Your car is an important part of your life. It gets you to work, takes you to appointments, helps you get your children to school and drives you to leisure activities. However, does your car excite you? Does it give you a driving experience that's hard to forget? Furthermore, does it even work adequately?

If the answer is no to any of these, then it might be time to consider enhancing your car's performance.

Some of these enhancements can be simple, such as tyre replacements. However, some can be much more sophisticated and may even enable you to create an entirely new driving experience.

Here are some of the things you could do to your car to really help enhance its performance. Next time you're passing car performance shops Auckland, why not try one of them out?

  1. Tyres

One of the most simple performance enhancements you can make to your car is to upgrade your tyres.

Poor quality tyres can really impact the performance of your car, especially if they can't hold adequate pressure. Tyres that don't hold pressure will find it harder to grip the road during wet conditions and as a result, you will have to drive slower and more carefully. You will also feel less in control, meaning your driving experience isn’t enjoyable.

If you opt for performance tyres then suddenly your drive will become more comfortable, your steering will be more precise and you will have less to worry about.

  1. ECU Mapping

If your car is relatively new then it likely has an ECU installed in it. This is basically a computer that acts as your car's brain and controls it’s engine..

ECU remapping is a popular performance-enhancing modification and involves overwriting the ECU's current programming with new settings that will allow the car to function better. These can include improvements to airflow, fuel ejection, engine response, horsepower and torque. Such improvements can speed your car up, make it drive smoother, improve fuel economy, and even make your car last longer.

  1. Wheel Alignment

Another popular way to enhance your car's performance is to improve its wheel alignment. This is a fairly inexpensive option but by making sure the angle of your tyres are precisely aligned, you can make a lot of difference.

As well as ensuring your car gives an easier and smoother drive, a wheel alignment can also reduce wear and tear on your tires and other parts of your car.
