Engineering Explained

If you're looking into engine chip tuning and want to know all there is to know about the process and how it works, then let this be your ultimate guide!

Given the opportunity, I’d always take the half-priced Hellcat over the track-loving Viper. Why? There are plenty of reasons, actually...

The Dodge Viper ACR is one of the most sophisticated track machines from North American soil. So what is it that makes it so special?

Zero emissions and fast refuelling...this is the future, right? When you take a closer look, things aren't so pretty!

Volkswagen shares have plummeted after it was found out to be cheating emissions in the US market. Here's everything you need to know with some very useful engineering insight!

First off, my padres prefer cloth to leather (as I do) and my mom wants a vehicle with a power lift gate that’s easy on her shoulder (a common problem in a family with lanky arms). The Subaru is the only one that has both, strangely enough. Light cloth interior, power lift gate. Honda offers a power lift gate, but only on the highest trim, which I believe comes with leather. The Mazda doesn’t offer it.

Petrolheads love manual transmissions. They’re simple, driver-involved, maintenance friendly, and fun. There are three in my driveway right now. Behind it all is the clutch, so how does it work?

You dyno your ride and are sad to find that it's only making half the horsepower...So where the hell did all those horses go, you wonder?!

After spending some time with the guys who make up Vaughn Gittin Jr’s drift team, I realised everything I thought I knew about drifting was just plain wrong

This video describes the ideal geometric racing line, but that doesn’t necessary mean it’s the fastest line. This gets more complicated and depends on the vehicle, if it has more power it may be beneficial to hit a late apex to straighten out and take advantage of the fact that the vehicle can make up lost time with faster acceleration. Basics first though! :)

Don’t know how I feel about this, especially considering it’s a $40k car.

"Sure it's fast in a straight line, but can it corner?" Yes, yes it can. Here are seven reasons the C7 Corvette Stingray is American engineering at its best

Cars are some of the most complex forms of engineering as they combine numerous different types of technology, so it's easy to understand how bad information can float to the surface - let's look at the facts surrounding five performance modifications which might not be a good idea.

All you need for unbeatable deceleration is bigger brakes, red paint, and drilled holes, right? Let me stop you right there... let's talk brakes.

Everyone knows the Nissan GT-R is completely ridiculous, but here are three things you probably don’t know about the 591bhp, Nurburgring-developed Nismo (NISsan MOtorsports) version

Understanding suspension can be hard, but don't let that dampen your spirits. Allow me to softly guide you through how they work and how to improve them!
