Acura Ilx - Video tutorial

Operation: Mount Vortex generators on Acura ILx

Vortex generators are a component of the aeronautical and aerospace industry to delay flow separations. A different type of VG is also used on racing cars to generate downforce. In a production car it is a row of spikes, which are normally found in the rear of the car, to help it glide through the air more effectively. You can buy them on Amazon. The 6-piece kit costs $ 33.95. It is a very popular accessory in the USA, while in Italy it is still little known. The installation method is very simple: after having thoroughly cleaned the roof of the car, line up with the tape and a tape measure for the telephone antenna, as in the video. They are glued to the car roof using double-sided tape. Very simple.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
