demicjusz  +  78991 Sun, 06 Mar 05 07:03 PM Hello! Does 'car tuning' only refer to tuning the engine? If so, what do you call other work done to change the car? All the best demicjusz Joined on Mon, Aug 30 2004 Poland Junior Member 98 This is not an anonymous account. Demicjusz /da-'meets-yoosh/

You could also use 'modify' or 'enhance' when describing actions that improve the performance of a vehicle. As MrP says, maintenance is 'service' or 'repairs' - both of which my car badly needs Mike in Japan Joined on Tue, Aug 19 2003 The lounge Senior Member 4,389 I do like to be beside the seaside

	pieanne  +  79148 Mon, 07 Mar 05 11:15 AM But I guess that "tune" always means "enhance", "make better" "optimize", whatever, BUT without there being anything faulty, right? pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!

	Mike in Japan  +  79160 Mon, 07 Mar 05 11:54 AM Yes, in a way. Tune means adjust to an appropriate setting. Mike in Japan

	pieanne  +  79162 Mon, 07 Mar 05 11:56 AM Yes, for a piano, right? Does "tune up" exist? I guess so... pieanne

	Mike in Japan  +  79167 Mon, 07 Mar 05 12:09 PM Yes, musical instruments can be tuned, equipment can be tuned, even plans can be tuned. Have I have overlooked any other tunables? Mike in Japan

	pieanne  +  79176 Mon, 07 Mar 05 01:16 PM tune to a mood? pieanne

	Mike in Japan  +  79182 Mon, 07 Mar 05 01:21 PM You mean; tune in to someone's mood (percieve, ascertain their mood)? I guess that might be possible. Mike in Japan
