David & Charles Triumph TR4 & TR4A: Your expert guide to common
Book SynopsisThe TR4 represented a new breed of British sports car. Its modern lines, and accessories, such as wind-up windows and face-level ventilation, were a big departure from the earlier TR3 models. While TR4 mechanical parts may not have been new, the introduction of IRS (independent rear suspension) on the TR4A set a new benchmark for sports cars of thet era. Performance was solid, if not spectacular, with 109mph attainable in overdrive top, and these TRs found a ready market in all parts of the world. Now nearly 60 years old, the TR4 and TR4A still attract a huge following worldwide. This book is designed to offer owners and potential owners of these cars an insight to the common problems that can arise and how to fix them, and often making an improvement at the same time. Arranged into easy to follow sections - engine, driveline, suspension, etc - you can see not only where the problems arise, but how to solve them. Information is also provided on owners' clubs and spares suppliers to help keep your car in good condition and on the road.Trade ReviewA handy size that fits in a glovebox, it may well come in useful at the roadside too for diagnosing problems relating to vibration, noise and smell - Classics Monthly --- It will be of particular interest to the new owner keen to learn more about their car ... I commend this book as a handy addition to the glovebox of any TR4/4A owner. - Club Torque --- It's a resource that surely no owner or would-be buyer should be without - tkc (Totalkitcar) --- Hogan’s deep knowledge of his subject shines through in his detailed explanations and good photograph selection. This pocket guide will be invaluable for anyone who is considering buying a TR4 and will doubtless prove useful to those who have already taken the plunge. - Classic & Sports CarTable of ContentsContents.

David & Charles Optimising Car Performance Modifications: -
Book SynopsisThis highly practical and useful book covers brilliant techniques that take the guesswork out of performance modification. Using just some low-cost tools, you can easily measure the flow restriction of your car's intake and exhaust. It's like having a huge flow-bench always available. By making some simple on-road measurements, you can plot the shape of the engine's power and torque curves - no dyno needed. This allows you to not only see if performance modifications to the engine are improving power, but also see where in the rev range those changes are occurring. Assess the worth of cams, a larger turbo, changed boost control or altered engine management mapping. But the book doesn't stop there - it also shows you how to measure your car's aerodynamics, seeing if at speed your car is developing lift or downforce. Want to make a rear wing work well? Test the angle at which downforce is greatest. You can also test the aerodynamic airflow through oil coolers, intercoolers and radiators. Interested in improving your suspension? By using a low-cost app and a smartphone, you can accurately measure suspension behaviour. If you want a practical, hands-on book that will immediately save you money, show where modifications are most needed, and can be used to assess performance outcomes, this is the book for you.Trade ReviewThe book itself is written in an easy to understand manner, with the concepts and ideas easily conveyed. It encourages you to try things, but to do so in a way which gets you useful information about the changes to your car. This book gets you comfortably into the subject, and crucially gets you thinking about it. - www.silhouet.com. Easy to understand and accompanied by a wealth of good photographs, if you are into car turning, this is a cost-effective must-have title. - Iain P W Robertson. Providing easy techniques for measuring the performance of your car on the road before and after modifications, this full-colour paperback from Veloce shows you how to plot the shape of engine power and torque curves, how to measure the airflow associated with air filters, throttle bodies and induction kits, how to flow-test exhausts, how to check oil cooler, intercooler and radiator airflow and how to measure braking and suspension behaviour using a smartphone. Boasting techniques that'll save you money whilst giving you real world results, this brilliant book (authored by AutoSpeed editor Julian Edgar) promises to enable you to make the most of your modified Porsche. - Ultimate Porsche. The book is a useful and essentially practical guide - providing you can find an empty enough stretch of road to put the author's techniques to the test!

The book is a new title in Veloce's Enthusiast's Restoration Manual series, and is based on articles from Europe's leading classic car magazine OLDTIMER MARKT.Trade ReviewSteering and suspension are among the most vital safety components. As a result, many classic owners who are happy to tune a carb or replace a timing belt are put off when it comes to replacing a ball joint. Understandable though this is, Veloce's new book shows just how simple most set-ups are and that the DIY-er need not be so reluctant. With 680 full colour images, there are plenty of illustrations to explain things and sections devoted both to repair and modification. If you're intimidated by classic suspension, but want to give it a go, this book's for you. - Classic Car Weekly.

