I have n/o/ idea how to start learning about CARS thoroughly.

The JDM scene interests me so much, so i basically have autism.

Wot u kno tho?
:thinking:

The basics. I don't want to be a typical autist that only knows the basics though.

Go buy a total shitbox off Scumtree and work on that. If something breaks fix it yourself. Look up manuals or videos to assist you if you need it.

Recommendations?

Go buy and play My Summer Car.

Was actually considering that, is it actually realistic though?

Falcodore, ae92 corolla, whatever the hell you want really. The cars I listed are easy to work on though.

Tafe does an entry level course in vehicle maintenance that I think you can do for free. Might be worth looking at so you can get some basics down.

I just learnt by fixing things as they broke on my first car, a corolla.

Now I've got a Subaru H6 and know those things pretty much inside out. Cars are easy, seriously. If you're not trying to rebuild your automatic transmission or something straight away, cars are just a bunch of parts attached to other parts.

Is there a way to turn off the eating, drinking, pissing, bullshit and just having it as a car builder?

>>16512947
no. thats why you get a shitbox. whatever car you get as your first wrencher, you are most def gonna fuck it up somehow.

thats why you get the most barely running crapmobile you can find.

What makes the Falcon/Commodore/ae92 Corolla easy to work on?

>>16512947
The ST isn't bad to drive hey? I had the XR4 from the generation before it. Got it new and drove for 6 years. Sold it when the wife and I were buying a house. Less power than the new one, but still so much fun to drive.

It's honestly such a fun little thing to drive. Pushes hard through low revs then hits boost and has torque like a v6. Handles like it's on rails too; it's no wonder that its Ken Block's car of choice.
