Advanced Notes on Small Steel Cannon-Minor Modification of GTI

This car is originally bought for my wife, this is already her second car, in fact, the main purpose is to buy food to pick up the baby. Her first car was the 2tcc. At that time, she just looked good, but now she thinks the car is too big, so she changed it. There are three needs to start buying a car: 1. Power not less than 2.0t, automatic gear, drive or drive; 2. Small size, to “good turn and easy to stop” (original words); 3. The later stage maintenance is relatively easy to worry, and the maintenance is suitable. There are few requirements, and there are not many practical choices. With these needs, Huapin will be excluded, except for cars with a long body and internal space pressure.

In the end, we have a relatively high acceptance of golf space, coupled with the fact that my wife is basically the only one to drive this car, and it is enough for a child in the back seat. My wife 160, I 176, when she drives, I can have two punches in the legroom in the back row.

Parked downstairs from the top down is not very small, the car brake is very sensitive, a tap can be found. I usually drive mine cars, so I really got used to this brake for a while, and the leaders who are used to driving German departments adapt faster than I do. The main reason is that the car is short and dapper and the details are in place. Ready to get rid of all the words on the back of the car, Volkswagen posted a golf under the label.

After all, for now, the most satisfactory thing is the level of power and the sense of manipulation. My wife started driving slowly in fuel-efficient mode, but after discovering that the power response in standard mode was already fast, she actually fell in love with driving fast. Although it was not fierce driving, I found that she was driving harder and harder.

Although there are not many atmosphere lights, they are just right. Then let me talk about the chassis. The adjustment of the chassis surprised me. Although the shock absorber and support are still hard relative to the family car, they are very resilient and do not drag water. Compared with many luxury brands of cars are much better, the steering wheel feel good, torque can be a little bit.

In terms of seats, both the material and the quality of the seats are good.

To sum up, the sound is good; the air conditioning interface is simple and convenient to operate, and the sound insulation is almost the same as cc; the exhaust sound is slightly louder; the self-high sound is slightly higher (adjusted to the economy is still slightly higher); the wind noise below 60 per hour can be ignored, and the tire noise is basically covered by exhaust and self-cover, and faster to 80 or 90 tyres noise will come up, and you can only rely on listening to songs. Next I’m going to brush myself off, and then give my wife a group of PS4.

When the high-end sudden setback is obvious, the standard mode is restless enough, the urban shuttle is free, and the sports mode is absolutely abundant within the speed limit of 120.

I haven’t calculated the fuel consumption, but you can take a look at the price of filling up.

On the whole, the car body is relatively small, the wheelbase is short, the chassis is complete, the car is not heavy, and it is very light and flexible to drive. Tried floor oil before, the original factory is Bridgestone RE050, the speed is a bit skidding.

For the above problems, I finally dragged it into the modification store and made minor changes to the car.

Because this car is a small steel gun, so I modified it in terms of performance. In fact, I changed the wheels and tires and changed a set of rice PS4, because this set of tires is 100% street property, although many drivers get off the track with gti, but my wife can’t use it.

To tell you the truth, it is not so much to improve the driving safety of the car as to improve the driving safety of the car. In fact, the handling is already very good for gti, but it is because the power and control of gti is too good, it is easy to have all kinds of problems of insufficient grip, so it is to rely on PS4 to solve the problem of grip. I took a fancy to the design of PS4FE race tire pattern from the very beginning, and the pattern design greatly improved the stability of the corner. The real feeling is that after changing the PS4, the grip really mentioned a lot, mainly in the steering wheel and tire close, compared with the RE050 can respond in time, when you turn the corner, you feel more comfortable with it, and you won’t show what you hit before.

When I bought the tire, I also studied it myself. I knew a little about the tire production date, materials and top speed on the Internet, but when I saw the PS4, I was very interested in the velvet design on the side of the tire. Although this has no substantial impact on performance, the appearance has improved a lot, especially the tire that can be raced at a glance. After seeing the reality, I found that I still have a good sense of it. I suggest you try it.

So after changing the tire, I went to feel the sharp turn and the U-turn at the intersection. What I can obviously feel is that the grip and support are really good. Lesser Snow fell some time ago, and the road melted the next day. The wet ground did have a big test for cars and tires, but my own driving experience was quite different from that of dry land. After all, PS4 multi-slot design was designed separately for wetlands, and the main ditch was optimized. The elastic body can increase the grip in the wetlands, so you don’t have to worry about your wife’s success in the wetlands.

Now Michelin uses polyamide material and shares the same material with bulletproof vests, so I’m really not worried about wear resistance. Anyway, I find that there are no scratches when I use it at present.

Finally, I would like to talk about the mute aspect of the performance tire. In fact, I have always felt that the tire noise of the original tire is relatively large, so I paid special attention to this when choosing the tire. The tire with mute effect in the performance tire is really not common. The performance of this tire is good, but the silence is also taken into account.

At the end of the article is still the old rule, a night scene picture ends, although not off the track, but the slight modification is also for the sake of safety, is there any other modification to improve safety, please tell me again, I will change it for my wife.
