Building a performance car

There are a lot of people that absolutely hate body kits, I in fact used to be one of them. That was until I discovered the performance aspects, and I later discovered that there are many styles that actually look pretty good. Each individual has their own opinion on this subject, which is what makes this subject so much fun.

The absolute worst thing to see is a body kit installed on someones piece of junk car, as if it was going to just transform their old beater into a work of art. Then not long after it is falling off, cracked, and the paint is peeling. This is why it is very important to choose your body kit wisely, and that it matches the lines and style of your car. Make sure that you plan to invest the proper amount of money into the project since your trying to make your car look good. I can't tell you how many calls I get for someone that wants a body kit, bumper, or anything else for their car and they only want to spend a couple hundred dollars INCLUDING SHIPPING. Well when that person finds one for that price and buys it, then they need to start saving right away for the replacement when it shatters the first time they hit a curb when parking their car.

So knowing that a body kit isn't just for looks, I see body kits in a whole new way. Aerodynamics is key in performance, and body kits can provide that. A body kit will reduce the drag under that car and direct air over your car applying pressure to the wheels for more traction. Each part of the body kit serves its own purpose. The front bumper is usually lower to the ground and will reduce the flow of air under the vehicle, and direct more over the top and around the sides. Side skirts will help eliminate taking in wind drag under the car from the side of the automobile by lowering them closer to the ground. The rear bumper will ofter have some sort of diffuser that will allow the air that does flow under the car to be smoothed out reducing turbulence at the back end. Now this is your most basic body kit, but you can find some of these body kits to contain many more pieces sometime including, spoiler, hood, wide fenders, and door caps.

Understanding the power of a performance intake system can be underestimated. Fujita is a brand name that has gained popularity in the past number of years due to its attention to detail and ability to build a quality product.

Fujita specializes in only these performance products to ensure that they build the best air induction system for your vehicle. Fujita makes 3 common systems used in many vehicle makes and models today. Theses include Fujita Short Ram, Fujita Cold Air, and Fujita Mass Air.

The Fujita Short Ram System will replace your factory air box with a free flowing t6 6061 aluminum tubing that will suck in more air resulting in an increase in HP and torque. Some people find concern with the Fujtia Short Ram systems, saying that they will result in heat soak. This means that it is going to suck warm in from the engine bay into the engine resulting in lower power. This is not the case at all. The only time heat soak may occur is when at idle when cool air isn't flowing through the engine bay. So you are able to still pull in cooler air, and in fact more air as well.

Fujita Cold Air Intake Systems do just way the name says it does. Introduces cold air into the engine. When you deliver colder air into the engine you deliver even more oxygen resulting in stronger combustion. Cold air is more dense and contains more oxygen and the Fujita Cold Air System will deliver just that. The tubing on this Fujita System is longer than the Fujita Short Ram system and reaches into the fender or under the car where colder air can be found.

Now last of all the Fujita Mass Air System is to be used on vehicles with a mass air sensor. You can get cold air versions or short ram versions. This depends on your vehicle make and model to see which is available.

The facts are in the figures that you get performance gains with these Fujita Intake Systems, with dyno sheets to prove it. Install one and you will see and hear the difference.
