PCD Pitch Circle Diameter
When it comes to car wheels, one of the most important aspects to consider for proper fitment and safety is the PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) pattern. The PCD is a fundamental measurement that determines whether a set of wheels will be compatible with your vehicle’s hubs. This article will delve deep into what the PCD […]
Wheel Balancing vs Wheel Alignment
Maintaining your car’s wheels is essential for a smooth and safe driving experience. While many drivers may hear terms like “wheel balance” and “wheel alignment” tossed around in car repair shops or by mechanics, understanding the difference between the two is crucial to both the longevity of your vehicle and your safety on the road. […]
FWD vs RWD
When choosing a vehicle, one of the most fundamental decisions drivers make is determining whether they prefer a Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or a Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) car. This decision goes beyond personal preference—it influences vehicle performance, handling, fuel efficiency, safety, and even cost. Both drivetrain configurations offer unique advantages and disadvantages, and understanding the differences […]
Performance Carburettors
Carburettors have long been a staple in internal combustion engines, particularly for vehicles manufactured before the rise of fuel injection systems in the late 20th century. While modern cars predominantly use fuel injection systems to control fuel delivery, carburettors remain a key component in the performance automotive world. Performance carburettors, in particular, are designed to […]
