help me out I wanna learn how to mod my car myself, I'm planning to go with a nice h/c set when I eventually have the budget for it...
but in the mean time I would like to actually learn how to be able to install all that myself ie intake/exhaust/headers/ etc but I don't know what class would be good for all that.
So here's a list of class descriptions maybe you guys can help me out.
"AUTO 100 - AUTOMOTIVE FUNDAMENTALS
Introduction to the principles of operation of modern automobile systems and a practical introduction to automotive tools and diagnostic equipment. A must for anyone who owns an automobile."
"AUTO 103 - AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE PERFORMANCE/FUEL AND EMISSION SYSTEMS
Operating principles,troubleshooting techniques and repair procedures for automotive engine performance systems. The emphasis is fuel and engine emission control systems. Demonstrated lectures and practical experience in the laboratory using modern testing equipment, oscilloscopes, and other diagnostic equipment on "live" vehicles."
"AUTO 104A - AUTOMOTIVE ENGINES
Learn all aspects of modern engine overhaul procedures utilizing the latest in engine machine shop equipment."
What do you guys think?
