Agree. The redirect at car tuning should be replaced by an article. I'll put a stub there when I get around to it, or, as you obviously have an interest and some knowledge, have a go yourself, and Welcome to Wikipedia. Andrewa 20:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

The stub is now there. Feel free to expand it! Andrewa 21:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

what does valve timing means

timing of the valves - 24.170.132.41 6 July 2005 21:12 (UTC)

Please sign your posts on talk pages. Valve timing is the timing at which the valves open and close, normally expressed as degrees before or after top dead centre. On older engines it was fixed by the camshaft grind, but a few modern engines have variable valve timing, and it's seen as something we'll see a lot more of in the interests of cleaner and more fuel-efficient engines.

See the new article at valve timing. Andrewa 21:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Car tuning in its purest form is for performance enhancement whereas modding includes visual and other non performance related amendments therefore I strongly feel that Modding and Car Tuning should not be merged and that modding cover the visual and non performance modifications.80.229.187.237 22:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Peter Blakes

-- I just have to say that the Kia picture in the Car Tuning article is the funniest thing I've seen all day, thanks.

Crome and Uberdata under See Also should either be A) moved to Chip Tuning main article. B) supplemented with chip tuning solutions for vehicles other than Honda(this could be quite a long list, hence suggestion A) rxKaffee (talk) 09:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
