WELCOME TO HOSTILE PERFORMANCE
NEW SITE: WWW.HOSTILEPERFORMANCE.CO.NZ
This website is for all car enthusiasts aimed at the General Motors models and other peformance enhanced vehicles from other makers.
We now have a new site up and running:
My Cars
Because cars in general are hobbies of mine, I constantly buy, fix, and sell mine, often using this site to advertise. I also advertise others' cars on my site for free.
If you have a vehicle for sale, tips on performance and general upgrades, views, or would like to leave a pic of your car and comments (which could be added to this site) get in touch on the GUEST BOOK PAGE
Keeping Your Car Cool
Did you know that in 95 degree heat, the air in your car reaches approximately 146 degrees and the steering wheel can reach 158 degrees? So what can you do about it? First, you can tint your car windows. Clear glass magnifies the sun and intensifies the heat. If that's too expensive, buy manual sunshades.
Mirror tints and tints below 35% are illegal on most cars.
The maximum is 35%, seems a shame as mirror and darker tints seem to look better..
Also, if applying tint yourself, check the grade of tint if you have factory tinted glass as this could affect it.
I would hate to see more money go towards the annual police drinking fund..
Washing and Waxing Tips
Most cars now come with a clearcoat finish, which tricks owners into thinking they don't need wax. Actually, you should wax your car 3-4 times a year. Most manufacturers also recommend washing your car once a week. Remember to start washing your car only when the car's surface is cool and only after rinsing the entire car. Rub gently, one section at a time, and use specific car wash products--never household cleaners. After rinsing your car well, dry it with a soft, clean cloth.
Meguirs can custom make you a plan to suit your paintwork etc..
