the car in the sixth or seventh year. The annual inspection is really painful. You must know that even if the original factory parts are restored, it is not a cheap thing...
Summarize:
But as one of the modification enthusiasts, I really don’t object to modification—just aiming at the three dimensions of "legality", "safety" and "preservation rate". What this article wants to say is:1. It is not recommended to try out illegal modification;2. Please let professionals assist in the modification, don’t be blown away by a certain treasure business, safety is better than passion; 3. Either be aware of "love for life" or be prepared to "understand the price drop", after all, you Nor will it be easy to buy a modified used car.
Finally, I call on everyone to master the scale and maintain this gradual heating up of car playing culture together!