David & Charles Modifying the Aerodynamics of Your Road Car
Book SynopsisThis unique handbook assumes no starting knowledge of vehicle aerodynamics. It begins with simple ideas and finishes with sophisticated and effective aerodynamic modifications that work. Three major chapters cover on-road testing techniques that give you all the information you need to decide what modifications you should make - and, after you've made them, how well they work. Low-cost techniques allow you to visualise the patterns of airflow over your car so that you can actually see the problem areas that need improvement. Uniquely, you're also shown how to measure aerodynamic pressures, so you can determine which body surfaces are creating lift, drag and downforce. Want to work out where a wing should be placed? On-road testing to find that out is covered as well. The book also shows you how to measure downforce to see if that wing is actually working! If you wish to reduce drag, more than ten different areas are covered. Reducing frontal area, lowering cooling system drag, optimising vehicle ride height and rake, reducing the strength of the wake, achieving clean airflow separation and optimising wheel designs - they're all covered using the latest research findings. And if you're a performance driver, there's a major chapter devoted to reducing lift and improving stability. This chapter includes the design and development of undertrays and diffusers, wings and spoilers. The example car developed measurable downforce when fitted with an undertray and rear diffuser, something that transformed its on-road handling. The author has been writing about the aerodynamics of road cars for more than 25 years. He is also an experienced and proficient car modifier who has performed numerous aerodynamic modifications and upgrades to his own cars. The book's technical consultant, RH Barnard, is an acknowledged world leading automotive aerodynamicist. If you want a practical, hands-on guide that demystifies and explains car aerodynamics, and shows you how to make effective aerodynamic modifications to your car, this book is for you.Trade ReviewA great read for anyone interest in car aerodynamics. tkc (Totalkitcarhttp:/)this is a great practical guide to road car aerodynamics, simply explained, and backed up with plenty of references to industry sources and papers for those who want to find out more. www.silhouet.com. a fascinating book Iain P W Robertson - FreelanceTable of ContentsChapter 1 - Theory * Wake drag * Viscous drag * Body pressures causing drag and lift * Interference drag * Attached and separated flows * Reynolds numbers * Trailing vortices * Undercar flows * Drag and lift coefficients * Yaw * Dynamic and static pressures Chapter 2 - Aerodynamic vehicles * Rumpler Tropfenwagen * Opel RAK II winged rocket car * Tatra T87 * Porsche Type 64 * Volkswagen Transporter * NSU Ro80 * Dodge Charger Daytona & Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird * Holden Special Vehicles Group A Commodore * Opel Calibra * General Motors EV1 * General Motors Chevrolet Volt * Volkswagen XL-1 Chapter 3 - Flow visualisation * On-road flow testing * Visualisation techniques * Wool-tufting * Smoke streams * Eroding clay * Dust Chapter 4 - Pressure measurement * Pressure measurement aims * Measuring instruments * Magnehelic gauges * Pressure probes * Measuring pressures with a Magnehelic gauge * Step-by-step pressure measurement * Using pressure measurement data * Using pitot tubes to measure airspeed Chapter 5 - Measuring drag and lift * Measuring drag * Required power testing * Coast-down testing * Fuel economy testing * Measuring lift and downforce on the road Chapter 6 - Reducing drag * Reducing frontal area * Reducing rear vison mirror drag * Reducing cooling drag * Ride height and rake * Reducing the area of the wake * Reducing the strength of the wake * Achieving clean separation * Reducing separation bubbles * Undertrays * Wheels, tyres and wheel arches * Reducing drag - development of a new car Chapter 7 - Reducing lift and improving stability * Causes of lift * Stability * Determining the centre of pressure and centre of gravity * Lateral forces * Undertrays and diffusers * Spoilers * Wings * Reducing trailing vortices * Active aerodynamics Chapter 8 - Improving flow through heat exchangers * Pressure differentials * Improving underbonnet intercooler airflow * Testing a diesel intercooler * Designing and installing an alternator cooling duct * Turning vanes * Bonnet (hood) vents and ducts Chapter 9 - Engine intakes * Benefits * Measuring pressures * Measuring engine intakes * Building a new engine intake Chapter 10 - Reducing aerodynamic noise * Causes of aerodynamic noise * Testing and measurement * Decreasing noise production * Decreasing noise transmission * Modifications to reduce noise
