You don't get into auto, auto gets into you

Buy a car and work on it. Not hard

>>17812312
Work on what?

>>17812298
Best way is to just buy a car that maybe needs a little work and is modifiable and go to town on it. Start researching everything online, there's tons of forums with knowledgeable people and you car learn a ton of new shit in a short amount of time. Start with simple stuff of course, a cheap Honda civic is a good place to start because you can get performance parts for stupid cheap and learn the basics. Just don't make it super loud or obnoxious looking and people won't really make fun of you for driving a civic.

Whole group buys $1000 90s Civics then everybody helps everybody else keep them running and in the process everybody learns everything about their own car really fast.

Can do this with any specific generation of a model but 90s civics are cheap and plentiful

>buy manual shitbox
>attach large ebay turbo
>thrash daily until you blow a gasket (shouldn't be long)
>look on the internet for how to fix it
>learn

The car dumbass

Buy an old lawnmower and rebuild the engine. Preferably get one with a carb so you can rebuild that too.
Watch youtube videos.
Get yourself an old shitbox and start tuning it up once you've got the basics down,

Its the only right way to start.

Maintinence schedule should tell you. If it's not in the service log book it'll be online. Do it on a very popular car so there are more likely to be YouTube tutorials for it. Get the car's workshop manual.

Most community colleges and trade schools offer automotive classes. The good part about going to a school is that you're less likely to be taught retarded memes because the teacher is an actual tech.

That photo reminds me of the old internet gore pic of the guy with his jaw blown off.

>>17812298
I'm trying to do the same thing. I'm mainly just watching as many videos for "parts of the engine and how it works" as I can. But I don't know where to learn about all the other shit like turbos and TPI, etc.

Internet.


>exhaust gas spins turbine
>turbine is connected through an air-thight sealed rod into a compressor before the air manifold
>as exhaust makes turbine spin faster and faster compressor forces more and more air into the intake
>more air + more fuel = more power

I still have no idea how that guy was tanking that much pain

any good resources on carbureted cars, and older non-ecu shitboxes in general?

Buy a shitty car that 100% won't pass inspection, fix it until it does.

I'm learning so much on my $300 beater i bought. Also spent more than double that on parts already, but it's worth it for what i am learning.

>air goes through hole
>hole gets smaller
>due to the principle of physics, air goes faster and tries to lower pressure and suck stuff around it to increase pressure at the other end (venturi effect).
>a hole with fuel is in the middle of this lower pressure part
>as air goes through (thanks to the piston sucking air in the intake stroke) it also forces fuel out of the tube and into the mix with the air due to pressure

More like a wannabe who couldn't cut it in the real world.

>>17812298
Buy a $500 steaming pile of shit and daily it. The rest will take care of itself.

Depends where you go.

A lot of the teachers where I live own businesses or work in the field, but teach on the side to either earn a bit of extra dough, or just because they want to teach.

When yours needs something you have to buy the tool and you're responsible for actually figuring out how it's supposed to be done then your friends are the ones who actually pull it apart, being less afraid of breaking it since it isn't theirs and you mainly direct and try to keep collateral damage to a minimum. Also there's a case of beer.
