SPENDING a sunny afternoon in a village pub garden just outside of St Albans discussing the comics industry with one of the genre’s bona fide legends isn’t work, it’s a fanboy’s dream come true.
This can be done by buying a fancy new car. But that is a laughable suggestion because not everyone is blessed enough to buy a fancy new car by giving in to a whim. Hence, for most people, it is a good idea to customize their car according to their own choice of style.
One should know what parts are necessary to style a car irrespective of what the make or model is. This applies not only to the outer appearance of the vehicle, but also to other factors such as the performance and speed of the car.
Familiarization with the necessary parts will give a sense of satisfaction to the owner, and will also increase his appreciation regarding the capabilities of his car. When it comes to style, chrome M3 style wing mirrors should be on top of the list. These will vastly enhance the looks of the car.
Inside a car, customization of gear shift knobs is a great way of improving the looks. In addition to the looks, it feels good too! Instead of regular chrome or wooden knobs, the gear shift knob can be styled to look like a sports knob too!
Another great addition is customized rims. These can be made of chrome too. Standard halogen lights, or LED lights in the interior can make the car look more dashing when darkness falls.
LCD or crystal auto gauges can be used to increase satisfaction while driving, because drivers frequently check the gauges. However, it is necessary to assess the condition of the car, because if a car is too old, an improvement in the car’s styling may not be worth the trouble. In addition, if it is obvious that the cost of styling the car is going to be so high that it makes the idea of buying an expensive, new car a better one, then it is better to not continue with the stylization.
It is also useful to have knowledge about where to get cheap car parts in case they are necessary. In case some of the parts are lost or need to be replaced, it is again necessary to decide whether the cost of replacement is less than the cost of a new car.
In some cases, when a car is handed over to a car repair shop for repairs, the sale of car parts may be at a higher price, which includes taxes, etc. In these cases it is cheaper to buy car parts in person, from a store or mall which sells them.
To get a general idea of how much car parts cost, it is advisable to search for the parts on the internet. Parts can also be bought cheap at salvage-yards or junkyards. Many a times, parts can be bought for a low price at wholesalers who are ready to sell the parts in bulk. Please visit www.shop4holics.com
Top Gear: £100 Cheap Car Challenge – Part 1
Motorcycle chopper kits are a growth industry. But what does that mean to you and me? Well one thing that we know is that we will have more choppers to ogle at. There is not a single day that goes by without more and more pictures of chopper bikes that have just been finished showing up in all the motorcycle magazines. Then at the weekends, when we are on our “hot” rides, we will see four or five show finish level bikes. There are more choppers around now than there have been in the last twenty five years.
Most of these choppers have been built from motorcycle chopper kits, the “bike in a box” approach. But hey, don’t knock it! Building your own chopper has never been easier. There are rolling chassis kits, complete bike kits, and frame manufacturers give you a multitude of choice when it comes to take the plunge and buy a motorcycle chopper kit.
Thirty years ago, the old school chopper builders had to start with a stock bike off-the-shelf and literally chop it to pieces. With the modern chopper kits, there is a viable alternative to taking the cutting torch to your favorite soft tail!
Nowadays, you have a cheap and easier way to build the bike from the ground up. When you take the cost of buying a new bike and the expense of chopping it, it works out much cheaper to start from step one, and your chopper kit. Instead of tossing away the parts that you’ll never use again, you can start building your own bike with the parts that you really need. All the parts are included in the motorcycle chopper kit, along with comprehensive instructions.
One of the first questions that people ask when considering buying a kit is how will my bike stand outs from all the other chopper kits? Well think of it this way, you are going to buy a chopper kit. A pile of unassembled raw metal. No paint, no real finish, just a blank canvas. Is your taste in paint jobs likely to be the same as the next guy, who buys the very same kit? I don’t think so. What about your taste in bolt-ons, seats, exhausts? Just because you buy the kit doesnÂ’t mean every little thing has to be just so. That is the whole point isnÂ’t it? It’s very easy in this way to build your own custom chopper from a chopper kit.
Another big question is, “How long”? The answer to that is as long as it takes. Even on the kit bikes, which are supposed to be designed to fit together like a glove, you are going to run into some snags. It can’t be avoided!
If you want a more concrete guide, try this. An experienced kit builder (though not a professional) I spoke to reckons it took 10 full days to build his last chopper from a kit. For someone less experienced it could take a couple of days longer. Twelve 9 hour days works out at 108 hours. Over evenings and weekends, this could drag out to three or four weeks of living in a pile of motorcycle parts! So be prepared to literally live the experience if you are going to take the plunge.
What about the practical side? Well, there is no substitute for experience. The place to start building up your experience with the mechanical side of building to kit bike is with your current ride. Make sure all you can do the basic maintenance on your motorcycle, and then start to do some simple disassembling. Take off the tires, take off the exhaust, real basic stuff; all of this will help to build a new confidence in the shop side of things. You can also get some great videos on maintenance, and even on building the custom bike of your dreams. Read the books, watch the videos, and buy the t-shirt! Believe me, all the preparation you make will stand you in good stead.
If you really are hopeless at the mechanical side of things, why not pay someone else to help you build it, or even get them to build the whole thing for you? The cost of the kit plus labor could well work out cheaper than buying a chopper “off the shelf”.
And of course, when that beautiful chopper is standing on your driveway, and your friends are asking you “Was it worth it?” you can turn to the chopper, drag your hand across the flames on the tank and the polished chrome, turn back to them and say, “What do you think?”
