Hey everyone, i just started driving bout 6 months ago and i never really cared about cars before that. now sience im driving i have found a new obsession with cars. i want to know if there is any sites or books for a person new to cars. i cant really experement on cars right now though because my dad wont let me tear apart his dodge ram. the only real thing i know bout how to mess with cars is how to changw oil and air filters,so anyone know of any places to get tons of good info for starters? <edited><editID>Tympyst</editID><editDate>38099.9073032407</editDate></edited>

 

Oooohhhh yeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! VFAQs kids, vfaqs.</P>


www.vfaq.com</P>

 

im talking bout more general stuff. like a site that tells you the components like camshafts, valves, spark plugs, etc. and what each actually does. then from there after i get that knowledge ill go to more advanced stuff.

 

if you just started driving I hope you are still in school? if so sign up for a votech class at school get the training for free now while you can.

 

i signed up last year but to many people wana do that class so i may not get in. <edited><editID>Tympyst</editID><editDate>38100.3449768519</editDate></edited>

 

I learned from just digging in and getting my hands dirty--of course i have had a better opportunity to learn because my family is into dirtrack racing-four wheeler racing. my dads always been a do it his self person so i learned alot from him too because his logging rigs are always breaking down. best thing to do is take a class and get your hands dirty..if you like racing- get into dirt track racing, its not that expensive of a sport and you learn a great deal from the Veterans that hang out around the tracks and the ones that race also! you dont need a book-or website...do like i did go out and learn things the hard way...by messing things up!just some advice...

 

Yeah look around for an auto course in school or tafe something like that i've learned alot about cars and bikes doing it that way i've just passed automotive stage 1 cert and now i'm waiting to get into auto electronics but its good to learn stuff about cars the more you know thefaster the car will run. <IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0"></P>
